I slam the door and lock it.
Blair is standing in the middle of the room, chest heaving, hair wild. She looks like a wreck. She looks like an angel who just fell from grace and landed in my hell.
“Get on the couch,” I command.
She doesn’t hesitate. She doesn’t argue. She moves.
She scrambles onto the velvet, hiking her dress up to her waist before she even settles. She spreads her legs, offering everything to me.
Fuck.
My control is hanging by a thread.
I strip off my jacket and throw it on the floor. My tie follows.
I stalk toward her, unbuckling my belt.
“You want revenge?” I ask, looming over her. I watch her eyes track my hands. I watch her lick her lips. “You want to use me?”
I push her knees wider, stepping between them.
I free myself again. This time, there’s no hesitation. No teasing.
“Fine,” I tell her, grabbing her hips and dragging her to the edge of the cushion as I sink to my knees. “But I’m a monster of your making, unleashed after hunting you for years. There is no escaping me now.”
Her eyes widen.
“What?”
I don’t explain.
I don’t give her time to process.
I grab her ankles and wrap her legs around my waist. I grip the base of my cock, running the head along the slickness of her pussy, pushing inside a little with each pass.
“It’s too late to run."
I drive into her.
Deep.
Until I can’t go any deeper.
She screams, her head falling back against the velvet cushions, her body bowing like a willow branch in a storm.
Goddamn.
The sensation is blinding. It’s a car crash. It’s a building collapsing. It’s the end of my fucking world.
She’s so tight, clamping down on my cock like she’s trying to keep me inside of her.
"Look at me," I bite out, grabbing her jaw and forcing her gaze to mine.
I need her to see who’s doing this.
I need her to know it’s not Ryder. It’s never going to be Ryder again.
"You feel that?" I snap my hips, withdrawing and slamming back in. The sound of skin slapping against skin fills the small room. I wonder if she feels her world collapsing around her the way I do. The way it’s laying a new foundation brick by brick every time our bodies come back together.
