“I don’t trust you.”
“Also fair.Just so you know, I don’t trust you either.”
“I wouldn’t expect you too, Velle the Viper.”
No one had ever called me that either.
“The legendary terror of the D’Arcos,” he said.“Believed to be unstoppable.”
I scoffed and lifted a hand to tap my collar.“Yeah, well … just don’t tell anybody.”
“Your secrets are safe with me.”
“Why?”It seemed all I was asking.The man was a mystery I wanted to unravel.
“All you need to know right now is that they are.And that I’m gonna need you to scream for me.”
I jerked my eyes to his.“What?”
He tipped his head toward the door.“For their benefit.”
“You said they couldn’t hear us.”
“When I want them to, they can.”
“Ah.More secrets.”
He flashed his fangs at me.“More secrets.A brilliant strategist such as myself trades in them, don’t you know?”
“And how exactly do you intend to make me scream?”
“Oh, I have some ideas.”
He released my arms and unwound the ties holding together his pants.When he pushed me back onto the bed, my legs automatically parted for him.
Whatever and whoever Alobaz Hawxley truly was, whatever he had or had not done, my body wanted him regardless.
When his cock sprang free of his pants, I’d already made quick work of my own, and was yanking them down my legs.
Baz lowered himself on top of me.His breath was hot through the cotton of my shirt as it grazed the swells of my breasts, hot against the shell of my ear.
“Ready to scream for me, my vicious viper?”
My pride, however tenuous my hold on it was, refused to submit so easily.
He traced his tongue along the sides of my earlobe.Bit it softly with his fangs.
My arousal scented the air like perfume.
He groaned in appreciation.
“You know I still hate you, right?”I said.“You’re a Rubor.You conquered my kingdom.”
“Of course, my vicious D’Arco.I hate you too.”
What else was there left to say?
I smacked my hands to his ass—and pulled him inside me.
He moaned.
I moaned.
I arched my back.
He stretched me and filled me so perfectly, so completely.
When I screamed, my pleasure sounded like pain.
