“I need you,” I whisper. “Take me hard, and don’t hold back.”
Wild need ghosts across his face, and his hands flex against me. I think he’s going to do what I ask, but instead, he shakes his head, pressing a kiss to my navel as he slowly removes my underwear. His warm breath fans across my center, and I dig my nails into my palms, aching for more.
“You’re trying to run again. You want to be overwhelmed so you can’t remember what he did. And if that’s what you truly want, I’ll give it to you.” He pauses, trailing his fingers along the backs of my thighs. “But if you let me, I’m going to remind your body what it means to crave, to ache for more. I’ll take back every inch he tried to steal until you feel whole again. And then, only when you’re writhing and begging, I’m going to shatter you all over again.” His voice growslower when he adds, “Because only I get to ruin you, kitten.”
The words sear through me, both because of his dark promises and his savage honesty.
He’s right. I am trying to run. But Sin has always tried to help me learn how to fight back – to be more than a victim.
I want to be more.
“Okay,” I agree softly.
He gives me a look that tells me I’ve just signed up for exquisite torture, before his lips ghost across my clit. Pleasure jolts through me at the barest brush of his mouth, and I bite my lip to swallow my whimper.
“Oh no,” Sin says, narrowing his eyes as he pulls away to stand. “Those sounds belong to me, and I want to hear you,” he growls, pulling my lip from my teeth.
I try to catch his fingers in my mouth, and he chuckles. He’s still fully clothed in his black fighting leathers, whereas I’m completely exposed and almost panting from desire.
My fingers brush against the soft material, before my eyes flicker back to his. “Only if I get to feel you,” I answer, and start undoing the fastenings.
But before I get any further, Sin’s hands tighten against me. In my next heartbeat, he has me in the center of the bed with my hands pinned above my head. I gasp, both at the sudden movement and at the warmth of his thighs settled between mine.
He leans back, waiting to see if this is okay, and I realize his hands aren’t holding me. Glancing back, I find glowing red rope twined around my wrists.
He’s using his Destroyer powers to hold me. And yet, even as I pull against the ropes, there’s no pain, just warmth.
My eyes widen, but no fear comes, only desire. I give him a small nod.
Sin’s gaze rakes across my body, and I arch against the bindings under the heat of his stare.
“Fuck, kitten,” he says with a low groan, and his hands fist in the sheets. He takes a deep, shuddering inhale before leaning over me to kiss my navel. “If I take off my clothes, this will be over far too soon.”
His hand snakes around my back, further arching me off the bed. “Let me worship you,” he adds in a low voice that I feeleverywhere.
“Please, Sin,” I moan as he kisses a path down my stomach, edging closer to where I desperately want to feel him.
Teeth graze the sensitive flesh just above my pelvis, and I lift my hips to press into his touch.
“Close your eyes for me, kitten,” he murmurs.
My stomach flips. The flashbacks are always worse when I close my eyes. But the reminder only sends a renewed wave of defiance through me, and I do as he asks.
Immediately, my senses are heightened, but my focus stays locked on the way Sin’s lips start to travel lower. My core tenses, like every nerve ending is coiled in anticipation.
“Every time you think of him, I’m going to stop. Your pleasure is mine,” Sin promises as his hands curl around my thighs, and he spreads me wide.
“Please,” I breathe. But once again, he takes his time, letting his mouth explore every part of me.
I’m writhing by the time he finally takes one of my nipples into his mouth. He sucks on the sensitive nub, sending a jolt of pleasure through my body.
“Who owns your pleasure?” He purrs.
I whimper, needing more as he kisses a path back down my stomach. At my silence, he reaches up to lightly pinch my nipple.
“Words,” he reminds me in a low growl.
“You. It’s all yours!” I manage to gasp out.
