“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again,princess.”The fingers around my neck tightened. “I don’t crave any woman. But by all means, if you’re so desperate for me to fuck you, then I’ll happily do so.”
Before I could respond, he flipped me, pressing me face first into the wall.
Any victory I thought I’d claimed vanished—insignificant compared to the thrill of what would come next.
But first, I’d make him work for it.
LUCIAN
“No,”she mumbled into the wall.
Despite her objection and attempts to push back, I kept going. She knew how to stop me, and “no” wasn’t the right word.
I pressed my body to hers, pinning her to the wall to free my hands. Fisting her skirt, I bunched the material higher, baring her lush curves inch by inch. “Nice try.” I buried my face in her hair, laughing dark and low. “You’ve done nothing but beg for me to fuck you all night, and you think you can say no now? I don’t fucking think so.”
“Fuck you,” she grunted with another failed attempt to push away from the wall.
Her ass pressed against my cock, and I groaned. I’d been semi-hard all night, slipping closer and closer to the edge with every brush against her. I should have let her go as soon as we walked into the apartment, knowing how close I was to losing control, but I’d seen the sway of her ass as she stomped away, taunting me with her smart mouth, and I couldn’t let her go.
She touched a fear I’d buried and sworn wasn’t real, slicing through the last of my control. The restraint keeping me in check shattered, and I snapped.
You can stop now.
The thought whispered through my mind—an easy solution.
Icouldstep back. Icouldstop all of this, continue to make excuses, and avoid repeating the loss of control I experienced the last time we fucked.
But then I reached her warm, soft skin, and her words echoed inside my head.
Scared.
Scared that you’ll crave me.
Absolutely fucking not, and there was only one way to prove it to her—and myself.
“I plan to.”
She tried to stop my hand from reaching higher by clenching her thighs, but I shoved my foot between hers, kicking them apart. I groaned when I encountered my cum still coating hersupple skin. I dragged my fingers through the sticky mess to her core, finding her own wetness pooling there.
“Oh, princess. You can say no all you want, but you’re dripping for me.”
“That’s your disgusting leftovers from when you marked me like some kind of animal.” Her attempted snarl was breathless.
“Nice try,” I laughed softly. “This,” I said, dragging my finger through her slit before pushing inside, “is all you.”
She growled like the animal she just mentioned and shoved back, managing an inch of space before I had her back against the wall. I traced my tongue up her neck, shifting my hand wide over where I came between her legs.
“Did you like having my cum on you all night?” I asked, nipping her ear before soothing it with a sucking kiss. “I liked knowing it was there, dripping down the lush curve of your ass, keeping you from spreading those pretty thighs for anyone else.”
“It was disgusting.”
I snorted at her weak protest, knowing she meant it to be strong instead of a raspy whimper. “Hopefully you weren’t too sad about missing out on Ash because you won’t be fucking him ever again. You won’t be fucking anyone but me.”
She went still.
Her reaction sparked a sharp burn in my chest, fearing that the realization she wouldn’t be with Ash again drained the fight from her. I reached for another explanation instead—something easier to accept. Like maybe she was giving in to me.
And maybe…I was a fucking idiot.
