We burned together.
She took a deep breath and pushed against my chest, her gaze bearing into mine with newfound magic.
Her aura flickered around her, and the scent of lilies and roses mixed with rain was overwhelming.
Even in my anger, my frustration, I longed for her touch, for her mouth to swallow my words, to be shut up and...
Rescued.
I wanted Violet to rescue me from the volcanoes of my own self-loathing and deprecation.
“I never know where I stand with you! One minute you’re a knight in shining armor and the next you shut me out. I can not tell whether or not youdesireme as you claim, or if I—”
Her words infuriated me, and my beast.
I backed her up until her back hit the stained glass window behind us, my fangs pressing forth.
I grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at me, my vision pink.
How dare she get under my skin this easily!
“I told you, my little minx, desire is not the problem.”
“What are you afraid of?” she asked, her gaze practically neon.
“I told you, I don’t want to hurt you,” I grit through my teeth. My cock strained against my slacks. The shelf creaked from the weight of us pressing against it.
“I can take you,” she said, her voice a deep, breathy whisper that caused my cock to twitch.
Damn it, this woman was testing all my patience!
“Is that what you want, Violet?” I purred, running my nose up her neck, taking in her sweet, delicious scent. I set my hand on her hip, trailing my fingers over the fabric of her skirt, hovering just above...
My hand shook as I tried to regain my control.
Violet’s entire body tensed, like a freshly strung harp string.
Receptive to even the slightest of touch.
I was acutely aware of the repercussions of my touch, but even I knew no one had ever succumbed to me likethis.
I settled my hand over her warmth as my lips grazed her ear.
“You want me totakeyou?”
Her breath hitched as she rocked her hips forward, a strangled groan escaping her lips as she attempted to grind herself against my heated palm.
“You think you cantakeme?” I bit as I removed my hand from her mound and turned her around by the hips.
She yelped in surprise, and my vision turned red as I nudged her legs apart with my knee, trailing my fingers up the insides of her warm thighs.
“Is that what you want? Me to take you with my irresistible monster cock, knot and all? Hmmm?”
Anger and sadness swelled with desire, because I wanted her to say yes.
My knot had already started to swell, and I was already starting to see shades of red.
The thought of my prior fantasies mixed with reality as I wondered if she truly could take me in all my monstrous truth.
