I need to be close to her.
I need to fucking touch her.
I tuck my nose against her hip and drag in her scent like it’s the only thing holding me together.
My thoughts blur—lost to the pull of her.
I could show her so much. I could mark her with things that never fade.
I could make her beg for me, cry for me, lose herself in the weight of my shadows until I’m the only thing she knows.
The only thing she wants.
The only thing she needs.
Just like I need her.
Suddenly, her rhythm shifts. Her legs part wider. And then—fuck—two of her fingers slide inside, slow and deep, like she’s imagining they’re mine.
I swallow over the lump of lust and violence caught in my throat while the grip my shadow has on her throat tightens.
The need to touch Aurora becomes an ache I can no longer ignore.
I reach out, my fingers wrapping gently around her wrist. Slowly, I pull her hand away from her soaked cunt.
She whimpers and pouts in the cutest fucking way as I bring her fingers to my mouth and softly suck them clean.
Jesus fucking Christ, she tastes like corruption coated in powdered sugar.
I guide her hand to one perfect tit, then lean in and pull the nipple of the other into my mouth.
Even her skin tastes sweet.
When I bite down hard, her hips buck into the air while her wanton moan echoes off her bare walls.
“Fuck, Ezra … your fingers—need them so bad, need them inside me while I come all over your hand. Say I’m yours, Grim. Make me beg. Wanna be your good girl tonight …”
Her voice breaks off. A whimper. A moan. Sounds that say “take me” without saying a word.
That’s all the permission I need.
How the fuck am I supposed to resist a plea like that?
Chin on her bed, I watch her writhe, every inch of her soaked with want.
I slide her panties to the side and stroke between her thighs, growling at the obscene heat and slick waiting for me.
I won’t hurt her.
She’s … different.
Sacred, somehow.
Slowly, I push one finger into her hot, perfect cunt while my other hand strokes my cock with brutal precision.
Fuck, I knew she’d be tight.
Aurora whimpers, then cries out.
