"You can't," I told her, my voice rough with the effort to hold back my own desire.
She yanked her arms down again, hard. "Fuck you."
What I couldn't say was I wanted her to touch me.
Fuckinghell, I wanted her to touch me.
CHAPTER 12
Luna
My wrists burned where the leather of the belt cut into my skin, but I barely felt it as I pulled my arms down hard and fast through the bars until it caught. I felt the belt give a little, and I wriggled my hands around, trying to stretch it out more.
Tristan's breathing was fast and harsh, his scarred chest rising and falling against my naked back. "You're bleeding." His voice was strained. He tightened his grip on my forearms and rolled his hips, pressing his erection into my lower back.
I ignored the pain in my wrists as I fought with the belt. "Let me go." I spat the words out, not thinking. I just knew I was tired of having no control.
Tristan's grip on my arms tightened even more, and he leaned down to whisper in my ear. "You know I can't do that." His voice was low and rough, and it sent a shiver down my spine.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, but something inside of me had had enough of this bullshit. "You can. You just won't."
"No," he agreed. "I won't."
I was his captive, and there was no escape. But that didn't mean I had to make it easy for him.
I struggled against the belt, trying to pull my arms free, but it was no use. Tristan ran his hand down my side, his fingers tracing the curve of my hip. "Why are you trying to hurt yourself?"
I glared at him over my shoulder, my eyes flashing with anger. "Because you're a monster, and I'm trying to get the hell away from you."
Tristan's expression darkened with something I couldn't read, and I quickly tore my eyes from his and faced forward again.
But he grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him. "Say that again."
I swallowed hard, my heart racing as I stared into the cold darkness of his eyes. I knew I was playing with fire, but something inside of me wanted to get some kind of reaction from him. To make himfeel, like I was feeling. "You're a monster."
His eyes narrowed, and he leaned in, his lips brushing gently against mine. A direct contrast to the fire now raging between us. "You have no fucking idea what I really am." Then he kissed me hard, his tongue forcing its way into my mouth. I tried to pull away, but he was too strong. The metal was icy cold against my heated skin as he pinned me to the bars, his heavy body pressing into mine from behind.
I moaned into his mouth, unable to stop myself. Despite everything, I couldn't deny the way my body responded to him. Something hot and wild coiled inside when he touched me, andI ached for him in spite of myself. He was a monster, but he was also the only person who had ever made me feel this alive. Unlike every other man I'd ever been with, I couldn't shut him out, much as I wanted to.
Tristan pulled away, his breathing ragged. "Besides, you're lying. You don't want to be free. Not really. You want me as much as I want you."
"No," I lied between clenched teeth. I tried to deny it, but again, my body betrayed me. I was wet and aching for him, and I hated myself for it.
His warm breath tickled the outer shell of my ear as he ran his hand down my stomach, his fingers slipping between my legs. "Fuck, Luna. You're so fucking wet for me already."
I bit my lip, trying to hold back a moan as he stroked me. "Please," I whispered, not even sure what I was asking for.
He rolled his hips, and I felt his hard length through his pants. "I want you to beg me."
I shook my head, trying to clear the fog from my brain. "No, I won't."
"Yes, you will." He slid his hands down my body and gripped my hips, pulling them back until I had no choice but to step back and bend over, my arms stretched taut and the belt cutting into my aching wrists. "You're going to beg me to fuck you."
I closed my eyes, trying to block out the sound of his voice, but it was no use. There was no escape. I was at his mercy, and he was right.
I fucking loved it.
Tristan leaned over me and dropped kisses down my spine. I moaned and pushed my ass against him, trying to get closer. There was a heavy ache in my lower stomach, and I could feel his erection pressing against me. I wanted him inside me.
