Quicker.
Harsher.
Deeper.
I didn’t want him to stop, terrified of what would happen when he did.
His torment.
His demons.
The loss of his family.
“Uh…” I moaned, not wanting this to end.
I let him take me, have his way with me, aware he was trying to fuck me out of his heart.
His mind.
His soul.
However, it had the opposite effect, and it was that way for me too.
We were the same, and I was beginning to think we always had been.
I was never one of those girls who used sex as a weapon or was on the receiving end of it. I never thought it would be this easy to turn desire into power and use it against me. Somewhere between Julius leaving me and Kraven pulling me closer to him, I got caught in the truth I’d been pretending didn’t exist.
Their mother warned me.
Once we caught our breaths, he murmured into my neck, “This changes everything between us, Isla.”
He’s right.
There was no pretending after this.
No forgetting his mouth on mine.
His body on top of mine.
His dick inside me.
The way my heart didn’t hesitate to heal his.
This was the moment when reality couldn’t hide behind unasked questions anymore. The truth was in plain sight.
Glaring right at us.
Starting and ending when he came deep inside me, growling, “You’re mine now. No matter what.”
CHAPTER
FIFTY-TWO
JULIUS
I gasped,shooting straight up in bed. My hand instantly went to my heart, which hammered against my ribs. I was sweating and trying to catch my breath.
I’d heard that soulmates could feel each other from across the world. It didn’t matter how far apart you were. Your soul could feel theirs.
