His control shattered. He slammed into her, teeth clenched, every thrust a vow and surrender. She was fire and silk and storm beneath him, taking everything. All of him.
Her cries came sharper, higher—broken pieces of his name on her lips. He braced above her, devouring every sound, every shiver, every flutter.
The pace turned brutal, beautiful.
Skin on skin.
Sweat and water.
Her head fell back, mouth open in silent ecstasy.
“Right here,” he said, voice wrecked. “I want to see you… when I give you everything.”
“Give it… to me.”
Her words fractured.
“All of it.”
Her eyes didn’t waver. Not when he slowed to the edge. Not when he plunged again, deeper than before. She was watching him—claiming him with her gaze.
Her body clenched around him and she moaned.
“Viktor—Viktor—”
He buried his face in her neck, his release ripping through him with a roar. His body shook as he spilled into her, every ounce of himself surrendered, every shred of restraint burned away.
Take it. Take all of me. Only you.
And still she didn’t let go.
She shattered around him, crying his name, her fingers fisted in his hair like she could hold the moment—hold him—forever.
His chest heaved against hers. His forehead dropped beside her ear. His hand still gripped her thigh, twitching like his body hadn’t accepted it was over.
If I let go, I'll lose her. If I stop, I'll break.
“Viktor,” she whispered, stroking his hair, his temple, as if she could soothe the violence from his veins.
He shook harder.
She doesn't understand. She should never want me like this. Not wrecked. Not ruined.
But her lips brushed his cheek, his jaw, his mouth.
“I want all of you,” she breathed.
As though she’d seen the darkness and chosen to stay.
And he broke again—silently this time—clinging to her like she was the only thing keeping him alive.
He choked on air, his voice ragged.
“If you regret me, Amerei, I won’t survive it.”
She tilted his face until he had to look at her—until he could see the truth blazing in her eyes.
“I will never regret you, Viktor. Not now. Not ever.”
