My eyes peel open, languidly blinking into the afternoon light streaming overhead.
It’s too bright.
“You’re so sweet like this,” Rowan’s voice causes my heart to slam painfully as I turn towards the sound. His figureis blurry, but wide and haunting as he stands over me. “I could do anything I want and you wouldn’t be able to stop me…”
My mouth is still dry as my tongue smacks against my teeth. I’m not as off-kilter as I was the last time I woke up, and rage flows from me. “Fuck…you…”
He comes closer, his hands making the softness below me dip with his weight. His deep, rich scent washes over me as I register his thick fingers brushing my hair out of my eyes.
“Such a little brat…” he tuts. He pulls something around my throat, causing my airway to constrict slightly. “Why don’t you lie there, and let me do all the work?”
My lip bob in a quiver. “What are… you going to do… to me?”
Words are hard to formulate, but as my anxiety ramps up and the events of the forest flood my mind, I can’t stop the fear racing through my veins.
He shushes me gently, pressing his forehead to mine like the deranged devil he is. “I’m only going to give you pleasure, Sunshine. Don’t be afraid of what I make you feel.”
That’s a little hard considering I’m terrified of him, and whatever vile heat that stirs up deep in my core.
I keep trying to convince myself that my arousal is only a reaction to his proximity. Nothing more.
But as he climbs onto the bed and rips my thighs apart, I’m reminded of the way he handled me in the woods. The sweet words he uttered and how unhinged he looked—like he had found salvation in me.
A whimper falls from me, and he shushes me as I feel his thumb pull my panties to the side.
“It’s okay if you want to sleep,” he mutters before spitting on my already soaked pussy. “You’ll still feel me while you dream.”
As if to punctuate his words, my eyelids grow increasingly heavy. I want to fight and kick him off of me, but all I can do is lie here as he situates himself between my thighs.
“Row…” my voice fails as weight sets in my bones.
“You like that nickname,” he muses as I feel him notch his head at my entrance. “Deep breath for me.”
He pushes forward, sinking fully into me as my eyes screw shut and my jaw slackens on a pathetic sound. I can feel every inch, and as he draws back, I can shamefully feel the wetness dripping from me.
“Go to sleep,” he mutters through gritted teeth as he moves over me, crowding my vision until all I can see is him.
My eyes close without hesitation as exhaustion beckons me. I’m sleeping, but I can feel every sensation. The rocking of his hips as he slams into me, the coiled muscles of my body as an orgasm begins to build, and every flutter of my core as he fucks me with abandon.
White-hot lust is what causes me to gasp myself back to consciousness. Without the strength to stop myself, my climax rips me apart beneath him, and I can only writhe as I explode.
Rowan places his forehead to mine, muttering soothing words under his breath as his movements become more intense. He slams into me one final time, taking my breath with his release as he groans over me. Warmth flows into me, and I can only bite my bottom lip as every drop of arousal is wrung from me.
“Such a good girl,” he coos, feathering kisses along my neck. He brushes something cold there, and it causes me to shiver.
“Bite…me…” I try to create venom behind my words, but it only comes out as a garbled whisper.
Rowan hums against my throat before I feel his teeth sink into my skin in a punishing love-bite. I moan involuntarily, turning my head away from him as he nips at my flesh.
“My mark looks good on you,” he says huskily before I feel his fingers ghost over the bruised skin.
“You…bit me…” The drug is sucking me back in. Everything is slowly going out of focus as my eyelids lower.
Rowan gives me a thin-lipped head tilt. “One day you’ll learn to watch that mouth around me.”
Darkness swallows me again.
