I prayed that it wouldn’t be as bad. That the surgeon’s work didn’t make it more painful than nature’s bond.
“Eyes on me,” Liam commanded, sliding inside me. His finger rubbed my clit. “That’s it. Breathe, cailín.”
Sucking in a sharp inhale, I gripped his shoulders. My fingers were the only part I allowed to tense.
“You’re doing so well.” He pushed another inch. The pressure of his touch increased.
There was a sting. I gasped, but it was over as Liam sank to the hilt. The invasion was intense. I was stretched. I was full. I wasokay.
Slowly, with more gentleness than I could have imagined such a large beast capable of, Liam pulled back. Kneeling on the edge of the bed, he stared at his cock.
I wriggled my elbows under me, pushing myself up to see.
That thick cock was coated in wetness. A red stain marked what he’d done.
“Mmm,” he rumbled. “Would you look at that?”
I opened my mouth, not sure how to respond. But Liam swiped two bare fingers over the iron length, capturing mywetness—and my blood. To my horror, he brought his fingers to his lips.
He sucked.
My mouth dropped open.
Between my legs, my pussy convulsed greedily. It was primal. Obscene. Monstrous.
“No one else will ever know what you taste like, little bird,” Liam growled, and with a sudden movement, he scooped me up, forcing me farther up the bed and lay me flat. He clutched my body with a decided ferocity as his rock-hard cock slid bad into my core.
His mouth seized mine with a brutal kiss that couldn’t be mistaken for anything other than a claim. I wrapped my arms around him, clinging to his body as he ravaged my mouth.
“I’m going to be as gentle as I can.” His voice was rough, words shards.
I must have lost my freaking mind, because I whipped my head back and forth. “No.”
He flexed his hips, sinking deeper into my channel. While there was a twinge of soreness, the rush of pleasure overwhelmed me.
“No?” He captured my jaw, forcing me to meet his gaze. The blue was the darkness of midnight.
“No,” I repeated. “Fuck me. Hard.”
Liam let out a strangled growl that was more animal than man. “You have no idea what you’re asking, cailín.”
“Yes.” I gulped. “I do.”
I was done being the perceived good girl. I wanted this, more than I wanted to breathe. I wrapped my legs around the back of his, pulling him tightly against me. My only regret was that he kept his clothes on. I couldn’t feel him. If we were going to do this, I wanted all of him.
But I suspected that wasn’t something he would ever share with me. Since I would be gone before we reached that point, I had to content myself with this.
His arms flexed and tightened around me. Captured in the vise-like grip, I held on as he began to rock into me. Each snap of his hips sent sparks shooting deep inside.
This was nothing like I’d ever experienced before. There was no awkward bumbling. This man new exactly what he was doing, and I hated to think how he was so experienced. But I had my own secrets, and they’d deceived him thoroughly.
My body burned. Pleasure scorched me from the inside out. It was a miracle we didn’t combust.
“I’m going to fuck this tight little cunt until its branded.” Liam thrust deep.
The filthy things he said nearly pushed me over the edge. My body trembled. A needy whimper escaped my lips.
“Ssshhh, little bird, you can take it,” he promised as his lips pressed against my jaw. “Just a little more.”
