A short visit.
I stand outside her door, breathing deeply to calm myself before I knock. Being angry at her for going off on her own is unreasonable. I know it. But it doesn’t ease the thumping in my skull.
Keeping her safe is my priority, and no matter how unreasonable, until this fucker is dealt with, I need to know where she is. At all times.
She opens the door in a set of tiny pink pyjamas, with her hair piled up on her head and her eyes ringed with smoky makeup.
God fucking damn.
‘Hi,’ she breathes, standing on tiptoes to brush her lips over my masked mouth.
If it’s a strategic ploy to calm me… Well, it fucking works. How am I supposed to be mad at her when she looks this sweet?
She moves aside to let me in.
As soon as she locks the door, I spin and pin her to the wall, delighted in the way she squeaks.
Sliding a hand into her hair, I tip her head roughly, bending so my face is close to hers. ‘How am I supposed to look after you if you don’t tell me where you’re going?’
‘I had to speak with Martha, and I wanted to do it alone.’
‘Yourwantsare going to get you hurt.’
Her eyes glitter as she looks down to where my mouth would be, before meeting my gaze again. ‘Maybe Iwant it to hurt.’
Well fuck. The little devil is going to be the death of me.
‘You want me to hurt you?’ I’d had enough sex that had hurt me inflicted on me to not realise people might want it.
‘I want to be consumed by you. All this torment you have, I want you to turn it into lust.’
‘You want me to fuck you? Roughly?’ While my brain might not understand, my body reacts to the idea.I wrap my fingers around her throat and press my body flush to hers, grinding my hardening dick against her. ‘You want this?’
‘Yes,’ she whispers. ‘I want you to teach me not to do it again.’
I close my eyes for a second, feeling the blood coursing through me. ‘I’d never punish you, Kat, I know how that feels.’
Her hand cups my jaw. ‘I want to feel you everywhere. Your tongue, your teeth, your cock. I want to feel your impression on my skin wherever I go. All this need and hunger you have in you, bubbling below the surface, give it to me. I’m greedy for it.’
My resolve is crumbling. Because I ache to possess all of her. To take and to mark.
‘Promise me you’ll tell me to stop if it gets too much,’ I say.
‘It won’t.’
‘I’ve been on the other side of rough, Kat. I can only do this if you promise to tell me to stop if you need to.’
She gives a soft smile. ‘I love that even here you want to protect me. I promise I’ll tell you if it’s too much. But it won’t be. What happened left its mark on me, too, and I need you to know what I am. From the outside, I might seem well adjusted, but I crave things I shouldn’t.’
Scooping her ass with one hand, while keeping my other on her throat, I lift her against the wall, spreading her thighs with my body. Arching my hips, I grind myhard cock against her sweet cunt through our clothes. The way her body trembles makes me groan.
‘Tell me what you crave, darling.’
‘I want to be claimed. I need you to use me like I belong to you.’
I let out a growl, tightening my fingers. ‘You do belong to me, Kat. Ever since the day we met, I knew you’d be mine. Others may have pleased you in my absence, but from now on, you’ll be coming for me, and me alone.’
I want to rip off my fucking mask so I can kiss her and taste her, but I’m not ready.
