Closing his eyes, he lived out his fantasy, driving Asmia closer to orgasm as her soft hands moved over him.
“Jim … yes! Make me come!”
The female’s voice shattered the fantasy, rage building inside him. Even as he tried once more to pretend, the human’s grating voice laid waste to the attempt, pissing him off more.
Ramming into her, Perfidious didn’t aim for finesse. He was driven by pure frustration, a desperate need to have the Fae beneath him. He wasn’t sure why he was so enamored with her, but for the first time in years, he had a new fixation. Something other than the long list of transgressions he was making right for his father.
“Fuck me, Jim!” Elizabeth squealed. “Harder.”
Realizing she’d outlived her usefulness, Perfidious gave her what she asked for, slamming into her hard enough to have her muddy brown eyes widening, the pain he saw there ratcheting up his desire. Not at all worried about her pleasure, he took everything he wanted, thrusting in deep, hard, the human’s hisses drawing his release nearer.
Now that was better. If he couldn’t have Asmia, he’d settle for a terrified human.
“Jim! That hurts! Ow!” Her hands clutched his shoulders, as though she could stop his relentless efforts to bring himself to orgasm.
Perfidious didn’t let up even as she thrashed, attempting to shove him off her. The feeble human thought she stood a chance.
“Jim … please.” She cried out in shock, the sound rich with agony.
Only when she started to panic did he lean down, let her see the evil that lurked within him. Seconds later, he erupted deep inside her, coming with a roar that would be heard throughout the entire floor.
The female didn’t come, scrambling to get away as Perfidious rolled off her.
Dropping one arm over his eyes, he worked to regulate his breathing. “Very nice, Elizabeth. Not the best I’ve ever had, but worthy.”
He heard her desperate sobs, felt the mattress shift, relished the sounds of her trying to escape. Unfortunate for her, the door was locked with the power of his mind, impenetrable by her or anyone else.
“Is that any way to say thank you?” he taunted, getting to his feet.
In an effort to evade him, Elizabeth darted toward the bathroom.
He halted her with his mind.
Tears dripped down her cheeks as she stood frozen in place, naked as the day she was born.
“Much better. Don’t worry, beautiful, it’ll all be over soon.”
The female recoiled as though he’d slapped her, making him laugh.
Perfidious grabbed her arm, jerked her back to the bed, positioned her so she was spread out wide, giving the impression she’d endured one hell of a fucking. Terrified brown eyes stared up at him, her mouth open. He leaned in close, covered her mouth with his, and eased her fear in an instant, sucking her pathetic soul right out of her.
Perhaps it spoke to his depravity, but he did enjoy a terrified soul. There was a sweet taste to it that he found enticing.
Leaving the crudely posed naked heap on the bed, Perfidious dressed, ran a hand through his hair to ensure it was in place before strolling out of the room.
A smile on his lips.
If he was lucky, Asmia would still be downstairs.
Chapter Eleven
AFTERSHE’DSPENTTHEENTIRENIGHTANDthe following day with Obsidian, it had taken tremendous effort for Penelope to remember she had a job, a life, and neither could be ignored though Obsidian had made quite the argument, especially when he insisted she wouldn’t be able to function if she wasn’t with him. While she didn’t doubt the accuracy of that prediction, she got the feeling he was being a tad dramatic.
As much as she would’ve preferred to remain holed up in that hotel room, being treated like royalty and driven insane by his exquisite lovemaking, Penelope had managed to extract herself from his arms long enough to come home to get ready for work. After all, makeup was a rather important aspect of her nightly costume, and she wasn’t about to fresh-face it on the casino floor.
Strolling down the wide corridor to her apartment, Penelope paused when the door diagonal to hers opened.
“Good evening, young lady,” the older man greeted, his eyes scanning the hallway.
