There’s no build up to what he’s doing here and I imagine he’s kissing me now the way he plans to fuck me later. Hard. Rough. Filled with his dominance and a desperate need to force me into submission.

I give into the promise on his lips, fisting my hands into the material of his shirt and yanking him closer.Take me.My actions all but demand.

He stumbles forward onto the bed but catches himself with his forearms on either side of me, keeping his weight from crushing me while he positions himself between my thighs.

Dominique adjusts our new position, lining up his already hard length with my center before pressing his erection against my core. He rocks his hips into me and my breath catches.

A soft whimper of protest escapes my lips as Dominique breaks our kiss to look down at me.

“I’ll always show up.” His mouth twists into a sardonic smile. “Especially when it comes with the added bonus of putting your pretty little ass in its place.”

ELEVEN

DOMINIQUE

Kasey shoots me a dark look. “Careful,” she warns, a hint of her bratty attitude slipping into her tone.

It’s cute that she believes she holds any power here. Like her irritation is reason enough to keep me in line. Hardly.

“Or what?” Nipping at her bottom lip, I roll the skin beneath my teeth, tugging on the kiss swollen flesh before biting down hard enough to result in a hiss that slips from between her teeth but despite the sting of pain, Kasey doesn’t pull away.

Baby girl, You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into.

Seeing her with Deacon this afternoon set me on edge for most of the day. Thoughts of what he was saying or doing with her before I arrived have driven me to the fringes of insanity, and I’ve used my time alone to consider everything I’ll do to Kasey’s smart little ass in payment for the suffering she’s put me through.

She knows how I feel about Hunt. It’s like she wanted to provoke me with that little stunt of hers. And her comment to Aaron about Deacon beingjust a friend… bullshit. Deacon’s already confirmed he’s after more from her than that. Which is why I want him to stay the hell away from her.

I counted down the hours, the fucking minutes, before Aaron passed out, desperate to make my way over here and I’m going to savor every second of my time between Kasey’s smooth, creamy thighs.

This is the first time I’ve come to her. That I’ve been the one with a thirst in need of quenching instead of the other way around. It should bother me. Worry me at the very least. But right now, I’m too focused on the idea of her naked body writhing beneath me to care.

These past weeks I’ve held myself back, keeping the monster inside me at bay.

Kasey is inexperienced. If I’d known she was a virgin at the start of things, I never would have agreed to our current arrangement. She’d been innocent. Pure. A delicate creature too fragile for my roughened hands.

I accepted the gift of her body with little protest. My control in the face of her grief is tenuous at best. The selfish bastard inside me was fueled with the need to claim the girl that I’ve all these years silently and recklessly considered mine.

I’ve never claimed the title of saint. If I had, maybe I’d have been strong enough to deny her. To deny us both. But growing up as one of Sun Valley’s notorious Devils is a title and reputation I’ve very much earned. When a Devil wants something, he takes it. And I’ve ignored my own wants and needs long enough. It’s time I give in to the urge to drive Kasey to the edge of madness and show her the darker sides to be found in pleasure. The ones carefully mixed with an appropriate measure of pain.

“Take your clothes off. Let me see you.”

Her nostrils flare, the spark of defiance igniting in her eyes urging her to fight me on this, but tonight, I won’t be relinquishing any of my control.

Kasey will accept my orders and do as she is told or mark my fucking words, there will be consequences to pay.

“It isn’t a request,” I growl deep in the back of my throat. “It’s a fucking order. Don’t make this worse on yourself by refusing me, Kasey. I am not in the mood.”

Her eyes flash with fury, but there’s heat in her gaze too. A full body shudder wracks her small body and a delicate blush colors her chest.

I watch for the moment she decides to comply. An intense satisfaction coursing through my veins when she offers me a barely perceptible nod.

Taking a step back, I give her enough space to sit up so she can peel back the layers of her clothes and bare her body for me. She starts by unbuttoning her pants, sliding them down her toned legs and removing one foot and then the other before gathering the hem of her shirt and tugging it over her head. She hesitates, chewing on her bottom lip while I devour her with my hungry gaze. The pink lace cups her full breasts beautifully, teasing me with the sight of her rose tipped nipples through the almost sheer material of her bra.

“Bra and panties too,” I grunt, eager to have her bare.

Kasey does as she’s told, surprising me as she slips the matching scrap of pink lace between her legs down and over her hips. Bending down, I retrieve her panties, tucking them into my back pocket. I realize I’m quite fond of pink and this pair of panties is mine.

Breaths coming faster now, Kasey remains quiet about my theft of her undergarments as she reaches shaking fingers to her back and unhooks the latch of her bra. Tossing it aside, she moves her arms to cover her breast but a firm shake of my head and she slowly presses her arms to her sides.
