Any release I had felt earlier today is completely pointless now that his bite has brought back the mark’s relentless lustful pull. The moment his fangs sank into my wrist, my resistance to him was replaced by irrational desire to be claimed by him. It’s like my body has a mind of its own now, and a needy moan spills from my lips as my want for him grows more demanding. More feral.
Thane continues to move his hips, making me whimper as the feeling of his hardness teases me mercilessly. Any concern of having eyes on us ceases to exist, clouded by my insatiable hunger for him. Everything about Thane calls to me with endless temptation. His muscles. His moonlight eyes. His spellbinding scent. Each one, making me grow weak with never-ending want.
As if he feels it too, Thane’s hand tightens around the back of my neck, fighting to keep control. Unlike me, he isn’tparalyzed by the bite. If he wanted to, he could unleash his cock and bury himself in me right now.
And fuck.I wish he would.
I’d give just about anything to feel the full length of him fill me up and destroy me with the power of his Alpha dominance. Each time he bucks his hips, I find myself silently praying that he’ll free himself so that I can sink down onto his cock and finally know what it feels like to have him inside of me. Just imagining it has my pussy dripping with need, and my breath catching in my throat.
All of a sudden, Thane withdraws his fangs as if another drop of my blood would ruin him. The paralysis slowly leaves my body, but his grip doesn’t loosen. Instead, Thane buries his face into my neck, brushing his lips against my skin as he breathes me in.
I force my wrist free so that I can fist his hair as I grind into him, still overcome with savage need. His pleading groan encourages me to keep going, and the demand for release completely takes over. I ride his cock, using his zipper to rub my clit while his hands cup my bare ass, squeezing it in a possessive kind of way that makes my pulse race with adrenaline. My pussy throbs, aching to be sated by him, and with each roll of my hips, I feel his muscles tense beneath me while his lips find my ear, making my eyes roll back.
The sexual tension is all-consuming, and I know he feels it too. Even with the barrier of his pants, I can feel how hard he is. How much he wants me. His lips begin to work their way down to my breasts while I continue to grind on him with more urgency, driven by maddening need.
Thane slaps my ass as his tongue trails my cleavage, scoring a line of heat across my skin. It’s all too much, and yet not enough. It’s been so long since I’ve been with anyone, and mybody is starving for affection like it’s some kind of ravenous beast. Thane’s hand wraps around my throat, and I toss my head back, relishing the feel of his cock beneath me as I continue to roll my hips.
A low growl crawls up the back of his throat, letting me know that he’s enjoying this just as much as I am, and the thought of that sends heat blazing through me. His grip tightens around my neck as he thrusts his hips, injecting a rush of lust into my veins, and I lift my head back up so that I can lock eyes with him, needing to see the man who has completely consumed me. The two of us stare at one another with intense longing while I continue to ride him like a wild animal possessed with fervent need. My hands clutch his hair tighter as the orgasm draws nearer, and Thane pulls me closer with the hand still latched around my throat. His breath caresses my mouth as his soft lips brush against mine.
“Come for me, Grey.”
The sound of his rough voice pushes me over the edge, and I pull back, looking him in the eye with one last roll of my hips. My body spasms with intense satisfaction, and a breathy moan slips from my lips as I fall forward, letting the wave of ecstasy flow through me.
Thane growls into my pushed-up breasts, squeezing my ass while the climax continues to claim me. When he finally leans back to look at me, I rest my forehead on his, panting as the high of the orgasm settles between us. We stay like that for a long moment, neither of us wanting to pull away.
Thane drags his thumb across my bottom lip, but just as he’s about to claim my mouth with his, a tsunami of clarity knocks into me, and I push away, scrambling out of his lap as shame and disgust begin to eat away at me.
For a split second, Thane almost looks hurt by my reaction, but then a satisfied smirk spreads across his face as he leans back in his chair.
“You’re dismissed,” he says with the wave of his hand.
I lunge at him, but Kole’s strong arms wrap around me, draggingme away.
Thane
I must be some sick masochist to put her in that outfit. And even more of a masochist to let her grind on top of me to the point of physical pain. But fuck, the blue balls were worth it to watch her lose control of herself. To watch her ride me until she came. I can still hear the sweet sound of her moans, but as much as I loved the sound of them, I now find myself wanting to hear her scream my name. Not from fear, but from pleasure. I want her voice to grow raspy from begging for more, and her legs to shake as she comes with me still inside her. Until I have that, I’ll just be torturing myself. And no doubt, that’s exactly what will continue to happen.
After what I did yesterday and what I have planned for tonight, her hatred for me is only going to grow. She may have lost control, but the look on her face told me she regretted every second of it. The only reason she feels any kind of lust toward me is because of the mark. If it weren’t for me biting her, she’d only ever feel disdain for me, and the truth of that shouldn’t bother me, but it does. In fact, it does more than bother me. It eats away at me day and night. Everything I do is to make her life more miserable, and yet some twisted part of me wants her to look at me like I’m the best thing that’s ever happened to her.
It’s like she’s got her own set of sharp claws, and she’s dug them into my fucking soul.
Chapter 22
Though Thane has moved to the balcony above the stage, I can still feel his eyes on me, making it impossible to forget about what I’ve just done. Every time I glance up to make sure he’s still there, he’s already looking down on me like he’s waiting for something.
“Here, maybe this will help.” Kole hands me a shot of tequila, which I quickly toss back. When the burn of it reaches my chest, I steal the other shot out of his hand and down that one too. “I promise it really isn’t a big deal.”
“Yeah, sex is just a basic animal need,” Sienna offers with a smile. “I’m pretty sure every girl in here would’ve done the same thing if they had been sitting on Alpha’s lap.”
“Oh, really? Is that why everyone has been looking at me with judgy eyes?”
“They’re just jealous,” Kole answers with a shrug.
I shake my head and look at the ground, imagining myself melting into it. They might think climaxing in front of an audience is normal, but I certainly don’t. And the fact that I did so on top of Thane just makes it that much worse. The effectsof the mark are clearly intensifying. I still felt the whirlwind of lust well after he had removed his fangs from my wrist, and it took too long for me to come back to my senses. Even now, there’s heat flaring every time our eyes catch.
“Look, I’m really not in the partying mood now.” I start to head back to the stage, but Kole catches my wrist and spins me into him.
“Don’t let him ruin your night.” Kole slips his hand into mine and twirls me. When I come back around, he pulls me into a low dip. “Besides, it’s your one night with Kevin Bacon. It would be a shame to waste it.”
