“You,” Seere whispered. “All I’ve ever wanted is you.”

I choked on the tears I didn’t remember starting. “I know.”

He pulled us both to our feet. His eyes frantically searched mine. “Say it again.” His statement sounded more like a plea. “Sloane. Say. It. Again.”

“I’ll give you anything.”

“Everything.” He shook his head slowly, as if he couldn’t believe what I’d said. “I need everything from you.”

I looked at the man who’d tried to kill me wheezing on the floor. He wasn’t moving, but his chest was still rising with ragged breaths.

“No.” Seere pulled me back to his eyes. “Only me. No one else ever again. Only us.”

His stained thumb pushed one of my tears across my hot cheek. We backed up to the edge of my bed, and with a gentle nudge, I lowered to sit. Seere straddled my knees, towering over me with blood smeared across one side of his face. His hair fell over his eyes, adding to the darkness pouring over me.

“Only me?” The question tightened my chest, squeezing my heart. Or my soul. It was already marked for him, no matter how he answered.

“Let me show you what forever feels like.”

He pulled his shirt over his head then got to his knees between my legs. His palms pushed my knees apart, and his eyes dropped from mine.

“Fuck,” he groaned. He rolled his eyes back with ravishment before looking up at me. “Red lace.”

I nodded and pulled my dress off to show him the full crimson set.

He brought his face up to mine, hovering his body over me. Then the world fell away when his lips met mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he dragged me up to the middle of the bed.

The frenzy set in. He wasn’t moving fast enough.

My fingers pulled at his belt and pants. The ache in my core and the pounding of my heart couldn’t stand another minute of not feeling his skin on mine.

One finger dipped and pulled at the delicate fabric so his tongue could flick my hard nipple. My hips rose in a desperate arch, searching for him, and his free hand obliged. The thong I’d been wearing slipped away, and his fingers made hard circles around my throbbing clit, teasing and building the tension deep in my belly.

“Please,” I huffed out.

He looked up at me, releasing my breast. “My little flame, I’m going to give you everything you’ve ever craved.”

The pads of his fingers swept through my arousal, and he brought it up to my lips, pushing inside. I sucked the sweet, slippery taste from his fingers, taking them deeper over my tongue just to drive him wild.

With his sight fused to mine, he took his wet fingertips from my mouth and trailed them down my chest, over my belly then hip. His arm pulled me into him, bringing us into a deep kiss while the head of his cock pressed against my entrance. The thick crown stretched me over him, but he pulled away to keep me on the cusp.

I was caged to the bed by his knees and elbows next to my head. Our breaths collided between us, mine heavy and indigent, his slow and deliberate. His hips pulsed, easing his cock too slowly inside of me. The lines of his face didn’t change, but his lips parted to suck the air from my lungs. His face turned, and his eyes demanded I follow until I was forced to realize Ben was still lying on the ground, unconscious.

“Do you see what I would do for you?”

Seere thrust deep. So deep. My gasp met my moan in my throat.

“I will hunt your enemies down and beat them bloody. Then I’ll praise this pussy next to their brutalized corpses.”

His pace hardened.

The tops of his thighs slapped against me as he drove into me harder and faster. The building orgasm in my core intensified when he looked at me. “You think I’m bloodthirsty now. But make me your assassin and the world will burn at your feet.”

A clash of emotions and his relentless hips sent me over the edge, and I plummeted into ecstasy. My head fell back onto the soft duvet while every nerve in my body lit up just for him in a show of appreciation and acceptance of the promises he’d always kept.

Our hoarse moans of pleasure echoed around us. Seere gripped my shoulder and thigh tightener. His heavy breath hit my chest. Every thrust became shorter, more rigid, until he stilled, cum gushing and filling me deep.

My lungs fought for air but couldn’t draw it in fast enough to keep up with my heart. Seere buried his face between my breasts. His sweet kisses over my sensitive flesh masked the hunger I knew still coursed through him. He would always be starved. Until our souls fused together at the end of time, we would never be close enough.
