Her body curled into mine like it had muscle memory, like it needed me, even if she’d never admit it
out loud. Every soft gasp, every twitch of her hips, she was betraying herself with every breath.
Since that damn night in the cave, she’d burned a hole through every corner of my thoughts. I
couldn’t sleep without tasting her. Couldn’t breathe without smelling her. She was everywhere- under my skin, in my blood, tainting me.
How could a woman have so much control over me when I had none over her? The crone had
warned me-told me that as a null, Kiana wouldn’t feel the mating bond. Not like I did. It wouldn’t
drive her mad. Wouldn’t claw at her insides or make her bleed when I was too far away.
She could walk away tomorrow and never even blink.
I was the only one drowning. The only one who was tortured.
And I was the one who dragged her here. Into my territory. My house. My bed.
Fuck, I could smell her arousal. It was thick and hot and heady. She could pretend all she wanted,
but her body told the truth. Goddess, I ached for her, but I couldn’t have her. Couldn’t take her.
Slipping my hand down her panties, I curled my hands over her ass cheeks and pulled her hard against my c**k. She whimpered and squirmed against me.
“You want to come, baby?” My voice dropped to a growl as I rolled onto my back and brought her with me. She landed on top, legs spread over my lap, hair falling around us like a veil. My c**k
strained beneath her, begging to be buried deep.
“Ride me.” I ordered
Kiana’s hips shifted, grinding on me shamelessly. “Inside,” she whimpered. “I want you inside me.”
“It’d be good, wouldn’t it, baby? Filling you? Stroking you? Your hot p***y clenching around me.
You’d be so wet. Ah, fuck, you are so wet for me.”
“Yes.” She moaned and rocked harder, rubbing against me like she didn’t care about the pride she
was shredding. “Do it. Fucking, do it!”
Instead, I tore her panties down, shoved them aside like they offended me, and brought my thumb to her clit. The way she bucked-goddess, it was like a lightning strike to my spine. Her entire body
quaked.
And then she froze.

Shoved off me.
Scrambled away like I’d burned her.
I sat up, breathing hard, and met her glare in the dark. Her arms crossed over her chest like a shield, like she needed to protect herself from me.
“Leave,” she said, voice sharp but trembling. “Please.”
“I didn’t finish what I came here for.”

“Yes, you did!” She snapped, eyes blazing. “You wanted me needy. Helpless. Writhing under your
goddamn touch.”
She swallowed, voice still trembling. “Well, congrats. You win. I…I want you. Is that what you needed to hear? I want you Troy. Happy now? Please, just leave. I can’t take anymore. Not tonight.”
I stood, slow and unhurried, walked to her until we were chest-to-chest.
She didn’t flinch.
Didn’t step back.
So I bent, kissed her. Just once.
Soft. Deliberate.
“Good night, Kiana.”
Her eyes met mine, and there was fury in them-but also something hotter. A wildfire. And every single day since we’d returned from Wisteria Woods, I’d seen the fire grow.
She was becoming more of herself.
The next morning saw me with no sleep, a raging hard-on, and I was crankier than ever. I needed a goddamn outlet before I ripped someone’s throat out.
So I dressed, headed for the gym.
It was barely dawn, but the place was packed. Guards everywhere. Metal clanking, fists hitting flesh, the scent of sweat and testosterone thick in the air.
And then I saw him. A young man I recognized well.
Finn flipped his opponent, slamming him to the ground, and then he crouched. He had a feral look in his eye that wasn’t in any of the other guards. A few others stopped to watch, but Jenson stood
and clapped Finn on the shoulder.
