Page 36 of Blood on Ice

“I have to take risks every day.”

“I’m not talking about on the fucking ice, although you damn well better keep yourself safe out there too. I’m talking aboutwhen you’re not with the team. Don’t go anywhere alone. Don’t you dare wander around the city half drunk at night.”

“I hadn’t had that much tonight.”

“It doesn’t matter. If you’ve had any, your judgment is clouded.”

He huffed, but I kept talking.

“You’re going to let me put guards on you. You will sign the contract I wrote up, take the money, and pay off your debt. Then I’m going to make sure those men never bother you again.”

“Why should I pay Benito if you’re going to kill him?” His eyes were filled with fear, but he was slowly stroking his cock with his hand.

“Oh baby, I love that you trust me to take care of things, but it’s always better to pay your debts and keep yourself honest.”

“Are you an honest man?”

“I’ll be honest with you. You’re mine, and I’m going to keep you.”

“Vito—”

“Tell me you understand the rules.”

He shook his head, and I pushed his hand away and took over working his cock.

“You need this, don’t you? You need to come. You want to know what it’s like to spill down my throat. I’ll let you fuck my face as hard as you want to, but only if you agree to my terms.”

“You’re really not going to walk away, are you?”

“Never.”

“Why me?”

“Because you were meant for me.”

“You can’t really believe that.”

“I do, and I’m going to make you believe it too.” I teased him with light strokes, barely gripping him. He tried to lift his hips, but I shoved them back down. He could break my hold if he really tried, but that wasn’t the game we were playing.

“I want you,” he looked surprised, as if the words had just slipped out.

“I know you do baby. Let yourself have what you want.”

“I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.”

“I’ve got good people behind me. The Marchesis never lose.”

He held my gaze for a few more moments. “All right, I agree. I’ll sign.”

“Excellent.” I let go of his hips, placing my hands on the sofa beside them. Then I leaned down, and I took him into my mouth, swallowing him all the way.

He cried out and lifted his hips, thrusting against me. His hands slid into my hair, and he gripped me tight, holding me against him. I couldn’t breathe. I was gagging around him, and I didn’t care. It was the most amazing thing I’d ever felt. He’d given in to me. He’d surrender to exactly what I wanted, and now I was going to give him everything he asked for.

ZEKE

Vito swallowed around me, and I groaned, pulling back enough to let him gasp for air. After a moment, I demanded, “More.” He let me take it, opening his mouth so I could thrust into him again and again.
