"Then make me stay," I challenge him.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

"You haveno idea what you're asking of me. I gave you room to grow, but you're still too young for me."

"What do you mean by ‘gave me room to grow’?”

"I've never been far from you."

She swallows hard, and I think she finally understands the extent of my obsession. "I don't want another man. It can never be anyone else."

I hold her head, my hand in a tight grip on the back of her neck. "I will take everything from you."

"Do it, Ares. I want to be yours."

"Fuck!"

There's passion and fury when I kiss her now.

The agony of waiting.

Hunger.

Forced containment.

I walk Serenity out of the apartment.

"Where are we going?" she asks against my lips.

"To my house. You want to dive into my world? Let's do it right."

The only time there is any distance between us is when I open the door.

As soon as I close it behind us, after I enter with her in my arms, I take her mouth again.

In the bedroom, I stand her up, pressing her against the wall, but the height difference between us makes it impossible. Impatient, starving, I get rid of my suit blazer and dress shirt. I know I lose some buttons along the way. I throw them both at our feet and advance towards her.

Serenity is watching me with her chest heaving.

"You will never run away from me again," I repeat.

"I like being hunted. I like everything about you, and maybe I'm crazy for feeling this way."

I pick her up and hold her between my body and the wall, making her tilt her head back. "You shouldn't tell me those things, Serenity. I want to devour you whole."

I take turns kissing her mouth and her neck. The caresses are urgent, greedy, where teeth and tongue want to taste, suck, bite, mark.

Yes, I want my mark on her. I like seeing the smooth skin on her neck with soft welts from my beard.

She looks at me with doll eyes only partially open, clouded with passion.

Holding her neck with both hands, I force myself to go easier on my virgin. I slide my fingers over her shoulder, lowering one strap of her dress. I bite her there, where it meets with her neck, leaving another clue in her flesh that she is mine.

I undo the buttons as my mouth searches hers again. When I complete the task, Serenity takes my hands and I stop, waiting.

"Tell me you don't want this," I say.
