When I remained silent, he pushed his fingers into my hair and yanked me to my feet. I bit my lip to stifle the scream that built at the back of my throat with the sudden burst of pain.

Ryker shoved me into the trunk of a tree, the bark biting into my flesh despite the layers that protected me. When my gaze clashed with his, obsidian eyes glared at me.

“Take off your clothes,” he demanded.

“No!” I said, and jutted my chin out in defiance.

“You either remove them yourself, Cadence, or I tear them from your body and force you to walk back to the palace in your skin.”

I gulped, knowing that Ryker meant every word, but needing to push him anyway.

“People will see me. I thought only you got to gaze upon my perfect skin,” I taunted, throwing his own words back at him.

I arched an eyebrow to emphasize the challenge I was laying at his feet. A cruel grin twisted his mouth, and I knew I had made a fatal over calculation.

“They would,” he purred. “And as a result, I’d be forced to rip their eyes from their sockets.”

He raised a brow just as I had, mocking me.

I didn’t question whether he was serious. It was written all over his face.

With trembling hands, I unfastened the hook of my cloak, allowing it to pool at my feet. Next, I reached around and untied the ribbon of my dress before pulling it down my arms.

The biting cold wind kissed my nipples, and I shivered.

“All the way down,” Ryker commanded, and I narrowed my eyes at him.

I slid the fabric over my hips and let it fall to the forest floor. Stepping out of it, I kicked off my boots and nudged them to the side. Ryker gave me a pointed look, and I huffed before discarding my panties.

Naked, I stood before him, vulnerable and exposed.

He curled a finger at me, signaling for me to move closer. As I did, I couldn’t deny the bolt of anticipation that coursed through me and settled between my thighs.

Ryker studied me for a long moment before he prowled around me in a wide circle, assessing me as though I were a pieceof prized livestock. Once he was done, he planted his feet right in front of me and crossed his arms over his bare chest.

He didn’t speak as he placed a firm hand on top of my head and forced me to kneel. He peered down at me reverently, stroking my cheek with his thumb.

“You look so pretty on your knees for me, Cadence.”

It was a strange contrast, having this vicious-looking man with his eyes as black as night touch me so tenderly. Yet, the dangerous glint in his gaze had me swallowing hard.

Ryker unbuckled his belt, slipping the leather free, as he crouched down in front of me. I thought he was going to fasten it around my throat as he had done before, but he leaned behind me and secured my hands in a tight knot at the base of my spine. I resisted the urge to test my restraints, not wanting to give him any hint of my discomfort.

Ryker stood as he slipped his hand beneath his trousers and released his massive cock. I stared at it eagerly, licking my lips before I could stop myself. Ryker didn’t have to command me to open for him. I did it willingly. The underside of his cock slid against my tongue, and he groaned.

“Your mouth feels so good, Cadence,” he rasped above me.

Encouraged by his reaction, I closed my mouth around his length and sucked in earnest. My head bobbed up and down as I tasted every inch of him. Pressure built between my thighs, and I rubbed them together to ease the tension.

Then Ryker ripped himself away from me before he leaned down and wrenched my legs apart. I whimpered at the loss of friction, and he smiled.

“This isn’t for your pleasure, Cadence. It’s a punishment. You won’t come until I say you can.”

Before I could respond, Ryker shoved his cock between my lips and gripped either side of my head as he fucked my mouth without mercy.

“You think you can disobey me without consequence? You think you can put yourself in danger whenever the desire takes you.”

He thrust deep into my mouth until the tip of his cock hit the back of my throat. I choked around him, but Ryker didn’t ease up.
