Page 100 of Perilous

My entire body throbs. This is the most intense orgasm I’ve ever had in my life. There are stars dancing in front of my eyes. I feel like my soul is about to climb from my body and rise up to the heavens and rest there for a little while.

I feel the devil’s hand upon my neck, bringing me back down to reality. Peri’s grip is fierce, commanding, and he has garnered every ounce of my attention.

“I saved you to make up for what I did,” he growls at me. “I killed an innocent woman and her son.”

Peri pulls me toward him for a kiss as my body starts to run cold. His hands move down to my hips and under to my ass. I’ve soaked myself to the point where my skin is slippery.

Peri lifts me up and tosses me off his cock as though I’m used up and he’s done with me. He moves to exit the bed and I leap for him.

I grab his right leg and watch as his impossibly hard cock stands so tall and beautiful, glistening with my cum.

“Please,” I beg him.

“Please, what?” Peri growls. “I’ve just ruined your fucking life again.”

“Tell me everything,” I whisper, feeling breathless.

Peri looks at me. He curls his lip.

I need to know. I have to know. I mean, I’ve known from the second I met him that Peri was an absolute psychopath. A violent man. A murderous man. Evil. Pure fucking evil.

“Fuck,” Peri whispers.

For a split second I detect vulnerability.

He then grabs my hair and makes me open my mouth so he can spit into it.

“You’ll never knowthe actual truths of the whole thing,” he says in some vague sentence. “I’m sure you can understand that.”

“I guess,” I whisper.

I’m face down on the bed, naked. Peri has his legs off the bed, back slightly toward me, his cock thick and erect, waiting for more attention.

“There’s power nobody can comprehend. Power. Control. Money. Much higher up than what you see in society. Everything in society is all designed the way it is. There are those who have a sense of power and those who crave it. It’s this war that keeps things moving. Where the fuck do I fit in? I don’t know, doll. What I do know is when orders are given, that’s where I step in. I handle things. That’s my job.”

He’s silent for a few seconds.

“I knew she had to die,” he says. “There was no escaping the fate that awaited her. She chose a man who defied theLegion. We all bear the scars of decisions, big and small. What I didn’t know was that there would be a kid involved. I knew nothing about this kid. Even if I had known…” He looks back at me. “What would have changed? The orders were given, Annika. Fates sealed. Decisions made. It was already over. I was serving a punishment for a defiance that technically wasn’t mine. Sometimes that’s how it goes. I’m not complaining. I did what I had to do. But something inside me broke. Something changed. Then I met you, doll. Well, notmet. You fucking stumbled across me handling someLegionbusiness. Instantly you should have been killed. I’ve been defying theLegionfor you from the moment I saw you. I guess in some fucked up way it worked out.”

I take it all in.

He’s not just akiller. He’s a…killer.Like…

“I had no choice,” Peri continues. “Do the job or I’m the one getting killed. Do what needs to be done. For theLegion. For the bigger picture. It’s what I’m here for. I’m not here to learn and get a job and worry about a fucking retirement account. That’s not me, Annika. I’m not here to have a family or plan a vacation.”

“But you feel something over it,” I whisper.

“Fuck what I feel.”

“You saved me. You found out the truth. I didn’t run and hide and accuse you of lying to me,Perilous.”

My heart races. I can’t believe this moment between us. A part of me feels like I should be protecting him now. Protecting him from whatever he’s thinking and feeling. It’s so raw and so… perfect.

“Don’t you get what I’m telling you?” Peri growls. “I only saved you and kept you alive as a way to sayfuck youto Luc. I only claimed you to sayfuck youlouder. That’s it. That’s fucking it!”

He grabs my hair and curls his lip again.
