Page 102 of King of Ruin

A woman of passion and respect. Of righteousness and honesty. My hands may forever be stained in the blood of the evil, but my heart is full with the promise and hope of those I’ve saved.

When I was a child, I always wondered how the Queen of Hearts became the way she was. Why she was so angry. I ran through many ideas. Many speculations. And while I’ll never truly have the answer to that question, I do know one thing.

Her blind rage, her perversions of logic, her entire essence wasn’t that of a monster. But of someone that was bound to fear. Ruled by it.

And with my family, with Kane, I will never again succumb to the depths of such turmoil. I will never be allowed to perish in my doubt.

With them, I willalwaysbelieve in the impossible.

“I’ll give you Walton Street if you give me Bordon,” I say through clenched teeth, my nerves on fire now.

Negotiating with Onyx has become, well, for lack of a better word, excruciating. She drives a hard bargain, and with her stubborn as hell mindset, it often takes us days to come to an agreement on something that should only take us an hour.

Merging the two sides will take time for a plethora of reasons, but most importantly, by doing it slower, we are reducing the risk of any unnecessary altercations within the ranks or possible accusations from nearby families of being a monopoly,

Who knew the mafia could become a monopoly? I sure as hell didn’t.

“Kane. You’re not getting Bordon. It’s too high traffic for either of us to occupy and you’re well aware of that fact.” Onyx tightens her grip on my jaw, forcing my face to the right as she leaves a trail of hot kisses down my throat.

I try to adjust, but the restraints don’t give enough leeway, and my wrists scream as I pull against them. But the pain mixes with a surge of blood traveling south, and I groan. “The girls at the club need more traffic. I took away too much of their money with my new rules.”

“Keeping your girls happy. I’m not sure if I should be proud or a little jealous.” I feel her smile against my chest as she works her way down.

Even though she’s messing with me, the thought of Onyx jealous makes my pulse soar, and my dick jerks in response.

“Patience, love,” she tsks, moving both her hands down to glide over my naked stomach.

Everywhere she touches turns to fire, and my body aches after having to endure thirty minutes of the constant back and forth. She’s touching and teasing all the places with multiple nerve endings, and my cock has never been harder.

“Let’s finish talks of new territory later,” I say, hating the way the low timbre in my voice conveys my want. This woman always wins when it comes to who caves first.

Her soft lips touch past the V of my hips and when her warm breath cascades over my erection, I can’t hold back the groan.

She smiles. It’s bright and beautiful and all the things that make me fall in love all over again, but right now, it pisses me off. “What could be more important thancomingto an agreement?”

A joke. Funny.

“Your mouth on my cock. Your pussy on my face.Somany things, baby.”

“Hmmm,” she hums, moving further down the bed and repositioning herself right between my thighs.

She peers up at me through her thick lashes and my dick fucking weeps at the sight.

“Ineedyou, Onyx. Please.”

“I never thought the sound of a man begging for my cunt would make me tingle as much as when they beg for death. Perhaps if you did it more, you’d find I can be quite generous.”

Her pink tongue makes an appearance as she wets the corner of her mouth and I hold my breath. Why I agreed to be tied to this bed is beyond me, but I know I’ve never regretted anything more.

“Please.” Did I just fucking whimper?

She smiles, triumph clear in her tone. “Tell me exactly what you want. Control my every movement, Kane.”

My nostrils flare as I soak in her words. Control without control. This woman is maddening.

“Lick me,” I grit through clenched teeth. “Base to tip, then back again. Then I want you to put those perfect lips around my cock and suck until your cheeks hollow out.”

She smirks before doing what she's told. “As you wish.”
