He flips me over and my head smacks the floor.

“Let me eat it for you,” I growl just before he hits me again. I’ve never felt more alive than I do right now. Having Alex unravel is a drug I need in my system. “Give it to me.”

He uses all his body weight to pin me down. I don’t even fight it.

“Give it all to me, Alex.” My hand thrusts out and grips his throat. “I want it.”

He’s a maniac. Uncoordinated and quick. I can’t keep up with how fast he’s fighting me, so I don’t engage. My submission is my consent.

I don’t scramble away when he flips me over.

I don’t yell when he kicks my legs apart.

Staring at the camera, then at Sophie, I brace myself for anything. A smile tears across my face when he spits on my asshole.

“That’s it. Take me, Alex.”

My victory is short-lived once he screams with the head of his dick pressed hard against me, threatening to go in. He thinks he’s a monster for wanting to fuck this way. He’s forcing himself onto me.

“I want this,” I say over my shoulder, hoping it’ll encourage him to push. “Do you?”

He’s shaking like a leaf. Holding my hip with one hand, the other is down by my thigh, Vault’s trembling so hard I almost call Red. But this primal, unhinged moment between us is necessary.

He’d never act like this with a woman.

And Sophie might have healed some of his trauma, but I’m at the root of it.

I’m at the motherfucking bottom.

I scramble away, making him have to fight for it. Vault gives chase and snags my leg, dragging me back to him.Good. I kick him in the chest. He grunts from the impact, and I manage to get away a second time, but I’m not moving fast. I want him to catch me.

He pins me down again and smashes my face against the floor. “Staydown.”

“Or what?” I heave upwards to try to knock him off me.

“Or this.” Pressing my chest flat on the floor, he spreads my legs and shoves the crown of his cock into me. “You fucking want me to punish you?”

I groan when he shoves into me a little more.

Holy shit. “Yes.”

“Tell me to stop,” he barks, easing into me further. “Tell me to fucking stop, Knox!”

My mouth stays shut.

He bottoms out, stealing the breath from my lungs, and it’s as painful as it is sweet.

Vault fucks me like an animal. He screams and claws at me. If I try to get up, he shoves me back down. If I groan, he fucks me harder.

“Give… it… all… to… me,” I grunt between his thrusts. His dick was still wet from Sophie. It’s not enough, but it’s all we’re working with.

“I’m hurting you,” he says, but doesn’t stop. “What color are you?”

“Green.” I’m seeing stars. He’s jack hammering into me. I haven’t been prepped properly, but my body wants this too badly to say any other color.

Alex pulls out instantly and flips me onto my back. The room is spinning. “God damn you, Knox.” He slaps me across the face. “God. Fucking. Damnyou.” He smashes his mouth to mine and whatever pain I felt ten seconds ago fades.

He’s nearly flush against me, and I lace our hands together as I kiss him back. Once the chaos settles, all that’s left is our thumping hearts.
