I settled.
“Mmhmm,” he wordlessly praised.
One of his shadows roamed my body, encircling a nipple before squeezing. Before I could yelp, Kylo’s hand was over my mouth, muffling the sound.
And when a second shadow slipped under my panties, cutting them clean off, I was utterly still. It was soft and solid when it met my clit, vibrating softly.
I began to grind, arching my hips to meet the intoxicating sensation.
“There’s my good girl,” Kylo purred.
And damn him, the praise was a stronger drug than resisting him. He was right, but I didn’t want to admit it.
I wasn’t a brat, at my core. I just couldn’t let him off the hook so easily for breaking my trust, for crushing my heart.
For forcing me to believe our connection wasn’t written in the stars.
His cock pressed harder against me, Kylo’s hips grinding the same as mine.
I was snug against him. And it felt safe, to be this close and tightly held. His fangs skated across my neck, and I tilted my head to give him easier access.
Kylo didn’t hesitate, a feral, possessive noise crashing through him from deep inside his throat. He sank his fangs into my flesh and sucked.
He gripped me tight enough to leave bruises, and I didn’t make a sound. Only one long, relieved sigh. A shadow plungedinside me, and I exploded in a sweeping orgasm that brushed the cosmos.
After an eternity of ecstasy, Kylo’s tongue closed up the wound as his venom coursed inside me.
“That’s it, angel,” Kylo said, his voice filling the entire room with its power.
I hung on his every word like he was my God. Waiting, listening, melting.
“Show me how much you don’t forgive me.”
He moved me gently now, ever so careful with his good little doll. I stared up at him with hooded eyes as he loomed over me, between my spread thighs. His cock sprung free, as large and frightening as always.
“You, covered in enemy blood and staring at my cock with rapt captivation and fear, is my new favorite sight.” His grin slowly spread as he squeezed both my breasts beneath the fabric. “Deep breaths. You’ll warm up to me soon. We’ll just need to be more consistent.”
My eyes rolled back the moment his cock impaled me. My brows drew close, but it was easy to relax when I was venom drunk and hooked on Kylo’s praise.
“Eyes on me, angel,” he commanded.
Kylo’s jaw was tight, his gaze fiery. A shadow curled around my throat.
He gripped my cheeks between his thumb and forefinger. “I’m getting you a fucking collar.”
My eyes widened, but I only reached for him, tugging his head closer to mine.
Kylo smiled. He happily acquiesced, lips melding with mine softly at first before becoming just as violent. His body jerked, and he buried himself deeper. My legs shook. His tongue conquered my mouth, tasting me as desperately as I tasted him.
He drove into me, hitting my cervix and drawing a scream from my lips despite the delirious haze of vampire venom.
He pulled back an inch. He didn’t adjust his pace, only driving deeper as I lost myself to the painful, delicious intensity.
“Iwasstarving for you, you vengeful little creature,” Kylo admitted with a deep frown. “You were deeply upset before you ran, and you wouldn’t tell me why. So I didn’t feed from you. It didn’t feel right. I knew you didn’t want it. But I also couldn’t stomach the blood of another, even if it was a faceless, connectionless chalice of blood.”
I was lost in those pools of blue. His thrusts were slower. They landed so deep inside me that I had no hope of ever being free of him. My body only opened up, allowing Kylo as much access as he wanted.
“It was horribly irresponsible. I must keep myself fed to keep you safe—to keep all of Etherdale safe. But I only wantyou.I am only addicted toyou.I force myself to stomach unappealing blood so I don’t hurt you. But if it were up to me, I’d spend an exorbitant amount of money to keep you on blood replenishing potion and never drink any blood but yours until the day we die.”
