I quivered at the darkness of his words, suddenly wondering if I’d just made the biggest mistake of my life. But as his fingers wrapped around mine, I realized I had no choice.
Those were the rules.
Once an arrangement was struck, I could no longer negotiate.
And I’d just given him complete control with a few meager words of acceptance.
He pressed his watch to my cuff, his lips forming a predatory grin. “You’re mine now, little siren.”

This was notpart of the plan.
Alas, Kailiani wanted to play. So, we’d play.
However, I didn’t believe this innocent act for a second.
No, she had something nefarious planned, just like the day she’d escaped me. And I couldn’t wait to beat her at her own game.
Because I would not lose again.
Even if it meant fucking the truth out of her, something I’d enjoy since her body and heart were both owed to me. A deal struck generations ago, destroyed by her defiance.
Well, I had her now. And punishment would be served.
“I can think of worse punishments than having to kneel for you.”
Mmm, that sassy little comment had hardened my cock instantly. Fuck, just being near her again aroused me more than anyone or anything else had in the last millennium of my existence.
Which, of course, only made me hate her more.
That didn’t mean I wouldn’t take her first. It was my due, after all, and the dilation of her pupils said she wanted it, too.
Damn.
This was not how I’d anticipated our first reunion to go after all this time. I’d expected her to run, had even looked forward to the chase. Yet, she’d quite literally fallen at my feet, or had readily volunteered to.
Now it was time to see if she’d meant it.
With my palm against her exposed lower back, I guided her toward the two humans guarding the hallway of bedrooms. This whole new era of technology on Earth pleased me because it meant I didn’t have to degrade myself by speaking to these unworthy creatures. I merely held out my watch, one of them scanned it, and the other escorted us to a room.
Brilliant.
Kailiani shivered as the door closed behind me, her big brown eyes sliding to the ground in a beautiful display of submission. How far would she take the act? Would she go as far as to allow me to fuck her? Or would she break before I had the chance?
The notion of it fluttered over my skin, exciting my nerves.
Oh, I wanted to test these boundaries, find out how far I could push before she caved.
“Remove the dress,” I said, not bothering to waste any time. We only had ninety minutes, and I required all of them to win this little battle of wills.
Uncertainty lined her shoulders, confusing me. As a siren, nudity shouldn’t bother her in the slightest. She spent most of her life naked in the waves. Although, oddly, I couldn’t scent the ocean on her.
When was the last time you went for a swim?I wanted to ask. Most of her kind couldn’t stand to be on land for too long. They craved the sea, much as I did.
“Is there a problem?” I demanded.
