But I already knew the answers to that.Lilithwas what was wrong with him. She’d messed up his head.
Because Cam went to her on his own in an attempt to reason with her.
He abandoned me to play hero.
Hedid this to himself.
No. Don’t think like that. Blaming?—
My vision spun as Cam roughly rolled us on the bed, causing my back to connect with the mattress. I barely had a moment to breathe before he slammed into me again, this time with even more strength and force than before.
I yelped as he bit my lip, the sting quickly replaced by his tongue.
And then he was devouring me. Owning me so severely with his mouth that all I could do was take it.
Just like my body was his to use.
The bed creaked with the movements, his hips beating into mine as his palm closed around my throat once more. His opposite hand was on my breast, squeezing my flesh and tweaking my nipples.
A moan left me without permission, this violent version of him taking me to heights I’d never known existed.
It was like being fucked for the first time, and not just by Cam.
He wasn’t gentle or coaxing. He was harsh and demanding.
I grabbed his shoulders and dug my nails into his skin, needing to mark him. Claim him. Leave something behind that saidmine.
Those blood virgins couldn’t have him.
There would be no replacing me.
Andfuckwhat Lilith had done to his mind.
This male belonged to me, and I would break through to him. I would find a way to remind him of us, our past, our promised future.
He might have made a fateful decision without me—one that had changed everything between us—but fuck if I would allow it to happen again.
I wasn’t the meek female of his past. I’d grown over the last one hundred years. And I would not sit by and wait for him to solve all of the world’s problems.
You. Will. Remember. Me.I etched those words into his mouth with my tongue while my nails drew blood.You. Are. Mine.
He snarked in response, his grasp on my throat tightening as he pulled back to stare down at me. “Fucking beautiful,” he hissed. “Come for me right now, little hellcat. I need to feel your cunt squeezing my shaft.”
Hellcatwas new. Just likelioness.
But I didn’t care.
Both sounded a lot more fierce than a swan.
If that was how this version of Cam saw me, then good. Because I wanted to be fierce. A force to be reckoned with.His mate.
This whole operation beneath the catacombs was going down. Lilith might be dead, but I’d be damned before I let her legacy survive.
“Now, Ismerelda,” he growled, his mouth going to my neck.
He thrust deep just as his fangs sank into my neck, the combination of sensations and forced endorphins sending me spiraling into a sea of dark bliss.
Rapturous waves flooded my veins, coercing me into a black whirlpool with no end in sight.
