Page 119 of Wrath of the Fae

I see his Fae ears. His muscled body. He sees me looking and steps closer, pressing himself against me fully and releasing a lust-filled moan. It disgusts me. And when he starts kissing my neck, I go savage, kicking and biting at anything I can reach.

He gets me under his control quickly with a final squeeze to my wrist, snapping it. I scream as he nudges between my legs and kicks them apart, laughing again. Such a deep laugh that rattles through me.

‘Oh, I missed this,’ he moans in my ear.

‘You’re dead,’ I snarl, trying to move away from him as he runs his tongue up my neck. ‘I killed you.’

‘You cut off my face,’ he corrects between his repulsive kisses. ‘Lucky for me, Ivan Walker possesses the very rare and useful gift to heal.’ He grinds against me. ‘I have your fucker of a Mate to thank for that.’ He lifts his face from my neck and focuses on my lips. ‘I also have strength from a little Fae girl we shipped off a year ago back to Ivan. So I’m as strong as you are, too.’ He slams me against the bedpost to prove his point, winding me and making the bed move several inches. ‘And Ivan changed my ears, also by using Reid’s gifts of changing appearance, so I would look like you lot. I bet Reid misses those powers something terrible. I wonder if he misses them as much as he missed you.’

‘Why are you here?’ I gasp. ‘Pretending to be Fae?’

‘My dear sweet little Raven. Why the fuck would I tell you that? I will tell you something, though. You have always belonged to me. Ever since you were a child. When I first saw you all those years ago. I knew you belonged to me.’

‘I belong to no one.’

‘You belong to me. And now I have you back, I will never let you go.’

‘When I tell the others who you are… that you’re a fucking human-’

‘My love, you won’t be saying shit to anyone.’ He digs his erection between my legs. ‘I’m tempted to have your tongue cut out, Just like I do with the humans your daddy sends here. The ones he finds too tiresome to deal with back home and to seem an ally to Fae by providing slaves and toys for their amusement. But luckily for you, I enjoy your tongue far too much to ever have it cut out.’ He lands a hard kiss on my lips. When he pulls away, I spit at him.

So he punches me in my stomach with all his stolen strength.

My head lulls, and I fail to hold my weight. The chain strangles me, so he wraps his arms around me, keeping me up.

‘When the portals died, when our arch shattered in the courtyard, I did something I have never done before.’

‘I don’t care,’ I groan, utterly winded.

‘I cried,’ Jonah whispers in my ear. ‘I thought that was it. You were actually gone. Strange, but every time I stood by that portal, I felt like you were there. Like you were still with me. When I passed through it, I could feel you.’ He lowers me to the floor so I’m sitting. The chain is still around my neck, and he crouches, taking my face in his hands. ‘I love you. I’ve never loved anyone. Not one single person or thing. But you… my Raven… I love you. And I know you can sense lies. I know-’

‘The fact you actually love me makes me sick,’ I reply, my words slurring a little as I slowly blink to keep him in focus. ‘The idea of you loving me makes me want to die. No. Wait. It makes me want to laugh. You pathetic, disgusting, embarrassing and inadequate little man.’ I laugh hard. I force it out with as much malice as possible and relish in the pain it causes him. ‘I’m the Fae queen. You were beneath me when I was a street rat. You’re a piece of shit, even by human standards. The fact that you love me, actually love me, is embarrassing.’

‘I’m going to fuck you in ways you never thought possible.’

‘So what else is new? Fuck me all you want. But the only way I have ever been close to finding satisfaction with you was when you compelled me to find it my fucking self. Maybe talk to my men. They know how to please a woman. Believe me.’

Every muscle in his body is tensed and twitching with rage. I should shut up. But I know that’s not gonna happen. Seeing him unravel is my only weapon.

‘Pleasing you has never been, and will never be, what gets me hard. Your tears. Your screams. Your broken body. That’s what gets me as hard as a fucking rock.’

‘They’ll find out. You’re nothing but Ivan’s lap dog,

‘The real King is dead. And funnily enough, no one has even noticed. Not even Reid. He sat beside me and shared a bottle of wine with the man who spent over a decade forcing the love of his life on her knees to suck my dick through tears and wretches. Oh… it has been a good year for me.’

My hatred for this man… I never knew I could hate so profoundly.

‘We killed the real Fae King, and I was placed here in his stead. And everything I do weakens your world and strengthens mine. Your throne is Ivan’s gift to me. I’m the son he wishes he had. We’re like brother and sister. Shall I call you sister?’

His hand runs down my body and over my breast.

‘You’re… disgusting…’

‘Your father has gifted me your Kingdom,Sister. I am your King now. Your throne is mine. Your people are mine. And now, your body is mine. Again. Until the time comes.’

‘What… time?’

‘We’ve built quite the army over there. I’ve sent thousands of Fae to him. Offered him countless powers. His Dark Fae army is beyond your wildest imagination.’
