“Haven. Who are you to me?”

“The woman you never wanted.”

“True.” He snarls, shifting, now resting his full weight on me. “Now tell me the answer I’m seeking.”

“Your wife,” I weep as he fumbles around my blood sucking nerves, torturing me.

His hand slides down between my legs, piercing my thighs with the tips of his fingers, and roughly spreads my thighs. “Open for your husband, firefly.”

“You’re bleeding.” I cry out, feeling warm droplets fall onto my breasts. His bandage is soaked through, hanging on by a thread. “Stop. You’re bleeding. Let me help you,” I plead before he slams himself inside me. He holds his hips with a bruising force as he pins me to the mattress. “Demetri!” I scream his name, sobbing.

“That’s fucking right. I’m bleeding because you, my dear wife, fucking shot me. Now we bleed together.” He savagely rips the bandage from his chest with a growl. He thrusts into me with cruel strength. Red liquid seeps from his body, dripping onto mine as he moves above me with a strength he shouldn’t have. His hips pound against my body. Sweat drips from his forehead. His movements are jagged and rough, not smooth like the times before. Demetri is excellent at making love and flawless at his special brand of revenge.

He grunts with power and groans through his pain.

I’m in a state of hysterics. My head is spinning, my heart is exploding, and my body is about to ignite in a fire I’m not sure I’ll be able to handle. My hand goes to his back, welcoming his wrath as I dig my nails into his flesh. He hisses in pain as my nails dig deep valleys into his skin. The hand holding the bloodied bandage lifts and shoves it inside my mouth. I gag and fight the intrusion until he pins me with his hips and leer and silently demands I accept it. He releases the soiled gauze and moves his hand to my chest. He begins to smear his dripping blood over my prickled skin. With a bloody palm, he encloses it around my full breast and squeezes so hard, I see stars. His body begins to rock me through my cries and then I feel his mouth on my nipple as his fingers wrap around my neck. His teeth pierce the tender skin while his fingers do the same.

He thrusts inside of me. Rocking my body with a fluid motion that controls every feeling he allows my body to experience. My body explodes. My cry muffled by the bloody bandage blocking my air. I grab at him, pulling him to me as if my life depends on it. And it does. I become as stiff as a board, unable to move while my retribution orgasm rips through my body. With my mouth unable to close, Demetri takes advantage. He rips the bandage out from between my teeth and crashes his bloody lips against mine. He consumes my air and injects my body with more of his DNA. My thoughts become vacant, vanished are the fears of danger. I gaze up into his eyes, seeing a man behind the glare I realize I haven’t met before. He stops all movement and just hovers over me, rapidly breathing, inspecting me. His hand goes to my throat once again, his fingers curl around the tender skin. He slowly starts to rock my body as he holds my gaze. It’s a warning. I can see he is spent, exhaustion taking its toll. We’re locked into each other in a vulnerable moment. Tears slip from the corners of my eyes and form a river of sorrow for my actions.

“Demetri…” My body shakes, breaking down, squeezing his cock as I shatter again with regret.

“My firefly.” He stares directly into my eyes.

His breath is heavy, viciously panting, barely holding himself up while my channel grips and drains his cock. He releases my neck and drops his full weight on top of me. The warmth of his blood between us, connecting us, feels oddly comforting. He lowers his head to the crook of my neck, resting his forehead on my shoulder as he tries to collect himself.

“Baby,” I mutter. “I need to take care of you.” I tap at his good shoulder, now realizing it wasn’t his chest but his shoulder where the bullet speared through his skin.

A deep growl rumbles in his chest. He rolls off me and pulls me to straddle him with a strength he should not have. “Ride me, baby.” I stare down at him, unsure, and insecure. “Just fucking move, firefly. You can’t do anything wrong. Move until my fucking cum is coating your insides again. Let me see those eyes of yours glow like your nickname and it won’t take long.”

In this moment, I realize one thing. We are lovers, man and wife, consummated in a bloody mess of dual possession.

He grabs himself and my hip and lowers me down onto his thick shaft. I can’t help noticing the coating of my arousal on his cock as it flows down and soaks into his obsidian hair. I look back up at him, and with the first twist of my hips, it sinks in that he just called me something other than young pup or firefly. He called me baby, and I’m not sure I like it. His eyes shine up at me with arousal and pain at the highest level. I see something in them I have never seen before. Adoration. Our bodies are covered in our bodily fluids, and with what I think is pride in his eyes, I bear down on him with devotion as I worship his body with my own.

I’m so lost in the rhythm we are making together that the click of the door latch is heard but goes unregistered until I feel a strong presence behind me.

“Don’t stop on my account,” Luca leans against the adjacent wall to the door, watching. His arms are crossed over his chest, and there is a gleam in his eye.

My body slows its ministration on my husband, but I don’t stop. I unhurriedly ride him as I watch Luca’s relaxed position with curiosity. I turn back and look down at Demetri, shocked he hasn’t said anything. Waiting for his territorial wrath and demanding Luca leave. Instead, he does the opposite. His hand comes to my breast and plays with my nipple before saying, “Your choice. His job is done. He can stay and watch, or I can send him away.”

I look back over my shoulder, my chin brushing the rigid edge, watching Luca as my hips shift and grind down so far that the head of Demetri’s cock hits my cervix, filling my core with an ache that has me squeezing my inner muscles. I cry out in pleasure and delicious pain, throbbing for more. Demetri’s hands tighten on my hips when I turn back to him and start moving faster. I hold his gaze and shudder a question with a heavy breath. “You don’t care if another man sees me like this with you?”

“No, firefly. I don’t mind ifhesees your beautiful body. I don’t care ifhetouches your body, buthewill never enter this part of your body.” He jerks his hips. “And none of it will ever happen unless I permit it.”

“What about my permission? It’s my body,” I whisper, so confused at the turn of events happening.

“A curious mind I’ll allow to explore as your husband. Your curiosity is your blessing, and for me to protect that approval is with my permission.” He thrusts his hips up, meeting mine. My eyes widen then quickly shut at the sharp pressure. I’m drenched. I can hear how wet I am by the moisture making sounds between us as our bodies meet. When I open my eyes to reconnect with him, he growls, “But, firefly, I will be the only man who will see your eyes light with fire when you come. Understood?” He grabs my hands and places them on his bloody chest to brace myself. “Now ride me and make me come.”

“You’re bleeding very badly.”

“Then you better hurry the fuck up and ride me harder before I bleed out.”

ChapterThirty-Two

DEMETRI

Her head restson my bloody chest. My body is angry with discomfort, but I don’t want to move her just yet. Her index finger lazily doodles in my chest hair, drawing invisible pictures. In the silence between just the two of us I feel her soft touch move over my skin to my torn open wound. With the tip of her finger, I watch her draw a heart around the crater she put in my shoulder. I grimace and grind my molars, but when she connects the two sides, I lock onto her.

I can see she wants to say something. Almost as if she is compelled to, but she doesn’t want to ruin the moment. She turns slightly and seals the heart she just drew with a kiss. With her lips now painted red she looks me straight in the eyes and whispers, “I am so, so sorry.”
