I pin my gaze to hers. “Next time you feel the urge to come, you find me.”

A sharp inhale shudders through her. “Next time?”

“There will be a next time, Princess.” When her brows furrow and she hesitates, I know there are some things I need to clarify with her so there is no confusion later. “The bet is off.”

Her eyes widen. “Off?”

“Off,” I confirm.

She tries to push at my chest, tries to push me away, but I’m immovable and she gives up quick. I don’t miss the flash of fear in her eyes, though, as she stares up at me. “The bet is off because I let you make me come?”

“Yep.” I don’t bother telling her the bet has been off since the pool party. She’s been mine since I realized she hasn’t been feeding me lies.

I received my mother’s will that same night. After Ian saw I cared for Olympia, really cared, I had a copy of the original will in my inbox. He’d held out on me until he’d been certain I’d do right by Olympia. Fucker.

I should be pissed at him. But I’m grateful instead.

If I’d gotten the will, I’d have tossed her out.

If I’d tossed her out, I would never have gotten the chance to taste her.

She wouldn’t be mine.

My heart slams in my chest at the thought of her belonging to another man, and I can’t help myself as I go in for another bruising kiss. I’m trying to leave my mark on her. On her soul.

She sucks in air when I finally pull back again. I want to devour her. All of her.

Her brows furrow as she studies me above her. “You keep kissing me.”

Damn right. Fucking addictive. Tastes like apples and sin.

“You don’t like it?”

She wets her lips. I want to taste her again.

“I didn’t say that.”

“Talk to me, Olympia.”

“You say the bet is off? What does that mean?”

“It means you’re mine.”

Her eyes widen. “You’re not kicking me out?”

My head jerks back an inch. “Fuck, no.”

“But—” She shifts beneath me, and my dick gets ideas. She huffs, “I’m so confused.”

“It means from now on, your ass is in my bed at night.” I feel my eyes darken on her as a primitive, primal part of me flares. “It means I’m going to sully you, wreck and ruin you for any other man. I’m going to do this, Princess, because there will never be another man for you. I’m it. Until your last breath.”

The little temptress narrows her eyes. “What if that’s not what I want?”

“It sound like I’m giving you a choice?” I smirk when she gasps, continuing, “You don’t want a choice, Princess. You want me like I want you. You fucking love me.”

I say the last flippantly, but she shocks me shitless when she admits, “I did. I’ve been in love with you for years. Until the night I arrived here. That’s when I started to fall out of love with you.”

That stings. With both hands on either side of her face, my eyes boring into hers, I vow, “I’ll make you fall for me again, Olympia. I’ll make you fall so hard; you’ll never stop again.”
