Her dark gaze warms the longer I stare, her pupils dilating.
“N-Nico,” she chokes, “Let me go!”
Her eyelids slump and her body relaxes when I don’t let go.
“But you’re so pretty with my hand around your neck, Angel.” I tilt her head back to give myself better access to her mouth. “I wonder what our parents would say if they knew this is how you like to get to know your stepbrothers.”
I brush my lips against hers, smiling as I feel her mouth open on instinct.
She wants this. Me. Us. But I won’t give her what she wants.
Not yet.
She sinks her teeth into my lower lip and bites down, only releasing me when I squeeze harder. It hurts, but it only makes me want her more. If she wants to play rough, I am more than ready to do that.
“Don’t start games you aren’t prepared to finish, princess,” I warn her. The coppery taste of blood fills my mouth as I suck on my injured lip.
“You won’t say anything,” she gasps, her voice barely audible.
I laugh, but I don’t want to be cruel. Not entirely. “I won’t… for a price.”
“What do you want?” Her eyelashes flutter, the only movement she can make.
What do I want?
I let her question reverberate between us, choosing to kiss my way down her neck instead of responding. Her skin feels good against my lips. Where do I begin? I want it all. I want everything. Her body. Her heart. Her soul. I want to own her the way I own everything this family name has given me. It’s only right that she belongs to me. The universe agrees or else she wouldn’t have shown up at my door.
“Nico,” she gasps.
I take her skin between my teeth and pull. I love the way my name sounds coming from her mouth.
She groans and her body trembles against mine. Goosebumps pop out on her skin as I touch her. My hold on her neck seems to be the only thing helping keep her upright.
“I hate you,” she mumbles, leaning into me. “Liar,” I whisper, my breath hot against her ear.
She shivers again.
I alternate soft kisses with sharp bites and she fucking melts into me. All that fight, gone from her body in an instant.
At least for now. I grin against her skin.
“If I do this favor for you, princess,” I whisper, “I want something in return.”
“I’m not doing a damn thing for you,” she whispers fiercely.
Approval rumbles in my chest. I love that she fights me. I want to see how far I can push her, but I can already feel my control starting to slip. Reluctantly, I let her go.
It’s too hard to be close to her and think. Or speak. As badly as I want to spend the rest of the day enjoying her body, there is work that needs to be done.
I sigh. She glares at me and I already miss the way our bodies were pressed together.
How can I crave my angel like this so much, already?
There will be time, I remind myself. All the time in the world. But only if I keep my head right.
I don’t get the privilege of being kept away in this castle.
“Angel,” I say. “Be good.”
