“What do you want from me?”I ask, desperation creeping into my tone.
He chuckles darkly. “I think you know exactly what I want.”
One of his hands leaves my waist, trailing up my body. He gently grasps my chin, tilting my head to the side. I gasp as his lips meet the sensitive skin of my neck.
“We’re meant to be together, Lily,”he growls against my flesh. “I knew it from the moment I first saw you. Tell me you feel it, too.”
My treacherous body ignites at Cade’s touch, my skin burning everywhere he kisses me. But my mind recoils in fear.
“Please let me go,”I whimper, even as my legs threaten to give out. “I don’t want this.”
Cade laughs, the sound sending chills down my spine. “Oh, but you do. Your body betrays you.”His fingers trail down between my legs, brushing against my pussy through my panties.
I bite my lip to hold back a moan, ashamed at how my body is responding. This is so wrong but I’m helpless to stophim. Or myself.
His teeth graze my neck, and I gasp again. “Please...”I beg softly, though I’m unsure what I’m asking for.
His hand on my chin turns my head, bringing his lips crashing down on mine. I whimper into his devouring kiss, overwhelmed by dark desire.
“Mine,”he growls against my lips before claiming them again.

CADE
She lets me take her hand, lacing my fingers with hers to lead her away from the Ferris wheel toward the engineer’s tent, where we’ll be alone.
My playground is the perfect place to defile my angel.
“Where are we going?” Lily asks, her voice barely above a whisper as I lead her through the bustling carnival grounds.
I glance at her, unable to keep the smirk from spreading across my face. “It’s a surprise,” I reply cryptically, gently squeezing her hand.
She looks uncertain, her brows furrowing together in that adorable way they do when she’s worried. No doubt she’s thinking this is a bad idea, going off alone with a stranger who broke into her home and stalked her. If she only knew what I’ve imagined doing to her, the plans I’ve made...
But no, I can’t scare her off. I need to take this slow and gain her trust.
“Don’t worry,” I say in my most soothing voice. “I want to show you something. We’ll be quick, I promise.”
She still looks hesitant, so I stop and face her fully. I lift my other hand to cup her cheek, rubbing my thumb lightly over her bottom lip and making her tremble. Her breath catches at the contact, and it’s hard to stop myself from fucking her right here.
“Do you want me?” I ask, holding her gaze intently with mine.
“I shouldn’t,” she breathes, conflict in her eyes. “You’re a fucking psycho.”
I grab her throat firmly. “What did you call me?”
Fear ignites in her eyes. “You’ve basically spent the last few days stalking me.”
It’s true. But Lily doesn’t realize it’s because we belong together. She has been mine since the moment I set eyes on her. “Come on,”I say, releasing her throat and grabbing her hand again, dragging her toward the tent.
She follows without protest as I lead her between two concession stands toward the back of the carnival. We’re getting close now, the crowd’s noise fading behind us.
My pulse quickens in anticipation. Soon, I’ll havemy angelall to myself. No more waiting, no more watching from a distance. She’ll be mine completely, to do with as I please.
I glance back again, noticing Lilylooks nervous but keeps pace,herfingers tightening around mine. Little does she know she’s clutching onto the hand of a monster who will devour her whole. Or perhaps she does know that and is too ensnared in my trap to care.
I lead Lily into the empty engineer’s tent, the familiar smell of motor oil and gasoline filling my nose. It’s dimly lit, with random tools and machine parts scattered on the floor haphazardly.
