My fear is building slowly into full-blown horror. “You said you’ve removed the bond.”
“I did. This is all me,” he says with a hollow smile.
Gone is the kind man I know, replaced by this soulless monster.
“Take me back.” I put my hands on his chest to push him away, but he is far stronger than me.
Oh gods… what do I do?
I touch his beautiful face, the same way he did to me yesterday. “Come back to me, Svenn.”
It proves to be a terrible mistake.
He kisses the inside of my wrist, his eyes growing wild. “I had a conversation with the bond and he told me something interesting.”
“You talk with your bond?” I say, startled.
He nods briefly.
“Right before I cut him off from me. The fucker has a theory.” He skims my lower lip with his thumb.
I still at the touch. “What are you doing?”
His eyes flicker. “Glad to see this mouth is working.”
Of course, it is,I almost say.
He brackets my jaw in his hand, forcing me to look up at him. “Now pay attention, sweetheart.”
He leans in to whisper, his teeth raking against the sensitive skin just below my ear. “I’m going to count down to ten, and you’ll tell me what you really want.”
My heart is pounding in my chest.
“If you say you want to go back to that shithole in Windhaven before the countdown ends, I’ll take you,” he says quietly.
Hope sparks in my chest. “You will?”
“Just say the words,” he promises. “But if you do that, you will never see me again.”
I blink at him.
“We’ll go our separate ways. I’ll remove myself from your life forever,” he continues his cruel bargain. “I will never return. Unless, of course, you use the Rhunhraefn to enslave me.”
“I’m not going to use the curse!” Anger burns in my gut as I stare at him.
A crooked grin flashes on his face. “Then this should be easy.”
His mouth travels from my temple to my neck. I suck in a startled breath, swaying on my feet.
“Ten.” Svenn begins his cruel countdown. He tugs my nightgown, easing it down to free my breast.
Cold air slaps against my bare skin and my nipples pucker in response. A feral groan leaves him with a dark whisper of, “Nine.”
His mouth closes in on my breast and my body lights up like the fireworks in Merafall. A sigh spills from my lips when his tongue swirls around my nipple. Every nerve in my body sparks to life at the sensation, humming with need.
“Your voice has changed… What’s wrong, Nel?” he asks. I shiver at the feel of his breath skating on my skin, his other hand is toying with my other breast skillfully, tugging the sensitive bud.
He knows exactly what he’s doing to me.
