“They’re infused with your scent. I couldn’t exactly sleep in your bed during the day,” I mutter.
She turns around, her eyes bright. “Is this where we’ll sleep until we’ve fixed things with my mom?”
My brows rise. “I thought you found this space creepy.”
“This is a palace compared to the catacombs, and I’d sleep easier knowing that X-Cite Media won’t reach me down here.”
Claws of guilt twang at my heartstrings. No woman of mine should ever feel fear for anyone other than me. Those murdering bastards and their snuff movies are distracting my little ghost.
Cupping her cheek, I gaze into her green eyes. Her pupils are so wide that her irises are rings of emerald flames.
“I would raze the entire city to ashes if it meant keeping you safe,” I say, meaning each fucking word. “But first, I need to gather every lowlife who wants to do you harm.”
“You’ll let me watch them burn,” she says, her voice breathy.
“I would hand you the canister of gasoline and let you cleanse their sins in an almighty blaze. And I’ll sacrifice those motherfuckers as an offering to my dark queen.”
Her eyes widen. “Me?”
“Are there any other goddesses in the room?”
She backs toward the bed, her chest heaving. I advance on Amethyst, already picturing her bound and naked.
“You have two choices,” I say. “You can strip for me and kneel for me on the bed, or I’ll slice through your clothes and throw you into position.”
“Wait. Why?” she says, her cheeks darkening.
“You’re about to learn how to break through zip ties.”
“And I need to be naked for that?”
“No. I need you to be naked so I can punish you for failure.”
She shivers, her fingers drifting to the zip of her hoodie. “What kind of punishment?”
“Edging.”
“Shit.”
I chuckle, already knowing how much she hates to be sexually frustrated. “You have a countdown from five to strip. Anything left on your body will be sliced off, and I won’t let you come. Five.”
“Wait!”
She tears off her hoodie without even pulling on its zipper. The garment falls to the concrete floor.
“Four.”
“That’s not even fair.”
She kicks off her boots, yanks down her panties and leggings in a single motion, and leaves them in a puddle of fabric. Her movements are frantic and clumsy, but then everything about her is endearing.
My gaze drops to her round ass, which only shows the barest traces of red from her spanking, and all the blood in my head rushes south.
“Three,” I mutter, my voice thickening with desire.
Her sports bra and tank top come off next, revealing her belly and perky breasts topped with pink nipples that are already erect. Goosebumps rise as a draft caresses her skin.
My breath hitches. My hands itch to touch her exposed flesh, but I hold back, wanting to savor the anticipation. I never thought Amethyst would be so eager to get naked for me. It’s like witnessing the birth of a goddess.
