I thought he would feed me his cock. Instead, he knelt before me, taking my chin in his palm. He forced my lips open with his fingers. I sucked them for all I was worth.
“I love you,” he whispered.
No. Not that. I could be anything but that. My heart hammered behind my breasts.
“I’ll die a thousand deaths for you if that’s what it takes.”
“No,” I said. “I’ve never wanted that.”
He gave me a sad smile. “It would be easier. A mercy you could give me.”
“Please.”
“Do you know how fucking sexy you look right now? Your ass in the air like that? Dripping for me? Ready to submit. Ready to let me fuck you in every way you can be fucked. I want to own you.”
“Yes!”
“Not just here,” he said. He moved around me, quick as lightning. He slid a knee between my legs, spreading me even wider. I struggled to keep from tipping forward. He reached around and pinched my nipple.
“I don’t just want your body, Tempest. I want all of you.”
“You’ve had it,” I said. “Damn you. You’ve had my fucking soul, Anson.”
“No,” he said. “You’ve only just had mine.”
He was right. He’d come into me. Haunted my dreams. But it had never been the other way around. I’d guarded my thoughts from him. Held back. He came back around, going on all fours in front of me, meeting me eye to eye.
“Anson, please,” I said. “I want your mark.”
His eyes went wide. Of all the things I could have said, he hadn’t expected that.
“Do it,” I said.
“You don’t want it. Not really.”
“I do,” I said.
I launched myself at him, toppling him backward. I landed on his chest, straddling him. I pummeled him with my fists. “I want it. You’ve made me want it.”
He went stone still. His hands went up, gripping my ass. Then he pulled me down, impaling me on him.
“Yes!” I threw my head back and saw stars. My orgasm exploded out of me the instant he entered me. I’d wanted him that badly. Instinct took over. I leaned forward and bit his shoulder. Anson howled in pleasure and pain.
His blood. His secret. An electrical charge went through me.
Then…I felt a wall crumble between us. He came into my mind as he came into my body. Not his mark, but he shared something I’d never asked him for before. A new truth. It had been there between us all along.
As we rutted like beasts on the shores of Wild Lake, I had the answer I’d sought. One I’d been too afraid to face.
Anson was the key. Yes. But so was I. And now I knew what I had to do.
Chapter Fourteen
Anson was beautiful as he slept. Peaceful. In that dream space, all traces of X were gone. His scars faded to almost nothing. I could have believed he was only an angel. The devil inside of him captured, collared, tucked away.
Desire stirred within me. He knew. He had always known. It was the devil I craved.
I kissed him. Stroked him. Felt new heat at the base of my neck. I wanted so badly to let him mark me. Maybe it would have been the safest course. He’d given me a key, but maybe only with his mark could I finally unlock this last door.
