This was it. Pax had been right the entire time. Our souls were binding together, never to be separated.

I didn’t notice a difference in how I felt about her. Maybe it was because I already loved her. I would do whatever I fucking needed to keep her alive. Her happiness and freedom had been my priority for months.

“Do you feel it, Kali?” I murmured in a low voice.

Her small smile proved she remembered that question. It was the same thing I’d asked her the first night we slept together. Back when she refused to reveal any kind of feelings toward me.

“Yes,” she admitted in a whisper. “I feel it.”

“Look at that,” I mused, a grin tipping my lips. “Your answer is very different from the last time I asked you that.”

“Last time, you were still a Kane vampire who kidnapped me,” she shot back, her voice teasing.

“Undo these.” I rattled the chains impatiently. “Our bond broke the entrancement, and I’m more than ready to fucking touch you.”

Her eyes flashed with amusement as she threw me a sinful smile. “I don’t have the keys. Looks like I’m still in charge.”

I was still rock hard inside her, and when she moved again, pleasure ricocheted through me, a far cry from the pain I’d been feeling. I wrenched in the cuffs, annoyance flooding through me. I was free to do what I wanted—which was to have my hands all over her.

She leaned down, still bouncing on my cock, her lips meeting mine. I chuckled against her mouth when she pushed her tongue into mine. She was still trying to control this, and while I was amused, I was ready to make her scream.

I yanked my arms, hearing metal twist. Kali’s eyes darted to my restrained arms in surprise, and I shot her a heated smirk when I pulled again, using all my strength. I’d been attempting to hold back when I was entranced, because I hadn’t wanted tobreak free, but that wasn’t an issue now. The chains finally gave and snapped, leaving the cuffs locked around my wrists. Kali let out a shriek when I grabbed her hips, lifting her off me.

She went for my arm, but I was already flipping her under me, making her land on her stomach. Before she could crawl away, I snatched her wrists, holding them at the base of her spine with one hand. With my other, I grasped her hip, pulling her ass into the air. She cursed into the mattress before tilting her head to the side.

“Who’s in control now?” I asked smugly. “You teased me earlier, putting this right in my face.” I rubbed my thumb over her ass, while keeping a grip on her hip to keep her from going anywhere.

I didn’t need to see her face to know my words were getting to her. Even if we were bonded, she would never stop challenging me—and I never wanted her to. Her struggles to free herself intensified, and my hold on her wrists began to slip. Letting go of her hip for a moment, I grabbed my cock, guiding it to her pussy.

Her fighting halted as I pushed inside her before grabbing her hip again. I buried myself inside her before slowly pulling back out, only to slam back into her.

“Oh my god,” she whimpered.

“Hmm, am I taking another first?” I asked, my eyes staying on her ass as I plunged into her again. “Have you ever fucked in this position?”

She shook her head, a moan escaping her as she met each one of my thrusts, her pussy clenching around my cock like she owned it. Which she did. She owned every fucking piece of me. She always would.

She twisted in my hold, and I tightened my grip on her wrists while reaching for her clit with my other. She cried out in pleasure from my new touch, and I continued to fuck her hard, wanting her to scream louder.

“Fuck,” I gritted out, my own release beginning to build.

Then she broke my hold, freeing her arms, and I let out a protest when she pulled away.

“Kali,” I warned, reaching for her. “What?—”

I caught sight of her dirty grin before she snatched my arm, yanking me onto the mattress next to her. Her moves were much faster than before I’d left the property, and her strength almost rivaled mine.Almost. I rolled on top of her before she could do anything else, trapping her wrists next to her head. She wrapped her legs around my waist.

She was breathing hard, her eyes bright with lust. “Fuck me, Zan.”

“That’s one order from you that I’ll always obey.”

I plunged back into her, silencing her cry by pressing my lips to hers. She tore her wrists from my tight grip before wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me down. Her legs squeezed around me as I thrust in a steady rhythm while listening to her heart begin to race even faster. I kissed the side of her throat, loving the noises escaping her lips as I upped my pace.

“I understand now,” she said between heavy breaths. “Our bond. It’s nothing like I imagined. I don’t feel forced to love you. It’s just…right.”

Lifting my lips from her neck, I met her eyes, not slowing my thrusts. “It was always right, Kali. It just took you longer to realize it.”

Her small laugh turned into a moan. “Yet, you knew instantly. Even when I was human.”
