Sovereign (The Sovereign Mountain, #1)

by Raya Morris Edwards

I’m married, I shouldn’t be looking at other men this way. And yet…I can’t stop looking at Gerard like I’m starving.

All that neglect means I’m left empty. And Gerard Sovereign looks like an entire meal and then some.

She’s got an hourglass figure with curvy hips and breasts. When she turns, I get a good look at her round ass, big enough I could get a handful and still have plenty leftover, and my mind goes into overdrive. Imagining what it would be like to sink my teeth into her bare ass hard enough to make her scream.

That’s what I need. To be loved so hard it hurts.

“Does your dog bite?”

“She won’t bite,” he says. “Myself…I can’t promise anything.”

He’d called me a redbird, a spark of color against the winter. Has he lived in the cold for so long on Sovereign Mountain that he needs a sign of hope? That’s what a redbird is—hope.

“Good girl, I knew you could take it.”

All I want is to be ruined.

I got a taste for dominating her the other night, and now I’m hungry again. I want her tied up in my bed, ass flushed red, cum seeping from between her legs. Tears dusting her thick lashes.

“I will fuck your dead husband’s name out of your mouth,” he says. “Then I’ll decide what I want in its place.”

“Come for me, little redbird,” he says, his voice dropping until it rumbles. “This cunt was made to come for me. Give it what it wants.”

I hope every time he sees his gun tomorrow, he thinks about my pussy wrapped around the barrel.

I wonder what he does to unwind, and then realize that’s a stupid question. Me—he does me to unwind.

“Fuck me up, redbird. I’m already so fucked up for you there’s nothing you can do that’ll hurt me.”

“Fall for me, redbird,” I breathe. “I’ll catch you.”

I’m certain of one thing. This woman and I were made from the same kind of stardust.

The way you grieve doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else.”

I’m never coming back from this obsession.

“If I’m heartless, then why does the thought of losing you feel worse than death?”
