“Let me go,” I spat. “Don’t you understand, sweet girl?” he said with a smile, lording over my body like a demonic prince of Lillian’s underworld. “I will never let you go.”
Kylo suddenly inhaled, exposing his fangs. He almost looked pained. “Gods above, baby, please. The scent of your blood was already powerful enough. The fear and arousal make it maddening.”
the look on his face was like nothing I’d expected. It was reverent. As if he was in worship. In devotion. In awe. His mask restructured. His thumb gently rubbed my clit before passing through my folds. “Evie darling, I’m going to feast on you now. Be a good girl and come on my tongue as many times as you can.”
yes daddy🙂↔️
“Your pussy is perfect,” I said, and she shuddered. “And I was right. I fear I’ve already lost my appetite for any other taste than you for the rest of eternity.”
“You are incredible, and you should be proud of the person you have become. I know that being this unique has come at a price. I’m sure it’s made you feel terribly lonely.” Evie’s face fell. She was vulnerable, unsure. Yet those eyes sparked with hope—like she recognized me as the mirror of her own soul. “But I hope you can one day look back on that loneliness with gratitude. Because without it, you wouldn’t have fallen so deeply in love with your magick. You wouldn’t have read so much, learned so much, evolved into the perfect expression of divinity that you are.”
I pictured him in his mask, his shadows gagging, teasing, and binding me, leaving me exposed and helpless as he had his way.
“Your tears, your pain, your pleasure, the dew between your thighs… your irresistible, otherworldly blood that’s unlike any I’ve ever scented before,” he said, the words seeming to claw their way out of his throat. “I’m obsessed with all of it. You already have too much of a hold over me. When I can no longer stomach feeding from anyone but you, when your life force is inside of me, fueling my power—I can’t imagine the level of insanity that will root itself in my mind. I will need you. And that should terrify us both.”
As soon as one of the earthen vines crawled too high on Evie’s thigh, I stepped out of the shadows. All of my buried rage and fear from the past five hours of searching for her bled from my skin. In this moment, I didn’t think like a clan leader. I didn’t think as a skilled interrogator or a politician or a revolutionary. I only thought as Evie’s protector. I only thought of her.
Kylo looked at me like I was the cosmos itself, as if I held his every last dream in my palms. “Let me in, Evie,” he said. “Let me love you.”
“I don’t have words for the hold you have over me, angel,” he said softly. “There is no end to the depths of my obsession. Every inch of your body, every beat of your vulnerable heart, every shade of your multitudinous soul, and every thought in your beautiful mind—I need to see it all, to possess it all. Because you already possess me. I fear the lengths I would go, the distances I would travel, the atrocities I would commit to keep you safe. Or merely to ensure you always know just how much I adore you.”
Evie had said she wanted me to feed from her. It was the most unexpected surprise that I was trying my hardest not to think about, lest I allow her to ruin my focus when I needed it most. Gods, she really was ruining me. She had no idea how tightly wrapped around her finger she had me, no matter how many times I forced her to submit to the magnitude of my power.
“I’m so deeply in love with you that I can’t go a full minute without you crossing my thoughts. I adore your mind, the way it processes this world and births new ones entirely. Your laugh makes me feel like I’m fucking dying, as if I will never be able to hear enough of it to be content.”
“I loved you before it was rational or reasonable,” he said as the stars glowed brighter. “I’ve loved you for a humiliatingly long while now, but I suspect I’ve always loved you. Like I recognized you the moment I first saw you, and the rest was merely a process of remembering how much you meant to me and always would.” Rich emotion flooded
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I’m sorry for ruining your beautiful moment. I’m so sorry.” “Shhh, baby,” Kylo whispered, stroking my hair. “My love is not contingent upon your behavior. You don’t have to perform for my love. You don’t have to beg for it. Or even ask very politely. I love you for existing. I love you for being you.” “Sounds fake,” I sobbed into his chest. Kylo laughed softly. “One day, it won’t feel that way. One day, being loved by me will feel as certain and effortless as breathing. And I am more than happy to show you how much I care for you, how much I would do anything to earn and

“I don’t love like a normal person, Evie darling,” he said, low and gravely. My core tightened in anticipation. “I don’t do anything like a normal person,” he said with dark humor. “Because I love you, you aren’t merely mine to care for and protect. You’re also mine to torment. Mine to toy with. To possess. To own. To flood with pleasure until you’re begging for relief—relief that will never come. You’re mine to mark and bite and claim and fucking destroy until you’re nothing but a needy mess at my feet, pleading with your God for mercy.”
That slick shadow now played with my tits. “My shadows might love you as much as I do,” Kylo said, staring down at me hungrily as his cock teased my pussy, sliding up and down. One of the shadows wrapped around my neck, as if in agreement.
“Gods below,” he hissed. “You feel so fucking good, Evie. I fear you don’t exactly know what you’ve gotten yourself into…” He trailed off as I spasmed around the impossible girth. The tingly feeling was overwhelming now, overtaking the pain and driving me to new heights of ecstasy. “… because now that you’ve allowed me to mark what’s mine with my cum, I won’t be able to get enough of you. You think I was obsessed and possessive before?” He laughed darkly. “You try to hide from me now, and I will fucking chain you to my bed.”
“Open.” I opened my mouth, and Kylo spit inside. He glared down at me until I swallowed. “Thank you, Kylo.”
where can I sign to get the same?
After years of escaping true vulnerability, of never allowing myself to rely on anyone or trust anyone else to protect me or take care of me the way I could… Submitting to this deranged vampire who read philosophy, who dreamed of a better world, who saw and understood me for who I truly was at my core—it was the longest, deepest exhale of relief.
My heart physically ached in my chest as Evie fell asleep in my arms. She had no idea the effect she had on me, now more than ever. We were bonded in a way that could never be broken, in too many ways to count.
I’d claimed so many of Evie’s firsts. But being the only man to have earned her love was the most special of all.
Something primal and territorial heated my blood, making me want to shield Evie from my mentor, my clan, anyone at all who might ruin her pure, warm soul. She wasn’t a secret asset. She was my Evie. She needed protection, healing, and care—not to be used like her parents had once used her. I refused to add to her suffering, to repeat the wounds of the past. And the mere thought of her being anywhere near the violence of war made me want to rip out someone’s throat.
“Whorish?” Kylo chuckled. “Was I meant to live as an ascetic monk until the other half of my soul finally decided to grace this plane with her presence?”
OTHER HALF OF MY SOUL?! GODDDD SIR PLS TAKE PITTY ON ME😭🥵🥵
“Is this what you wanted, baby?” Kylo asked. I didn’t have time to answer before he thrust his cock inside me without warning. The scream that tore through me was softened by Kylo’s hand over my mouth. “Shhh,” he whispered, gripping my hips. “Why are you whining, angel? You won your own little game. You should feel so proud.” The sweetness in his voice was a lie, teetering on the edge of psychopathic. He removed his hand from my mouth, letting me cry out undeterred.
“You know what I think?” he asked, his voice more unhinged than ever as it deepened and distorted. “I think you wanted me to reveal how fucking obsessed I am with you. The extent of my madness, my preoccupation with being inside you at all times. Buried in your greedy cunt. This inviting throat. Your tight little ass. My fangs in your flesh, my voice infecting your beautiful mind. You wanted me to reveal the truth that I want to be so deep inside you, every second of every day, that you have no hope of ever escaping me.”
“If you think my rules are unreasonable, voice that,” Kylo said. “We’re roleplaying, baby. Underneath the power games, you’re still my equal.” I nodded. “Okay.” I reached a trembling hand to his lips, and he kissed my fingers. “You’re forgiven,” he said. “But I’m not even close to finished making you suffer.”
“Angel, I’m not sure addicted covers how fucking obsessed I am with you,” he said, his voice raw and quivering with intensity. “You have me downright consumed. In a way that should terrify the both of us. And, likely, the entire realm.”
her fire. I loved everything about that girl. Even the parts she hated most. The parts I’d never seen before but had tasted in her blood—tales of violence and a deep, buried wrath. She had become my entire world. I couldn’t build this future I’d been working toward for decades without her by my side, without her laughter in my ear and her hand in mine. And gods, I couldn’t breathe right without Evie’s trust.
