“Should I be scared of you?” I whisper. “Everyone makes it out like I should be. Like I’ll end up dead with you.” He doesn’t answer. Just grabs my throat and pins me against the door.

“They even make the perfect necklace,” I murmur, dragging my own hand across my throat to demonstrate. Her plump lips part. Fuck. How far do I want to push her? “They’d look much prettier wrapped around your throat, Hallie.” She flutters her lashes. That grin? All teeth and sin. “Show me, beastie,” she breathes. I’m a fucking goner.

“What do you mean ‘run’? You think I’m going out in those scary-ass woods in the pitch black? A leisurely jog isn’t what I’m after from you, beastie.”

“Maybe I want to lose so you can fuck my face and come all down my throat.” I choke on a cough and all the blood rushes south. “This is about to be the slowest race in history then, darlin’. Because all I want is another taste,” I tell her, yanking her back by her hair.

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you, beastie? Being a good boy and letting me do whatever the hell I want to you.” I sink my teeth into her skin. “For some damn reason, yes. I want all of that. I don’t know what you’re doing to me, trouble. But don’t stop.”

“Mmhmm. Now you get to see how pretty I am with your dick in my mouth whenever you want.” That pure, feral hunger returns in his eyes and he starts to pull on his restraints. “You misbehave, and I delete them.”

“If that’s how you want to claim me, do it. I don’t give a shit. I’m not interested in anyone else. Only you, Hallie. And I’m going to stare at those pictures of those pretty lips wrapped around my cock the second I wake up and every free moment I have in a day. That’s what you do to me.” All the breath is knocked from my lungs as he crashes his lips over mine. “But if you get to claim me, then I’m sure as fuck marking you as mine.”
