“Point is, you know I’m in this for the long haul. I know you’re in it for the long haul. Let’s just make the long haul easier for both of us, what do you say, hmm?”

“And if I don’t?”

“You will,”

she stated plainly, seeing his eyes flare in the reflection.

“Because deep down, Mr. Predator, you’re a good man who has been waiting all his life to be able to share with someone. You just need to trust ...

She saw him take in her muddy blue face, his lips tipping up on the sides. Leaning forward, he pressed a soft kiss on her head, their eyes locked in the reflection, and said the two words ...

She was his Achilles’ heel. She was his kryptonite.

In her heels, with her hair in a high ponytail, red lips, and her rectangular glasses, Morana looked good. She knew she looked good. But the way his eyes roved over her with that territorial possession? It made her feel good.

“Sheath your claws, wildcat,”

he murmured softly. Morana growled, pushing him into the wall, glaring at him.

“Don’t play these juvenile games with me, Tristan. I will cut you ope...

He looked down at her, his eyes searching hers, a sof...

Keeping her eyes on his, Morana pushed him into the wall and put her phone in his jacket. His brow furrowed at the action and Morana didn’t explain, sinking down to her knees on the rough ground and unbuttoning his jeans, doing something she’d been dying to do to him for days, putting across her message in a language he would understand, once and for all.

“You wanted to know if I burn with you?”

Morana asked, pushing down his jeans and taking out his semi-hard cock, looking up at him to find his attention rapt on her. She licked him at the t...

“That’s fucked up. You’re fucked up. But...

He got harder and she licked him on t...

His hand fisted around her ponytail, holding her head as he pushed inside her mouth, her lips wrapping around him. She took him as far back as she could and pulled back, keeping her eyes on his, her hands on his strong thighs. He opened his mouth to say something, his blue eyes flaring in a way she’d never seen before, and she took him in her mouth again, hollowing her cheeks and applying the pressure she’d read worked wonders i...

“You keep looking at me like that and I’ll come under ...

Fuck, that felt good. The power she felt in that second, knowing who he was, seeing his control fray at the edges ins...

Morana mumbled, sucking just his tip and flicking her tongue against the slit, not breaking their eye contact. Anyone could come out and see her on her knees, taking her man into her mouth, his fist wrapped around her hair, and it made her fucking wet. His thumb stroked over her cheek as his breathing labored. He didn’t say her name. Wrapping her fingers around his thick base and jerking him off, marveling at the fact that this huge ...

“I don’t just burn with you...

she said, her voice...

“I burn for you. And I don’t know what I have to ...

He groaned, his eyes...

Heart pounding, she took him in her mouth again and got back into sucking him off with vigor, feeling him slowly lose co...

“Pull back if you don’t want ...

he warned. She didn’t. Her own breathing hastened with his, and then he exploded in her mouth with a low growl. Throat working, swallowing down every last drop of him, Morana mentally patted herself on the back for a blowjob well done. The gods of oral would be proud. Opening...

“I want to be able to walk into a room and know, without an iota of doubt, that the man I have claimed is only mine. I know that’s not how things work in this world. I know that men and women play around with others, that loyalty is a luxury not everyone can afford. I know. I just don’t like it.”

“I just, I really like you Tristan Caine, as messed up as you are.”

One of his hands settled on her hips, the other coming up to her neck.

“My loyalty is not a luxury for you, Morana. It’s a gift and it’s yours. You never have to walk in...

“So are you calling me by my name now or do I have to get on my knees to get that?”

“I think about a lot of different things now but don’t mistake me for someone soft, Morana. Whispered words in the shadows aren’t who I am. I’m still a monster.”

“My monster. One who could keep me safe and kill the other monsters who wanted to hurt me.”
