“This was an interview—he wouldn't have hurt you.” I laughed, but it was cold—more pissed than happy. “An interview?” “They asked for the best, but they wanted to see you in action and to see your skills without you knowing it was an interview.”

Even choking, this asshole was hot—seriously, someone needs to break his nose and make him a little less pretty. My mind cried out in warning. Adam and Alden were both chanting, trying to take down the barrier. The Demon was using his dark powers—did they think I hadn't considered all this before I erected it? It was foolproof. I was that good. Seriously, sometimes I scared myself with just how badass I was.

I pushed past his body and headed toward the bathroom, dismissing him completely from my mind. Okay, so I tried to, anyway. He was the most beautiful, exquisite creature I had ever laid eyes on—also the most deadly, which I was humming inside my head to keep the hormones at bay. Not that it helped me any.

I want to fill her, feel her as her warm, sleek muscles clench my hard length lovingly. Feel her from the inside. Abuse her insides until she screams for me. I get what I want, and right now, it's her. She should run, but I'd catch her. I always catch my prey. I take because I can, because no one else can stop me. I am what she fears. I can smell it coming off her in succulent waves and it drives my inner beast insane.

“I took your blood. Now there is nowhere you can hide that I won't be able find you, Pet. You took from me; I took from you. Tit for tat, so to speak. I suggest, next time, you read the fine lines inside a contract before blindly signing it. I own you.”

I say jump, you ask how high. You are bound to me, body and soul, until I say otherwise. You took part of my soul. I just took a piece of yours. Getting it now? Or do I need to show you for you to understand?” I wanted to scream, or rip his eyes out. “I'm not a piece of fucking property! I cannot be owned!” “Quite the opposite…you are mine. As of right now, you belong to me, Pet.”

“It means, did he look in your blue eyes and touch you inside. Love is more than just feeling something, it's the connection of two souls that intertwine and cannot be without the other. It's not just saying you love someone—it’s showing them with every fucking breath you take, every look. It just is, simple as that. That kind of love doesn't die. It withers the soul without the other to keep it alive. Eventually, it turns you bitter and cynical.”

“If you do that to anyone, and I mean anyone else, Syn, I will lock you up inside this fucking room. That wasn't dancing, not by any fucking means.” He paused, turning his full hungry Fae eyes in my direction.

“I'll be strong for you, Syn…if you need it. You don’t always have to be the strong one. I'll be your glue if you want to crumble. I'll hold you together,” he said, lifting his eyes to meet mine.

“Don’t you fucking die, Syn. Don’t—Goddamn it! Where's the fucking healer?” Ryder was commanding me not to die. He had some serious God complex going on.

“You drive me crazy, and I think you do it on purpose. I had to watch you almost die, Syn. Do you have idea how fucking hard that was for me? I had to watch them cut you open to stop the bleeding, and I watched you bleed out three fucking times before Eliran could stop it. And then I had to watch as your fucking coven came in and took you away from me while citing breach of contract bullshit and I couldn’t fucking kill them because if by some fucking miracle you woke up and I had, you would never forgive me. I saved you, Syn, not them. You'd be dead if I hadn't been Fae. You'd have died in the ...more
