“You’re fucking mine, you understand that? You’re…mine. You go into the darkness, I’m right there with you. There’s no leaving me, Ryth. Not now, not ever…in this life, or the next.”
“That was just a taste, princess.” Tobias drew my focus back as he slid his cock from me and looked down. His fingers went between my legs, sliding in the slick as he pushed his cum back inside. “Make sure you make yourself available to me, day and fucking night. Consider it your punishment for leaving me and don’t even think about cleaning this up. I will fucking stain every inch of you by the time I’m done.”
It was instinct to grab her, but fucking hunger to pull her against me.
Fear mingled with my rage. It was a dangerous cocktail.
“I’m gonna use you, princess,” he growled again, driving me against the tree. “I’m gonna use your body…gonna take your soul. Gonna steal that heart right out of your chest…the way you’ve stolen mine.”
“You killed, T,” Nick’s voice was so quiet I barely heard it. “I stood there and watched you kill a man.” But Tobias did hear, and slowly turned to face Nick. He was so cold in that moment, so utterly fucking terrifying. “A number of them, actually,” he added. “And I’d do it again. I’d kill and I’d keep on killing, I’d leave a river of fucking blood, brother. But there is one thing I’d never fucking do, and that’s put her in danger.” He shifted that deadly stare my way and his control trembled. “Because if I did, the next man I’d kill would be myself.”
“You’ve got my heart in your hands, little mouse,” Tobias whispered huskily. “Careful there.”
Be the man…be the man she needs you to be. Be that fucking man or I swear to God…I’ll eat that goddamn bullet myself. “We take care of our own, little mouse. You understand me?”
“Blood means nothing. Not when your heart is on the line.
How could you run from a threat? The answer was simple; you couldn’t. You eliminated the threat. You countered the threat with violence and death. Fighting for peace.
She is ours to protect and ours to save.”
He’d killed a man for me tonight. I wasn’t under any illusion that it was the first man either. There had been many, I was sure of that, and I didn’t doubt there would be many more. Because that’s how Tobias loved.
“So fucking good, Caleb,” I whimpered. “Please, I’m going to be so fucking good.”
“And you fuck well, too,” Caleb growled, as he gripped my hips and slipped his cock free. “You fuck really well. Such a good fucking ride….”
“Defiant just enough to keep things interesting and yet aching to be submissive,” he murmured as he glanced my way, then said with utmost certainty. “One day, Vivienne, you will choke on my goddamn cock…and you’ll fucking love it.”
“I know you might not carry my blood, but you are my heart.” He forced his gaze back to mine. “When a man gives his heart, he gives it wholly and to the end. You are my daughter, my heart, my life. I would gladly, in a thousand different ways, hand that over for yours.”
Become the woman you were always meant to be. Love. Love so fucking hard you feel torn in two.”
“I can do that, princess. I can do that for now. But promise me one thing.” He pulled back, searching my gaze with his. “Don’t use sex with us to shut yourself away. Feel it, feel everything, the hate and the loss and the suffering. Because that’s what keeps you here with us.
He gripped my wrists, slid them over my head, and owned me… Body. Mind. Soul.
