Nero (Alliance, #1)

by S.J. Tilly

I ask the question, even as I swipe my finger up my cock, collecting the proof. “You’re a virgin?” Her head gives the smallest shake, the side of her mouth pulling up into a strained smile. “Not anymore.” I eye the blood on my fingertip, before shoving it into my mouth. The moan that leaves me is bone deep. The coppery taste that floods my senses is my new addiction, and I don’t think, I just shove back inside her. All the way to the hilt.

Reacting to aggression is one thing. But premeditated violence, that’s something else entirely. I’m good at both.

“I’m Payton’s wrath. And you’re about to die.”

There’s just a few more things I need to sort out, before I drag her all the way into the dark with me.

I hit the button to roll down my window. “If I decide I’m too good for Taco Bell, put a bullet in my brain and end my misery.”

“We all gotta go somehow. I’d rather go down swinging than rotting away in a nursing home until all the dumb shit I’ve done to my body over the years finally catches up to me,” Robert says it matter of fact, and I know he means it.

This body is loved.

“Goddamnit, I love you.” Nero uses his hold on my hair to haul me up, slamming his mouth against mine for a clit-tingling kiss.
