“Scream for me,” I growled, raising the book again.
Ily was my reckoning and condemnation all in one as I wrenched my arm down, adding as much force as I could for those watching us, narrowly preventing my full strength from hurting her.
This time, she cried out.
Not quite a scream. Not quite a yelp.
A heady, hurting grunt that set my heart on fire.
My entire body turned into a pyre. My stomach knotted. My cock throbbed. I did my best to ignore the feelings she conjured in me and threw myself into the pantomime.
“Again.” I struck her a fourth time. The singing slap was the sweetest, foulest music.
Tears wobbled in her gaze as she let go of whatever shore she clung to. Pure sorrow spilled from her lips, but her cheeks remained dry from droplets.
I couldn’t look away.
If she cried, I’d be finished.
Hung, drawn, and quartered right there in the library.
Her throat worked as she swallowed down her grief.
I reached the end of my tether.
“Five,” I whispered, bringing the first edition of The Count of Monte Cristo slicing through the air and hitting her red-blooming ass.
Something changed in her.
A ripple of horror ran down her spine.
A scream spilled right from her soul.
She didn’t hold back as she filled the library with every hate, misery, and fear. I’d never heard a wail like it. Never had someone’s voice affect me on a visceral, primal level.
That scream was her signature on this sick contract between us. Signing her very life over to me, trusting a sadistic stranger, giving me the right to do whatever I damn well wanted.
It undid me.
It consumed me.
Her body stiffened, almost as if agreeing to play with me had been empty words, but now…now that I’d abused her, and she’d experienced first-hand what we would have to do, she rebelled against every future strike, whip, and punishment.
The worst kind of aphrodisiac.
The best kind of turn-on.
Q…hurry the fuck up.
Footsteps echoed in the stone corridor.
Ily froze.
It was now or never.
Take her or watch another monster rape her.
Bending over her, I whispered in her ear. “You know what I have to do.”
