Giving him a big smile, I lifted my sword. He lifted his sword at the same time before stopping again. His eyes looked over me slowly.

“You want to make this interesting?”

“Sure.” The tip of my sword rested in the dirt.

“Every time we earn a point the other takes off a piece of clothing.”

I glanced around the wooded area we had snuck off to so Cassius could help train me. My eyes shifted back to him with a skeptical look.

“You scared, my love?” he taunted.

“No.” I gave him a fake glare. “You’ve got a deal.”

He gave me a smirk as he lifted his sword again. I followed the movement and we both charged at each other. Cassius was better with a sword than I was, but I gave him a challenge at least. My movements countered his high blow, but he was too quick to shield the next. His blade stopped an inch from my chest.

“Point.” He smiled brightly as he watched me lift my shirt up and over my head. Cassius showed no mercy as he charged at me again, but I expected it. Shielding the blow, I grabbed the dagger from my boot and stopped at his throat.

“Point,” I whispered before pushing up on my toes to give him a hard kiss. He grabbed his shirt and tossed it away. My eyes immediately lingered over the way his muscles rippled with every movement.

“Are you distracted?” he chuckled.

I glared at him and headed straight for his chest with my sword. He knocked my first blow and second. Our swords tangled in front of us in an X pattern, our faces inches apart. Cassius smiled as he leaned in to give me a teasingly deep kiss.

“If you forfeit, I'll make it worth your while.” His eyes gleamed with amusement, but I scoffed as I broke my sword away. He moved towards me quickly and I didn’t have enough time to pull my sword up. His blade stopped an inch from me.

“Point.”

I huffed as I slipped off my shoes.

“Shoes?” He groaned disappointed. “I was hoping the bodice was next.” his eyes stared at me with a hunger I recognized all too well.

“Are you distracted?” I mocked.

He smiled as he replied, “Yes.”

“Good.” Wasting no time, I struck but he knew it was coming. This time we spared longer. Each of us fought desperately to be in the lead. I ducked away from him, but his sword followed me and stopped before impaling me.

“Point,” he spoke out of breath. Reaching the blade forward he cut my bodice, so it split into two pieces. I stared at him and watched his eyes turn dark. His tattooed chest rose and fell in deep breaths. Cassius tossed his sword down.

“You win.” He muttered as he stalked at me. I was tossing down my sword as his mouth descended on mine. His hands discarded my ripped bodice. His hands cupped my face roughly so I couldn’t pull away. Not that I wanted to. My hands made work on his trousers as he shoved mine down my thighs. Our kiss was frantic. He shoved his trousers down only enough to free himself before lifting my leg around his waist.

He slammed into me. The sound that fell from my lips echoed in the forest around us. Cassius’s throaty groan made my body clench with lust.

“Fuck.” He growled as he pulled out of me and walked us backward. My back hit the cold stone wall. Wasting no time lifting me back up, he slid into me.

“Always so wet for me, Little Viper,” he said, eyes gleaming in approval. “That’s my good fucking girl.”

Fuck, fuck, fuck. My fingers dug into his back as his hips hit me perfectly with each thrust. Was it possible to die from great sex? Unintelligible things fell from my lips.

“Please,” I begged, but didn’t know what for.

His hand moved up my body and to my throat where he gave me a little squeeze. His mouth started to descend onto mine, but he stopped an inch away. His hot breath fanned my face as his hand squeezed my throat perfectly. I tried to move forward to steal a kiss, but he held me back.

“Cassius, please,” I whimpered. I was close. I needed to feel his lips on mine. “Please.”

“Fuck, I like when you beg,” he smiled. He leaned forward and gave me a small teasing kiss. I growled my disapproval and he smiled brighter. “I like those pretty noises you make, Thea. Noises that belong to only me.”

I loved it when he spoke to me like this. Like he worshiped everything I did. It only pushed me closer to the edge. His mouth kissed my jaw softly just to tease me some more.
