“But I’ll never look back at them with any interest,” she says, her breath warm against my ear. “They don’t exist for me. Not in a romantic way. There’s only my man.”

My heart flops around pathetically over being called Vida’s man, but my jealousy hasn’t cooled. In fact, it’s only spiking with her lithe curves molded to my muscles and her gentle voice filling my head. When the commandment “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife” was given, Vida was the exact woman who made that rule necessary.

“I feel like I’m losing my mind,” I say, lifting her up until her feet are dangling off the ground, crowding her to the wall with my aroused body, my mouth roaming all over her face, neck, and hair. “I’m very close to demanding you don’t speak to other men anymore, even though I know that’s insane.”

“It is insane. At Yale, I’ll have professors?—”

“Oh Jesus Christ, I didn’t even think about thefaculty. They’ll want you, too.” My head is pounding. “I just need you all to my fucking self, angel. Help me do that.”

“We’ll think of something to help you relax,” she whispers, her voice getting a little shaky now, probably because she can feel that my cock is stiff as a board. “Maybe…”

I lift my head, hopeful.Is she thinking chastity belt, too?

Last night in bed, I performed an internet search, and they make discreet leather ones now. With tiny locks on the hips. Only I would have the key.

“Maybe you could send a bodyguard with me?” she says, flushing.

Bodyguard?That’s child’s play.

“Angel, that was a given. That willalwaysbe a given.” God, our relationship has moved so quickly, I haven’t fully prepared her for the lifestyle she’ll be living. “I’m a Sterling. Now that you’re with me, there’s a real threat of you being kidnapped for ransom.”

She swallows. “Oh.”

“Don’t worry, that’s never going to happen. I’m going to find the best female bodyguards money can buy.” I peel the thin sundress strap off her shoulder and bare one of her luscious tits, finding her nipple stiff and rosy. “You won’t need them when I’m with you. God help anyone who gets within five feet of my angel. I’ll turn into a fucking beast.”

I lean down and lap at her nipple, sucking it gently into a stiffer bud, listening to her husky mewl, her tight body writhing on the wall.

“Are you still p-planning on turning into a beast tonight?”

“God yes,” I say heavily, my stomach hollowing with anticipation. “You still want to do this?”

She looks up at me through her lashes and nods. “I’m excited to do it.” She circles her hips slowly, her cunt rasping against the bulge in my pants. “Don’t hold back, okay?”

Semen sputters from the head of my erection. “I won’t,” I pant, flexing my lower body, her lips popping open in response as she moans. “I can’t hold any part of myself back from you, Vida. You own me.”

“You own me, too.”

I let her slide down off the wall slowly.

Baring my teeth, I whirl her around and advance until her cheek is pushed up against the wall and she’s laboring to breathe. Keeping my eye glued to her profile, I yank down the zipper of her sundress and strip it clean off her body, leaving her in nothing but a white thong.

“Do you remember the word we use when you want me to stop?”

“Mussels,” she says tremulously, wetting her lips.

“Good girl,” I praise her, stroking my fingers up into the mane of her hair, closing my grip around a hank of brunette strands and tugging until her face is pointed toward the ceiling. “I’m going to give you a thirty-second head start.”

She whimpers, her breath thinning.

Now, she sounds scared.

My heart doesn’t like that. It recoils up into my throat. But I remind myself she’s not actually afraid of me. No, she wants me to chase her.

She wants my cock by force.

What Vida doesn’t realize is that, since falling in love with her, my fantasy has…shifted. The dark nature of it is still there, beating thickly in my pulse points, but there’s more now.

More that Ineedto subject her to.
