Soren tilts his head, eyes searching my face like he wasn’t expecting those words at all.
“I’ll uh…” I scramble for anything else that might calm him. “I’ll stay in your bed tonight. All night.”
Soren’s grip on the gun loosens as he stares at me. “Really?”
Okay… that actually worked. Though I don’t understand why the idea of me staying in his space matters so much to him.
“Just please don’t hurt anyone unless they’vetrulywronged you,” I add softly. “Not these people… they’re your family.”
Soren’s grip on Armen finally loosens. With a low, reluctant grunt, he lets his arm drop, stepping back just enough to free Armen from the wall. The gun lowers to his side, though his fingers still flex around the grip like he’s fighting the urge to raise it again.
Armen exhales shakily behind me. “Thanks, kid.”
I smile at him weakly as he shuffles to a safer distance.
Before I can register what’s happening, Soren’s hands are on me again. He picks me up like I weigh nothing and drops me roughly onto the pool table. I gasp, eyes wide.Oh my god, what is he doing… there are still people in the room.
Selina blurts out, “Boss, don’t hurt him…”
I laugh awkwardly, cheeks burning. “Um, Selina… that’snotwhat’s happening…”
Soren growls low in his throat. “All of you get the fuck out unless you want a free show.”
His gaze never leaves me. A few of the team laugh nervously and start filing out.
Selina makes a small gasping sound. “Oh my god, okay, alright!”
Armen laughs and winks at me as he passes. “Thanks again, bud.”
The door clicks shut with a soft, final sound. The room falls suddenly, deafeningly quiet… nothing but the frantic thud of my own heartbeat filling the silence.
Soren steps slowly between my spread legs, his tall frame casting me entirely in shadow. He looks down at me with those dark, intense eyes, voice low and rough when he speaks. “You’re a dangerous thing,” he murmurs.
He yanks me to the very edge of the pool table, the felt rough and uncomfortable against my skin. Then he hooks his fingers into the waistband of my boxers and pulls them off, leaving me completely naked under his oversized, blood-stained shirt. To make it worse, he grabs my ankles and places the balls of my feet into two corner pockets at the narrow end of the table, spreading me wide open for him.
He pushes the hem of the shirt up to my chest and growls, “This is yours now. I want you to wear this more.”
I blush furiously. “Oh… you do?”
Soren nods, eyes hungry, then he exhales. “Thank you.”
I frown, confused. “Uh… what for?”
He sighs, the sound almost soft. “Stopping me from killing Armen.”
I nod, feeling strangely proud of him for admitting that out loud. For a moment he almost looks… human.
Then his hands are on my thighs again, spreading me wider, and the dangerous heat returns to his eyes.
I’m still stretched from Soren’s fingers, the lube cool and messy between my thighs.
He reaches for the tie of his black silk robe. With a deliberate tug, he loosens it and lets the robe slide off his broad shoulders. It pools silently at his feet, leaving him completely naked. His thick cock is already heavy and flushed, curving up slightly.
His dark eyes burn with raw hunger as he stares down at me, lips parted. A low, guttural groan rumbles from deep in his chest while he grips my hips with both large hands. For a brief second, as he lines us up, he bites down hard on his lower lip, jaw flexing, like he’s barely holding himself back.
Then, with one powerful thrust, he pushes inside me. The burning stretch is immediate and overwhelming. No matter how many times we do this, the first few inches always feel too much… too thick, long, and impossible for my body to take. I bite down hard on my lip, a choked whimper slipping out as my hands fist the edge of the pool table. It hurts, a sharp, deep ache that makes my eyes water, but I don’t pull away.
Soren growls low in his throat, one big hand gripping my hip to hold me still while he sinks deeper, inch byrelentless inch, until his hips are flush against me and I’m completely full of him. Then he shifts his angle just slightly and drives forward again. The pain fractures apart in an instant.
