She looked like she was about to kiss one of them, and I sprang into action, hauling ass toward them. They were either too fucked up to realize she was mine or they had a death wish, and I had no problem burying their bodies. It was what I was good at.

“Onyx!” Some chick threw her arms around my neck. “There you are! I’ve been looking for you!”

Hennessy must have heard my name because her head turned in my direction, jerking back when she saw me coming…

Right. For. Them.

“Onyx,” she coaxed in a wary tone, her hands out in front of her. Subconsciously surrendering to me, she only triggered the beast inside me in a way I’d never experienced before.

“Onyx—”

Within seconds, my hands were around her thighs, pulling her off the bar and throwing her over my shoulder. I’d deal with the guys later, and trust me, I was going to make sure they learned that every action had a consequence, especially when you fucked with what was mine.

“What the hell?” she shrieked, trying to fight me off.

I was beyond the point of reason. She was bringing out this jealousy in me I never knew existed.

“No! Put me down! You’re embarrassing me!” She kicked her legs, flailing. I did the only thing I could. I spanked her ass.

Hard.

She yelped, and I didn’t waste any time. I carried her out back of the estate where no one was around and we were under the full moon, surrounded by trees. I wasn’t going to stop until we were deep in the forest she fucking loved so much.

Any common sense I had seemed to have flown out the damn window with her ass in my face.

“Onyx, you’re being ridiculous! What do you think you’re doing? I wasn’t doing anything wrong! I was just dancing!”

“I know exactly what you were doing,” I replied.

“You can’t do this!” She was panting profusely.

“Yeah? Who’s going to stop me? You?”

“You’re acting like you’re jealous.”

There was no uncertainty in my stride.

“Onyx,” she huffed, pressing her hands on my upper back.

My strong hold tightened behind her knees to keep her locked in place with her ass right in my face.

“You can’t do this! It’s not what you think!”

“Keep telling yourself that. Guys like them fuck whores, Hennessy. They must think pretty highly of you.”

“Wow! Well, you must think pretty highly of me too. Now put me down!”

I spanked her ass again, harder that time.

“What the fuc⁠—”

“You didn’t think I’d notice quite the cock tease you are tonight?”

They said vengeance didn’t make you feel better. It was a lie. I was getting off on this shit.

“It’s not what you think.”

“You keep saying that.”
