I shiver from something other than cold when his arms surround me, cocooning me in his strength and his warmth. His lips touch the top of my head as the water pours over both of us, steam filling the shower.

And slowly, I uncoil.

Slowly, all the tension, the torment, the anxiety, and the ghosts of the past leave me. And as I unclench, I’m finally fully aware of the muscled body and the power surrounding me.

“Why are you doing this?”

He turns me until I’m facing him, one hand cupping my chin and raising my face to his.

“What?”

“Why…” I swallow, feeling so…weak. So fragile. So close to breaking. “Why are you helping me?”

“You’re mywife.”

“Cillian—”

“This might all be for show,” he growls, his hand cupping my cheek as the other arm circles my back. “And you might have fucking stabbed me, and there might be an expiration date to all this.”

I tremble as green fire ignites behind his eyes.

“But I willneverlet anything or anyone hurt you.”

“I—”

“Ever.”

His mouth suddenly crushes to mine.

Brutally. Viciously.

Consuming me.

I shudder, whimpering as his lips sear mine, and his tongue slips between them. I moan as he kisses me deeply, and when his hands slide down to my hips, I gasp as he suddenly lifts me into his arms as if I’m weightless.

My own arms slip around him, my pulse thudding with fear and excitement—with lust and an explosiveness that both terrifies and electrifies me.

I moan into his mouth, whimpering at the brutality of the kiss as he storms from the bathroom, both of us dripping water as he moves into the bedroom.

Adrenaline and desire sizzle through my veins, and my pulse lurches as he suddenly drops me—letting me free-fall until I land on my back on the soft warmth of his bed. Without even missing a beat, he’s on top of me, crushing his mouth to mine again and kissing me even more viciously than before.

His lips and teeth move to my neck, biting hard and making me cry out as the pleasure shivers through my core.

“I only had you for a moment that first time,” he rasps into my ear as I whimper and cling to him. “This time, you can be sure I’ll betaking my fucking time with you.”

“I—”

“And don’t worry, little rabbit,” he growls thickly. “I’ll be sure to make it hurt.”

Oh, fuck yes.

Snarling, growling desire explodes inside of me as he bites down even harder on my neck, making me cry out in a sinfully delicious mix of pain and pleasure.

“Will you be my good girl and beg for it harder?”

“Yes!” I choke.

“Yes,what?”
