Page 61 of A War Around Us

Hard to believe her entrance, the power her figure claimed, and how her hand handled a sharp blade effortlessly. Thirsty to taste her crazed body and unstable mind. Her need to punish and claim who she believed was hers. The jealousy that cracked her armor.

I was rock hard to her threat.

As her emerald-green eyes shined with the promise of hurting someone if they touched me, I believed her.

I had gone out of my way to ignore her for days, hoping my silence would make her crave my presence. Hoping it would punish her for how she’d spoken to me in public, but instead, I had fueled her raving spirit.

Anna wasn’t planned, but when her text came through, I saw a way to teach Katia another lesson.

I needed a release, a quick fix to ease the demon that lately couldn’t be reined in. It didn’t ask for blood, and as I had been too busy with the threats Katia had brought along with her to the syndicate, I needed a fuck. Little did I know how far she would go.

But Anna hadn’t done it for me. While she was ready for my touch, all I could think of was the tan skin and long legs of a certain vixen I had ready for my taking.

I had been minutes away from telling Anna to leave since my plan to hurt Katia had failed when she hadn’t seen me walk Anna to my study.

Therefore, I never anticipated Katia barging inside my study with a knife and threatening Anna.

All I had managed to accomplish while staying away was wanting her more.

And it infuriated me.

To be played by my own game, my own doing, all due to losing sight of who she truly was.

I stood and kept my fists from balling with the wild rage of having her near with a weapon and threats.

“What will you do?” True curiosity sparked in me.

What will Katia do?

She didn’t say a word, and I ushered for her to speak with each step closer I took toward her heated eyes.

Again, Katia surprised me by closing the distance between us.

Tall and grand, her lavish might faced me.

Fucking insane.

And yet, it pulled me. Luring me to her striking power.

“Tell me,” I gritted.

Her scent triumphed over Anna’s, twisting me to her ways.

Silence.

I towered over her body as she silently raised her head high.

My patience for her to speak, for her to feed the demon with details of what she would do, diminished, and I wrapped my hand around her neck. It slid away from her throat until my fingertips felt her velvet chestnut hair. I gripped it tightly, forcing her to keep her eyes on mine.

“As it seems your words have failed you, I’ll explain what I would do to those who so much dare to lay a hand on you,” I murmured, and my face neared her natural red bowed lips.

“They’ll be dead. But not before I will relish in their screams and useless begging.” My lips formed a cruel smile. “They will be left unrecognizable.” My chest bounced erratically as I continued, “And I will wait until every drop of blood drains out of their body. No fingertips will be left to identify who they were since their hands won’t be near their ruined bodies as they touched what is mine.” Katia’s eyes fluttered. “And if you so much as allowed it.” My wrath lashed out at the thought following my threat. “You will hear the cries you say you don’t care about, and I will fucking make your life so miserable that you will wish for death to take you as mercy.”

I couldn’t take back my words as they were the truth. Our arrangement had been toxic, poisonous from the start, and it was time I showed her who she would be married to, who she will submit underneath, and who she will have to be loyal to.

Katia jerked to be freed, forcing me to pull her hair tighter. Too tight.

Fear.
