The flames lighting my fingertips recede back into my skin as my heart sinks and I realize how hurt he’s feeling.

He reaches for my chin, holding it between his thumb and index finger, drawing my eyes back to his as he speaks. “I want andneedto be there for you, Adeena. I can’t let you slip away.”

Resting my hand on his chest, I feel his heart pounding against me.

The heart that wasmadefor me. The heart that waschosenfor me. The heart that I can’t let slip away either, not after everything we’ve been through and every bit of emotion I’ve felt for him since the second I laid eyes on him.

Our bond has always been there, and I’m not sure there’s anything strong enough to break it. He’s the air I breathe, and I know I can’t live without him. I won’t survive without him.

His heart beats strongly beneath my hand, and I feel the power he holds flowing through us like an electric current.

“You’re not losing me,” I whisper. “I am sorry I’ve made you feel like I’m pushing you away. That was never my intention, but I need you to understand that I accept your support and decline your criticism.”

He nods, resting his forehead against mine so our noses are touching. “I can do that. I just need you to be careful.”

“I am, but at the end of the day, I’ll do what I have to if it means I’m protecting those I love. You need to trust that I’ll make the right call if the time comes.”

My brief death in Tartarus will scar him for life, but I hope he finds a way to come to terms with how I choose to live my life. Our world is dangerous and he can’t shield me from everything. It would be unfair for both of us to live in constant paranoia. That’s not how I want to spend my time in this second life that I’ve been given. I refuse to be weakened by the fear of the unknown.

The air is sucked from my lungs as he skims my bottom lip with his. “And I need to remindyouthat I will do whatever it takes to keepyousafe.”

“I know,” I breathe through shallow breaths as his thumb strokes my jawline.

“Do you?” he growls against my lips and he holds my face. “Do you know that I will burn this entire world down to protect you? I will devote every ounce of my being to ensuring your happiness does not waiver, and I will destroy anything that gets in my way.”

I quietly laugh, scoffing as I expose my teeth with a wickedly amused smile. “What if I’m standing in the way of my own happiness?”

His eyes darken as he plays along with my game. “Then I’ll have to break you.”

Chills roll down my spine, making my breath catch as my head tips backward. His hand catches the back of my head as it falls, firmly holding me in place while his lips crash against mine.

A hungry moan rises in his throat, vibrating against my mouth as I open for him, granting him the entry he seeks. His tongue is hot as it takes possession of my mouth, dominating my entire airway as he sucks me down. I grip his bicep as I rise to my toes, trying to find the smallest whisper of air between tongue lashings, but he’s the one in control of my breathing.Hedecides when I take my next breath.

Adrenaline courses through my blood, twisting me into a euphoric high as he suffocates me. He sucks my bottom lip between his teeth, biting down with enough force to make it hurt but not quite hard enough to draw blood.

Gasping, I fill my lungs with as much air as he’ll allow.

A devilish smirk crosses his lips as he moves his focus to my backside. His hands squeeze my ass, lifting me off the ground with ease. He pulls my legs toward him, wrapping them around his waist so that I’m pressing against the rapidly hardening cock caged inside his trousers.

I rock myself against his bulge, using the friction to relieve some of the pressure building in my core. A moan slips through my lips as guides my hips up and down, jerking me against him.

“Get on your knees,” he barks as he suddenly drops me, putting a pause to my incoming orgasm.

I don’t hesitate as my feet hit the floor, and I drop to my knees. I look up at him through doe-eyes, patiently waiting for him to free his massive cock from his tightening trousers. My mouth begins to water at the glorious sight as he pulls it out, then begins bouncing it off my soft lips, giving it a few quick strokes.

“Suck it,” he commands with the most handsomely feral look on his face.

My lips part, opening as he guides his cock into my mouth. His eyes are molten and dark, swirling with desire as he watches me on my knees.

“Mmm,” I moan, sending vibrations through him.

His body twitches at the intense pleasure, plunging his cock down my throat as he groans, “Fuck, baby. You know how much I love when you do that.”

Smiling with my eyes, I spread my tongue flat against his length. I salivate as I slide my tongue all around his cock, preparing it to be stroked and ridden. I wrap my hand around the base of his cock, holding it in place as I slip it back into my mouth, taking him deeper and deeper as my throat loosens up.

His hands lace themselves through my hair, but he leaves me in control of the pace. His moans get louder as I begin stroking him with my hand, perfectly matching the speed I’m maintaining with my mouth. In unison, my hand and my mouth take him down my throat. Tightening around my hair, his fingers yank at my scalp as his pleasure intensifies. A sharp pain shoots across my head as he pulls, and I open my mouth to yelp, but he cuts me off as he lifts me off the ground, throwing me onto the conference table.

I use my elbows to sit up, pushing my back off the conference table to look at him. He growls a warning as he presses his hand against my chest, shoving me back against the table.
