“How?” she breathes as I slowly drop my hand, hating to break the physical contact.
“How did I get in? Little one, you’ll never be safe from me.” I reach up, wrapping my hand around her throat and tilting her face back, walking her out of the shadows and into the moonlight that dances through the room.
Her eyes are dilated. It’s the only fucking thing I can focus on.
“What has you so excited, little one?”
She shakes her head. “I’m not…”
“No lies!” I shout. I feel her flinch under my hold. “I can’t stand liars,” I whisper.
“I don’t know why I’m excited,” she admits, meeting my gaze with hers.
I smirk. “I do. You’re teetering the edge.”
“The edge?” she whispers.
“The boundary line between life and death. You don’t know me. You have no idea what I’m capable of.” I flex my hand over her throat, and she swallows, the motion exhilarating me.
The backs of her legs hit the edge of the bed, where she can’t go any farther. Where she’s fully mine to play with.
“Why are you angry with me?” she asks, a tear leaving her eye and rolling down her face. I lean forward, capturing it with my tongue and licking up the trail left behind, savoring the salty tang of what I’m doing to her.
“I’m not angry with you. If anything, I’m fucking obsessed with you. I live for you, Carina,” I whisper in her ear, nipping its outer shell, making her yelp.
“Why? I’m nothing to be…”
I tighten my grasp on her throat and silence her mouth. “I said no fucking lies!” Anger punctuates every word as I glare at her. She nods in my hand.
She keeps quiet, gazing at me, waiting for me to decide what to do with her.
Smart girl.
But what do I want to do with her? On one hand, her skin against mine is driving me fucking wild, but the look in her eye tells me she’s been brutalized before. And that makes me halt, refraining from pushing her too far.
Why do you care?
‘I don’t fucking know!’
I hate that I’m arguing with myself, but the way my prey is looking at me tells me if I start externally arguing with myself, she’ll definitely be disturbed.
“Why are you obsessed with me?” she asks, working to keep her tone even keeled as she maintains unwavering eye contact with me. I assume she’s doing it to let me know she’s not afraid, but she forgets I still grip her pulse point.
“Who wouldn’t be?” I reach up and cup her face with my other hand, brushing across her delicate skin as I’ve thought about doing a thousand times before. Shit, I don’t know how many streaks are across my Mac’s screen where I’ve tried to touch her. Longed to be closer to her.
Her breathing hitches. She leans inward.
“Does that entice you, little one?”
She appears as if she’s going to give me her lies again, but she nods, admitting her truth in the darkness as I hold her hostage with my touch.
I smirk.
“Well, what should we do with that information, hmm?”
