“This is getting pretty old, pretty fast,” Mareina growled, holding her bounds hands up as I set her atop Pumpkin. I stepped into the stirrup and swung my opposite leg over Pumpkin’s back, settling behind the wretched female who was glaring daggers at me.
I couldn’t suppress the grin that quirked my lips, taking a twisted pleasure in her frustration and helplessness against me. Readjusting my cock currently being strangled in the pant leg of my trousers, I hummed my pleasure at the memory of her submitting to me… Gagged, bound, and staring pleadingly into my eyes as I gingerly pleasured her pretty little pussy.
“I easily could have torn your throat out last night, and I didn’t. I think we can move beyond this without having to fear your life.”
“It’s not mylife I’m fearful of losing, Mareina. It’syou.”
She reared back, studying me warily.
“What am I missing? Tell me the truth. I can see it lingering there in the shadows behind your insidious fucking eyes… And don’t try me with some bullshit about us beingsoulbound.It’s more than that.”
I willed my face into a mask of neutrality even if her words struck so close to home it nearly toppled over.
‘You know you can’t tell her,”my mother’s words echoed in my mind…
If I told Mareina about my premonitions before they came to fruition… She’d definitely run in the opposite direction. And I needed her to fulfil our bond so that I would wield a power not even Zurie’s army could resist.
Thelieslid from lips as smoothly as butter against a blade…
“One day, I will earn your trust, Mareina… Along with every other part of you that is mine to claim.”
I spurred Pumpkin into action as if to punctuate the closing of this conversation.
Instead, her eyes narrowed with further distrust.
Fuck.
Any other female would have swooned…
Just when I thought I’d had her figured out, thinking all I had to do was use a bit of tenderness to coax open the petals of my thorny little rose for her to blossom for me…
“I want a separate tent… I have no desire to be subjected to your manipulations. If you can’t give your me the courtesy of truth, then there willneverbe any part of me available for you to claim, no matter what pretty words and soft touches you try to coax me with.”
Her words were like a bucket of ice-cold water straight to the face.
“And actually, on that note, if you refuse to let me ride Chihiro, I would ask that you let me ride with someone else. If you wish to haveanyhope of gaining my cooperation in whatever fucking scheme you’re working at, youwill.”
A melange of hurt, anger, and frustration split my face into a cold smile.
“No.”
I was shocked my skin didn’t burst into flames from the burn of her fury.
“Well,in that case… I hope you enjoy sleeping with one eye fucking open.”
The threat in her words made my cock twitch. I beamed wide, and when her eyes flicked briefly to my lengthening fangs, it filled me with a dark satisfaction. My voice dropped to a husk.
“If you wanted me to gag again, darling, all you had to do was ask.”Her pupils flared as her breath caught, surely recalling with vivid clarity of the last occasion she’d submitted to me.
Her eyes darted briefly to myolana kah’hei,save Lokus, who was about an hour ahead.She remained quiet, though her anger poured off her in waves.
Pomona’s disappointed look in her eyes as she stared at me took a little of the wind out of my sails. Famei, the most considerate and boundary-respecting one of us, kept his face forward in a courteous effort to at leastpretendhe wasn’t listening.
Rayne and Roderick, however, didn’t bother. Rayne watched keenly, though his expression was as unreadable as ever. Roderick, however, was flat-out scowling at me. The soft spot he seems to have for my little nightmare grates against my skin like fucking barbed wire.
