We fall into a ditch, which moves us out of sight. Titan continues to hold his hand over my mouth until I pass out. By the time I awaken, we’re deep into the forest and the sounds of my people are long gone. Rope cuts into my wrist. Titan has me tied up, and he’s eating out of a metal can. The illusion of luxury is gone, but not my chance at freedom. He warned me I wouldn’t go free, and I should’ve believed him. The problem is, now his realm has been destroyed, I’m unsure what he will do with me.

Chapter Nine

TITAN

The elements whirl around us, and Rose shivers. It’s a long time since I had to use my magic, and lighting a fire is the best I can muster.

“You should’ve put some clothes on before killing my father,” I say. I should be furious with her and sad for my loss, but I’m struggling to understand my feelings.

I didn’t love my father, and I didn’t want to pay the price of stealing her magic. Only now am I realising how messed up my reality has become. It’s easy to overlook the details when you’re not facing them head-on.

“I was expecting to be at home in my own bed, not roughing it in the woods with you.” Her lip quivers from the cold as she tries to fire out an insult. This is the real Rose. Raw, and without a charade she wasn’t good at holding up.

I should let her freeze to death, but my need to touch her is stronger. I wrap my arms around her to warm her, but also to undo the rope I’ve tied her up with. She tenses at first but then relaxes into me. The moonstone in her pocket begins to warm and heats us both.

My father’s blood still lingers, and I can use it to my advantage. With a little concentration, I manage to make a small forcefield around us. It’s not fancy, but it’s enough that I can control the elements.

She shoots me daggers over her shoulder, and I grab her chin so I can kiss her. She might not like the twisted connection between us, but right now, it’s all we have to keep warm. She tries to pull away, but I stop her. My lips crash down on hers once more, and I forcefully take what I deserve. The heat of her lips sends a jolt of blood down to my cock. Rose is my enemy, and I shouldn’t want to be inside her as much as I do. My thoughts should be full of killing her, not getting my fill of her pussy.

“Were you sleeping with me to find out the information you needed to ruin my life?” I ask, unable to hide the hate in my voice. The castle might not have been truly what I wanted, but it was better than having nowhere to call home.

“When you took my virginity, was it so you could get easier access to my blood?” she throws back at me with equal hatred.

“No.” If that’s what she thinks, she’s wrong.

“So why did you do it?”

That’s a good question. I offer the only answer I can. “Because I like you. Well, I did until you cheated me out of my future.”

“Your family already cheated mine out of their magic!”

I’m not personally responsible for that, but maybe I should feel guilty. I had every intention of keeping what my family stole and using it for myself. My mind is spinning with the rage both of us should be feeling, yet the connection between us is strong enough to know she won’t kill me in my sleep.

I kiss her again. “You should hate me,” I say.

“And you should hate me.” She turns in my arms and kisses me back.

With fierce stares, we continue to kiss. Her warm lips glide over mine, and I hungrily match her movement. My hands roam over her thighs and up to her hips. The shirt she’s wearing rides up as she moves onto my lap. She grinds against me as I remove her clothing. She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Her flawless white skin makes the pink bud of her nipples stand out like beautiful roses.

I reach between her legs, finding her already wet. She opens up willingly, and I dip my fingers into her entrance. Usually, she would put up a fight rather than show me she’s enjoying what I’m doing to her, but a small moan leaves her mouth, which goes straight to my cock.

Now the circumstances have levelled between us, something has changed. Before, I felt I was entitled to have her as a guilty pleasure, but now the possibilities are endless. Could my new future be with my enemy? Can I keep her to myself long-term? Most importantly, would it be willingly, or would she always be my prisoner?

I rub my thumb against her clit as she rides my fingers into a loud, screaming orgasm. We both grab for the fastening of my trousers, and we can’t get them undone fast enough. Once my dick springs free, she slides down onto it, making us both gasp. It feels so good to be inside her.

I lift my hips to meet her as we continue to fuck. She’s so wet; my dick glides in and out of her perfectly. For the first time, she allows herself to make the soft moans that have been missing from our love-making. I groan, loving the feel of her with every thrust. My hands run through her silky hair and over her soft breasts. Our kisses become messy as our breathing gets heavier. I reach down to stimulate her clit again. I want her to come with me, even if I don’t want to tell her in words. Her head rolls back while she enjoys the pleasure. I watch her with a sense of ownership until she can’t take anymore. She comes all over my cock, and I follow her over the edge. My seed fills her pussy as I give her my final thrust.

I wake up early in the morning. My stomach growls, and I need to figure out how we’re going to find food. Another tin of meat isn’t going to miraculously appear. Rose is snuggled into my side, and I don’t want to move. She’s breath-taking, even in my father’s dirty shirt. Anger, lust, and something I don’t understand fill my thoughts. I watch her sleep for a while until she stirs. Once her eyes open, I drop the small bubble I created around us. She moves closer as the cold air fills the space.

Would she leave me if I gave her the chance? I’m an idiot for thinking she’d want to stay with me. She’s only here because I forced her, although she’s happy to fuck me. I’m confused, aroused, and frustrated.

My thoughts turn to hate. Everything is ruined. The future I had planned is gone, and I’m left with nothing. My mother’s dead, captured, or hiding, and the woman I want might no longer want to stay with me. I’m free from the poison that filled my father’s body, but I’m not free.

Instead, I’m on the run from a coven that wants revenge, and now my power is compromised, my allies are probably gone too.

“We need to get moving,” I say.
