I hate myself for it, but I want him even more. There’s nothing in the world like it, the way he takes over me, the moment we step inside the bedroom, chasing every other thought away with his cool instructions and unbreakable will. Dominating me the way nobody else ever has.
The way I never knew I always needed.
Yes, Sebastian still has an unshakeable hold over me. Part desire, part obsession.All mine.
I wish those nights would last forever. The sharp ache of pleasure he conjures with his hands, his tongue, his thick, relentless cock. The way he knows exactly how to strip away all my defenses, leaving me writhing, begging for just another taste, soaring with the thrill of total surrender.
The wild, ravenous look in his eyes as I sink to my knees, open my mouth, and suck him all the way down.
“Fuck, Avery, just like that…”
“Deeper, baby, take it all.”
“Good girl.”
It’s heaven. I can’t get enough. I revel in it, blissfully free—until I wake alone in my own bed the next morning, and it all comes rushing back to me. My shame. My anger.
Sebastian’s wicked heart.
The snowfinally stops falling on the third day. I settle into the library as usual to pass the day, but I’m interrupted when Sebastian comes into the study for the first time since I claimed it as my own. He’s dressed in his coat and boots, holding a rifle.
“I’m going hunting.”
My eyebrows pop up. “Clearly,” I say, cautiously eying the gun.
“Are you coming?” he asks.
I’m already on my feet. I’m so restless from being cooped up in here, I’d do anything to get out—even venture into the snow with an armed man who hates me. “Give me five minutes,” I tell him, quickly going to change into warm clothes. I layer up with boots and a coat from the mudroom, and meet Sebastian in the backyard, which is thickly covered in snow.
“There should be deer in the forest,” he says, nodding to where the tree line begins in the distance.
“We’re hunting Bambi?” I protest.
He gives me a look. “What do you think you’ve been eating for days?”
“I’ve been trying not to think about it at all,” I admit.
“Come on. Be quiet,” he adds, adjusting his pack. “And stay near me. The lake’s frozen, but the ice isn’t safe.”
I pull my mittens on and set off after him. The sky is clear, bright and crisp, and the snow lays thickly on the ground, totally undisturbed. I take a deep breath, savoring the chilled air in my lungs. It’s beautiful out here—or, it would be, if this were some romantic getaway, and not the two of us stranded together, bound by necessity and loathing.
Still, the change of scene is exactly what I needed, and I’m enjoying the nature as we trek along the edge of the forest, the fir trees looming thickly all around. Then I feel Sebastian’s hand on my arm.
“This way,” he says, nodding deeper into the forest.
“Aren’t we walking on a trail right now? Maybe we shouldn’t leave it,” I suggest. “We don’t want to get lost.”
Sebastian shakes his head. “We need to hunt in the cross wind.”
My eyebrows knit together as I stare at him in confusion.
“The wind needs to blow from the side as we walk,” he explains. “Deer have sensitive noses and if they catch our scent, they’ll avoid us.”
“You really think we’ll find any deer?”
“Only if you be quiet,” he says, looking annoyed.
I glare at him but don’t say another word as I make an effort move as silently as possible. Luckily, the snow help stifle the sound of us walking as we step off the path. Sebastian moves stealthily through the trees, and I try to mimic that, following a few steps behind.
