I rubbed my long, hard cock between her ass cheeks that were peeking out. I could feel her muscles tightening, her body wanting to react, but that sassy mouth got in the way. “Oh, so this is the only way the great Roux can get a woman to sleep with him.”

Fury filled my soul, and my mind switched from playing a game to wanting to teach her a lesson. Wrapping one arm around her waist, keeping her arms to her side, I let my hand snake its way down her front to get to her exposed center.

As soon as I got to her little pleasure nub, I gave it a rub before sinking two fingers into her wet, eager center. She couldn't help but let out a reluctant moan. I buried my nose into her neck, shoving those fingers in and out of her until she was dripping and panting. I plucked at her little nub, causing her to jerk in my arms, and licked up the column of her throat.

“I don’t hear any complaining, minx.”

She scoffed, but it was an empty sound that I was sure even she didn't believe.

I was so lost in the moment that I didn't realize my hold on her had weakened. Luckily, I felt her right side clench and managed to dodge a punch coming right for my face in the nick of time. Giving her a low, deep chuckle, I breathed into her hair. “Now, that wasn't nice, but I appreciate the effort.”

She showed her hand at that moment, letting me know that her mind wasn't befuddled enough. I was going to need to change that. I wanted her writhing and crying for more. That meant I needed to turn it up.

Removing my hand from her, I grabbed both arms again, twisting until they were folded and pinned behind her back. She tried to shake me off, growling her frustration at her situation. The beast inside me purred, loving the way she resisted though when she wanted it… wanted me.

I shoved her face into the mat, leaving her ass up in the air, and took advantage of her moment of stunned surprise. Pulling my shorts down, I ran my shaft along her seam, lubing it up with her juices before plunging into her in one thrust.

She cried out, and her passionate screams echoed in the room, music to my ears. I relished the sight of her mouth falling open, eyes flying wide, her face twisted up in pleasure at my entrance. I stayed there for a second, letting her get used to my length as I basked in the feel of her hot, wet center wrapped around me so tightly.

The sensation of her surrounding me was euphoric. Her plump ass pressed against me with my cock buried so deep inside of her that I didn't know where I ended and she began. I wanted to get lost in her, to never leave this spot, but that wasn't the purpose of today. Today was about us being even.

I pulled out slowly, drawing a soft whine from her, the perfect melody, then I thrust back in, forcing her song to become a ragged pant. This went on for a while, and I reveled in the way her noises became increasingly louder and more expressive. I could tell she hated how much she loved it when she rasped out, “More. Fuck, Roux. More.”

Being the giver I was, I released her arms, confident that she wasn't going to move anymore. She sighed at the sudden freedom. I pulled out, smacking her ass so hard my palm left behind a red mark, and she cried out. I made her swallow those cries as I grabbed both cheeks and began pistoning in and out of her like it was my damn job.

Her whole body shook as I gave her barely enough time to breathe. Her erratic moans went from short and high to long and low, only one word coming through clearly. “Yes. Yes. Yes!”

Just as her whole body tightened, squeezing down on my dick hard, I ripped myself from her and flipped her onto her back. I remained on my knees, looking down, while she glared up at me covered in a sheen of sweat, strands of hair stuck to the sides of her face. She had never looked so earth shatteringly beautiful.

“Dick,” she panted, trying to catch her breath.

We both knew that she had been about to come, hell, even I was about to come, but I’d denied us because I wanted her to learn her lesson. Smiling down at her, I gentled my tone, letting it become low and soft like a lover. “Think of it as an incentive. You won't be getting your release until you win.”

She pushed herself up on shaky arms, and although she glared at me, she didn’t say no. I took that as acceptance of my challenge. My hands went to the waistband of her leggings where it had tangled around her shins, and she couldn't hide her eagerness. It was cute.

Gripping her pants, I yanked my hands in opposite directions and watched the center of her leggings split with a loud rip. Her mouth fell open as I let go of the pieces and watched in horror as the thin fabric fell at her sides.

“Those were just going to get in the way,” I chuckled.

The anger in her eyes rose from a low simmer to boiling over. When her face became flushed, I knew her mind was beginning to lose itself to her anger. It was a dazzling sight to see, to watch the angel fall and become a demon right before my eyes.

While I was daydreaming of broken wings and horned crowns, she launched herself at me. Her nails dug into my pecs, scratching down as she pulled herself up to a seated position. A hiss broke through my clenched jaw, but the sweet sensation of pain made my eyes roll up into my skull. I didn't know that pain could feel so honeyed.

I knew I could get pleasure from it. Remembering the feeling of my blood soaked skin as my fist met muscle and bone, it was the ultimate satisfaction in my life, but this was a new kind of bliss. Once I could easily grow addicted to.

Looking down, I wanted to see those jagged red marks like the searing brand they were. Instead, I was met with Rin looking at my chest, head tilted and her brows all twisted up above her clouded eyes.

Oh no. I was not going to let her take them back. I was not going to let her regret giving me these marks that I relished.

Her head snapped up when I grabbed her hands, and she frowned at me when I curled her fingers within my own, returning them to the scratches. I pressed her nails into me harder, dragging them down to renew the pain. “I can take whatever you want to give me, Rin.”

Her eyes were glued to mine, watching my every move. I wrapped my hand around her ponytail, gripping her head hard as I leaned down until our foreheads met. Staring into those molten silver eyes, I laid it out. “You could make me bleed, curse at me, kick and punch me. You could try to throw me away.” My hand tightened on her hair with that last part. “But I will never leave. I’ll always be here, whether it's by your side or in the shadows. You’ll never be rid of me.”

Something in her eyes changed. A vulnerability surfaced that I didn't want to face, so I shoved her down onto the mat, breaking that contact. Positioning myself at her entrance, I let the dark challenge ring in the air. “So give me all you got.” Then I thrust into her so hard her back bent.

This time, she pushed back and tried to kick, trying to fight for dominance. I caught her leg and bit her ankle, causing a string of curse words to spill from those delicious lips as she moaned. She bucked hard against me, trying to use her hips to break off my dick, but when I grabbed her lifted ass and pounded into her harder, she bit her lip to the point of bleeding just to keep her moans of pleasure at bay. She didn’t want to give me that satisfaction, but her determination only made me hunger for more.

When she got close again, I pulled out and landed on top of her, caging her in with my body as I willed my heart to calm down. It hadn't raced like this in… ever. I felt so alive, so free.
