“James.” Her voice shakes a little and I push her back against the glass and whisper in her ear, “Just tell me tostop and I will. I warned you I was no romantic hero, baby. I told you what to expect. It’s up to you if you’re prepared to dive onto the dark side with me, or would prefer I called you a cab home?”

I gently nip at her neck, sucking it hard, intent on marking her perfect skin, and she shivers against me and whispers, “Do it.”

I smile because I sense the defiant edge to her voice. Almost as if she is closing her eyes as she prepares to dive off a cliff, seeking the adrenalin rush but fearing the outcome. It’s a feeling I’ve had many times myself.

I step back and say deeply, “Wait there until I come for you.”

She says nothing and merely presses her head against the blinds and as I walk away, my heart beats faster with anticipation.

If Ana wants me, she gets the whole of me, darkness included, and as I head to my bedroom, I waste no time in ripping off my own suit and tie and grabbing everything I need.

Five minutes later, I head back into the room and gaze with satisfaction on the woman who has stayed exactly where I left her.

There is no reflection to witness her expression and as I reach her, I slide a sleeping mask over her eyes and then fist her hair, tugging her head back and growl, “This is me, Ana. This is the man I hide inside the sharp suits and behind the respectable job. This is the man who prowls the streets at night, entering dark worldsjust for kicks. This is me and before we go any further, you have the option to walk away now.”

Silence answers my question and I wait, my hand holding her head back, my entire body on fire as I wait for her command.

“I want to know what it’s like in your world, James.”

Her soft response is like gasoline on a flame and relief floods my soul as I sense a willing participant in my twisted games.

This is my release. This is how I fight my demons, but I will only unleash them on a willing partner.

A slow grin spreads across my face as I am given the green light and as my mouth lowers to her slender neck, I prepare to ruin our souls.

CHAPTER 17

ANA

This is so incredibly intense. I have never been in this position before and I’m freaking out inside.

What have I agreed to?

I should be running home as fast as possible right now, but it’s as if my feet are filled with lead.

I couldn’t run if I tried because I am aching for the monster to uncurl its claws. As his teeth sink into my neck, I cry out as a flash of pain stuns me and as he sucks, my heart beats like a drum, announcing my foolish decision to the world.

He isn’t soft and definitely not careful as his teeth graze my skin and his fingers tighten on my hair.

He holds me so I can’t move and as my hands are bound behind my back, I am at his mercy and really should seek therapy for my decision when this is done.

His other hand moves between my legs and presseshard against my clit and I cry out for a different reason this time as a fresh burst of heated lust spreads through to my core.

I am experiencing so many emotions at once as he bites hard and then distracts me by teasing my sex to bend to his will.

As he moves his lips, he trails kisses down my back, his fingers spreading my pussy wide, his cock pressing at the opening. He grasps my bound wrists and pulls me roughly against him and at the same time, he impales me on his rigid cock.

He forces me against the window and pushes in hard, faster, holding my bound wrists as he fucks me hard from behind. It’s as if he is using me for his own personal gratification. He captured me and this is his punishment.

There is no love in this, no tenderness or desire. Just rough fucking with no emotion at all.

He pulls out and I gasp at the sudden emptiness and he hisses, “Are you done yet?”

“No.” My voice shakes as it gives him permission to ruin me and I cry out as he hauls me over his shoulder.

“Right answer.” He growls as he strides from the room, my pussy drenching his skin as it weeps for release.

I sense we enter another room and note the soft sheets beneath my back as he tosses me down onto what must be his bed.
