Her eyelids flutter as she looks back up at me. “I… I think I love you, Mordecai. I’ve never said that to anyone before. Not in this way.”

I cup her face in my hands and press a long lingering kiss to her lips. “I love you so fucking much, Lib. You lit a fire in me that I never knew could burn so fucking hot.” I kiss her neck, rubbing the tip of my nose across her skin as I make my way down to her shoulders.

She makes a cute little noise that sounds like a sigh mixed with a whimper. “No one treats me the way the three of you do. You see me, challenge me, and make me feel worthy of love.I’ve never felt that before. There’s this warm tingling in my belly every time I look at each of you.”

I’m obsessed with this woman. Utterly and completely fucking obsessed. “Just in your belly?” I tease.

Her cheeks redden. Did I just make Libra Thorn blush?

She slides her hand down my torso, taking her time as she fingers every muscle in my abdomen. “You know what you fucking do to me, Mordecai. The tingling iseverywhere.”

My cock springs to life, tenting my sweatpants. I tug her even closer so that her hips are pressed against mine.So that she can feel how fucking hard I am for her. “Baby girl,” I breathe out. “Touch me…Please.”

Her breath quickens when she dips her fingers inside my waistband. The heat between my thighs becomes an inferno as I feel her palm against my shaft. She wraps her fingers around it and squeezes. “This belongs to me.”

A few drops of pre cum leak out as I sway my hips toward her. “Always. I want you to mark me, baby girl. Carve your name into me the way you did to Raithe and Fabien.”

She lets out a little whimper as my cock grows even harder in her delicate hand. “I was afraid to… I didn’t think you wanted that.”

I take her bottom lip between my teeth and give it a soft nip. “I want it, Lib. All of it. Claim me.Own me. Mark my flesh so the whole world knows I belong to you.”

She nods and kisses me on the neck. “Lay back.”

A spasm rips through my core as I do as she says. I let her take control, basking in the glow of her dominance as she slides my sweatpants down and off. My cock stands at attention, swollen and slick with sweat.

I give the tip a light pinch, milking more of that thick pre cum out. She lets me paint her lips with it. I smear it in good, obsessed with the way it fucking glistens on her.

She laps it up with her tongue. “I love the way you taste.”

This sends another ripple of tingles through me. “I want to bleed and cum for you. Please.Fucking hurt me.”

Her eyes light up. She fists me possessively. “Stay hard for me.”

I lick my lips as I salivate for what she’s about to inflict on me. “That’s never going to be a problem with you, little freak.”

She reaches past me and opens the top drawer of the nightstand. The sun glints off the shiny metal of the knife as she lifts it out.

Fuck. I’m so irrationally turned on right now. I grab my balls and squeeze them as my blood pumps faster. “Mmm, fuck.”

She reaches in again and pulls out a vial of nightshade. She drinks half of it before holding it to my lips. “Share this sacrament with me.”

My belly flutters as I watch the pupils of her eyes dilate inside a glowing ring of light. “You’re my toxin, Lib. I’ll do whatever the fuck you tell me to.” I part my lips and let her pour the bitter liquid down my throat.

I draw in a sharp breath as it burns my insides. But then the euphoria sets in—a high that sends chills across my skin, tingling every crevice of my body. And all I want to do is drown in her essence. I want to bathe in her cum and saliva and blood.

I wrap my hand around her slender throat, knowing that I can crush it if I want to. I’m aroused by the power I hold. “For every cut that you make, I’m going to squeeze harder. I want you breathless and dizzy by the time you finish marking me. And then I’m going to make you cum so fucking hard, you won’t remember where you are.”

She pulls her tank top down to her waist, showing off her swollen nipples and the silver rings that adorn them. I sit up and roll my tongue over each one. “Cut me, baby girl.” I scoot backagainst the headboard and pull her in between my legs so I can keep my hand around her throat.

She gasps. “Too tight…”

I smirk and put the knife in her hand. “Better hurry then.” There’s something so raw and primal about letting her mutilate me while she can barely breathe. She could black out at any moment with a blade on my dick. It’s a fucking rush unlike any other.

Her nipples pebble under my command. She licks her lips and grabs my cock. I almost cum at the first incision. I have to clench my ass cheeks together just to keep from losing control. She drags the tip of the knife across my shaft, thrusting it in deep as she carves an L.

“Fuck,” I rasp. The burn feels so fucking good. I tighten my grip on her throat and she almost gags. “That’s my baby girl. Claim what’s fucking yours.”

Another spasm almost shatters me as she continues etching her beautiful name into my flesh. I cup my balls with my free hand, massaging them between my fingers to counteract the pain. “Mmm, I want to crawl inside you and fucking eat my way out.” I lean my head against the wall and close my eyes as I break out into a cold sweat. My body’s in shock and the toxin from the nightshade has all my senses heightened.
