I only need her.

I find Pandora sitting on her bed with her knees up against her chest and her back against the headboard.

“What are you doing here?” she asks, frowning.

“You’re here.”

Placing my weapons on the table next to her bed, I pull her into my arms so she’s sitting on my lap. Her cherry scent smells like home. “I’m so sorry you heard all of that, sweetheart. You’re it for me. You know that, right? There will never be anyone else. I haven’t even thought of another female from the second I found out that you aremine. And I never will.”

“How do you know you won’t get bored years from now?” she asks me, burying her face into my neck. “What if I’m not enough for you sexually? What if all the things she said she was right about?”

Gritting my teeth, I lift her face to look at me, holding her chin between my thumb and forefinger. “You are more than enough for me. You are more than I ever imagined. I’ll spend the rest of our lives proving just how much I love you and how loyal I’ll be to you.”

“Soren—”

“I want to bond with you, Pandora. That means I want to give all of myself to you and share everything I fucking am withyou. I’ll share my magic, my body, my soul. Anything I have is yours. Do you think I’d do something to fuck that up? This is the only mouth I want,” I rasp, kissing her lips. My hand moves to possessively cup her cunt. “This is the only pussy I’ll ever want.” My other hand presses against her heart, feeling it racing. “I want all of you. I’m fucking yours, now please bemine.”

Sitting her back on the bed, I get down on my knees in front of her, doing something I’ve never done for another person in my life.

I submit to her.

Her violet eyes widen as she realizes what I’m doing.

“I’m yours to command, little witch.”

I’m giving her the most important thing in my life, aside from her.

My control.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

Pandora

Soren is kneeling before me, his gray eyes pinned on me, waiting for me to tell him what I want. I realize I need to choose to trust him and accept his past, or it’s going to eat me alive every time we run into a woman he’s fucked. Replaying the conversation in my head, Soren said all the right things to her except to call her his pet. He stood up for me and told her that under no circumstances would he be with her again. It was her words that really hit a sensitive spot for me, voicing the concerns I have deep down inside about our relationship. What if I give him all of me, and he hurts me? He’s being vulnerable with me right now, and I need to do the same in return.

Soren starts to kiss up my bare legs, starting at my calves and working his way up to my inner thighs. “What do you want, my mistress?”

Fuck, he’s really getting into this.

“I want you to stop calling all the females you’ve fuckedyourpets,” I state, pursing my lips. “Your anything. If you’re mine, you don’t get to have a fucking harem anymore, Soren. And you aren’t going to be there for them emotionally either, and you aren’t obligated to give them aftercare forever just because you were their ‘master’ for one fucking night.”

And I know that’s what he was doing, but they don’t get to have that side of him anymore.

He slides my thighs open, sliding up my dress with his warm hands, and rubs his cheek against my inner thigh.

I like him on his knees.

But I love him being the one in control.

“Get undressed and get on the bed,” I demand, and he obeys,stripping down until my eyes feast on his hard, muscular body, his warrior honed to perfection. He lays back on the bed, his hard, pierced cock jutting out proudly. Even letting me call the shots today, dominance seeps from his pores. It’s just who he is. The tension between us builds as I kneel on the bed, giving him a slow once-over but not touching him. Still, he waits patiently for my next command, resting his hands behind his head and watching me through gray hooded eyes.

He’s beautiful.

Deadly.

And all fucking mine.

And yes, it hurts that he’s given pieces of himself all over all eight kingdoms, but out of every female in any realm that exists, the fates chose me for him.
