Then again, the dangerous side of him always drew me in like a moth to a flame. I’d rather burn than turn away from him.

As a shudder ran through him, he released his harsh grip on my hair, and his fingers vanished. “You need to run.”

I licked my lips while my pulse thundered as intensely as the aching in my center. “I told you I wasn’t?—”

“Run!” Scarlet flashed over his irises again, and every hair on my nape stood on end.

Chapter

Four

Fane wanted me to run.But there was no doubt in my mind that he would chase me. Whether that ended in him trying to kill me or giving me that delicious pleasure-pain I craved so deeply wasn’t clear.

I spun on my heels and darted through the forest, my blood boiling and flesh on fire. He had very little control, and I should be terrified. And yet, I was so enthralled, so damn addicted, all I could think about was him catching me and ravaging my body any way he wanted.

“I know my little rebel so well.” His seductive voice sounded behind me.

Barely a minute passed before his formidable presence closed in.

His arm came around my waist, and he tackled me to the ground, caging me in so he took the brunt of the hit. My heart treated my ribs like a battering ram, threatening to pulverize each one into dust.

Fane’s scent penetrated my lungs, and the forest spun as the swell of desire pulsating through the bond hit me in the gut. A moan burst out of my mouth from that alone.

Still, I wouldn’t make it easy for him.

I kicked him off and scrambled out from beneath him only to have his hard fingers coil around my ankle.

“You’re not going anywhere.” He dragged me back, my talons sprouting and digging into the soil in vain. When he flipped me onto my back and lowered his head toward mine, in his eyes reflected my own slitted pupils.

The Infernal Sol wasn’t responsible for my demonic features. That was all Fane’s bite.

He loomed over me like a threatening tidal wave about to crash down. “Such a pretty little beast.” The rough tips of his fingers skimmed over my lips. “And you’re all mine to ruin.”

My jaw snapped, and I bit his finger, blood dropping over my tongue. “I’m capable of doing my own damage.”

His feral smile and the growl building in his chest had flames licking at my body. “We’ll see who submits first.”

Fane fell on me, his mouth sealing to mine and destroying any sense I had left. At least he wanted to unravel me more than he wanted to kill me.

For now, anyway.

His hips forced my legs to part, the tip of his heavy length settling right against my entrance. I wanted him inside of me more than I wanted my next breath.

His low chuckle told me he knew how close I was to begging.

Bastard.

“Stop teasing me, Maverick.” I rubbed against him, spreading my arousal.

As the scent of it exploded in the air, Fane’s nostrils flared, his jaw clenched, and a luminescent sheen coated his irises. “If any other man ever gets to see you like this, smells this, Iwillrip his throat out.”

“You act like I’m some huge flirt.” My talons skimmed down his spine until my palms planted on each of his ass cheeks. “I’ve made it perfectly clear that you’re the only beast I want.”

“And it better fucking stay that way, fiera mika.”

Without warning, Fane thrusted forward, burying himself into me in one swift go.

A mixture of relief and pain to finally have him sheathed inside of me swelled, and then the pleasure followed as he moved over me.
