I shake my head. “I’m sure the little handy-dandy LDR notebook says it changes everything. I know how important being in compliance with The League bylaws is to you.”

“Which is precisely why I needed time to make a plan to circumvent the rules.”

My eyes widen, my brows shooting up to my hairline. “You wanna break the rules?”

“Circumvent. Get around the ones that I don’t like.”

“That’s the same thing, Holden.”

He shrugs. “The point is, Thea, my match is just an annoyance I’ll have to deal with at mandatory events and nothing more. There is nothing she can do or offer me that will ever compare to what I already have. I don’t want someone else’s fear. Your screams are the only thing that will ever satisfy me. Stealing your breath is the only thing that resuscitates me.”

He steps forward with every declaration. “Your mouth, your cunt, are the only things I want dripping around my cock.Yourholes were made for me to fuck savagely.”

He stops in front of me, grabs my face, and squeezes my jaw, his nails digging into my cheeks. His other hand unfastens his jeans and shoves them down his hips. “I think we should have a demonstration now, don’t you? A quick little reminder of why you’re my perfect little toy. On your knees.”

He doesn’t wait for me to comply. He shoves me to the ground, my knees crashing against the tiled floor. Holden’s quiet intensity always disarms me. He’s talking about hunting me. He wants to face fuck me, right now, but the sincerity in his voice and the uncertainty in his eyes as he stares down at me, have me feeling gooey inside. Horny, but gooey.

“You’re the only one that wakes and quiets my beast, Thea.” He trails his fingers down my face, presses the tip of his cock against my mouth and shoves inside.

“There’s only you.” He whispers before fucking my face so roughly, my lips split and my teeth scrape against him. I can’t settle in enough to find a good rhythm. All I can do is kneel here before him and let him use me for his pleasure.

Holden stares down at me. I know what’s coming next. I take one last breath through my nose. It’ll be the only air I get until he lets me breathe again.

Staring into his stormy irises, his groan is the last thing I hear before darkness claims me. My vision returns with sound rushing through my ears. I sputter, my throat constricting as I try to swallow faster than he empties down my throat.

He helps me to my feet, and swipes his thumb along the corner of my mouth, shoving the remnants of his release back inside. He softly pecks my lips. “No match can ever compare to you.”

We exit the classroom to find Finn and Pax waiting in the hall. Finn pulls me into a hug and says, “Someone was having fun without me.”

“Jealous?”

“Not even a little. I know my time is coming.”

I poke him in the side. “You hope your time is coming. I haven’t decided that it is yet.”

I untangle myself from his arms and head towards the door. He calls out to me, “See you soon, Pet.”

Finn

“What’s going on over there?” Pax asks as we approach The Circle.

That’s the same question I have as I watch Thea standing talking to Malachi Taft. This has to be some type of challenge because there’s no way she’s interested in anything he has to say.

I drift closer to hear what they’re talking about. “I think it’ll be fun for us to go together.”

Is Malachi asking my girl out? With me standing right here? I sidle up to Thea and ask, “Go where?”

“What’s up Finn?” He jerks his chin then goes back to hitting on her. “So, what do you think? It’ll be your first LDR event, and since you don’t have a mentor yet, you should really attend with someone who can walk you through it.”

This is not fucking happening. “She’s already got an escort.”

He finally turns to look at me. “Oh yeah, who?”

“The Trium.”

He chuckles. “Really? Have you finally decided you’re above league law? I think the high council would have something to say about you attending an official event with someone other than your match.” He grins at me. “But don’t worry, I’ll make it a memorable night for Thea.”
