Page 69 of Ruthless Oath

I lowered my face to hers and yanked her hair so that she had to look at me. “It’s not your job to protect me. Do you understand?”

“Why are you so angry?” Her beautiful brown eyes had lost that confident spark I had become accustomed to. “Why can’t you understand that I want to help you?”

“Because that’s not how this works.” I flipped her onto her stomach, gripped her hips, and arched her backside in the air. “I told you I didn’t want to have this conversation. I warned you to stop, but you can’t fucking listen. You’re going to learn to obey me.”

“What are you doing?” She glanced over her shoulder.

“Showing you who is in charge.” I slapped her ass. “My way.”

“Hey!” She scooted away from me, but I was quicker. I wrapped my arm around her waist and brought her back to me, pushing her down on the bed.

“You’re not leaving me.” I raised her hips. “The fact that you would suggest it twenty minutes after I fucked you is insulting.”

“I didn’t mean to insult you. I was trying to help you.”

I smacked her ass again, this time hard enough to sting my palm.

“Stop doing that!” She wiggled beneath me.

“I’ll stop when you learn your lesson.” I struck her again, leaving a pretty pink hue in my wake. I unleashed on her sweet ass a few more times, each strike harder than the last. “I showed mercy on you during your first time. Don’t expect that same courtesy this time.”

I positioned myself behind her and jolted my hips forward, entering her fast and without control.

“Oh!” She propelled forward, but I held her steady as I pounded into her.

She clenched around me, pushing against my forward motion and meeting me thrust for thrust. She stretched her arms out, flailing them as I relentlessly fucked her.

The thought of her leaving to protect me enraged me more than it should have, but there was no way she was abandoning me. Not after all I sacrificed for her. If she wanted to be with me, she would learn her place. I didn’t need her help.

Each time I bumped my pelvis forward, she whimpered, but she never asked me to stop. She took all I gave her. My cock slid in and out of her wet pussy with little effort. My balls ached for release, but I couldn’t get enough of her. I didn’t want this encounter to end. Us to end.

I hadn’t realized the control I had shown during our first encounter or how much I had wanted to let loose on her until right now.

Flipping her over, I reentered her with an unbridled force. She gazed up at me with confusion. Did she expect me to go easy on her?

“I told you being with me wouldn’t be like anything you ever imagined,” I said.

Each breath she drew was short and labored as she looked at me through her tangled hair. Her cheeks were flushed and her brow sweaty, but she didn’t complain as I gave her all of me. My balls slapped against her and begged for relief as I drove into her tight, wet sex.

“Being with me is going to be complicated and harsh.” I lowered myself onto her and pushed on her knees, trapping her legs on either side of me so she couldn’t move.

“I…” She held onto my shoulders, clawing at my skin. “I’m going to…”

The warmth of her climax washed over me, fueling my own desire and sending me into a long, hard orgasm. The release I craved shot out of me and into her, once again marking her as mine.

No matter how many cars Collins vandalized, he would never experience the sheer pleasure I had with this gorgeous woman who had somehow found a way into my world. She could infuriate me and make me want to strangle her, but she also challenged me in ways that no one else ever had.

No way would I ever let her leave me.

Her heart raced fast enough for it to pulse against my chest. The closeness of the moment was unfamiliar but no less satisfying. Could she feel it too?

“I’m sorry,” she whispered.

“You don’t have to apologize.” I released her from my hold. “You just have to understand that what you suggested is not a solution. Your leaving will never be the solution.”

“Okay,” she said. “I was trying to help.”

“Don’t help.”
