His penetrating glare studied my face and when he seemed satisfied that I wasn’t about to burst into flames, he unfolded his arms and placed his hands on the surface of either side of my hips. He leaned forward, staring straight into my soul with a wicked glint in his blood-red eyes.

Ah, ball sack. I’d just given him full control over my fucking brain.

‘Good luck to him.’Rue chuckled.

My heart sped up as he licked his lower lip, his gaze dropping to my own lips and causing a flutter of desire in my lower belly.

“Who is the best sex of your life?”

The serum set to work immediately before I even knew what I was admitting. “You. Without a doubt.”

I slammed my hand over my mouth as he threw his head back and roared with laughter. My fist flew at his chest. “Alright, big head. I am sure that has inflated your ego tenfold. You are such a dick.”

“Best dick you’ve ever had, though, right?” He smirked.

I wanted to punch the cocky smile off his face. Instead, I answered without thinking.

“Yes.”Bloody hell.I was no longer in control of my mouth, which caused me to press my lips together to avoid the next words leaving my lips, but that serum wasn’t having any of it. “I love how your cock feels inside me and the way you fuck. Especially with those piercings. You’re the first pierced dick I’ve ever had, and I don’t think I could ever enjoy a normal dick again.”

An aggressive growl rocketed through the air as he grabbed my throat and a whimper of need fired from my parted lips in response.

“Let’s rephrase that, shall we? You will never enjoy another dick again, because the only dick you will ever have in your tight little cunt is mine.”

‘Oh, my godddddddd. That mouth.’

His eyes flashed with dangerous desire as he squeezed my throat a little tighter, causing me to smirk in response.

“You like that, love? You like my hand wrapped around your throat, knowing I’d rather kill you and then myself than ever let another man have what’s mine?”

“Yes,” I strained against his grip. “I fucking love it. And I love it when you choke me during sex. I love the adrenaline and fear of feeling completely at your mercy, knowing you could easily kill me, but you won’t.”Woah, where did that come from?

“Fuck,” he groaned. He stuck his tongue out and lapped it over mine in an open-mouthed kiss that was so fucking hot. I was ready to say the hell to this truth bollocks and just fuck me again already. “You’re so fucking perfect for me. My filthy little mate.”

He released my throat and placed his hands back on the counter. I hissed with frustration at him edging me like that and pouted with a sharp glare which made him chuckle evilly. The delicious sound only caused more torture for my needy pussy. “There’s my brat. Desperate for my cock. But I’m not missing this opportunity to get more brutally honest intel from you.”

“You are such an asshole,” I grumbled, leaning back on my hands to keep away from him because I did not trust myself around this man.

“True.” He smiled, flashing those vicious white fangs. As I watched him think about his next question, his smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. “If you truly saw just how dark I can be, would you run?”

The vulnerability in his eyes made me reach forward and stroke my fingers down the side of his face. “No. I told you. I’m in this. I want to know you. Every part of you and that includes your darkest parts. Don’t hide any part of yourself from me. I can handle it.”

The surprise on his face nearly ripped a hole in my heart. Knowing there was no way I could lie, he was accepting it. Even though I had meant for that potion to be for him, I was starting to realise this wasn’t a bad idea. He needed to learn to trust what I said was true.

“I don’t want to hide anything from you,” he mumbled, stepping back to lean against the counter behind him. “And now you are dreaming of my past. I guess you’ll see it all. But trusting anyone with my secrets is hard, Ilaria. It hasn’t worked well for me in the past.”

“I know.”

“And I’ve done things,” he continued, lifting his gaze to look at me. I swallowed the lump in my throat and then inhaled sharply. “I’ve done terrible things. Unspeakable things. You’ll hate me when you find out.”

“I won’t.” I shook my head. “I know you’ve been through hell. Every time I look into your eyes, I see it. You have no humanity, Luka. Damn, if I turned my humanity off and gave full control to my vampire side, I’d do unspeakable things, too.”

He shook his head. “That’s not—” his words got lodged in his throat and he clenched his fists in frustration. He eyed the potion bottle next to me and I reached for it slowly, offering it to him.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he reached forward to take it. I quickly lifted it to my lips and held a mouthful of the sweet syrup before grabbing the back of his neck and crashing my lips against his. He groaned when I transferred the potion into his mouth through our kiss. Was it an excuse to kiss him? Hell yes.

I pulled back as he gulped it down and stared into my eyes. I smiled.

“It might not work,” he husked against my lips.
