Page 154 of At the Edge of Surrender

A tower of menace and strength.

Lust oozed from him, a darkened cloud that saturated the air, though he wore a casual smirk like he wasn’t shaking with the same thing as me.

My eyes dragged lower, over the black tee that stretched tight across his massive chest, the fabric clinging to the defined muscles that rippled underneath. His abdomen jerked and ticked, and I could see the press of the enormous bulge in his jeans.

My mouth went dry, and my throat closed off at the same errant vision I’d been struck with earlier when I’d been talking with Charleigh and Raven.

Me on my knees with Kane towering over me.

A low growl rolled in his chest. “You shouldn’t look at me that way, Emery.”

My tongue stroked out. “What way am I looking at you?”

“Like you want to surrender.”

“Maybe that’s exactly what I want to do.”

Just for now.

Just for this moment.

“Don’t think you’re quite ready for what I have in store for you.”

It was a promise.

A threat.

Pure, unmitigated domination.

His voice deepened further. “Now let’s get you dressed, and I want you to go in your room and close the door, then I’m going to fuck my hand to fantasies of exactly that…sinking my cock so deep in your sweet little pussy that you’ll never be the same. Marking myself so deep in you there will be no unwriting me. So deep you’ll be aching so bad when I’m not there that you’ll be begging for it night and day.”

“I thought you told me I wouldn’t have to beg?” There I went, asking for the breaking, but right then, I really wanted to be.

Broken by this man.

I wanted to be completely undone.

He reached out and dragged the tip of his index finger along my jaw. “Oh, Little Warrior, I’ll be more than happy to give it to you. But first, you’re going to have to realize you’re mine.”

He took a step back like there was a chance he could cut off our connection.

But it burned too bright.

Its pull overpowering.

Inhaling a shattered breath, I slowly slipped off the chair and onto my knees, staring up at him as I did.

“I want to be yours. Like this. Just for tonight. Let me taste you the way you tasted me.”

I wanted to experience him like this.

On my knees for him.

Because for the first time in my life, it was where I wanted to be.

Kane’s entire being twitched.

His aura surrounding.
