Page 80 of Shadow Bonds

I bite my lip, thinking of all the other ways he can make me feel good, and his eyes draw to it, darkening with heat.

Without warning, he leans down and kisses me, a long languid teasing kiss that makes me want to consume him.

He pulls away far too soon, licking his lips and staring at me like he’s lost for words.

“I can feel you. Feel your desire,” he groans low and husky. “Block me out, Sena or I’m going to have to kill everyone other than my bond when I make you scream my name.”

I shudder, and he groans again, dragging me closer to his body like he can’t get close enough.

It takes longer to focus with him wrapped around me, but I eventually shut him out.

Closing his eyes, he presses a kiss to my head. I listen as his breathing slowly evens out, along with his heartbeat. But even listening to the slow, steady beat doesn’t help me fall asleep.

My mind races from the heat of his body to the thought of tomorrow and the worries and fears that come along with it.

I feel like I’ve only drifted off when I hear a low, familiar giggle, and my gut churns, telling me something isn’t right, instantly waking me up.

I listen out for where the sound came from and quickly figure out it’s coming from the bathroom.

Slipping out from Theon’s tangled limbs, I make sure he and the others are asleep before following the sound.

Using the small half wall to conceal me, I watch on as Arabella drags her eyes down a male’s body. He has his shirt off and looks like he was about to head into the shower. I’dturn aback around and let them do whatever the fuck they had planned if not for the look in his eyes as he stares at her.

There’s nothing but hate and disgust in his gaze. The same as Seth’s.

But not only that, there’s actual tears forming too.

“You killed him. Why the fuck would I want anything to do with you?!” he says.

Arabella smiles at him, a cruel smile that makes me want to punch her in the face. “And? We both know I can get away with anything I want. I already have. So, unless you want another of your friends to die, you’re going to do exactly as I say.” Her hand starts to move lower, and I see red.

I’m in front of her before I know it, grabbing her wrist and twisting it, snapping it with a crack. She opens her mouth to scream when I punch her straight in the nose, hearing another lovely crack.

She falls back to the ground, blood pouring from her now crooked, broken nose.

“You’ll fucking pay for that,” she whispers, a venomous glare on her face.

“Here’s what’s going to happen,” I tell her getting down to her eye level. “You’re going to stay away from anyone that doesn’t want your disgusting hands on them. If you don’t, I’m going to break every fucking bone in your body. And if that isn’t enough of a warning, I’ll start carving away at that face you think is pretty.”

“You should’ve fucking died in the red zone,” she grits out, looking furious.

I freeze and narrow my eyes on her. “It was you.”

“You have no clue who I am,” she warns, but I’m well past fearing her or any other braindead female that thinks they can fuck me over again.

“I couldn’t give a flying fuck who you are.” I move forward and break her other wrist.

The male moves to the side of me, stopping me from going any further with a look. “She’s a companion for multiple Shadows including the general.” He glares at her. “She can’t be hurt by us, and she knows it.”

Arabella gasps in pain, holding her wrists close to her body. “You’ll pay for this.”

Instead of listening, I punch her again, “Next time I won’t stop.”

Her head rolls to the side, and she passes out.

I get to my feet, and the male looks at me with a frown.

“She’ll come after you for this,” he warns.
