His kiss was feather soft, his breath hot against my skin and he looked up at me with a possessive fire. My mind flashed back to what he’d done when someone touched his property and trying to force my fear down was nearly a physical endeavor.
A shiver wracked my body as his fingers ran along my skin and his hands gently pulled my legs apart. I didn’t resist as his hands pushed my thighs open and his mouth continued kissing along my body. He stopped. I looked down and saw him staring hard at the scars above my pussy. I could feel his hands trembleand I looked down at him and saw the smoldering disgust and rage turning his eyes into storm clouds.
He looked up at me and I saw something I hadn’t seen in his eyes before; compassion. He looked back down and his finger traced those scars slowly and gently, following his fingers with his lips, barely touching me. It was so intimate I gasped in a breath as desire raced through me. Then his mouth came down between my legs and found my clit.
I hadn’t had sex since the last time in the forest with Graham. I barely even pleasured myself because of the shame I felt. So when Kraven licked me, I moaned and my head fell back, my legs already shaking as the sensations rushed through me. He parted me with his fingers, running them up my center so he could access me better and I gasped. A moment later two of his fingers slid inside me and I tensed, afraid he was going to hurt me.
My breath caught, but he looked up at me.
“Remember what I said,” he murmured.
I nodded quickly and took a breath, forcing myself to relax. He slowly rubbed his fingers inside me and soon I couldn’t help but lose myself to the pleasure rolling through me. I quickly became soaking wet. I was panting and nearing the edge but I balked.
I wanted to tell him to stop but I also didn’t want him to hurt me. My mind was once again fighting my body but I didn’t want to be trapped behind my own walls of fear anymore. I wanted to feel again and to be able to experience the depths of my pleasure and what it felt like to come apart. I could feel him watching me as he continued, fueled by the sounds he was eliciting from me. My body was writhing on the bed, aching for the fall, fighting to let go.
When I came, I looked down at him, gripping the sheets in my hands and arching off the bed and I cried out againand again. The pleasure expanded through me, filling every part of me as I convulsed around his fingers and rode his mouth through the waves. For a blissful moment I was nothing, I was everything, I was whole.
I was dazed as I came back down and before I knew it, I felt the bed sink and he was looming over me. His hard cock pressed against me and I froze as his hips trapped me under him.
I gasped out a breath as the panic simmered beneath the surface and my hands slammed into his chest. He met my eyes as he slowly slid inside me. There was a warning there. My hands didn’t push but my fingers dug into his skin to stop them from shaking.
I flinched when I saw his hand come up but he only ran his fingers along my jaw and lowered his lips to mine.
“You feel even better than I remember, baby girl,” he murmured before kissing me. My hands slid off his chest and down his arms and as his tongue invaded my mouth, his dick buried inside me and we both groaned. He stayed still inside me, just kissing me. His kiss was all consuming, coaxing and demanding all at once and soon I was lost in it until my hands couldn’t help but run up his back and dig into his hair. I pulled him closer to me with a whimper, deepening the kiss even more until we were both gasping and he moved his hips, slowly dragging his dick in and out.
“You shatter so beautifully, darlin’,” he breathed against my lips, moving so slow I could feel all of him every time he moved.
“That’s because you’re an expert hunter,” I gasped, shocked for a moment at my teasing as it easily slipped from my mouth. I kissed under his jaw and trailed my lips down his neck. He groaned, burying his face in my hair.
“Mm except this time I’ve caught a wolf,” he breathed, his tone amused before he captured my lips in his again and soon wewere panting and drawing closer to the edge with each kiss and thrust.
His hand went down between us and he found my clit. I faltered briefly but his fingers were nothing but insistent and soon he was pulling me over the edge where once I fell, he fell too and we descended through the fire of oblivion together.
Kraven collapsed on top of me and I surprised myself when I found my arms around him, holding him there. I didn’t feel trapped and although my feelings were confusing and complicated, I let myself feel grateful for the protection he gave me tonight.
My lips were against his neck and his breath ruffled my hair as we let the fire bleed out. He kissed my neck, softly—once, twice—and his fingers tightened in my hair as though suddenly he felt he was going to lose me, then he took a breath and shifted off of me. I shivered as he slid out of me and then gasped when he pulled me into his arms.
“What are you doing?” I squeaked.
He lay on his back with his arm around me. My hand pushed against his chest, looking down at him in shock. He chuckled.
“What? I took you for a cuddler,” he said easily, running his fingers down my arm.
“I—am—” I managed. “I just didn’t take you for one.”
He pressed his fingers against my arm, encouraging me to lie down and I tentatively rested my head on his chest. HIs other hand came up and rested over mine, tangling his fingers in my own. He was silent for a time, his other hand running along my arm and my shoulder.
“Were you going to come back for me?” I asked tentatively. It had been a burning question of mine for the last six months. He was quiet for a moment and I thought I got my answer in his silence but then he spoke.
“Cooper declined my initial offer. When I got back into the country and saw in the media who you were, I tried to get you out again. Cooper said you were gone, but he didn’t tell me details.” His arms tightened around me as though he expected Cooper to burst into the room and tear me away. “I couldn’t get you out of my head and I knew it didn’t matter if I owned you or not—you were mine.”
“My antihero,” I breathed and I felt a low laugh vibrate through his chest.

Sometime later I jolted awake with a gasp. Morning sun was streaming in through my window and I clawed at the covers over me feeling restricted. I would have thought it was all a bad nightmare if not for the pleasant ache reminding me of the orgasms Kraven pulled from me in the night. I guess I dozed off and at some point he’d taken off my heels and pulled the covers over me. Kraven wasn’t in bed and I figured maybe he left.
