Holy fuck. Is thisturning me on?
I can’t even reach for myself. His grip is iron, my wrists caged in one hand while the other lands another stinging slap.
“Pick a safe word,” he says low, voice brushing over my skin. “If you don’t, I’ll choose one for you.”
My jaw tightens. “What, you think I’m fragile?”
He just laughs under his breath, teeth scraping lightly at my ear. “No. I think you’re stubborn. But if you want me to stop, you saymercy.”
“Fine,” I mutter, refusing to give him the satisfaction of more. “Whatever.”
“Count,” he breathes against my ear, his voice low enough to curl in my spine.
“Asshole. I’m not doing that.”
He hums, almost amused, before delivering a blow so hard heat flares all the way up my back.
“Count,”he orders again, his hand gripping and kneading my ass possessively. “Or you won’t get to come.”
The next slap has me gasping, my body betraying me.
“One,” I grind out, hating how wrecked I already sound.
He doesn’t stop. The rhythm builds.Two. Four. Seven.Every number makes my voice rougher, my cock harder, my brain hazier. By the time I hitfifteen, my breath’s coming ragged. Bytwenty, my legs feel like they’re going to give out. Bythirty-five, I’m swaying into him like I can’t keep upright without his grip.
And then—
Fifty.
The word comes out broken, half a gasp, half a plea. My body slumps back into his. My wrists are still locked tight behind me, but his free handfinallywraps around my cock.
One stroke. That’s all it takes.
I come hard—so hard it steals the air from my lungs—spurting over his hand, over myself, shameless and shaking while he holds me there, murmuring low in my ear like I belongexactlywhere I am.
“You did well,amore mio,” he whispers, teeth grazing my earlobe.
“Now tell me. I want thetruth.What do you need from me?”
I tremble, almost moaning from the intensity. “Ruin me, Nico… tear me apart,make me yours.”
His mouth claims mine in a bruising kiss, and I fall into it—intohim,into the heat, into the darkness.
CHAPTER 24 – INTO THE DARKNESS
NICO
“Ruin me, Nico… tear me apart, make me yours forever.”
Those words are like a red hot brand against my skin. I growl, my cock throbbing in my pants. I pin him to the bed, my hands gripping his hips, hauling him flush against me. He squirms, his body arching into mine, desperate for more.
"You think you can hide from me,piccolino?" I growl, my teeth grazing the shell of his ear. "I won’t let you."
He shudders beneath me, his breath coming in short, sharp gasps. I drag my hand up under his shirt, my fingers splayed across his bare skin, feeling the rapid pulse of his heart. I trace every inch of him, my touch leaving goosebumps in its wake.
He tries to twist away, but I clamp his wrists above his head, holding him down. I grind my hips against his, my cock pressing into his thigh. He whimpers, his body trembling beneath me.
"Say it,"I rasp. "Tell me you want me. Tell me you love me while I make you lose your damn mind.”
