“Too late. I already have.”

So have I.

It took everything in her power to remain strong. She wanted to cry in his arms and admit everything she knew to him. But how would that help? He would work entirely too hard to keep her alive, only to be destroyed when he failed. The future could not be altered. No one knew that better than Eva.

“I don’t think you understand.” She looked away from him, unable to look into his crystallizing eyes any longer. She was about to break, and if she did, he would see right through her lies.

“I understand fine enough. I’m far from an idiot. I know you want me. Why you’re denying it is beyond me. But I’m already decided on the matter. You arenotto leave my side.” A low, threatening rumble built up somewhere deep within his throat.

Still refusing to look at him she asked, “And what do you plan to do to keep me around? Chain me to the bed?” She wryly asked.

“If I have to.” Hi dark words chilled her to the bone. He was serious. “I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you until you realize what we have between us is real.”

She already knew it was real. It was the realest feeling she ever knew. But how could she admit it to him knowing it would only break his heart more after she was died?

She refused to give him hope that the two of them could have a future together. It wasn’t possible. She cared too much for him to pretend it was. He could never know how she truly felt about him.

Her love for him would die with her, forever remaining a secret only she would know.

Chapter Forty-Seven

Eva Maas

“You can’t imprison me,” Eva told him, continuing on with her charade. “I won’t allow it.”

“And how do you intend to stop me?” In a show of strength, he rolled on top of her, pinning her hands above her head. His eyes grew dark, anguish spilling from his features. “You can’t. Youwon’t.”

She was at his mercy, her strength no match for his. They both knew it.

Despite everything she claimed a moment ago, a desperate need for him aroused within her that she couldn’t hide.

He sensed it, a deliciously sinful grin revealing itself. He pressed his hips forward, his hardened shaft rubbing against her bare stomach, as she was still unclothed from their earlier activities.

It took everything in her to hold back a whimper.

He knew she was holding back. “We both know how much you need me.” He started maneuvering his slick shaft down her stomach until it comfortably rested between her legs, pulsating against her swollen clit. “Maybe I should bite you again to remind you?” His burning eyes focused on her wetness, his fangs growing in size. “I told you I wouldn’t because I didn’t want to weaken you.” The tip of his cock slipped down to her opening, but he didn’t shove himself inside her. Instead, he let it rest there, teasing her.Tauntingher.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

Prick.

“Darius…”She quivered with need.

“But now you’ve given me no choice. Ihaveto weaken you. I can’t have you running away, can I?”

She cursed herself for being so turned on by this. Unable to help herself, she began to rock her hips, grinding them against his tip. Despite everything, she needed him inside her. She couldn’t get enough of him.

“Darius,please.”

“I’ll suck and fuck you until you never think to deny me again.”

He was proving he could very well make her lose control whenever he wanted to.

And she was loving every second of it.

Lust for him dominating her actions, she didn’t think twice before asking, “Is that a promise?”

A devilish grin spread across lips. Then, he bucked his hips forward, his entire length plunging deep into her.
