“You sound so sure.”

“And you sound suspicious. Are you going to read into everything I say?”

“Probably,” I admit as we reach the top of the stairs.

She heads down the hallway to the spare bedroom and enters without looking back at me. I follow in after, scanning the room for danger.

“There’s no one in here,” she says when I kneel to look beneath the bed. “If there were a psycho killer hiding, he’d have stabbed your eye out by now.”

With a snort, I climb back to my feet. I make my way to the wardrobe and throw the doors open. A rail of black dresses greets me. I part them, sliding each one aside. “You underestimate me, little witch.”

As I turn around, I find her watching me with a quirked brow and twitching lips. I do a double take. “What?”

“Nothing.” She sits down on the bed with her back to me and her hands in her lap.

Silence falls on the room, and I hesitate for a moment. I’m not good with situations such as these. I’m suspicious of her, and yet… she seems so lost.

I slowly round the bed and come to stand in front of her. Tears bead on her lashes, but they don’t fall. She looks tired, defeated, and broken. “What are you thinking about?”

Her glassy brown eyes flick up, and she looks at me until each hard thud of my heart beats against my ribs with a ferocity that leaves me breathless and unable to look away.

“I’m thinking I would like to stop hurting for a moment.” Her words are accompanied by the brush of her fingers on the inside of my thigh. “I’d like to lose myself.”

“Lose yourself?”

Higher and higher, her soft touch travels.

“Yes.”

I grip her wrist just as she’s about to touch my lace panties, but she wrenches free and smooths her fingers over the fabric, teasing my most sensitive part. I inhale a breath, and my knees buckle as pleasure tightens my stomach.

Snaking her other hand around my waist, she pulls me down on her lap so I’m straddling her. She moves my panties aside and slides her fingers over my pussy, breathing out in my ear, “So smooth.”

Pleasure sparks between my legs—hot, tingling bursts.

“And you’re getting so wet,” she whispers, teasing my clit before gliding her fingers to my soaking entrance and easing them inside.

“Is this how it used to be between us?” I ask when she slides them back out—wet and slick—and shoves them back inside.

“No.” Her mouth finds mine, and she bites down on my lip. “You seduced me... but I can get used to this.” She takes me again and again, and it’s not long before I roll my hips to meet her savage thrusts.

“You’re not playing fair,” I pant, throwing my head back as she hits a magical spot inside me.

I’ll fall apart on her hand in record time if she keeps fucking me like this. I don’t even know why I’m this pent-up. It’s not the first time I’ve been with a girl.

“This is Hell. We don’t play fair here, remember? You once told me a very long time ago to put myself first for once. That’s what I’m doing now.” She enunciates it with a deep thrust. “I’m fucking my favorite pussy and making it drip all over my hand.”

My wings explode behind me as my teeth elongate. “Yourfavoritepussy?”

Her smile turns wolfish, and she slides her fingers out from beneath my skirt, sucks them clean, then rams them back inside me. “My favorite pussy.”

I’m overtaken by anger, possessiveness, and the urge to dominate. I wrestle her to the bed, but she doesn’t go down easily. We’re a snarling, snapping, and growling tangle of limbs and wings on the bed.

“The only pussy you want is mine.” I tear her dress off her body like a feral beast. Hell knows I am one right now.

She plants her foot on my stomach and kicks me off before launching herself at me and straddling my waist. “You haven’t wanted me since I arrived back, so don’t let that ego of yours blind you. There’s plenty of willing pussy at this academy. If you push me away, I won’t go thirsty.” She tears my dress down the middle, but before she can rip it all the way, I roll us over and sink my teeth into her breast.

And like a good little girl, she grows still immediately, knowing full well I could injure her if she fights while my teeth are buried in her delicate skin.
