When she eventually relaxed again, he gave the chain a gentle tug, moving the wand down to her clit. She moaned in relief, throwing her head back on the pillow.

“I love seeing you like this,” he told her as she writhed, her hips rolling in endless movements. Kate’s gasps became fully-fledged moans, her voice breaking at the imminent arrival of her climax. “Vulnerable and desperate andmine.”

“I’m going to come!”

He pulled the magic wand away instantly.

“No!” she cried. “More! Please. Please, Warren, I was so close.”

Anger hardened his jaw. “Tell me you deserve unconditional love.”

The twitch at the edge of her lip betrayed her emotion. “No.”

Furious, he pressed the magic wand back against her clit, leaving it until the last second until he pulled away.

“Warren!” she sobbed.

“Tell me you deserve unconditional love and I’ll let you come.”

“I can’t,” she sniffed, blowing out a shaky breath.

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t! Even my own father doesn’t want me, Warren. You should have heard him that day with Brax. I worked foryearsto help him but I never earned his love. I was never… never good enough for him, no matter what I did.”

Tears tracked their way down to her hairline, but he held her focus. “Eyes on me, kitten. From the moment we met,Ihave loved you unconditionally. Back then, you were the little sister I always wanted, and then the day Brax brought you here,” his eyelids fell as he rested their foreheads together. “When I first saw you, I rebelled against it, thispowerthat you have over me. This maddening, bewildering, utterly incomprehensive pull that your body has over mine. But in the weeks since then, kitten, I’ve fallen in love with you. I don’t just love you anymore, I’minlovewith you. Have you ever known me to be a liar?”

Kate’s eyes were as round as dinner plates. “No,” she whispered.

“Then tell me that you’re loved unconditionally. Tell me that you deserve to be loved unconditionally.”

There was a brief flicker of doubt before she answered. “I’m loved unconditionally.”

“And the rest?”

“I deserve to be loved unconditionally,” she croaked.

“Good girl,” he smiled, rewarding her by removing the nipple clamps. “Again.”

Her cry of pain was music to his ears, but it wasn’t the response he was looking for. “I deserve to be loved unconditionally.”

He pressed the wand back against her clit. “And who loves you unconditionally?”

“You do—oh!” Kate’s brows knotted together as the orgasm he’d denied her returned with a vengeance.

Warren grinned as her climax seized her in its clutches, her legs shaking uncontrollably through her cries, but the gush of liquid squirting onto the bed was a surprise. “That’s it, kitten, you’re so fucking beautiful when you come. I will give you the sun and the moon and the stars becausethey are what you deserve.”

Her eyes opened just enough for him to hold her gaze, his chest heaving with pride and love.

With her energy exhausted and her orgasm ebbing away, Warren pounced, freeing his erection and sliding it home in a single thrust. He slanted his lips over hers, groaning as her limbs wrapped around him. “You’re perfect, do you understand?”

“I understand,” she replied.

“I’m never going to let you go,” he snarled, frantically chasing his own pinnacle, devouring her moans and replacing them with his own. “You’re mine now, kitten, whether you like it or not.”

“I like it. I love it.”

His hips worked furiously, audibly pounding into her, following some primal rhythm older than mankind itself, until finally he exploded, groaning his pleasure into her neck. “And I love you,” he choked as her pussy drained him. “I always have, and I always will.”
