Chapter 9

ELION

I didn't move, blink, or even breathe. I couldn't

For a full minute I was as still as a statue during a fancy exhibition, and in the next minute, I felt everything a man could possibly feel at once

I was suddenly hot and cold, amused and annoyed, conflicted and unsettled, irritated and painfully aware of her... presence

I stared down at Loretta, observing the strands of her caramel hair. It was lighter at the roots, I wondered how they'd feel wrapped around my fist

And even though I know I shouldn't look, I couldn't stop my gaze from going lower, to the place where his shirt stretched taut across her bosom

Fûck me sideways.

Those tits were begging to be fondled, played with, explored, and worshiped. They were so round and firm and perky, the wayward, dark part of my soul took rise

I reached a hand to my tie, loosening it because I couldn't breathe properly. My chest was tight, my boxer briefs were tighter, but there was only so long it could conceal my growing erection

I was getting dangerously hard with each ticking second

“What about sex?” Thank fuck I had mastered the art of sounding aloof and icy.

Loretta's eyes were expectant, and dare I say, unique. It reminded me of the blurred edge in the forest where the leaves mingle with the brown earth

The green and brown of her eyes were so ethereal that they made every other color around me less entertaining

She drew in a soft breath, crossing her hands over her midriff “You never talked about intimacy expectations in the contract—"

My teeth ground together, and the blood in my veins simmered “You would have to deserve my cöck before we talk about anything concerning intimacy”

Loretta's head drew back in shock and mortification. She huffed, shaking her head “Excuse me?!”

I smirked at the way her nose scruched up. I liked it a little too much “You heard me”

She huffed again in disbelief “Deserve your, your.....”

I raised a brow, daring her to say the word ‘côck’ but Loretta didn't use vulgar language as I did. She was a proper lady

“Yes, Rea” I teased “Now if you will excuse me—”

“So when will that be?” she questioned, licking her lower lip in a way that made my spine jerk

I groaned, feigning impatience, but the truth is I can do this all day, all night, all week. “Until you prove your worth to me and earn your place" I tilted my head slightly “After I would have made you pay dearly off course”

I could feel the hot steam rolling off her, Loretta's voice rose a pitch higher “And how am I supposed to take care of my needs?”

The pressure in my spine hardened into something dangerous. I closed my eyes briefly, reminding myself of what this was

Of who she was

Loretta Rea Sterling. The girl who hadn't flinched and lied against me in court. The person responsible for three wasted years of my life

When I opened my eyes again, I had regained some sense of control. “My cock," I stated, my voice flat and final, “has no business with your pussy for now. Not until I'm sure you've suffered enough to deserve me in bed. Are we done?"

Something flickered across her face. I didn't have time to find our because I was already striding towards the door

“Fine.” She yelled, her voice stopping me. “Then I'll find someone else”

Something inside my head snapped. The leash on my sanity that's what

Before anyone could say Jack Robinson, I had backed Lorette against the nearest wall, my fingers dug into her shoulder blade, my jaw snapped tight, restraining myself from crushing her

“The fuck did you say?” My voice lowered to an ominous gravel that surprised even me

She whimpered, and fuck I needed to set up a new rule against those small breathy sounds she made. They were aphrodisiac and were messing with all my senses

“Let me be very clear.“ My voice came out lower than I intended. “No man comes near you. No man calls you, texts you, or looks at you for longer than three seconds. You are going to be my wife, Loretta. On paper, in public, and in every room you walk into. You are mine”

“B..But, I have...needs." she stuttered, breathing fast “And so do you. Despite the circumstances around this relationship, we're going to be married soon. So both of us had better come to some agreement on how we'd satisfy each other sexually”

Good Lord. Somebody save this girl.

My chest shook with a barely controlled breath. “Fine” I gritted out “But let me warn you Rea, I'm not like anyone you've experienced”

I leaned closer towards her, so close that our noses nearly touched. I could scent her...

Not her perfume, just her. That delicious, feminine scent that could make any grown man fall to his knees and beg for a taste

My hands began sliding off her shoulder and down to her body “I am not your dream fantasy, I won't whisper sweet nonsense into your ears while taking you in some boring old-fashioned position”

A whimper left her reluctantly. Loretta licked her lips again, her long lashes fluttering

All my senses were on alert. The need to touch, taste, tease, tear apart, and take control

The need to torture her slowly overwhelmed me

“I will fuck you like a dirty slut, I will objectify you” I leaned towards her neck, inhaling her scent deeper into my starved lungs. My tongue was wet, poking at my lips

My brain kept on screaming one word at me. Taste. Taste. Taste and see if she's as good as she scents

“I am going to wreck you, Rea. I will destroy your little pussy with my cock and milk you of those sweet juices you have. And then I'm going to cum deep inside of you and breed you till you're tied to me for life”

She shivered, actually shivered all over. I let out a low hiss, if for anything, it was to stop myself from grabbing her succulent flesh and teasing her peaked nipples

Fûck. Fûck. This wasn't how it's supposed to go. I was losing control of myself and I never lost control

Immediately, I pulled away, stepping a far distance back “I've wasted more than enough time with you”

Loretta sighed, seeming out of breath, she shook her head to compose herself “I will see you tonight then”

I didn't give her an answer to that before leaving
