LOGINKAIDA REED POV I shattered with a scream, my orgasm ripping through me like lightning. My walls pulsed around him, milking his thick length as waves after waves of pleasure crashed over me. Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes, my nails breaking skin as he thrust through my climax until I was a trembling, oversensitive mess underneath him.Only then did he chase his own release. With a guttural groan, he slammed deep one final time, spilling hot and thick inside me. The feel of him pulsing, claiming me so completely, triggered an aftershock that almost had me seeing black for a second. It was so intense, I thought I would die.We stayed locked together for long moments, his weight pressing me into the bed, his cock still buried deep as he softened. Then his hand loosened on my throat, his fingers sliding up to cup my cheek instead as his eyes held mine. The tenderness in his eyes, his touch...after all that roughness had my lungs closing up with overwhelming emotions. And those e
KAIDA REED POV I gasped as Zavian's fingers tightened on my jaw, a treacherous heat blooming low in my belly at how rough he was being with me. God, why did this scare me and turn me on at the same time?"Do you understand. Nod if you do," he murmured, his voice a velvet rasp against my ear, "give me a little nod and I might just have a little bit of mercy on you," he said while actively holding me down and making sure I couldn't move even a muscle."You won't nod, right? Does that mean you want to be punished instead?" He asked, his hand sliding from my hip to the curve of my ass and squeezing hard enough that I knew his fingerprints would linger. Then, without warning, his palm cracked down in a sharp smack that echoed in the silent room."Ah!" I cried out, my body jerking in shock, but I didn't get to break his hold or even move an inch and that made me panic a little. "Zavian—""Count them," he ordered, his tone dark with promise. Another smack landed on the same spot, harder thi
KAIDA REED POV I gasped awake, the bright white light blaring directly into my eyes from the ceiling making me wince."Ugh," I groaned, my eyes squeezing shut for a moment. "Where am I?"Feeling a bit out of it, I slowly sat up, my hands moving to my chest and feeling over my heart to check if it was still beating, then I let it crawl toward where the needle had pinched me as the memories from before I passed out flooded into my head."He really did that huh," I muttered as I felt the slightly sore raised skin. "I know he's a total psycho, but did he really have to..." I started to turn my head, then froze, my heart skipping a beat as I came face to face with Zavian."Zav... Zavian?"He closed the book in his hand, the expression on his face unreadable as they bored into mine."I'm a psychopath huh?" He asked, arching an eyebrow, then without warning, he leaned in, his hands slamming down on the bed.I flinched, my breath hitching as his familiar scent filled the air between us. The
YILENA HOLT POV His jaw clenched hard, his eyes blazing but it wasn't just with anger, there was desire too and no matter how much he denied it, he wanted me just as bad as I did."Do you dare to deny it," I whispered as I let my other hand drift lower, fingertips dipping just beneath the waistband of his pants. His abs tightened instantly."You can lie to yourself all you want, but I know the truth..." I kissed the side of his neck, then bit down gently, tasting salt and skin. He hissed, hips jerking forward as much as the waist belt allowed. The small movement made me dizzy with want. Fuck. I wanted more."I don't want you," he gritted, tongue darting over his dry lips."Liar." I cupped him through his pants, feeling the growing hardness there despite his clenched jaw. "You're hard for me and you still try to deny it?""Yilena," he warned again, but his voice had roughened further, breath hitching when I squeezed lightly. "Don't—""You turned me into this Kaiser," I interrupted, my
YILENA HOLT POV Kaiser was the one behind the door. My heart skipped, then started pounding, every beat of it drowning out the pain from before. "How..." I started, my voice trailing off as I slowly moved toward him."I told you I was going to make him yours, didn't I?" She asked drawing my gaze from Kaiser. "I always keep my word."I turned to face Kaiser, my mouth drying at the sight of him. He was firmly secured against a heavy wooden St. Andrew's cross bolted firmly at the center of the room. His arms were stretched high and wide, wrists bound tightly with thick black leather cuffs padded just enough to prevent immediate bruising but not enough to offer any real comfort.His legs were spread apart too, ankles secured to the bottom of the X with matching cuffs. A wide leather belt wrapped around his waist and cinched him tight to the center of the cross, keeping his torso completely pinned so he couldn't twist or slump even if he tried.I swallowed hard as I stared at his bare
YILENA HOLT POV "I don't get you. Why do you suddenly want her dead? Wasn't our original plan to frame her for Helena's death?"She nodded once, looking completely uninterested. "Yes, it was, but you're no longer friends with Helena, are you?"I stared at her, knowing that she was right... But I wasn't close to Kaida either so how the hell was I supposed to pull off her murder?"You don't have to worry your pretty little head about how you're going to kill her," she said casually, and my eyes snapped to hers instantly. "I'll be the one to make all the arrangements."I gaped at her, shocked out of my mind. Was she psychic? I was a hundred percent sure that I didn't say that question out loud, so how..."It's because you wear all your emotions on your face," she explained, shocking me even further and making my eyes widen. She scoffed, shaking her head a little before pointing one dainty finger at me. "Just like how you're doing now."Was I really that transparent? Me? The one who was
ZAVIAN NOLVEN POV I watched her, a slow, deliberate smile tugging at my lips as she weighed her options."Let's talk," she said finally, then slowly pulled her chin free from my grip. Her eyes darted to the shadows along the wall, searching for something… anything, to distract herself from me.I
KAIDA REED POV My head was splitting in two. I blinked, trying to clear my vision, but the headache I felt just made everything look like it was swirling in a vicious circle.Breathe Kaida. This is not the time to panic.I slowly turned on my side, a groan escaping my mouth as the coldness of the
KAIDA REED POV "You’re here." Helena stepped out to meet me, her smile blindingly white. "You look exhausted. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this tired before."I forced my lips to curve. "Yeah... Things were a bit hectic today." "Well, I’m glad you came." She clasped her hands in front of her,
HELENA REED POV"What the hell happened to her? You were supposed to be watching her!" Lucien yelled, his hand pressing into Yilena’s shoulders as he shook her."I was watching her!" she pushed him off, her chest heaving as she glared at him. "But I have a life too. You don’t expect me to be by her
