EVELINA

S ilence settled around the two of us, thick and intoxicating. I focused on Kane, who seemed wide awake now, but I could see his pupils were still dilated, so I knew he still wasn't completely coherent, even if he seemed like it.

Although his expression was apathetic, I saw the veins in his arms flexing against his restraints. His head was lowered, but his eyes seemed so dark and were trained on me.

I couldn't step much more than I already was, but the few steps I could take…I took them. The small filet knife was cool and steady in my hand. The blade caught the low light of the fire he’d started. I tilted my head, drinking him in.

God, he looked good, even better, because I tied him up and he was at my mercy.

He looked raw in the way I imagined someone primal and untamed would appear. His chest rose and fell with restrained power, the dominance pouring off of him despite Kane not having the power right now.

Or did he? Did I think I was the one in control and it was just a mirage?

“You look good like this,” I murmured, trailing the tip of the knife down his bare chest, just barely grazing the shirt stretched tight over his skin. “You’re so big…the biggest man I’ve ever seen, if I’m being honest.” My breath caught. “You look helpless, Kane.”

There was this darkness in his gaze as he held his stare with mine. I didn't know what this look in his eyes was…until I did. I recognized it.

It was hunger.

“You're insane,” he said low. Deep. His voice was rough, but it only made me smile and had my pussy clenching.

God, I was wet.

“Maybe,” I whispered, leaning closer, the knife catching under the fabric of his shirt. “But so are you.” I sliced through the material, revealing the hard, rigid muscles beneath.

For a second I just stared at his chest, and then I let my fingers follow the path I made with the blade, grazing his bare skin, and then pressing the tip of the knife right above his navel until he flinched and a superficial wound formed.

A low sound escaped his throat. “But you like it, don’t you?” I leaned in closer so our lips were only inches apart. “I want to fuck you, Kane.” His entire body tensed and his nostrils flared. He strained against his bounds, bringing our faces even closer together.

“The only one doing the fucking will be me, Evelina.”
