Chapter 28
Eva’s breath shook as her eyes met mine in the mirror, her pulse jumping against her neck, practically begging me to rip into her.
And I wanted to—God, I wanted to. But I had one long hour planned with her, thanks to being a controlling investor in the one place she was allowed to go right now, and I planned on using that hour well.
“A-Alek,” she whispered. “Is it really you?”
I scowled, my hand flying to her neck, arching her against me. “Were you expecting someone else, solnyshka? Have you already moved on from me?”
If she found someone new to replace me, if she thought she could fucking get away from me again, then she had no idea what I was capable of. I wasn’t letting her go again.
Ever.
I didn’t care if I had to crawl through the pits of Hell. If Eva went there, so did I.
“No,” she moaned as I bit the tender spot by her collarbone, the monster within me ordering me to mark her, to show her fucking a brother that he could never get rid of me.
But as much as I wanted to show the world that Eva was mine, I had a plan to follow.
I couldn’t let my barely controlled lust ruin it.
“Good. Because you’re fucking mine. And you better not have forgotten it.”
“I haven’t. I promise.”
Keeping my eyes locked on hers in the mirror, I turned her to face me before my lips attacked her.
I fought to kiss every inch of her—her hair, her lips, her cheeks, her neck, her shoulders, her eyes, her nose, all of it.
It was all mine. I licked and sucked and bit her while Eva’s body trembled in my arms.
“Mine,” I growled, thrusting my hard cock into her behind. Her lip gloss smeared on my face, and I relished the taste of it. Of sweet, warm vanilla, of my even sweeter girl. “You are fucking mine.”
I thrust my tongue inside of her mouth, my hand fisting in her hair while the other one tightened around her throat, loving the way her breath stuttered beneath my palm. Loving the way she submitted to my hold on her life.
My mouth devoured her. It was a savage claiming, one that would remind her of how thoroughly I’d ruined her. She belonged to me, and I would be damned if she let that fucking brother of hers try to keep us apart again.
Eva’s hands grabbed onto my shirt, and for a moment, I worried she would push me away. That she’d forgotten my vow to her. But she stood on her toes and pulled me closer, letting me feel her warm body pressed against mine as I ravaged her to ruination.
“Alek,” she breathed as I attacked her collarbone with hot, wet kisses that were sure to leave a mark from my teeth. “Alek… stop…”
“No.”
“We don’t have much time, Alek… If he catches you, he’ll kill you.”
I pulled back and stared into her chocolate eyes.
“I was dead the moment he shot that bullet at you. I won’t fucking live without you, Evangeline.
I won’t.” I slid my hand beneath her shirt and pinched her hardened nipple, loving the sound of her cries filling the practice studio.
“Your body is mine. Your heart is mine. Your fucking soul is mine to take. Don’t you dare try to push me away again. ”
And maybe she could sense the beast that was lingering beneath the surface, the one that wanted to throw her over my shoulder and lock her in my mansion until I could kill anyone who tried to keep us apart.
She’d said she loved me before. And if those torturous weeks apart had taught me anything, it was that love was a vicious obsession, a fiery storm of emotions men like me weren’t meant to feel.
Love was not always this tender thing found in fairytales.
Sometimes, it had teeth and claws and wore the mask of a monster, forcing you to sign an oath made of your blood.
And I’d signed my name on the dotted line the moment I saw her pretty little face.
I ripped her tank top off her body, careful not to touch the bruise that I knew pained her. Her breasts bounced free, and I wasted no time taking the supple flesh into my mouth while my hands gripped her back.
Mine, mine, mine, something inside of me snarled. My love. My sun. My girl. Mine.
Eva cried out when I bit her nipple, her hands flying to my hair. “More, Alek. I need more.”
I responded not with words, but with my hands pulling down her tights and all but ripping off her skirt.
Her panties were more like little scraps of pink fabric, and I tugged them down, shoving them into my pocket for later.
I wanted to suffocate in the smell of her pussy tonight when we were apart again.
Because as much as I wanted this to last forever, it couldn’t.
I was an animal for her, my darkness snarling at the thought of giving her up again.
But I would have to temporarily if I wanted Julian to remain ignorant of all the ways I was ruining his baby sister.
The thought made my movements even rougher.
My cock was painfully hard as my lips found hers again. “Did you miss me, baby?” I murmured against them. “Was your pussy empty without me?”
“Yes,” she moaned before a tear slipped down her cheek. It was a throaty sound, a desperate one. “I missed you so much, Alek. I thought I’d never see you again.”
“Never. You will never get rid of me, Evangeline. I’m the fucking poison spreading through your veins.
I’m the sickness you will never find a cure for.
I’m the monster who has decided he likes the taste of you.
And if you ever fucking think I will leave you again—” I thrust three fingers deep into her pussy, and Eva cried out at the sudden fullness.
“—then I clearly haven’t done my job in making you mine. ”
I slammed into her with an unforgiving tempo. I wanted to tear her apart, to break her open and stitch her back together so she would look at the threads of her soul and see me.
Her hands curled around my shoulders. And, fuck, I relished the sight of her chocolate eyes rolling into the back of her head. Eva wrapped her legs around my torso, opening wider for me to finger fuck her into oblivion.
As soon as I sensed the orgasm inside of her, my pace increased until she was biting her lip and seeing stars.
She shouted my name as she fell undone, and I savored the feeling of her cum coating my fingers.
While Eva came down from her high, I placed them on my tongue and sucked her lingering juices off, my taste buds singing from the sweetness.
An aching need built inside of me. The need to feel her move against me, to feel her writhe with pleasure, to own her.
Eva watched with hooded eyes as I unzipped my trousers and freed my throbbing cock. She licked her lips, and my gaze followed the path of her tongue like a compass pulling north.
“If I hadn’t thought about that every day, I might have forgotten how big it was,” she said before dropping to her knees and taking me in her mouth in one fell swoop.
“Fuck, solnyshka,” I hissed, grabbing onto her ponytail while her tongue swirled along my shaft. My body tightened at the feeling of her touching me, licking me, sucking me. “Such a good fucking girl. I missed you so much.”
As soon as she grabbed my balls with her free hand, I couldn’t take it any longer. I let out a growl before I grabbed her throat, forcing her to stand along with me while I pulled her across the room to the two barres lining the mirrors.
Eva gasped as my hands turned her around, my cock brushing against her entrance while I bent her over and grabbed onto her hair.
“Hold on,” I ordered, and she obeyed instantly, wrapping her small hands around the barre while I grabbed her hips and pulled them back, bending her over so her pert little ass was ripe for the taking. “Good girl. Does that hurt your shoulder?”
That fucking bullet wound. The sight of the bruise on her made me murderous, though I held it in, my anger buried beneath weeks of unspent lust.
“No, sir,” Eva whispered.
“Good. Now stay there.”
I gripped the base of my shaft, pumping it a few times while Eva’s dark eyes watched me with anticipation. She rocked back once, and I responded by smacking her ass hard enough to make it red.
“I told you to fucking stay.”
Eva whimpered. “I’m s-sorry. I… I really need you, Alek. It’s been so long. I can’t wait for you.”
“You’ll wait if I fucking tell you to wait, just like how you made me wait over two goddamn weeks to see you.
” My hands skated down her body before they reached her breasts.
I pinched her sensitive nipples, groaning at the feeling of them hardening against me.
“Did you enjoy hiding away from me, solnyshka? Did you sit in your ivory tower dreaming of another prince?”
She shook her head vehemently. “N-no. Only you. I only ever think of you. You’ve ruined me for all others.”
“Damn right.”
And then I rammed inside of her, my cock filling her to the brim while Eva’s cry echoed through the studio.
Her head fell forward, and I could practically taste her tears in the air as I slammed into her, stretching her despite her wetness.
Her pussy clenched around me as if she was trying to keep me inside of her.
But I moved in and out of her with brutal force, obsessed with punishing her, marking her, claiming her.
Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
“Alek,” Eva breathed, one hand unwrapping from the barre.
“Keep it there,” I snapped, and she listened instantly, returning it to its place.
“Alek… Alek, I—”
“I know what you need, baby. You need me to fuck you like the good girl you are. You need my cock filling you up and reminding you who you belong to. Because you might have thought I was done with you, but I never will be.”
