Chapter 7
“ N ow , Odessa,” I all but bark at her over the rain.
I like her name, but I think I like Wraith better. It suits her.
Her fingers shake as they fumble with the belt of my jeans.
It takes her two tries before she finally gets the job done.
Lightning cracks the sky around us as I watch her patiently, because I’ve got all the time in the world to show this girl just exactly what she’s done to me by running away.
The effects of ten years ago, I mean. I’m hard as a fucking rock right now and that’ll send the wrong message but eh, I work with what I’ve got.
I don’t offer her any help when she struggles with the zipper, too, but she finally bests that part of my jeans as well.
Just the thought of her touching my dick has this thrill of excitement zapping down my spine. It’s such a foreign feeling when it comes to my cock and my pleasure that I’m not sure if I want to stab her to stop it or let this ride out.
The moment her delicate hand wraps around me, my body shudders in favor of her touch.
Definitely ride this out.
Lightning flashes again and I catch the way her eyes widen. I'm assuming not only at my size, but at the magic cross piercing that decorates the head.
“ Oh God ,” she gasps and it’s got me grinning like a madman behind my cowl.
I mean, I am a madman, according to the media, so maybe I’m just grinning?
“Close, but no.” My grip on her throat tightens and I invade her space again, trapping her hand on my dick between us until I’m just inches from her face.
I use my free hand to hook a finger into my mask and tug it down, finally fully revealing myself to her for the first time in a decade.
“The name you’ll be calling out when it comes to my cock and your body, is Adris. ”
Her body freezes beneath me and her chest rises and falls rapidly with every breath that saws in and out of her lungs.
I cock my head to the side, not giving her time to conjure up any form of a response and lean in closer, allowing my lips to brush over hers when I speak.
“You tried to take my breath with that knee to my gut earlier. Little did you know that I haven’t taken a proper breath in ten fucking years, Wraith.
” I squeeze her neck tighter and a soft whimper is released from the confines of her lips. “Now it’s my turn to take yours.”
Panic flares in her eyes as she shakes her head in my grip, her skull sinking a little deeper into the earth.
I don’t know why she’s in such a tizzy over digging herself deeper.
It’s where she longs to be, after all. I let up on her neck when I see her lips moving, like she’s trying to speak. “I don’t—I’m?—”
“I’m going to fuck this throat before I take this pussy,” I growl into her neck, and squeeze her throat just to further drive my point home that I am the one with the control here. “Then maybe you’ll understand just exactly what you’ve done to me.”
“Adris—”
“Open.” I don’t want her excuses. The time for her words and her reasoning is not wanted. Right now, I just need her fucking submission. I need her pain. Her pleasure. Such a thing had never mattered to me before, but this little ghost beneath me has me craving… more .
“Please.”
“You’ll be begging soon enough, baby. Open .
” The command falls from my lips at the same time lightning flashes around us and the sky opens up, turning the steady rain into a torrential downpour.
I emphasize the demand by shifting my grip to her jaw with one hand while the other grips my cock.
Anticipation rushes through me faster than any spike of adrenaline that comes with taking someone’s life when I tap the tip against her, smearing a bead of precum over her bottom lip.
Her dark eyes glare up at me, but she’s not fooling anyone with the way her blatant desire overpowers her desire to fight. Bummer. I rather enjoy her spark. She bares her flawless teeth at me as she grits out, her lips brushing against my cockhead with an adorable, “Fuck. You.”
It’s a valiant effort, really, but it only serves to make me smile like the maniac they say I am.
“That’s the goal, yes.” My fingers press into her cheeks, forcing her lips to part.
Fear flashes in her eyes as they stare at my dick.
I roll my eyes, huffing, “You can tap my leg three times if it becomes too much, or you feel like you’re going to lose your grip on life. ”
I can tell she doesn’t believe me. Smart girl.
The moment her tongue darts out, I waste no time plunging my cock as deep as her throat allows. “There’s a chance your cues could get lost in the storm, though, but at least I’ll know when you’re straddling the line of life and death, my pretty little Wraith. ”
I’m so pent up that there’s nothing graceful about the way in which I begin to fuck her face.
She relaxes her jaw to take more of me, and I can tell she’s using her tongue by the way it swirls along the underside of my cock.
There’s a part of me that simply does not like that she knows what to do when it comes to sucking cock, so it looks like I’ll be digging even deeper into her past, into who it is that put this hit out on her, finding any person who touched her before me, and adding more names to my kill count.
Before I cut their dicks off first, of course .
She shimmies beneath me. I look behind me and notice her thighs rubbing together. A dark, sinister chuckle rattles up from my chest from her little cue that she’s turned the fuck on—as much as I’m sure she’d deny it.
I up the pace, my cock throbbing within her mouth, hissing when her teeth scrape along my shaft. Jokes on her, though. I’m into that shit.
“Fuck, you are flirting with me, Wraith, ” I grit out. I’m close, and I’m not about to lose this orgasm by pulling out, but her mouth isn’t where I want to come.
Reaching behind me, I trail my hand up her smooth, rain-slicked thigh, feeling her goosebumps rise in the wake of my touch until I reach her panties at the apex of her thighs.
She tries to tighten them, trying to shut me out, but a quick slap to her inner thigh has her yelping around my length and her knees dropping out to the sides.
Slipping my hand beneath the elastic band, I find her entrance and…
she’s fucking soaked, but not from the rain.
She whimpers around my cock and bucks up into my touch and the sound sends a vibration through my dick that has me groaning out loud.
I want so badly to claim her wet cunt with my fingers, but I’m on a mission here, and I don’t have time to play with her like I want.
Gathering the evidence of her arousal on my fingers, I bring them to my lips and lock eyes with her as I pop the digit into my mouth.
Even in the dark, I can see her pupils dilate while watching me suck her off of my fingers. That tells me all I need to know. I was planning on claiming her regardless, but now I know that some part of her wants me, even if it’s buried down deep beneath her fight.
I’m a moment away from coming down her throat and she hasn’t taken a proper breath for a while.
She’s essentially minutes away from suffocating on my cock.
I pull myself from her mouth, and she sputters then coughs.
Stealing her next breath, I squeeze her throat and lean in close as I roughly slide down her body until I’ve made myself at home between her thighs again, the ridge of my cock resting over her wet pussy.
Her nails dig into my wrist hard enough to draw blood as she fights for air. Leaning in, I can’t help but bite at her lip, pulling just hard enough to reopen the wound there. The tang of her blood hits my tongue and it’s almost as sweet as tasting her arousal.
“Tell me, Wraith , does it make you feel alive knowing only I hold the power to bring you to your death?”
Her lashes flutter and her breathing kicks up at my words and I’m not sure if it’s at the promise of being able to kill her or not.
I need to be buried inside of her but she needs to understand that while she has no control over the situation, she can have power.
That she’s not some waif to be battered around.
The Odessa I knew wasn’t a death-chaser, but there’s a side of her that seems to have laid dormant.
Now it’s time to wake her the fuck up and teach her to know when and how to take that power back.
She’s going to need it to survive in our world.
Using my grip on her neck and my hand on her hip, I roll, flipping our positions until Odessa is hovering above me, her body trembling from a combination of adrenaline, fear, arousal, and the rain and wind pelting her skin.
My cock stands firm, poised at the entrance of her pussy, her panties the only barrier between us.
At least, they were. A satisfying rip tears through the air when I release her hip and hook a finger into the hem, tugging hard enough to tear a hole directly in the center.
Now there’s nothing blocking her from me.
She tries to push off of me, but I don’t let go of her neck. I use my grip on her to keep her anchored to me. Her long, pastel hair creates a dripping wet curtain around us and it’s as if it narrows our world down into two focal points: me and her.
“Let go of me, Adris.”
The sound of my name rolling off of her tongue is enough to send me into a feral frenzy that I barely manage to shove down. Instead, I cock my head against the cold, wet earth, giving her a lazy, lopsided grin. “Mm, no. I don’t think I will.”
“Let me g?— ”
“No, you let go, Odessa,” I snap. She freezes above me. “Just fucking. Let. Go.”
At my words, it’s as if time stops. The rain, the thunder, the wind, her heartbeat…
everything. Everything, save for the shared breaths between us.
Beads of water cling to her tanned, bruised skin and I want nothing more than to lean up to lick them off of her.
To ensure I devour every part of her being.
