I stood there more desperate than ever as the tray slipped out of my hands to the floor.

There were so many hideous tales I had heard about him. One of them is that he decorates his room with the heads of those he has killed, and he drinks blood instead of water. The most bewildering part was that women still swooned around him, which was very perplexing.

"You can't desire me, Ethan. I'm not good for you."

In a world divided by blood and power, love might be the most dangerous instinct of all.

"Sophie Patterson. Don't you dare walk away from me." Logan's menacing stare bore at me. I suddenly didn't feel drunk anymore. I sobered up quickly.

"What, Logan? You're gonna tell me that you suddenly love me again? That you're here to sweep me off my feet? Please! I didn't need you all this time, and I don't need you now." He clenched his jaw, fisting his hands.

"Enough. Stop being so damn stubborn. You know I do. I love you. I never stopped loving you, Sophie. It was always you."

“Yara,” he murmured softly before his lips crashed into mine. A muffled noise escaped me but I didn’t hesitate to reciprocate the kiss and moments later, I was backed up against the counter with his body pressed against mine.

I wanted to melt in his arms while he deepened the kiss and I moaned into his mouth when his hands slid down to grab my ass. Oh my God. He squeezed, making another moan escape me, before he began to trail kisses down my neck and stopped at a spot to suck on it.

God! At the same time as his words aroused me, they managed to irritate me. Even now, he's still the same bastard, arrogant and bossy as ever, who always wanted things his way.

"Why would I do that?" I asked, feeling my legs weaken.

"I'm sorry if I made you think you had any choice," he said before grabbing my hair and pushing my torso, forcing me to lean over and place my hands on the surface of his desk.

"Mine," he growled, low and deep.
My entire body wanted to surrender.

"I’m not yours."

He tightened his grip on me.

"You don’t want me to chase you, do you?" His voice sounded almost animal. "Unless…"

"Unless what?"

"There’s another way to settle this."

He raised my arms, pinning my hands above my head.

"Tell me you didn’t fuck him," he demanded through clenched teeth.

"Go fuck yourself, you son of a bitch!" I snapped, trying to break free.

"Say it!" he growled, gripping my chin with one hand.

"Do you think I’m a slut?"

"Is that a no?"

"Go to hell!"

"Good. That’s all I needed to know," he said, yanking up my black sports bra with one hand, exposing my breasts and sending a surge of adrenaline through my body.

"What the hell are you doing?" I panted as he stared at my breasts with a satisfied smirk.

He ran a finger over one of the marks he’d left just below one of my nipples.

The bastard was admiring the marks he’d left on me?

"Wrap your legs around me," he ordered.

He leaned down just enough to take my breast into his mouth, sucking hard on my nipple. I bit my lower lip to stifle a moan as he bit down, making me arch my chest toward him.

"I’m letting go of your hands. Don’t you dare stop me."

Bastard. Arrogant. Completely irresistible. The exact type of man Ellie swore she’d never get involved with again. But when her best friend’s brother returns to the city, she finds herself dangerously close to succumbing to her wildest desires.

She wanted freedom. He wanted control. Neither expected love.

Now? Neither can live without it.

“Good girl…”

The deep, whispered voice cuts through the silence, raising goosebumps along my skin and reverberating through my body in the darkness of the cabin.

So real it freezes me in place, sending my heart racing with pure terror.

I’m not alone.

I want to scream, but nothing comes out. The sound stays trapped in my throat, locked down by fear.

Without looking back, my first instinct is to run.

But before I can take a second step, the wooden floor vanishes beneath me as strong arms wrap around my waist, lifting me off the ground.

My scream is smothered by a large gloved hand as I struggle.

“Shhh,” he whispers against my ear. “Don’t scream… (…) It’s useless. No one will hear you… there’s no one around…”

Suddenly, he turns my body, pinning my arms behind my back.

Breathless, I force myself to lift my face and look at him, but all I can see in the darkness is a black mask covering almost his entire face, revealing only his eyes and mouth.

I swallow hard, a new shiver running across my skin as I meet the intense, shadowed stare behind the mask.

I’m paralyzed again. Only now, not just from fear.
There’s something else—something I can’t understand or control.
Something that holds me still, trapped in his gaze when I should be screaming and trying to escape.

(…)

“I’m not leaving… not until you show me why you want me here so much. And you do want me.”
He slides his fingers along my cheek, a touch that makes me question my own sanity.

“So show me, little flame.”

“This… this is sick,” I breathe, fighting the way his gaze makes my skin burn.

“Then why are you so wet?”
