The thought had her whimpering, and she realized with shock that it really wasn’t over for either of them.

His emerald green eyes captured her gaze. “Beg for it.” A cruel, playful taunt that should hurt her, anger her, or even just make her run away, but it did none of those things.

Instead, it made everything go away, made Zari so lost in the heat of the moment that everything ceased to exist. Where she was no longer mattered. Who could see them, hear them, was no longer important. But best of all, even the guilt was gone, too. Just this moment, she was free.

“Please, Master.” Her voice was delicate, innocent and provocative at the same time, and filled with aching need.

Hearing her say the words like that, seeing her eye him so damn hungrily like she wanted to eat him then and there, made Alexandru shudder.Too goddamn long, he thought violently. It had been too goddamn long since he had heard her call out to him like that!

“Again,” he commanded. “Beg for it.”

She moaned at the order, the submissive part of her yearning to be dominated. “Master, please. Please, Master—-” She gasped, the rest of what she had to say cut off at the feel of his hands on her ankles as he pushed her legs wide open.

Their eyes locked with each other again.

“Promise me,” he said savagely. “Promise me you will never kiss another man again, never let another man fucking touch any part of you again.Promise me!”

Unable to resist the authoritative demand in his voice, she choked out, “Yes.”

She had barely finished speaking when he drove into her. Zari screamed. Again and again she screamed as he shoved his cock into her heated warmth.Master, Master, Master.

It made him shudder, made him bend down to plump one breast and feed it to his mouth without slowing his thrusts.

Zari wrapped her arms around his neck as Alexandru began sucking on her nipple. “Master!” This time, she sobbed his name out because she could feel it again, the stirring of another powerful orgasm—-

Her Master bit her nipple.

And that was it for her, Zari screaming as she came. “Master!”

“Yes,” he growled as he lifted his mouth off her breast. He sank his length into her again, claiming every inch of her wet, shaking pussy. Her come surrounded his cock, filling her passage, and allowed him to slip his erection deeper until the tip of his cock hit the wall of her womb. It was an unbelievable sensation, and with a jerk, he started to pump his seed into her a second time.

“Zari.Look at me.”

She turned towards his voice, her gray eyes made hazy with pleasure.

“I will always be your Master, and you will always be my pet.”

THEY MADE LOVE UNTILdarkness had fallen and she ended up sleeping in his arms in a state of exhaustion. When she woke up, she was in his bed, still naked, and curled in the arms of her Master.

She whispered, “Master?”

What is it, pet?His arms tightened around her as he spoke.

Swallowing, she told him shakily, “Something’s wrong with me.” It was the only thing she could risk saying. She was too ashamed to admit the entire truth.

I know.

She stiffened, and she stiffened even more when her Master shifted. She thought he would let her go then, but instead she felt his lips pressing on her forehead.

Tears burned behind her eyelids.

Her Master was a hunter, whose work required that he become cold-blooded and anything but gentle.

But with her?

He had always been with gentle with her. Always, Zari realized. How could she only realize that now? And God, why couldn’t it be that he was gentle with her because he loved her and not because she was his pet?

Will you tell me what you feel is wrong with you?
