When I opened my eyes, I found Damyr watching me with an intensity that robbed me of my breath. It was too much. I didn’t know if I wanted to bathe in it or run away. I pulled his mouth down to mine, kissing him to distract me from my tumbling thoughts. I didn’t think blurting out ‘I love you’ was the right thing to do even if I was slowly starting to realise this guy was stealing my heart the way he stole me.

Damyr had said I was his and that he wanted everyone else to know it too. He said it like it was inevitable, like it was something I had no hope of fighting or running away from. I was his. Forever. I should be running in the other direction, should be scared out of my mind, but I wasn’t. I just felt overwhelmed by it all. I didn’t want to fight it; I wanted to surrender to it.

I knew it didn’t make any sense, knew this whole thing was madness, but I wanted to be his. I wanted everything about him. His passion, his brooding darkness, all his violence. I wanted it all because deep down, I knew he’d do anything for me. Even burn the world if I asked it of him, and that was a fucking thrilling thought.

My cock was leaking between us, leaving a sticky pool against my skin. Damyr buried his face against my throat, his mouth sucking hard against my skin, marking me. My eyes rolled backwards as he drove into me, his cock hitting that spot that sent fireworks zipping along my spine. “Harder. Fuck me harder.”

Damyr growled and hooked his arms around my thighs, pushing them higher and sinking his cock deeper. I didn’t think it was possible to feel this full, but fuck, his cock hit so deep within me. I couldn’t think about anything else. I didn’t want to. Damyr was giving me what I wanted, pounding into me with a speed that should have been lethal. It was relentless. Brutal. Driving all thoughts away until the only thing I could feel was him.

“Yes. There. Right there. More.” I was a babbling mess as I grabbed my cock, jerking myself in time with Damyr’s thrusts. Fuck, it wasn’t going to take me long to fall over the edge.

“I’m going to come,” Damyr snarled as his eyes dropped down to watch his cock disappearing into my hole.

“Fuck. Yes. Come inside me.” I was rambling, but I didn’t care. “I want to feel it.”

“Beg me,” he demanded, his eyes returning to mine, his gaze fierce.

I couldn’t even muster up a sliver of embarrassment. “Come for me. I need it. Please, Damyr. Give it to me.”

His hips stuttered and he ground his hips into mine, hard enough to bruise. The feeling of him throbbing deep inside me was all it took for me to follow into bliss. I spilled my release between us, fisting my cock until my entire body trembled with over stimulation.

“Are you okay?” Damyr asked as he lay down on top of me, resting his chin on his folded hands.

“Yeah. I’m good. More than good.” I smiled lazily at him, my energy completely depleted. “Are you?”

He grinned at me, those pointy canines winking at me through his smile. “Yes. I want to stay inside you forever.”

I was okay with that. Especially if it meant he was going to fuck me like that again. “I wouldn’t mind that.”

He kissed my chin. “Good. Because you’re mine forever.”

Damyr slipped free and it made me feel empty. Disconnected. Until he wrapped me in his arms, and I snuggled my head under his chin. I liked this, being skin to skin but I couldn’t help the doubt that crept in again. My brows knitted together. “Do you mean it?”

“What?”

“That I’m yours forever?” It was such an alien concept. Forever. Eternity. It sounded so final. “What would happen if you got bored with me? or when I get old, and you no longer want me?”

“Benjamin,” Damyr said in a tone that brooked no argument. “This isn’t a game to me. I have waited lifetimes for you, and if I told you half the things I think when I look at you, you’d probably run screaming.”

My heart leapt in my chest, my pulse raced and my breath hitched. “Like what?”

His gaze met mine, searching my eyes for doubt. I didn’t have any. I wanted to know. All those dark, violent thoughts he might have, I wanted to possess them.

“I want to slide into your skin, just to be as close to you as possible. Until there’s no way to tell where you start, and I end. I want to tie you to my bed just to keep you away from everyone else. And I will never, ever let you leave.”

I smiled. “Not ever? Not even to take me on a date?”

Damyr scowled. “If I take you somewhere on a date, I will make sure there will be no one else there to see you.”

“You’re ridiculous,” I said warmly. I couldn’t stop my grin even if I wanted to.

“I can’t help it.” He shrugged a shoulder. “It’s just the way I’m wired. I’ve lived for a long time, and you’d think that would make me able to move through society with ease, but it doesn’t. The older I’ve gotten, the less human I’ve become.”

“Well, maybe you’ll have me for another seventy or eighty years. Perhaps I’ll rub off on you.”

Damyr cupped my chin and dragged my gaze back to his. “I can give you eternity, Benjamin. All you need to do is ask.”

“How?” I asked, my voice a little breathless. “How does it work?”
