I won’t give in to it. Not until I have her verbal response.

“Kaleb.”

“Say you understand.” I won’t go soft on her. Being soft means risking everything, and I’m never going to do that. “I’m not messing around anymore. I’m here to stay. Tell me you understand.”

My hips thrust her into the wall and her face twists in pain. I’m the least gentle I’ve ever been with her.

After slicing her thighs, that’s saying a lot.

“Words.” I grab my cock, lining the tip to her ass. The feel of the cold metal of my barbell pressed against her crack forces a gasp out of her mouth. “Use your words.”

She blinks. Her gaze is a mixture of pain, lust, and awareness. She’s finally here. Present, Mine.

Where she belongs.

“Swear to me.” Her teeth graze her plump bottom lip, sinking deeper. I press into her ass because I can’t help it. Can’t help wanting to sink every inch inside her. “Swear that you won’t get caught. Fucking swear it, or so help me, I’ll handcuff you to the bed and gag you. I’ll leave you there for years if that’s what it takes to?—”

I shut her up with my mouth first. I tilt her face to me by her chin, kissing her as if I’d die without it. Lips, tongue, teeth. I assault her for all I’m worth, telling her a million words through my touch.

We’re fighting and groaning. Moaning as we battle with each other.

Through this kiss, I convince her that I’m never going away. Slowly but surely, she relaxes into me. She tells me she trusts me. She believes me.

“Fuck, Shi.” That’s the first thing I say after that. Can’t keep it inside when the head of my cock slips inside her ass. When she parts her lips, shocked as fuck that I pushed myself inside her. “Baby. You’re so tight.”

My forehead rests on her temple, both of us breathing hard. This is nothing like being in her pussy. I’m drunk on her. On the pain in her eyes. On how they darken and lust bleeds through them.

“Your virgin ass feels so good. So—God.” Another inch in. I need it. Another one. “Fuck.”

“Yes. Yes. But no, I can’t, we can’t.” Her eyes are wide, frantic. “This is so wrong. Your piercing in my ass. No. Another day. Please. Another day.”

“Love it when you beg.”

Both of my hands are on her hips, stilling her wriggling body. I pull out only to move us two steps to the side, avoiding the water stream.

I have better lube I can use.

“Thank you.” She thinks I’m her prince in shining armor. Looks at me like one while I gather blood from the fresh wounds on her thighs.

It’s hot and sticky. Fucking perfect.

“Glad that you’re getting it now.” I tilt her hips up with one hand, smearing blood on my cock with the other. I repeat the motion over and over until every inch of me is red, including my barbell.

“Getting what?” Her forehead creases, her eyes sliding lower to where I rub blood on myself. Eyelids drooping, her breaths grow labored. “No. Yes—I mean, no. Another day. Another fucking day.”

“This—” Both of us let out a harsh, pained breath when I push the head inside her ass again. I have my hand around her throat, my thumb tipping her face up to me. “Is what you want. This is what you need. The reminder of how strong I am. For you. For us.”

“Why does it have to be now? I’m sotired.”

“You’re somine. I’m giving you pain. And love. And everything in between. You’ll take it, because I said so. Because you need it. Say you understand.”

“We’re sick,” she whispers, her voice small. Pained. It doesn’t stop her from offering herself to me. From submitting to me.

“The rest of the world is.” This push into her is the deepest I’ve gotten into her ass. It almost knocks the breath out of me. “We’re the only thing that’s ever made sense. If other people have to die for getting in our way, so be it. They will die. We won’t. Get. Caught.”

I add more blood as lube, rub it around her rim, on my cock. Drag myself out of her, then shove back in.

Her mouth, she can’t close it. Shock and agony race across her face. While she’s offering herself to me.
