Which now seems like one million nights too short.

Her thighs tense. Her hips jerk, searching for more. I pull my fingers out slowly, watching the way she whimpers.

She’s ruined and aching, still so damn desperate.

My chest tightens. “You’re not coming until you say my name again.”

She tries. Her mouth opens. But she can’t get it out.

“Say it,” I demand, tapping her clit in a cruel tease. “Say who owns you.”

“Lucian,” she gasps, shaking. “Please—Lucian, I need?—”

I press my fingers back inside, curling them just right, my thumb returning to its rightful place. She’s soaked, pulsing around me, body begging for release. She’s got me completely undone. I want to push her the way she’s pushing me.

“You want to come?” I growl.

“Yes,” she cries.

“Then earn it.” My tone darkens. “Keep saying my name until I give it to you.”

“Lucian… Lucian…” Her voice breaks into whimpers. “Lucian.”

I feel it hit her again, that edge rising fast—and I stop, once more.

“Not yet,” I say. “Bad girls who don’t obey don’t get to come until they’re begging.”

She’s wrecked now. “Please, Lucian! Please…”

I reward her with a final thrust of my fingers.

“Now,” I growl. “Now, come for me.”

And she does—hard. My name on her lips as she shatters for me, again. “Lucian! Oh my…”

Owned.

Punished.

Perfect.

And the clock is ticking.

I withdraw slowly, her moan a symphony of surrender, hips chasing me.

I bring my fingers to her mouth. “Taste yourself.”

Her gaze flickers just long enough to reveal her innocence, then she rises to meet my challenge. She parts her lips and sucks them clean. The sight is enough to tear me in two. I curse softly, moving in to claim her in my kiss. My tongue flicks against hers, devouring.

It’s been years since anyone has gotten inside my head like this. I haven’t even been with her for more than an hour, but I already know the shape of her mouth when she says my name. I know the feel of her hands on me. I know she meets my eye with every challenge.

This is risky. She’s dangerous. I only had a taste of her, and now I’m hooked.

She needs to leave.

Right now.
