Carter

If it wasn’t for the sharpness in the hitch of my breath, the slight ache in my chest, and the strain in the widening of my eyes, I wouldn’t be able to accept the shock rippling through me right now.

Pure, untainted shock.

I didn’t miss the moment threads of fear filtered through her pretty eyes. Mere heartbeats after delightful beats of panic vibrated through her pulse, straight into my touch.

But neither of those visceral feelings looks back at me now.

Delight. Pure and utter delight shines in a maniacal grin that brightens every feature of her stunning face. Except her eyes. They darken with a powerful need I’m convinced I’m the first to satisfy.

I don’t know what to do with this. I’ve never seen such satisfaction in response to pain. To the promise of punishment and the prospect of death. It’s only ever been play. A game.

But Scarlet knows death is something I can certainly deliver, and though I’ve promised I would spare her now, the fact that I’m capable of it seems enough.

Yet here she is...pulse slowing beneath my touch, skin wet and hot against mine, one soft, delicate hand making my cock harder than I think I’ve ever been. Like a pathetic, lovesick puppy, I can’t stop gawking at her.

On this perilous precipice she’s drawing pleasure from, malice sharpening her soft features, she’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Theonlybeautiful thing I ever want to see again.

Though, I have a feeling nothing will ever compare from now on.

Scarlet is ruining me.

The maniacal grin begins to falter as the sparkle in her eyes dims ever so slightly, her hand on my length easing its grip. But I want to capture this moment fully. Imprint it on my skin. Learn its flavor and remember it forever.

So, I do.

I descend onto her with the same force as this punishing storm, crushing my mouth to hers like her flavor could escape me if I didn’t. Lips soften as the shock makes way for indulgence, and they draw me in like sirens at sea.

Goddamn it, she’s exquisite.

She tastes of everything I’ve ever enjoyed and nothing I’ve ever encountered, all at once. Wildflowers in bloom and destruction bred from fire. She tastes like she’s the end of all I’ve known and the beginning of my new favorite experience. Honey and spice layered beautifully.

Her lips part fully, letting me in when I release her throat, and she draws in a deep breath like she pulls the life force directly from my lungs. She presses against me, greedily demanding more, tongues clashing as we explore each other with vicious need.

Scarlet’s moan trembles against my lips, my tongue, and yanks an unfamiliar, foreign growl from deep within my chest. It’s charged with a need and ardor never before heard in my voice.

My cock strains heavily against the seam of my trousers, and I rip Scarlet’s hand away, ignoring her disappointed plea as I grab her ass and yank her upward. She takes but a moment before she catches on and throws her legs around my hips. The wanton cry that spills from her lips tastes so fucking sweet, my knees threaten to buckle. My cock nestles against that warm spot between her inviting thighs, lined up so perfectly with the covered seam of her pussy. She grinds against me, seeking pleasure with delightful desperation.

Hooking her free arm around my neck, she pulls me harder against her before she breaks our kiss to let words pass.

“If I knew earlier this is how you punish...” She trails off as she strokes my tongue with hers, lips clashing in a wild, hypnotic kiss.

It’s not how I punish, but it’s certainly a punishment. Only, it’s me at the receiving end, because this is not enough. I want every single bit of her aligned with me. Her naked skin against mine, my lips on her softness, her softness on every inch of my body. And the worst thing is...I never want it to end.

Ever.

But it has to. Right?

There will come a time when she realizes that my darkness is too devoid of stars for her.

I can’t learn to be around her. I can’t allow myself to get used to her.

Because she’ll leave.

But I certainly can indulge.
