Page 45 of Deadly Obsession

That first night we fucked, I came five times. He only came once.

Elias is demanding, but in the way Ineedhim to be.

The way that doesn’t leave unwanted injuries or holes in my fragile self-confidence.

No. It’s no longer fragile.

I’ve been building my walls, strengthening my armor. I’ve finally figured out what I want when it comes to my life and my body.

And I want Elias.

I just can’t keep him.

I’ll give him tonight. Then I have to put some distance between us. At least until I make sure my parents are safe. After that, I’ll tell Elias everything.

And ask him to kill Chase.

Chapter 12 – Elias

This woman is going to be the end of me.

I’m struggling not to blow my load just by how obedient she’s being.

I know Sage is the type of woman who likes to give men orders. Fuck, I want that too. But not tonight. Tonight she needs to let go. To forget about whatever has her shaken. Whatever caused her to hide into herself.

Once inside my bedroom, I back Sage up to my king-size bed and release her.

“I’m going to undress you now. Okay?”

She nods.

“Say it out loud, Reine.”

“Yes, sir.”

I palm her cheek, grazing my thumb over her lips. “That’s my good girl.”

She rolls her eyes but smiles.

“Careful.” Her amusement fades to defiance.

Brat.

I move my hand to her right ear and remove the Christmas tree earring, holding it up in front of her face.

“Cute.”

She shrugs in her adorably playful way that drives me crazy.

After removing the other earring, I place the jewelry on my dresser.

I start on her sweater next, untucking it from the skirt. My hands slide underneath, and she sucks in a breath when my palms flatten over her sides and move around to her back.

I unlatch her bra and pause.

She huffs.

“What?” I ask, even though I know what’s annoying her.
