Page 76 of Sins and Virtue

“Am— ugh!” I threw my hands up in frustration, stopping this child’s play as I wiggled my ass out of bed. “This is insane. I don’t have to explain anything to you. I don’t have to prove anything to you. Because I simply want nothing to do with you, so I want you to leave.”

“Sure, that’s what you say, but I don’t think you believe yourself, kotyonok.”

“Excuse me?” My eyes narrowed directly at him.

“You’re such a bad liar. You say one thing, and yet your eyes say another. It’s like you’re begging me practically.”

“Oh, fuck off.”

“I’d rather fuck you if I’m being honest.”

“I’d rather hug a landmine.”

Konstantin clicked his tongue in a methodical manner as he shook his head, barely adjusting the towel on his bulge. “You’re just dying to be on your knees for me, aren’t you, kotyonok?”

“If anyone’s going to be on their knees, it’ll be you when you’re praying for a taste of me. Begging for a taste of my pussy. One you’ll never touch or feel. So take a good look because that’s all you’re ever going to do with my body, sweetheart.” I taunted with a deviant smirk.

Fire sparked in his dark Siberian eyes, and dark-laced passion sworn on his lips. “Shit, you turn me on.”

He took a large step forward, enclosing the gap between us as he hovered over me, his whole body entrapping me. Lifting his hand and slipping his finger underneath my chin as he brought my gaze up to his, he ran his thumb over my bottom lip. Fireworks exploded along my skin.

Lowering his head, a growl resonated in his chest. “I’m going to kiss you.”

“I’ll bite you.” I breathed against his lips.

His lips lifted into a devastating smile, one that made me weak in the knees. “Mmhm, I like that. As long as I get to do whatever with you, you can do whatever with me.”

My eyes widened, shocked by his confession.

I don’t think any man had been so bluntly straightforward and callous. Most of them thought it was too weak to show any emotion on their sleeve.

But, this— he turned me on.

The fact I could possess him— own him— just like he could have me…if I allowed it.

My gaze lowered down and passed his nose down to his lips. Starting— wondering how they would feel, how they would taste, what they would do?

Goodness…

Wait, what was I thinking?

Well, I knew what I was thinking, but no, I couldn’t. I shouldn’t. If the risk of temptation was here, then I should leave… But where the fuck am I going to go in the middle of the night?

The church was already one place of salvation, but it wouldn’t save me from Konstantin disturbing my peace.

He flicked my forehead and backed away, showing his toned ass as he finally wrapped the towel around his hips properly. Walking back to the corner of the room.

“Ouch!” I whined, rubbing the spot between my brows. “What was that for?”

The muscles in his back shifted with the minimum moonlight that peeked inside the room; it displayed not only the array of tattoos but also the scars and burn marks imprinted on his skin. “I’m bored now,” he hissed between his teeth.

My eyes grew large.

It wasn’t practical, but I couldn’t help but be drawn to him. Needing to know what happened. Taking a few quick steps, I stood behind him, slowly raising my hand to touch as he spoke up, making me freeze.

“What is it now, kotyonok?”

“What happened to you?” Concerned and cautious, I asked.
