But her body was still weak from my vicious retribution, her mouth twisting into a pained grimace as her hips began to falter. As hard as she was trying to deliver on her objective, I knew she wouldn’t be able to keep her pace up for long, the evidence piling up as she cried out from behind clenched teeth.

Despite her obvious anguish, she continued to fuck me with the vigor of a wounded animal, holding on for survival.

But I wanted more than that.

Gripping her waist, I pulled her down harder, shifting my hips to impale her over and over again until my cock was ready to explode. Breathless, Jaden’s mouth slammed back down over mine, kissing me with a fiery desperation as her pussy tightened.

Pressing my thumb against her clit, she screamed into my mouth as her walls clamped down on my cock, her orgasm erupting around me and shoving me right over the edge. I came with a feral growl, pumping inside her until she was filled to the brim with my cum.

Jaden’s chest rose and fell as we both came down from the high. Her arms had locked themselves around my neck while her body remained tightly pressed against mine. Leaning in closer, her lips lightly grazed against my temple, moving down my cheek and to my jaw, one little kiss at a time.

I wanted more of it, more of whatever the fuck she was doing that made me question my own objectives. And the more I thought about it, the harder it was to convince myself against antagonizing the crooked downward spiral that slowly came into focus.

The door to a new kind of psychological warfare had revealed itself to me last night, presenting a whole new world of material manipulation. The toxicity of it would poison us both, but the result would be nothing short of the most magnanimous catharsis ever achieved.

Jaden would never see it coming. But if she wanted to lie to me, then she could keep on doing it until it became so well-ingrained, so natural to speak, that she wouldn’t even remember it was ever a lie to begin with.

I could train Jaden into trapping her own mind in a cage made up of her own lies. Keep her there until she didn’t recognize the bars anymore, never realizing that they’d long ago evaporated into a truth that would ultimately become her undoing.

The power those three little words held made them true weapons of mass destruction.

And I was ready to detonate.

At the prospect of my impending victory, I was instantly hard again, my body eager to exact its goals. Keeping Jaden tight to my chest, I stood from the bath and stepped out, not giving a single fuck about the water dripping everywhere.

I dropped Jaden’s soaking-wet ass onto the bathroom counter, my cock twitching with need at the sound of her cries from the welts still raised on her skin. The counter would be slippery from all the water, easing the friction against her skin, but it wouldn’t be enough.

Attempting to alleviate the pressure, she placed her hands on the counter just behind her hips and tilted her pelvis up to meet mine. I didn’t need the invitation as I began to fuck her with deep hard thrusts, my fingertips leaving bruises in her skin as I held her body in my hands.

The urge to claim, to conquer, and own was a driving force I had no intention of fighting. I wanted Jaden to feel me for days, to remember this exact moment whenever she moved, because it would set the course for a whole new journey I was eager to start.

When I could feel her body getting close, I slowed my pace, her warm wet heat enveloping my cock making it difficult to resist. Gripping her throat, I squeezed just enough to get her attention, maintaining steady hard thrusts into her pussy.

“Lie to me, Jaden,” I growled, my voice barely recognizable. “I want to hear the words that will slay us both.”

A frown graced her beautiful features, her eyes glazing over in terrified confusion. But the truth was there, the recognition of my demand impossible to ignore.

She shook her head. “No,” she whispered. “You can’t…”

I squeezed her throat harder, cutting off her words. “I can and you will.”

Jaden froze, the most beautiful tears filling the corners of her eyes, making me thrust into her even harder so they would spill onto her cheeks.

With liquid crystals glistening down her face, Jaden tried to shake her head again, her eyes pleading for me to see reason. But there would be none. My mind was made up.

“Three little words, princess,” I coaxed, pressing my thumb to her clit, making her cry out with a sob. “The only keys to your salvation.”

Her cries just made me want to fuck her harder, the sounds of her emotional internal battle waging war on my dick as I groaned at the feel of her walls clenching around me.

She was so close. So close to coming. So close to caving.

“Say them, Jaden. You will not leave here until you do.”

Her turmoil was perfection, her hardened gaze so full of hatred and disbelief, yet her body was on the brink of shattering into tiny broken pieces beneath me.

Fuck, I could never get enough of this. No one could fulfill me the way she could. Nothing could ever compare to the power she had over me.

“Say it, Jaden,” I snarled, my patience evaporating with each breath I took. “Make me believe it.”
