CHAPTER SIXTEEN

ONYX

T here isn’t a single part of this that I like. We’re both restless, tensions are high, and no amount of fucking will do anything to minimize it. The blood lust is growing, the need to do what we do best, and we can’t do a damn thing about it.

Selene’s still in bed and I’m sitting at my desk, absentmindedly scrolling through the police station’s records. The list of men we could easily take out keeps growing, but there’s nothing that either of us can do about it right now. For all we know, the cops could be onto us too, although there haven’t been any disturbances here at home, so I think we’re safe… for now.

Every time we’ve left the house, whether to run mundane errands or to just go for a drive, it doesn’t take long before we notice a car tailing us. Or, maybe our paranoia is just growing. Sometimes, though, things are too coincidental to be a mere fucking coincidence.

“What are you doing down here?” Selene questions me, her melodic voice breaking through my thoughts as she slips into the room.

Pushing away from the desk, I spin my chair around to face her, finding her standing naked, with just a sheet wrapped around her body as she hovers in the doorway.

“I don’t know. I was just looking at shit to try and keep myself busy.”

“You’re getting restless, aren’t you?” she asks, walking further into the room, not stopping until she positions herself on my lap, her legs straddling mine.

I scoff, shaking my head. “You can’t tell me you don’t feel the same fucking way right now. This wait is agonizing. I don’t know how much more of this shit I can take.”

“So, we make our move tonight.”

My eyes meet hers in a rush as I reach up to brush her long midnight-colored hair away from her face, tucking it behind her ears. “Tonight?”

Selene nods, a smile touching her lips as she plants her palms against my bare chest. “We’ve waited long enough. It’s time that we draw him out of the shadows and finally deal with this.”

“You know that it’s Halloween tonight, right?”

“Even better,” she smiles brightly, a sinister twinkle in her eyes. “We’ll take him back to where this all started so we can finally eradicate the problem.”

“How are we going to draw him there? What if he isn’t watching us tonight, if he’s preoccupied with something else?”

“It seems like we’re the only thing he’s occupied his time with,” she says with a shrug. “Plus, if you were going to peg a murder to take place on a certain day, wouldn’t you suspect someone would do it tonight, on Halloween?”

My brow furrows as I mull over her suggestion. “Yeah, but we’re not like that. We don’t do things on specific dates like that.”

Selene cups the side of my face as she tilts her head, bringing her mouth closer to mine. “He doesn’t know that and what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” She pauses, her lips brushing against mine as they curl upward. “Or will it?”

A groan vibrates in my chest as Selene grinds her bare pussy against my cock through my sweatpants. The fact that we’ve been starving ourselves of one need has only fueled this one to grow with such intensity. I could fuck her senseless and she’d be ready to go again after slipping out of her euphoric coma.

Grabbing her hips, I lift her up, placing her on her feet in front of me. The sheet falls away from her body, pooling around her on the floor. My eyes scan her body, covered in various marks from my brutal touch. Bruises pepper her skin, bite marks painted across her flesh. She lets me leave my mark on her every goddamn time as I root myself deep inside her bones.

The damage that I’ve inflicted on her isn’t enough. I need more. So much fucking more.

Rising to my feet, I pull my knife from my pocket, flipping the blade out. I rest the sharp tip against her collar bone, slowly dragging it along her sternum. “You want to play a game, little devil?”

She sucks in a shallow breath. “What kind of game?” Her voice is hoarse, full of lust as she gazes at me, with gold and green hues swirling in her irises.

“The kind where we find another way to satiate our needs. The kind where we can still indulge in the darkness without risking getting ourselves into any kind of trouble.”

I slide the blade underneath her tits, bringing the sharp edge up to her pebbled nipples as I glide it across her flesh. She inhales sharply, her chest rising and falling in rapid succession. My eyes are glued to her neck, watching her pulse pounding underneath her skin.

“You want to hurt me?” she breathes, not making a move toward me, but she isn’t making a move away from me.

“So fucking badly,” I growl, sliding the knife further down her stomach. “You want to bleed for me, baby?”

My blade reaches the bottom of her stomach, resting just above her pubic area. Turning the knife in my hand, the tip presses into her skin. Selene takes a step toward me, applying more pressure to the sharpness as it digs into her flesh, not deep, but enough that a small bead of blood forms around the tip of the knife.

“Only if you’re going to bleed for me too.”

I pull the knife away from her flesh as a small trail of blood seeps from the tiny puncture wound. Stepping closer to Selene, I cup the side of her face with one hand, my knife in my other as I grab her hip, pulling her flush against me. I slide my hand around the back of her neck before thrusting my fingertips along her scalp, grabbing a handful of her hair.

She lets out a low moan as I jerk her head backward, exposing her delicate throat—my favorite part of her body. I bring my face down to the base of her neck, licking my lips before pressing the tip of my tongue to her skin. Selene moves against me, her chest rising and falling with each shallow breath as I drag my tongue along the column of her throat.

Gripping her hair with one hand and her hip with the other, I back her against the desk as I bite at the skin just beneath her jaw. My cock throbs, pressed against her torso. I release her hip but keep hold of the knife handle as I shove everything off the desk, even the computer. That shit can be replaced later. Right now, I just need to be inside her with my fucking blade slicing through her skin.

I let go of her hair and slide my hands around to her ass, gripping her cheeks as I lift her up and drop her on the desk. Selene wraps her arms around the back of my neck, bringing her lips to mine as she thrusts her tongue into my mouth. She’s as brutal and volatile as me. I want her to bleed but I know that my little devil is out for fucking blood too.

My hands find her shoulders, fingertips digging into her flesh as I shove her back down onto the desk. The air leaves her lungs in a rush, and I hear her gasp as I pull away, settling between her thighs. Instead of placing my mouth against her throat, my knife finds its way there, my blade resting against her pulse that beats erratically beneath the cool metal.

“Make me bleed,” Selene breathes, her eyes hooded as she gives me a sinister smirk. “I want to see my blood on your skin.”

My tongue darts out, licking my lips as my cock throbs inside my pants. My blade kisses her skin, the tip cutting through the top layers as I slowly drag it down the side of her neck. My eyes are fixated on the way the scratch turns into an angry red wound, small beads of blood forming along the line.

Selene gasps, the sound turning into a moan as she wraps her legs around my hips, her wetness from her pussy soaking through the material of my pants.

Jesus fucking Christ.

We’ve done knife play before. I’ve fucked her with a loaded pistol pressed to her temple, but this is a completely different experience. I don’t know how to explain it. Maybe it’s our fate hanging so precariously in the balance right now that makes this so sensual.

I continue to drag the blade further down her body, letting the sharp edge dig in, leaving marks all across her flesh. Selene grinds her pussy against me, needing the friction as she’s getting restless craving her release.

Bending over across her body, I slide my mouth against her wounds, my saliva mixing with her blood on my tongue. With every swipe, Selene presses herself harder against me, my cock throbbing with every movement she makes and every sound that slips from her lips.

“Fuck, I need to feel you inside me, baby,” she breathes, withering under my touch. “I don’t know if I can wait any longer.”

A low chuckle vibrates in my chest as I slide the knife across the bottom of her stomach. “I think you forget who’s in control here, Selene. I control you, I control your pleasure. I’ll tell you when it’s time for you to come. And when I’m ready to fuck you, I’ll slide deep inside that tight pussy and fuck you until your heart spontaneously combusts in your chest.”

I stand up straight, pulling my knife away from her skin. My hands find her thighs and I peel them away from my body as I take a step back. Selene lifts her head, her eyes wide as she stares at me, unsure of what’s coming next.

Turning my knife to the side, I press the flat side of the blade against her glistening pussy, smiling as her juices coat the silver piece. “I want to slide my knife inside you and fuck you until you bleed.”

I pull it away, repositioning it so the tip presses against her center. Selene’s head falls back, panting as she moans loudly. I just barely slide it inside her, careful to keep the blade from cutting her open. It’s an urge I need fight because I know that if I start with something like this, I’m not going to stop until she’s bleeding out on the fucking desk.

I pull it away from her pussy and drop down to my knees. Abandoning the knife on the floor, I grip the insides of her thighs, spreading her legs wider as I push my face to her center. I drag my nose along her wetness, inhaling her scent. My nose presses against her clit for a fraction of a second before I pull away.

Selene mumbles something in protest, but my mouth on her pussy silences her as I slide my tongue across her center. Her legs fight against my grip as she attempts to clamp them around my head while I fuck her with my mouth. I lick and suck, tasting every fucking inch of her. My tongue settles on her clit, flicking and rolling the small bud around as I apply different degrees of pressure, driving her closer and closer to the edge.

She grinds against my face, her hips fighting to buck against my grip as I continue my assault with my tongue. She’s a mess of breathless moans, her hands gripping at my hair, pulling on my wavy locks as the pleasure spreads through her body.

I can tell she’s getting closer every time I roll my tongue over her clit. I suck it in between my teeth, biting down as she yells out, my name falling from her lips in a chant. Releasing one of her thighs, I reach down to the floor and grab my knife.

Selene wraps her free leg around my head, keeping me close as she grinds her soaking wet pussy against my mouth. Flipping the knife around in my hand, I tighten my grip around the blade, feeling it cut into my palm as I bring the opposite end up to the center of her cunt.

A gasp slips from her lips as I press it against her wet hole before sliding it inside her, pushing it in until my bloody fist is resting against the outside of her lips. Selene shifts her hips as I pull out and thrust it back inside her.

I fuck her with the handle of the knife, and the metallic tang of my blood hits my tongue as I swipe it across her clit. My blood mixes with her juices, and she cries out as I push her closer and closer to the edge. Pressing down on her clit once more, I roll my tongue over her flesh and shove the handle of the knife back into her as she splits in two, breaking apart for me.

My name is a prayer on her lips as she screams out to the gods above. Her orgasm tears through her body and she loses control, coming hard around the handle of the knife as her pussy clenches around it. It’s like a fucking earthquake with the way that her body shakes and writhes under my touch. I lap at her juices, drinking every fucking drop as I slowly pull the knife out of her.

Her legs fall away, hanging over the edge of the desk as she pants breathlessly, struggling to catch her breath. I lick her pussy until she stops shaking and I slowly stand up. Selene’s eyes are dazed as she watches me push my sweatpants down and step out of them.

The tip of my cock is wet with precum as I position myself between her legs, my erection pressing against her tight hole through my boxers. I bend over her, bringing my body down to hers as I plant one hand on the desk beside her head. Still clutching the blade of the knife in my other hand, I bring it up to her face, my blood dripping across her skin as I press the glistening handle against her lips.

My eyes trail across her chest and her neck, covered with droplets of my blood as it stains her skin. I lift my gaze to Selene’s, her eyes searching mine as I press the handle harder against her mouth. Her lips part slightly, a ragged breath escaping as I slide it in.

“Suck.”
