Her eyes flickered to my scar "I told you I’m not a whore You can keep youryou fuckfrom cream to white

The hair onher between lass Aand spitting with the say I’d felt when I’d touched her

"Fine You’re not a whore But if you were…inclined…to agree to a one off deal To let e?" My heart raced at the thought of peeling the lace off her shoulders

My cock thickened again at the thought of touching her--relishing being allowed such a si I would savour every inch of her skin I’d caress her with every fingertip,body

Zel shook her head, loose curls haloing her head "Nothing Because there is no deal Back up and let me leave Go and sleep with one of your employees You don’t need me"

Her denial made me want her all theI do need you I wasn’t lying when I said you were different I don’t understand it, but I’ to be human when I’m not I need you to let me be free I need to fuck you"

The imperfections made me frown I wanted to knoho hurt her I wanted to kill the the balcony to avoid my advance "You canon one count: I’m not for sale" She bared her teeth "Back off"

"No" I crowded her against the glass "I want you, and I always get what I want"

She stood taller, arching her back, looking like she’d sprout wings and take off from the mezzanine at any et what you want this tied to the side Fear overrodea fast tattoo inrotesqueness Of course, that’s why she’d refused If I’d been whole and not disfigured, I doubted she would denyof women, but I knew she suffered the sa thanks to the charge between us "Would you fuck me if you didn’t find le contact It twisted h Not for this flawless creature who had the power to free me
