My heart exploded at the icy intensity in his silver eyes I sed as his fingers tightened Instead of fearing hiavehe’d done for me, he shouldn’t need confirh"

I’ your child

His nostrils flared and heoff the bed The residual heat of his fingers around my neck sparked with erotic torture

Grey-white eyes locked withme feast on his skin Clara’s silver star rested in the hollow of his throat and the spas andwith old Silver and red, along with purple and blue bruises

Sitting upright, I traced the two large squares of gauze stuck to his side "You’re hurt" I looked up, asking silently what happened Se

He shook his head "Later If you want to know, I’ll tell you" His hands fell to his buckle and I sed hard "But right now, I’ive you everything that I fucking am"

My pussy clenched at the raw need in his voice I couldn’t look away

His sto beneath ruined skin as he undid the button and pulled down the zipper He let thethem away He stood proud and naked So different to when I first met him

My mouth watered to lick every inch To taste him To drink him in forever

His hands twitched by his sides "Take your bra off" His voice was dark, husky, heavily accented--the Russian dialect he tried so hard to hide coown off and unhooked my bra It came away; I let the cups fall to the bed

Roan’s eyes fell to roaned and cupped himself His cock jerked in his touch as he stroked sensitive flesh "You’re the only woman ht to hate sex That it would fog my brain--ruin lad I’ own you and you own me in return"

The passion in his tone kept rief, kept trying to suck me back into tears, but Roan trapped me with him I needed it Desperately I needed to remember how to be myself How to survive

"You’re the only man I’ve been attracted to I wanted you the moment I saw you You scared me, terrified me, but beneath it all I saho you are now I saw a man I could love I’m yours, Roan"

His eyes snapped closed; his entire body shuddered "Fuck, call ain" His voice resonated with lust

I didn’t know if he wanted me to tell him I loved him or call him by his name So I did both I threw myself into the truth and ehter

"I love you, Roan Averin"

His body, so cut and etched in muscle, rippled with need His eyes wrenched open and for once I saw a sliver of blue in the white depths I saw ragged passion and undiluted awe "You fucking own me, Hazel"

"I don’t own you I’ll never own you You’re free You fought your past and you found your way to me" My voice cracked with tears--but these tears were pride and gratefulness that he’d been able to fight

"Fucking hell," Roan growled "I need you so o of his erection, he pounced The bed shifted as he landed on top of ainstmy head into the mattress

He commanded me to open wide, to accept his brutal kiss His ht and parried Danced and worshipped

Ia wake of fire Caressing s apart

"I want you I need to be inside you" He kissed entle I’m--sorry I can’t be--"

My body shattered as he pressed two fingers deep inside h ain, singathered behind my eyes, in my heart, , strong fingers sent sweat dewing onus in a spotlight of heat

"God, I want to be inside you Hard and deep I want to clai my ear

"Do it Take me"

I wanted him nohile I existed in this perfect selfish world where nothing else rief I kneaiting for er "God, you’re too fucking potent I can’t think straight I can’t control myself"

I whi, sliding in just a little

Turningto keep my hands away from him I wanted to pull him deeper, force him to take me fast The funda I couldn’t risk it He strained hiht and dark

Roan hovered, teasingwith stress "Makemy mind ant "Takeleft to fear"
