“Suck on me,” he said. “Like you did before. Now.”

Bella sat up, splaying her hands over his belly as he let himself fall back on the bed. When he was stretched out, she crawled onto his chest, putting her mouth just where he wanted it. As she took one of the hoops in, he roared again, not giving a shit who else in the house might hear him.

He planned on being as loud as he wanted. Fuck it, he planned on yelling the damn door down.

As she sucked, he shrugged out of his leathers and reached down, taking himself in his hand and stroking. He wanted her mouth there, but as wild as he was, he wouldn’t force her.

But she knew what he wanted. Her hand took the place of his on his dick, and she fell into a rhythm that nearly killed him. She slid up and down on his shaft, slipping back and forth over his head, all the while licking and tugging at his nipple. She was in total control, playing him hard, and he loved it, loved the suffocation, the sweat, the agony of wanting to come while never wanting her to stop.

“Oh, yeah, nalla. . . .” He dug into her hair, panting. “Work me out.”

And then she moved down his chest and onto his belly. In anticipation, he bit his lower lip so hard he tasted his own blood.

“Is this okay with you?” she asked.

“If you don’t mind—” She covered him with her lips. “Bella.”

Her mouth was glorious. Wet and warm. But he wasn’t going to last more than thirty seconds like this. He sat up and tried to get her head out of his lap, but she fought him.

“I’m going to come . . .” he moaned. “Oh, God . . . Bella, stop, I’m going to . . .”

She didn’t. And he . . .

The first convulsion snapped him in half so hard he fell back on the mattress. The second lifted his hips up, pushing him farther into her mouth. And the third took him to heaven.

As soon as he could pull his shit together, he reached for her, bringing her mouth to his. He tasted his bonding scent on her lips and tongue and liked it there.

Relished it there.

He rolled her over. “Now it’s your turn. Again.”

“Are you okay?” Zsadist said some time later.

Bella opened her eyes. Z was lying next to her, his head on his curled arm.

God, her neck was sore, and so was the inside of her. But the hedonistic glory he’d let loose was worth the creaks and groans. Zsadist had loved her hard, just as she’d always wanted him to.

“Bella?”

“Yes. Yes, I am.”

“You said you didn’t want to be avenged. You still mean that?”

She covered her breasts with her hands, wishing real life had stayed away a little longer. “I can’t bear the idea of you going out and getting hurt because of me.”

When he didn’t say anything, she reached out and touched his hand.

“Zsadist? What are you thinking?” The silence went on and on until she couldn’t stand it any longer. “Talk to m—”

“I love you.”

“What . . . ?” she breathed.

“You heard me. And I’m not going to say it again.” He stood up, grabbed his leathers, and pulled them on. Then he went into the bathroom. He came back a moment later fully armed with his daggers on his chest and his gun belt fastened around his hips.

“So here’s the damage, Bella. I can’t stop hunting that lesser who did those things to you. Or the bastards he works with. Can’t. So even if I were picture-perfect like Phury, even if I could pull his smooth moves with the polite shit, even if I wouldn’t make your family cringe, I can’t be with you.”

“But if you—”

“I’ve got war in my blood, nalla, so even if I hadn’t gotten all fucked-up in the past, I would still need to be in the field fighting. I stay with you, you’re going to want me to be different than I am, and I can’t turn into the kind of hellren you’re going to need. Eventually my nature would blow up in both our faces.”

She rubbed her eyes. “If I follow that logic, why do you think I can be with Phury, then?”

“Because my twin is wearing out. He’s getting tired. I’m part of the reason, but I think it would have happened anyway. He likes teaching those recruits. I could see him training full-time, and we’re going to need that. That would be a good life for you.”
