“I can’t stop, Sara.” His voice shook with emotion.
I cocked my head, watching him. “Stop what?”
He paused, his eyes an endless storm of hunger and pain. “Can’t get you out of my head. I’m craving you, needing you.”
I took a tentative step toward him, keeping my voice calm. It felt like cornering a jaguar, and I tried to keep my heart from racing. “I’m right here, Dev.”
He spun toward me, grabbing my upper arms, his fingers gripping hard enough to bruise. “It’s not enough. It’s never enough. I need more. I want to consume you, Seraphina. Every atom of your mind and body, I want it all for myself.”
I swallowed, unsure what to say. He looked ready to commit murder or strip me naked and take what he needed. I had to stay calm. “I’m yours, Dev.”
Dev’s eyes lit with fire and he spun me around, shoving my chest into a wall and pinning my hands behind my back. I bit back a yelp of surprise.
“No. You’re theirs.” He spat the words at me, his hot breath tickling my skin.
What was this about? He didn’t like to share? My mind was panicking even as my body heated under his roaming hands. “I’m still yours too, Dev.”
He snarled, tugging at my hips and crumpling my dress. I could feel the seams beginning to tear and I decided to try another tactic. I turned my head and narrowed my eyes at him.
“Hey, asshole. You’re ripping my new dress.”
His eyes turned feral, and my mouth popped open as he pulled out a pocket knife. “Fuck your dress.” Dev slipped the knife down my spine, cutting the dress clean in half.
I gasped and tried to turn around, but Dev shoved me hard against the wall as he used his free hand to drop his pants and pull out his hard-as-fuck cock. I licked my lips, and he tracked the movement like a predator.
“Dev, whatever you want from me, it’s yours. I’m yours and you’re mine.”
Dev growled and ripped my thong clean off, the fabric pinching my skin as it snapped. He forced my legs further apart and slid his fingers between my thighs. “You have no idea what that means.”
Suddenly his mouth was on my neck, and he bit down hard. I screamed just as his fingers thrust inside me and my pain faded to pleasure.
He lifted his bloody lips to my ear, and I cried out as he shoved a third finger inside me. My pussy clamped down on his fingers greedily, urging him on.
“I’m going to ruin you, Seraphina. I’m lost to this darkness, beautiful. And I’m too fucking selfish not to drag you down with me.”
I could barely breathe as Dev bit and licked at my shoulder, as his fingers curled inside me, hitting that glorious spot and bringing me closer to the edge.
“I’m already lost in the dark, Dev. We’re already in this together.”
Dev groaned. Ripping his fingers out and gripping my hips, he shoved his cock fully inside me. I cried out, my body shaking with pain and pleasure from the sudden assault. I pressed my now free hands against the wall, trying to gain some control. He snarled and lifted my hips to where my feet barely touched the ground as he pounded into me. I felt the orgasm building inside me like a fucking runaway train.
“You should run, Seraphina,” Dev panted, thrusting harder. “Run before your soul is destroyed.”
“My soul is burned black, Dev. Take it. I don’t want it.” I bit out the words.
Fuck. My body felt like it wasn’t my own, and I poured every ounce of my soul into the monster owning me. Dev reached around and pinched my clit, and I screamed as the orgasm crashed through me.
“All we can offer you is pain,” Dev groaned, his cock swelling as he spilled inside me.
He pulled out and stepped back, letting me crumple to the floor, my legs too shaky to stand.
I looked up into his hard eyes, so full of hate and pain. “Dev…”
Dev pulled his pants up swiftly and went to the door. “It’s just too late.”
He didn’t look back as he slammed the door and left. I curled my legs up to my chest and pressed my back to the wall. My dress floated in front of me like a blanket, torn and ruined. What just happened? I barely recognized this version of Devon Parrish. He looked practically daemonic.
I stared at nothing as my body shook with spent adrenaline, my eyes blurring. I barely registered the click of the door as it opened. Andras dropped in front of me, his movements slow and gentle as he reached out to take my hand. Ty and Levi stood behind him, his face telling me he heard bits and pieces of the bizarre altercation on the earpiece.
