He doesn’t give an explanation as he rolls us so that I’m trapped below him, and I’m still so shocked I forget I’m still in danger for just long enough that I’m trapped.

“You can’t leave because you're mine. I don’t give a fuck what Kol said. I can’t let you go. I won’t. You’re mine, Zela, and I’m yours, forever.”

I didn’t think it possible, but he sounds even more unhinged than usual, and as I begin to squirm, his brows pull together for a moment, and he pauses.

His eyes roam over me, and I’m not sure what he’s looking for, but as he pulls up my sweater, I know I won’t escape again.

It had taken everything I had the first time, and even then, it was more a stroke of luck than my own ability.

The air is thick, and I struggle to breathe as I try to move out of his hold, and still, all he does is watch.

Finally, he leans in, pressing his nose to my cheek. I feel him take a deep breath before he presses a kiss to my cheek that’s so gentle it has me questioning if I imagined it or not.

Jace doesn’t do gentle; I’m not sure he even knows how.

“Fuck, I’ve dreamt of the way your pussy will feel wrapped around me, milking my cock of every last drop of cum.” He groans, and the words are strangled and full of need as he presses into me.

His cock is hard, and as he pulls my legs open and slides between them, I can’t stop the sharp intake of breath as he presses against my clit.

I need therapy because, despite hating him, I still can’t deny I’m attracted to him, and it’s not even just his looks, though those help.

No, there's something about them, has been from the moment we met, and it’s only grown and festered as each day passed.

I want to fuck him about as much as I want to stab him again, but not here, and definitely not now, at least the fucking part.

I’d totally stab him again right now if I had a fucking knife.

He makes quick work of pulling his cock out, and instead of hesitating the way Ozy did, Jace is giddy as he sinks into me, muttering words of affection and love that would make a girl feel great if she wasn’t being taken against her will in the middle of the rainy woods by her psycho stepbrother.

We both groan as he bottoms out and he releases his hold on my arms in favor of gripping my hips, pulling back and slamming back into me hard enough that my pussy clenches and my eyes roll back in my head.

“Fuck, you look like a goddamn goddess like this,” Jace rasps, his fingers digging into the bony skin of my hips. He’s going to leave a mark, and for whatever reason, maybe I’ve hit my head one too many times, or maybe I just don’t care anymore, but I don’t hate the thought of carrying his marks around.

“Let me worship you, Little Fox. Let me ruin you,” he hisses, snapping his hips faster as he goes, and I don’t have it in me to speak, or I’d let him know he already has.

The fucking DuPonts have ruined everything, me included, and after this, I’m not sure there will be enough pieces left of the girl I was.

Or if I even want there to be.

My pleasure builds as he continues to fuck me like a man starved, and his words blur into a dull hum in the background as I look up at the trees that cage us in on all sides.

Movement to our right catches my attention, and when I look, I find a dark figure with an umbrella watching us. He’s dressed mostly in black, so he blends in pretty well, but his skin is pale, and there’s no missing the way he’s palming his crotch.

Kolson pisses me off on the best days, but something about knowing he wants me, craves what Jace has and he doesn’t, might never have…

Fuck, it’s like a drug pumping through me and pushing me right over the edge in the most intense orgasm I’ve ever had as I scream my release for the world to hear.

Jace’s smirk is cocky for a moment before it melts away, and his face morphs into one of shock, his head whipping up to look around, and my ears ring.

What the hell?

A shot rings out, startling me, and I realize I’d been so lost in him fucking me that I missed the first one.

I definitely need to get my head looked at.

This time, Jace jerks back, and his cock slips out, his attention elsewhere. I realize for the first time that it’s not quite as dark.

The sun is coming up!
