If we can forgive her?

I already know my answer.

But Vengeance is a unit. I look over at Vampire as always to see how he wants us all to respond.

Then I get the biggest surprise of my life since that ambush in the desert.

CHAPTER 26

VAMPIRE

If we can forgive her.

She’s a mess. Babbling. Repeating herself. Sobbing uncontrollably, her chest heaving with her request for forgiveness. She’s been through a lot this morning. She’s obviously emotionally and mentally wrecked. Probably exhausted too.

I should leave her alone. A good man would give her time to calm down, get her emotions in order, make sure she really meant everything she just said.

But I think there’s something we’ve all known from the start of this story. Or at least suspected.

I’m not.

I’m not a good man.

In a blink of an eye, I’m on her.

Crashing into her with my kiss, stripping her out of all those insolent clothes. There are a few moments of conscious thought. I pick her up in my arms and carry her to her bedroom and throw her onto the bed instead of dragging her down to the floor.

And then all civilized behavior is done. No foreplay. No words. No protection for either of us. Emotional, physical, or otherwise.

I fall on top of her and rut her like an animal. And she receives me like one too, burying her head in my neck and simply holding on as my hips slap into her. She understands that she is my mate. That this is and has always been her job on a primal level. Her pussy grips me tight, milking me as frantically as I’m riding her.

I’m a virgin in this manner too. I’ve never taken a woman raw before, much less a soul mate. The pleasure is unbelievable until an electromagnetic pulse wave booms through me, and my entire body goes rigid as I finally spill my seed into her womb.

For eons. There’s so much cum that her orgasm finishes, and she lies limp below me as my release continues to stream into her.

And it’s still not enough.

When I pull out and see my cum dripping from her stretched cunt, I’m hard again in an instant. I flip her over on her stomach and pull her plump ass in the air just enough to push back inside her pussy. Then I cover her again, wheezing with crazed animal grunts as I fuck her into another orgasm.

Soon more of my seed spills into her.

Still not enough.

I sit up and set her on my cock. Bounce her up and down until she’s sobbing that she’s sorry for ever leaving me. For ever leaving us before a third orgasm overtakes her.

She should be sorry.

I’m sorry too. For not actually being as psycho as she thought I was. Then.

I’m sorry for my restraint. I’m sorry for not letting myself have her in Nebraska. If I had known this treasure between her legs for even a few moments, this would have been prevented. I wouldn’t have let her run. I would have hunted her down to the ends of the earth.

“C’mon, V, that’s enough,” I hear Hyena say nervously in the distance.

We are Vengeance. But all he’s ever known is my calm cold. He never truly understood how I pulled him and Des-E out of that ambush. That it was boiling rage, not reflexes and cool focus as he assumed. He did not see the things I did to my sister’s boyfriend. This is the only secret I’ve ever kept from him and Des-E. That they temper me. They are my restraint. Not the other way around.

But we almost lost Allie. We almost lost her because I hid this side of me.

“It is not enough!” I yell out. At him. At the Fates that refused to let us truly be together until now.

Vengeance agreed that actually talking would be the punishment. For both her and us.

But there is a lesson here that still must be learned. I do not forgive her. Not yet.

I clamp a hand on the back of her neck and force her down like a predator animal who knows his mate is in heat and must be impregnated. Then I enter her again.

“You are ours now,” I tell her, my voice ugly with command as I pump into her. “There will be no more misunderstandings. You will not leave us again. You will not run. You will carry our babies, and let us, love, protect, and take care of you. There will be no more freedom from us for you. We. Are. Your. Plan. Now and forever. Say it, Allie.”

I am unhinged. No one. Not even Des-E or Hyena would blame her for denying me.

But the words come back to me. Clear and sweet.

“I’m yours,” she agrees as I roughly claim her for Vengeance. “You three are my plan. Now and forever. Thank you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for forgiving me.”
