heat of her body even through the chill of the water.

I slowly turned around, my anger abating the moment I was able to see her pensive eyes as she hovered in one place. Her long arms created rings of water, beads of water on her face shimmering in the pool lighting. At that moment, she took my breath away.

Stunning.

Provocative.

I even gathered a glimpse of her rosy nipples, the sight making my mouth water. I shoved aside my desire, cocking my head as I glared at her.

“What are you doing?” I asked, swimming closer.

She paddled away a few inches, a slight smile curling on her lips even though her eyes held hesitation. “Seeing if you’d come find me.”

I hadn’t been prepared for her playful attitude and in truth, it didn’t make any sense. She was taunting the beast, pushing him too far. What was her point? “I already told you, if you attempted to run, I would find you no matter what lengths I had to take. You defied me.”

“Yes.”

All the anger seemed swept away, replaced by a sense of relief. A moment of anguish also settled in, the longing I felt for her entirely different than it had been just minutes before. I swam closer, able to see the swell of her breasts as the water ebbed and flowed. She was even more dazzling with her wet hair, the light reflecting off her sun-kissed hair.

“And you deserve punishment,” I said gruffly.

“Only if you catch me.” She dove into the water, pushing off from the rocks, her body shooting past me.

Snarling, I ripped the shirt over my shoulders before following her, the hindrance of the trousers keeping me inches away. But it was only a matter of time. She was going nowhere. I wrapped my hand around her ankle, yanking her backward, the adrenaline rushing through every cell and vein.

She struggled as I pulled her against my chest, her eyes open in the water as she beat her hands against my chest. There was no fear in her actions, merely an attempt to find out what I would do.

I fisted her hair, pulling her face closer even as the slight current from the waterfall pushed us in a full circle. When a full smile crossed her face, I pushed us up from the bottom, breaking through to the surface.

There was no holding back. I captured her mouth as I held the back of her head, refusing to let her go. I didn’t care that she deserved to face my wrath, her punishment warranted. I only wanted to indulge in the raging hunger that was threatening to consume my entire being.

Alessandra entangled her fingers in my hair, her other hand pressed firmly against my chest. She wrapped her leg around mine, still attempting to garner control even as I eased my hand down, wrapping my finger around the thin elastic of her panties. There was no hesitation as I ripped them away, her gasp of surprise nothing but a delicious reward.

As the passion exploded between us, my cock pressing hard against my pants, she undulated her hips back and forth. Her moans fueled the fire burning deep within, my blood pressure rising as the throbbing in my shaft increased. I was on fire, the flames licking at every surface.

She raked her fingers over my shoulders, dragging her nails down my back, exciting me even more. I was no longer able to keep my promise, my control slipping away as the thirst for her increased. The taste of her was so damn sweet and as I dominated her tongue, she purred around the embrace.

The woman could have no way of knowing what she was doing to me, the jet fuel that had replaced my blood. I’d once hungered for the warmth of a body against mine, a woman I could hold all night long as the nightmares rushed to the surface. That had been long ago replaced with the necessity of fulfilling my dark needs, a sadistic longing that also refused to be denied.

What I wanted from her was everything; marking her porcelain skin with my belt, staining her skin with my ink, and piercing her nipples and clit with my family crest. I would do all them and more. She would be labeled as mine. Mine to keep.

Mine to train.

Mine to fuck.

And I would show her the pleasures of raw pain and pure bliss, taking her to utter peace as her mind floated away.

But all in good time.

I broke the embrace, gripping
