my case, I can be. You want me to strip myself naked and ride you right here? I will. I will ensure all our guests see how much you make me scream when you’re fucking me. I don’t necessarily care if they watch. I only want you to make this visceral need end, now.”

“You would let me strip your succulent curves bare and fuck you here and now?” His eyes surveyed my face before moving to study the response of the crowd behind me. “I would act upon your request, but there are people here I don’t want knowing what you look like naked, Lena. I prefer not to let them see what is mine. From this point on, you’re only mine in that aspect. You broke the connection that was driving Spyder insane. You saved him by allowing him to have what the magic needed, but that ended. So, too, did your stent of voyeurism with the patrons of my club. I have claimed you openly, in a select way that makes us both exclusive to one another. I am off the market and menu now, and so are you, Lena,” he stated firmly, his tone carrying authority.

I swallowed, staring into the depths of never-ending stars that lit within his gaze. His hands lowered, gripping my hips to drag my apex against his rock-hard length. His lips jerked into a sinful smirk, and I moaned loudly, dropping my head back as he forced my clit to hit against his cock.

“Be a good girl for me tonight, and I will make sure you come until you’re exhausted and sated of that need driving you to be bold right now,” he replied, holding my gaze as I opened my eyes once more, uncaring that it was heavily hooded from lust, and need. “You’re the most exquisite thing I have ever in my life encountered, woman. You’re a fire that burns without being kindled and one that will never be put out. I would end worlds for you and anything or anyone who thinks to harm you.”

I heard gasps coming from the crowd, as if his words meant something more. Or maybe they feared he would destroy this world for me? Leaning closer, I rained kisses across his jawline, slowly working my way from one side to the other. He chased my kiss, which emboldened me. Nipping his lip, he growled from deep in his chest, the sound building as it rose to his lips.

“Brazen wench,” he chuckled.

“You like me all over you, or you would have just given the clientele a verbal warning. You want everyone here to see us together, so they would visually know that I am yours. This is for them, not us. We know in our hearts, who we belong to, don’t we?” I asked, praying to any deity listening that he offered me confirmation.

He smirked, holding my stare until something rustled beside me. I closed my eyes as every instinct within me sounded, blaring that there was an incoming threat to Lucian. My wings opened, ripping the back of my dress as they expanded.

I moved without warning, slicing my wings toward the threat as I spun, sending a roundhouse kick at the decapitated body, following through to kick the head into the crowd.

Blood painted those close to us, and my power unleashed, giving a warning to anyone else threatening Lucian or me. A hush fell over the club, and the record scratched to a halt as the music stopped.

I hissed loudly, letting the anger and rage I’d felt escape through the club to those inside the room. A deep chuckle forced my attention to Lucian, who watched me with laughter sparkling in his darkening depths.

“I believe she only intended to offer us drinks, Lena.” His brow rose as his gaze dipped to the tray that sat on the stage, expensive scotch spilling out from the green bottle. The scent of it deflated my ego, and my wings slowly curled before folding back into my spine.

I silently slid back onto Lucian’s lap, throwing a peeved look at the crowd, who remained silent, covered in splatters of blood from the serving girl. Bristling in place, I turned to narrow my eyes on Lucian as he leaned back, enjoying my frustration.

“You should really put bells on the servers, along with flashing nametags. It would extend their lifespan, immensely.”

“Or you could not kill them.” he laughed.

“Or that, but the other aforementioned items would include me being able to tell them
