Chapter 17

Pleasuring Cora hadn’t been part of the plan. But she looked so fucking beautiful down on her knees, took my cock in her pretty little throat so well, that I felt she deserved a treat.

It doesn’t make me soft. It makes me smart.

Giving, rather than just taking from my girl, is what will make her fall in love with me. My girl doesn’t know the meaning of the words pleasure and pain. Not yet.

But she will.

She needs to learn to not only accept my brutal pleasure, but to love and crave it.

And she will. My little darkness will crave everything I have to offer.

I’m playing the long game with her. Molding her in my image, taking the time to make her what I need her to be. I’ve got time. Because Cora’s a good girl. So long as no one else gets to her first, she’ll be mine.

I have no qualms killing anyone who tries.

In fact, I’m quite looking forward to it.
