I gestured to the stool by the counter. "Sit."

She didn't move.

I shook my head, chuckling. "You like being told what to do, but you never actually listen."

I lifted her easily. She was leaner than the last time I touched her.

She stiffened for a moment, then let me place her on the island. Her legs dangled off the edge. "You must love it when I do it for you?"

My hands slid down the curve of her legs, resting at her bare feet. They were cold.

"You shouldn't be walking around barefoot," I said, rubbing warmth back into her toes, absentmindedly. Her body jolted when my thumb brushed a certain spot.

She gasped and clenched the edge of the island.

My eyes flicked up to hers, a smirk tugging at the corner of my mouth like I had just discovered a gold mine. "Sensitive here?"

I drew a circle along the arch of her foot. Her toes curled. Her breath hitched, lips parting. She bit down on the reaction.

I leaned closer. "Guess there are still things about your body I haven't learned yet."

  • Consumed By Darkness   044~ INTOXICATED

    Leah "If you were one of the girls at the auction," he said casually, "you'd have been easy to handle." He turned his head slightly, grinning up at me. "Still... I wouldn't trade this stubborn version of you for anything." I smacked him on the head with the dryer. Was that supposed to be a compliment? "Fuck!" he winced, laughing. "You're sick." "I was just saying..." I made to hit him again, but a knock at the door saved him. "I'll get it," he said quickly, already halfway there. I placed the dryer down and stared at the mirror. It looked back at me, cold and judging, reflecting a woman letting herself be touched by the very man she should hate. Fuck you. He returned a few minutes later with a black bag. He sat beside me, pulling out a small box. Inside was a silver necklace, the heart shaped emerald pendant shimmered in the light. "I had it custom made for you," he smiled, putting it around my neck without asking. His fingers brushing against my collarbone. "Beautiful

  • Consumed By Darkness   043~ AFTER YOU,

    Leah I left the room before the sun came up, slipping into the kitchen with a lot on my mind. I couldn't stay in that bed with him. Not after the question he asked. And my stupid heart wouldn't stop beating hard just because of it. Have you forgotten who he is? The reason you are here? This isn't some romance drama. Neither was it some romantic vacation. He kidnapped you. And right now you are fucking your way to freedom. I gripped the glass tighter. "Why aren't you coming back up?" I heard his voice. He was standing in the doorway, watching me with unreadable eyes. For fuck's sake. I just need space. Just a moment to think without him pressing into every fucking corner of my mind. "Godforbid a woman drinks water," I muttered, dropping the empty glass on the kitchen island. "You've been gone for hours." He must have been awake when I left. "Why? Can't sleep without me?" He stepped closer. I backed away, needing air, needing anything but his heat and scent. We need to d

  • Consumed By Darkness   042~ CHASING

    LeahMy whole body ached.Even the smallest movement made me wince.He went all out last night. Was he trying to make up for the days he wasn't around?That sex crazed demon.I cursed under my breath.My gaze drifted to the mirror across the room, and I turned away instantly. That damn mirror. My checks burned from the shame of a memory I wished I could erase from my mind.I buried my face in the pillow.The bathroom door creaked open. I peeked out from the pillow.Aiden stepped out, towel wrapped low around his hips, water dripping from his hair as he dried it with another towel. He looked perfectly fine. Meanwhile, I ached everywhere!"Look who's awake, my insatiable queen." He teased.I glared at him, cheeks burning hotter. "Don't call me that."He chuckled, approaching the bed. "Yes, my insatiable queen."He sat down beside me. I reached out and pinched his side, making him cry out dramatically."Bastard.""How are you feeling?" He asked, brushing hair from my face."Like I got

  • Consumed By Darkness   041~ LET YOU IN

    LeahI didn't dare move.I kept my eyes shut tight. I knew he was awake. I could feel him watching me. The warmth from his body pressed against my side, my cheek resting on his chest. My hand lying across his stomach.When did I move that close?I felt his fingers brush my hair from my face. The tips of his fingers making goosebumps spread along my arms.My heart was pounding so loud I bet he could hear it.He tilted my face up. I had no choice but to open my eyes. And there they were, those black hungry eyes."Good morning," he said, voice a deep lazy rumble.My heart skipped. I shifted, trying to roll away, needing space to think cause it was impossible with how close we were. But he gripped my waist, pulling me closer to him."Where do you think you're going, doll? After clinging to me all night?" He murmured, against my ear, the tip of his nose brushing the side of my neck. I shivered."I wasn't —" I started, but he cut me off with a sudden bite to my cheek, then a playful nip

  • Consumed By Darkness   040~ YET I

    LeahI had told myself several times that I would pretend like I didn't care when he came back. I would act indifferent, like I hadn't spent every day since he left waiting. When he came back, I had waited behind the door for him, watched the door knob turn but he didn't come in. I ended up opening it myself.I regret it now.My cheeks burned from shame. What if he thought I was desperate?I stole a glance at him where he sat on the sofa, still, while Storm cleaned his back. He hadn't made a sound, and he didn't look like he was in pain. Or maybe he was just good at hiding it.Earlier, when I saw his back and caught a glimpse of the red lashes crisscrossing his skin, a cold shiver had climbed up my legs. My breath hitched. I could almost hear the whip landing on his back.He endured this for seven days?When Freya told me about his punishment, I hadn't imagined anything close to this.A sick ache formed in my chest. He got hit because of me.No. No.This was his fault. Yes, everything

  • Consumed By Darkness   038~ UNINVITED

    Aiden The leash he thought he had on me snapped the second he touched her. He had used up all his chances with me.The public humiliation at the masquerade ball, I had let it go for her. Because I asked for it. But that mercy was dead now.I was stripped off my shirt. My arms spread wide, wrists chained to iron hooks bolted into stone. The head enforcer stepped behind me. He muttered, "Excuse me."The whip hissed through the air, the first lash sliding across my back. The pain followed immediately, sharp enough to jolt through my spin.I didn't scream.My jaw locked. Teeth clenched so tight, I feared it might crack.The second lash followed quickly, and so did the second with no time to prepare for the next.My nails dug into my palms.Pathetic.I was getting whipped like a dog and for a woman.How low have I fallen?Was she even worth it?I stared at the wall.She must have woken up by now.I chuckled. I bet she was happy I was gone. Probably wished I'd died.But this won't kill me
