Chapter 40

-Alex's POV-

My hands wrapped around her neck, caging her against the wall. Her lust filled out stared back at me and it took everything in me not to tear her pretty little dress and take her against the wall but she had always been my temptation, my weakness. "Fuck me,

I let out a growl grinding my teeth, "Silver." It came out as a warning but I knew she wouldn't listen, "I dare you. You know you want to. Fuck me Alex."

Like that, every restraint slipped and I smashed my lips on hers. My claws extended, ripping her dress off her and she let out a gasp as my lips latched to one of her nipples. I bit down hard just the way she liked it.

"Alex please."

"Please what, Silver?"

My lips moved to the seconds, drawing the second bud into my hungry mouth, "Say it. Tell me exactly how you want it."

"I want you to... Fuck." She gasped out when my second hand slipped between her legs.

"Use your words, Silver."

"Fuck me. Please. I want you to fuck me."

I released her, turning her around. She arched her back towards me and then without warning, pulled out my dick and slammed

Taking a swig of my whiskey, I stared out the window at the relentless downpour. The Adrian I knew was long gone, consumed by a darkness that I woke up and walked with every single day of my life. His threats held no weight with me. He was getting exactly what he deserved for the life he took from me, the life he shattered.

Letting out a long sigh, I slumped deeper into the plush armchair closing my eyes then I felt her presence, "I was actually going to say a prayer of thanks to the Moon Goddess. I thought you had finally given me a helping hand and rid the world of you."

"If that's your way of saying you missed me, you aren't scoring any points," she sniped, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
