KASMINE.

The phone dangled between Kester's fingers; the screen began to glow with the same name flashing persistently. Jake.

The way he held the phone, the way his jaw ticked beneath the dim sunset glow, the way his body coiled like a beast seconds away from striking-I knew I was in trouble.

Kester was a possessive man. Territorial to the point of madness. I had never tested his patience like this before. I'd danced around the edges of it, teased him with it, but now? Now, I had shoved a blade straight into the gut of his control.

"Where did you get that?" My voice came out hoarse, almost pathetic.

His lips twitched, but there was no amusement in his eyes. Only something terrifyingly dark. Something sharp enough to cut. "Where do you think, baby?"

I swallowed hard.

I had hidden it well. Or at least, I thought I had.

Kester hummed, tilting his head and running a thumb over the screen. "Funny thing about secrets, Mine," he murmured. "They don't stay buried for long." Then, right before my eyes, he turned and flung the phone into the water below. Gone..

I gasped, my pulse spiking, my body jerking forward instinctively like I could somehow retrieve it, but Kester was faster. His arm wrapped around my waist, dragging me back against his chest and forcing me to feel every ripple of muscle and every ounce of heat burning through his skin

He dipped his head, his lips brushing the shell of my ear. "I haven't killed him, you know..."

My heart stopped.

"He's just a boy," Kester continued, his voice so low and terrifying in its softness. "A small, fucking boy who doesn't even know what to do with a woman like you." He exhaled slowly, his fingers gripping my hips. "And because his late mother was once friends with mine, I let him breathe."

I trembled, my nails digging into the railing. "Kester-"

"But you," he cut me off, his teeth grazing my ear. "You're pushing me too hard, baby."

He turned me in his arms so fast my breath hitched, his dark, bottomless eyes pinning me.

"You keep testing me," he rasped, his thumb dragging along my throat. "Keep tempting me to be the man you know I can be." His hand slipped lower, curling around my waist. "Do you want me to snap?"

I whimpered, my knees locking together as his fingers slid up my thigh, under my dress, his knuckles brushing the heat between my legs.

"Tell me, Kasmine." His breath was a ghost against my lips, his body caging me

in, owning me, consuming me. Do you want me to remind you why no one else can have you?"

I hated how easily I melted for him.

How my body surrendered before my mind could even protest.

I should have been angry. I should have fought back. But instead, I ached.

His eyes dropped to my mouth, and in one swift move, he crushed his lips against mine.

It wasn't a kiss.

It was destruction.

He swallowed my gasp, his hand fisting my hair as he kissed me like he wanted to mark me from the inside out. His tongue thrust into my mouth, demanding, taking, owning.

I moaned into him, my body arching, my hands clutching at his arms.

"You're shaking," he murmured, his breath hot against my ear. "Is it fear... or pleasure?"

A pulse of heat shot through me, and I whimpered as his hand wrapped around my throat, forcing me to meet his
