The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0217

I’m surprised when his hand wraps around mine. Pressing the knife a little deeper into his skin. “Then you should kill me now. Because I want you to be mine in every single way!”

My breath hitches in my throat and I have trouble concealing it. At some point, he had crossed the lines from being usable, to fuckable to now, where he is actually desirable. He still has a long way to go, but willing to kill himself for me adds another notch to his bow.

The dribble of blood turns into a trickle. Running down over the blade and into our hands. He doesn’t flinch and his gorgeous dark eyes stay on mine.

It’s only when my hand loosens on the knife that he lets go. The knife clatters to the floor and I was momentarily grateful for the dark carpet. I would have lost my shit if blood was on a cream carpet. It’s almost impossible to get out.

I watch his wound heal, leaving a smear of blood on his neck. Damn he looked hot.

But no, I won’t give in to him, not tonight, not after he pulled that shit.
