“Do it again.”
“Be more specific, baby.” I heard a smile in his words. He was enjoying this and wanted me to beg.
“Fuck you. You know what I mean.” I grunted in frustration.
“I actually don’t.” He stopped again. His rough hand remained between my thighs.
“Stop playing games, or I will stroke myself until I come.” I wiggled my ass, seeking a quick relief from the throbbing in my core.

"You're playing a dangerous game, Ms. Rose."
His voice was low and threatening as he backed me against the office wall. I could feel the heat radiating from his body, especially from the erection pressing against me.

Ash remembers.
And so does the throne buried beneath it.
The forest did not devour her. It bowed.
The flame did not die. It waited.
Until, in the silence between heartbeats, something older than gods whispered:
“She is not blessed. Sh...
