"Do you have any idea what would happen if I claimed you right now?" His deep voice echoed, making me swallow hard.
"What do you mean?" I muanaged to ask, breathless and amazed that I could speak without stumbling over my words. Was he really going to claim me when I wasn't even his mate?
"It means that every part of you would be mine..." He replied, his voice low as he reached out, gently brushing his thumb against my lip.
"If any man dares to touch you... even just a fraction of how I do,"...

You can try to escape, but for as long as I live, you will never be rid of me,” the voice insisted, growing even closer.
My heart raced anxiously as I started to run in the dark, I had no plan exactly, other than escape from him before he could get to me.
As I ran, I tripped over something and fell to the ground with the candlestick rolling away from me.
“I told you before Mona, you can never escape me,” the voice said from behind me.
I turned on my heels, staggering away, when I ran into someth...

"Come on, what are you waiting for? Do it." He let go, his sapphire eyes still fixed on me as he pulled his cock out, "and you'd better do it soon, I still have too many things to do."

It wouldn't fit, it was too thick....

"You can’t tell anyone that we are mates.”
I tremble, staring up at my newest monster with pleading eyes. "Then reject me and we won’t be.”
“If I do that, I might as well have you executed.”
“Good.”
He flinches and his eyes melt to liquid gold as he studies me. "No. I'm not going to give you your escape."
"Then I’ll reject you!" I say, anger boiling in my gut.
He snatches my throat and sparks heat my flesh. "Do it and I will put you back in that prison and forget that you ever existed." He stare...
