Her heartbeat pounded profusely. I felt it against my chest. If I wasn’t holding her up, she definitely would have fallen to the ground from the sentiments I was demanding out of her.
“Why are you here, Onyx? What do you want?”
Her breathing hitched, and her lips parted when I started lightly grazing the crease of her inner thigh with the back of my fingers.
“What I’ve always wanted. You. Do you want a piece of me too?”
“Jesus, what did you take?”
“I told you, you’re poisonous for me.”
And just like that…
My resolve fucking shattered.
Neither one of us said anything, and the silence was deafening between us. However, it was the rage that was wreaking havoc in my mind. Whatever was happening between us was almost too much for me to understand.
Other than she was mine to play with, and that was the problem. I wanted more than just an oath to abide by…

I yearned for her body to be beneath mine.
Chapter
Twenty
Onyx: Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.
It was becoming obvious I couldn’t stay away from her. The thick black eyeliner on her alluring brown eyes messed with my mind, along with the glossy shine on her pouty lips, making them look bigger than they were.
Her hair was in pigtails, and I couldn’t help but envision gripping them while she was on her knees, completely at my mercy. I groaned at the mere thought. She caught my heady sound. There was no resisting the gravitational pull she had on me, the one we had on each other.
Then she licked her lips, fucking provoking me. My hands didn’t move from her waist, and just to hear her whimper, I gripped a little harder. She gave me what I craved. Hearing her tiny pathetic plea made my cock twitch.
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m at a party, Onyx. You know, it’s what people our age do.”
“Deja dress you?”
She looked down at herself. “You don’t like it?”
“I fucking hate it.”
“But I thought you liked to hunt.”
“So you did wear this for me?” Zeroing in on her, I tried to keep my temper in check.
“Don’t I fit the role you want me to play? I obviously do. I’m not the one who threw you over their shoulder, now am I? I’m just trying to fit in, and you just humiliated me again in front of most of the Academy.”
I never expected what happened next. With all her strength, she pushed me away, and I let her. As soon as she was out of my hold, she jumped off the tree branch and started to march her little ass back toward the party.
Before I even knew what I was doing, my feet were moving on their own accord, and she began running from me. I let her run, get as far away from me as she thought she could. I barely kicked up my pace, enjoying the sway of her skirt as it didn’t cover her ass as she ran away from me.
I liked the way her hair was flowing in the wind, the way her legs tore through the grass, the way she couldn’t get away from me fast enough. It was fun, watching her run from me. I enjoyed it far too much.
This was the best show I’d seen all night. There, with my hands in the pockets of my slacks, I walked behind her, never letting her out of my sight.
I mocked into the night, “You shouldn’t run into the woods, Little Red. Didn’t your grandmother warn you against wolves like me? I know she did!”
She quickly clipped to the left. I knew these woods like the back of my hand. Within seconds, I stood in front of her, and she ran straight into my chest.
I barely wavered, but she didn’t have such luck, stumbling to catch her footing with a loud huff, “Ooofff,” knocking all the air out of her lungs.
I growled from deep within my chest, tackling her to the ground. Making her body fall on top of mine, I flipped us over in a second. Her body was now beneath mine, and I caged her in with my arms on either side of her head, holding my body up, but I didn’t care if I was crushing her.
Pleasure came with pain in my world.
She glared at me. “Was that really necessary?”
“You should never run from me unless you’re looking to get hurt.” I leaned in, closing the small distance between us. “I could eat you until there’s nothing left of you. Is that what you want?” Slowly, I rubbed my lips over hers. I barely touched her mouth, but just enough to prove my point that she did want my lips on hers. “My mouth on you?” Back and forth, I brushed my lips along hers as I reached up and grabbed her face.
