Kael’s words land heavily, like invisible shackles tightening around my neck. Like an executioner’s noose that would leave me dangling from the tip of his finger, like the pawn he so badly wants to believe I am.

His hand guides mine to unfasten the button of his pants, freeing his manhood. He’s already fully aroused and still guiding my hand, he wraps it around his manhood, stroking a slow rhythm.

Like we’re not tearing into each other at the moment. His manhood is warm against my palm and it twitches. at my touch. His eyes trail down to watch our hands stroke him, and I can’t help staring as well.

The contrast between our skin tones, the size of our hands and the way our fingers are partly entwined, sends a strong jolt of desire right down to my sex.

Instinctively, I tighten my grip around him.

Kael gasps in quiet approval, his tongue darting out to wet his lips. His eyes return to holding mine captive as his lips part in a low moan.

I should pull away… I should, but I don’t.

What kind of man pleasures himself in the heat of an argument? And makes me participate in it? Only Kael. And yet, the heat pooling in my lower belly only grows stronger.

Maybe I’m just that. Maybe I’m Kael’s pawn. Between Cameron and Kael, I’ve let myself become someone I can’t even recognize, while he? He’s still the same old Kael.

The man who wants to control everything about me, but still can’t make up his mind on what exactly he wants out of this.

He acts like he’ll give everything and anything to get Cameron to his knees. But when it comes down to it, he’s been toying around since we returned. Applying just enough pressure to unsettle Cameron, but still holding

back.

Kael, he could have crushed Cameron already if he wanted to. He’s built his strength for three years just for that. He’d gathered enough to pin Cameron without a way of escape, even excluding me.

Yet he’s been taunting his brother for weeks now, never taking a decisive action.

Our contract will only end when Kael is Alpha Blackwood instead of Cameron. But at this rate, Kael will take a few more years and I’m losing patience with the Blackwoods.

He just can’t decide exactly what part he wants me to play in his revenge against Cameron. He just can’t decide if he wants me panting and moaning beneath him or his brother.

One moment, he sets me up with Cameron, all alone in a loft when I’m still reeling from old feelings resurfacing. Testing the limits of my self control and loyalty.

And the next, he’s spiraling about me meeting Cameron outside of his plans… and mine.

Like I couldn’t have slipped out of his hands right then and there in Axis Loft if I was going to.

I can’t understand him. His motivations have always been unclear to me. He never lets me in on anything but just expects me to know how not to get in the way of his plans.

But how am I supposed to know I’m getting in the way if he won’t tell me anything?

All along, I thought he brought me back here to push Cameron off the edge. And I’m doing that. at least 1 think I am. So what more does he want? Why does he get restless whenever he sees me together with Cameron?

What rights does he even have to expect loyalty from me when he’s not capable of giving it himself? He doesn’t even have the decency to be remorseful about fucking Julie a few minutes after his dick was down my throat.

Unapologetic, self absorbed… he pushes my every limit. That’s just what Kael does.

And he does it all while stirring an unquenchable heat in my lower belly. His hands trail the side of my neck, as if checking how easy it would be to snap.

He’s still stroking himself steadily, not enough to drive him over the edge, just enough to keep him circling around his needs,

While my other is placed flat against his chest. Like I want to push him away, and a few times, I think I’m going to. But I don’t.

He’s grinds into my hand, and he grunts quietly, his head dropping to my shoulders. My panties dampen and I grit my teeth, fighting the urge to clamp my legs together.

Kael’s quiet moans are doing things to me that I can’t put into words. And he knows it…

He shouldn’t affect me like this. I don’t have any special feelings towards Kael save for this damning lust that’s clouding my better judgement.

Since the gala, the tension between us that has simmered beneath the surface for three years has broken free. And the longer we stay together, the closer it gets to the breaking point.

He’s standing so close that the warmth of his breath fans over my face, I can feel his body heat radiating off of him, I can smell his arousal, can hear his pants as he teases himself with my hand and he doesn’t even care to

hide it.

Rather, he flaunts his desire for me right in my face like a weapon. He wants me to know…wants me to see and feel him… his need.

For what? I just can’t wrap my head around it.

“What? Cat got your tongue?” He hisses lowly.

His accusations are sharp and biting. But I don’t flinch away from it. I won’t give him the satisfaction.

“Everything is a competition to you Kael.” I murmur finally, exhaling a breath to calm my heated skin.

“Everything is a scheme, and everyone has ulterior motives. You’re a man who only sees the darker sides to people…”

“But have you considered the fact that perhaps, what you see is just a reflection of your own darkness?”

Kael’s eyes narrow slightly. My grip around his manhood tightens further and I increase the pace of our joint strokes

His breaths are faster, his lips fall open in a soundless moan and he doesn’t try to stop me from driving him over the edge.

He holds my gaze the entire time, and a smirk stretches his lips as his hand falls away, letting me retrieve mine.

His cum stains both our hands, and all over our floor adding to the mess. But that’s the last thing on either of our minds,

“You never answered my question.” He points out. His hand trails my inner thighs and my breath catches.

“Wh… what question?” I ask uncertainly,

“Do you want it?” He asks, his gaze darting down to his manhood. “It’s yours if you do.”

I exhale a low, trembling breath. He says it like whatever I say now will determine the course of our marriage going forward.

Nights alone, with a wall separating us, would become nights trembling beneath the heat of Kael’s body, and his relentless desires.

Most women would jump at the opportunity.

“I don’t make love with rebels.” I say, my hand moving to his wrist to prevent him from inching closer to my

sex.

“Who said anything about making love, Laila?” Kael asks, his breath hot against my skin.

“Right.” I agree, “A good fuck is all you have to offer. But I can get that anywhere Kael, you’re not the only thing with a dick in Thorneville.”

Kael’s brows quirk and his lips twitch slightly, amusement shining in his eyes. “Are you rejecting me right now, Laila?”

“Rejecting you?” I scoff. “That’s only possible if I ever chose you in the first place, isn’t it?”

Kael stiffens. I don’t wait to see his expression, getting off the counter, I brush past him and head up to my

room.
