Only Pleasure (Bound Hearts 10)

She could feel herself incinerating. So close to release. So close to losing that last edge of desperation.

"Chase. " Her back bowed as Khalid's hands slid up her waist, cupped her breasts. "Fuck me. Take me, damn you. Give me this at least. "

At least the pleasure.

She felt him move, cover her, his forehead pressing into her neck when he finally snarled her name. And he moved.

As though the fragile threat of control that held them back had snapped, Khalid and Chase erupted with savage, male sounds of hunger.

They began to move, thrusting, stroking. It wasn't easy. She didn't want easy. It was hard and deep. They plunged inside her, cocks pumping, thrusting in synchronous rhythm. The slap of flesh, wild moans, hers or theirs, she didn't know which.

She knew the pleasure was too much. She knew she was dying, burning alive and begging for more. Harder. Faster. Anything to burn through the tight knot of torturous need ripping through her.

Pleasure and pain didn't compare. There was so little pain. The burn, the need, the agonizing hunger for more. That was pain. And pleasure. There was no word for the pleasure. It was pure ecstasy. It was wrapped in blazing heat. It was destroying her from the inside out and re-creating some part of her that she wondered if she should fear.

"So sweet. " Chase was kissing her neck, her shoulders, impaling her ass with blistering, hard strokes. "Ah God. Kia. Baby. I need you. So fucking need you. "

She could feel it, tightening.

"Sweet baby. God, I love your body, love…" His teeth bit into her shoulder, and she came apart in their grip.

Kia gave herself to it, tried to scream, but only managed a desperate wail of completion as she felt the tight knot of her clit, the tortured tension in her womb, simply explode. It shattered inside her. Fragments of who she had once been melted beneath a cascade of whoever she was now.

Behind her, Chase cried out her name, bucked, jerked, and she froze.

The pleasure was still a white-hot shower of intensity, and it magnified.

His semen pulsed into her rear. Liquid heat, spurting inside her as he turned her head to the side, bent to her, and stole her breath with a kiss that threw her higher, hotter, that stole her soul.

She was only barely aware of Khalid's release, of his shuddering breaths, the thick throb of his cock as he spilled inside the condom he wore.

But behind her. Behind her she felt Chase. She felt him at her lips. Felt him inside her, a part of her, and she felt the tears that eased from her eyes.

Because she knew she would never be the same again. She had wanted to be what she thought could hold the man who now spilled his seed inside her.

She had wanted to be wild, courageous, and she had wanted to be a woman who could just take the pleasure he had to give.

She wasn't that woman.

Chapter 10

Chase was in the bathroom, likely hiding out, as males are wont to do when they are in a cowardly frame of mind, Khalid thought mockingly.

Kia lay in the center of her huge bed, a small, huddled little form who had cried silent tears as she climaxed between him and Chase.

Khalid finished dressing and sat down on the edge of the bed, staring back at her until she lifted those damp lashes and looked at him miserably.

He remembered being here two years before, realizing her screams and her tears weren't those of an aroused woman, and feeling fury shaking his soul. He had nearly killed Drew that night. He had wished more than once that he had left the bastard lying in his own blood.

He leaned closer and brushed her hair from her cheek, watching her tenderly.

"Tell him," he told her gently.

Her breathing hitched.

"Do you believe it would harm my feelings to know you do not wish my presence here any longer?" He waved his hand to the bed, feeling his chest tighten again as her eyes filled with tears. "My dear, as tragic as forgoing such pleasure would be, this is not what you need now. Tell him. Demand your due. "

She looked away from him, but he saw the flash of steel in her eyes. She was already there, he realized. It was the reason for the tears.
