“Hey, wait!” I say. “What about the house? Shouldn’t we grab more supplies or something?”

“Too heavy.”

He’s back to his usual grumpy self.

I don’t like it one bit.

Especially because I was just getting used to the comfort of an actual roof over my head.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Who’s waiting for us?” I ask.

Of course, he doesn’t answer. He heads straight into the forest again, leaving behind the cabin as though we never made it our own. But that place will forever be marked as the spot where he fucked me like a beast unchained … where I lost my virginity to my captor.

I swallow hard as I follow him, trying to keep up. His steady pace is so much faster than my normal walk. With his giant feet, he gets to where he wants in no time. But I’m hanging on behind, attached to a rope, attempting not to fall on every rock, and it’s hard.

“Can we slow down a bit?” I ask, biting my lip when my toes hit a sharp rock. “I’m trying not to fall over here.”

“No.” His responses have been even more brisk ever since what happened between us.

It’s like he’s mad at me or something, but that doesn’t make any sense. I wasn’t the one who fucked him.

“Are you mad at me or something? I already told you, I removed that thing because you were in pain.”

“It doesn’t matter,” he responds, chopping away at the branches in his way like he’s a butcher.

“Yes, it does. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be blazing around the forest like this. You’re obviously upset and taking it out on the trees.” I sigh. “And me.”

He glances at me over his shoulder with a look that would make any girl shut up immediately. “My metal was protecting you.”

I swallow. “Well … if it was there to protect me, does Eli have one too?”

He frowns. “What does that have to do with this?”

“Because if he doesn’t, then why do you? He punishes girls too.”

“That’s different.”

“No, it isn’t,” I respond. “And I know that house was all about sin, so Eli and Tobias must have had something to stop themselves too.”

“Not this metal,” he growls.

I know I’m asking a lot, but as long as he’s answering, I’m gonna try to figure this out.

“Then why did you have one on your crotch?”

“I already told you. Customs,” he spits back, and he continues walking. “And you took that away.”

“It’s not a good custom if it hurts you,” I retort. “And me.”

“Hurt?” He raises a brow at me. “You seemed to like it.”

I scoff, turning red again, but I’m glad he’s not looking. “How would you know?”

“Your wet pussy said enough,” he quips.

I want to kick and punch him in the face, but I know I can’t win that fight.

Ugh, why is he so infuriating? And why does he still make me blush?

Fuck.

“Easy for you to say. It wasn’t important or special to you. But you robbed me of my first time and—”

Suddenly, he halts, and I almost smash into him again. He spins on his heels to face me with a menacing look. “Do not ever say that again.”

“What?” I can barely look up at him as he towers over me.

“It was …” He puts his finger against my chest. “Special.”

A few seconds pass as we gaze at each other, my heart pounding so hard I bet he can feel it with that one finger. And I want to simultaneously smack it away and kiss him on the lips right then and there.

Fuck. I’ve really lost myself, haven’t I?

“That metal was there for a purpose,” he says. “It was my first, too.”

Then he turns around and marches off, leaving me flabbergasted.

Only when I’m tugged along by the rope do I realize I have to keep moving so I don’t fall flat on my face and get dragged along.

Soren was a virgin?

Chapter 21

Soren

Every step I take makes the burden heavier, but I refuse to quit now. I have a job, a duty to fulfill, and I’ll be damned if I don’t complete it. But being with this woman has brought out the worst in me.

I knew I was a savage, but I never realized just how good it could feel. And what I had been missing out on all these years.

I thought torturing people excited me, but fucking her was the biggest thrill I’ve ever had … and I want more.

Which is why I must keep her on a leash. Keep her away from me so I don’t ravage her a second time.

But now that I had a taste … the forbidden fruit keeps luring me in.

Every time I glance over my shoulder at those sweet cheeks and those beautiful eyes, I want nothing more than to throw her up against a tree and fuck her from behind, lick her body, make her scream my name.
