The Marriage Debt (Underworld Kings)

She swallows and nods a little.

What she needs is a little motivation.

Jill

He suddenly lunges to the cabinet next to him and fishes something out of the drawer. He’s so quick I don’t see what it is until he’s already pushed it around my neck and locked it in place. My hand instantly moves to my throat, clutching whatever it is he put there, and only then do I realize what it is.

A collar.

With a tiny bunny attached at the end of a loop.

“No, no, no, take this off,” I say, scratching at it in the hopes that I can tear it away, but it won’t budge.

He twirls the only key around his finger, showing off the power he holds with a smirk on his face. The kind that makes me scoot back on hands and knees while he reaches into the drawer to take out something else.

A leash.

I shake my head. “Get that thing away from me.”

I crawl back as far as possible until I hit the wall with my back while he approaches ever so slyly. His length is still as hard as ever, glistening with saliva and pre-cum, the mere sight making me gulp. I’ve never seen anyone this huge, but more importantly … I’ve never licked one the way I just did.

How do I pretend to know what I’m doing when I have no clue?

I can’t let him find out about my inexperience because he’ll use it against me.

He steps closer and closer until he’s right in front of me, and I’m begging him with my eyes to have mercy even though I’d never say the words out loud. It’s what he wants the most, me begging, and I refuse to give that to him.

But dammit, the second he leans over, I’m about ready.

“Please …” I murmur, desperate as I look up into his eyes while he clicks the leash in place around the collar.

“Please what, bunny?” he muses, tipping up my chin.

When I don’t say another word, he smiles, and says, “Please … me.”

He grips the leash with a fist and tugs hard, pulling me up along the wall until I’m standing.

“You’re despicable,” I say through gritted teeth.

“And you’re in need of a little education,” he muses. His tongue dips out to lick his lips. “You thought I’d be satisfied with a little bit of sucking?” He pulls the leash to force me closer until his mouth is right beside my ear. “I need your full submission, bunny.”

Goose bumps scatter across my skin. No man has ever spoken to me like that before.

Then again, Luca is no man.

He’s a monster, and that’s all he’ll ever be to me.

“You act all tough and smart-ass, but it’s all a disguise, and I see right through it, Jill,” he says, his hand slowly sliding farther up my thigh until it becomes hard to breathe. “You’re hiding something, and I’ll find out what it is,” he whispers, his grip on the leash growing tighter as he pushes himself up against me, hard-on poking my thigh as he breathes into my ear. “And if you won’t tell me your secrets, I guess I’ll have to fuck them out of you.”

My whole body zings when his fingers reach my panties, and I try so hard not to react, but it’s hard when he tugs them aside and slips underneath. I hold my breath, but the second he touches my slit, I’m done for.

A breathy gasp leaves my lips as he circles my clit, sliding slowly between my slit like he’s enjoying the feel of my flesh around his finger. He groans against my ear, baring his teeth to nibble on my earlobe, and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t turn me on.

“I remember the way you trembled for me the first time I did this to you, Jill,” he murmurs, expertly swiveling across my pussy. “I remember every shiver, every breath, every moan …” He fists the leash harder and pulls me even closer, forcing me to feel his dick poke into my thigh like a looming promise. “How wet you were for me when I fucked you with my knife.”

My eyes burst open as his finger presses against my clit.

“Do you remember too, Jill?” He slides his finger farther and farther between my slit until he finds my entrance again, and when he thrusts in, I gasp.

“You will give it all to me again, and again, and again,” he groans, fucking me with his finger.

Oh, God. It’s been so long ago, but I remember it as if it happened yesterday.

He snuck into my room through the window at my parents’ house, all wet and hungry-looking. Every move he made only pushed me more into a corner until I had nowhere left to go.

And when he got his hands on me, it was like everything else ceased to matter.
