His eyes snapped closed again, his fingers feathering hard around my throat. Marching me backward, he shoved me out onto his deck, struggling to release me and step back. “Go. Leave. Fuck off.” He doubled over as he fought another crippling wave of lust. His cock thickened until it strained against his trousers, searching for a way free.
Should I help him? Undress him? Undress myself?
Was I prepared for him to grab me?
I was wet enough for his quick entry but should I remove my clothes and—
“Go, Eleanor!” His snarl sent pure fear through my heart.
“I-I’ll stay and…help.”
“Help?” He laughed cruelly. “Help? Fuck, you don’t know what you’ve done. You can’t hel—” His groan cut him off. He fisted himself through his trousers, fumbling with his belt.
The clink of the buckle coming undone sent another wash of wetness through me.
Seeing him so unhinged, knowing what was to come…it turned me on. It turned me on until I felt as if I’d taken the elixir too. I wanted him. So much. I wanted him inside me. I wanted to know why we felt this way.
But as his hand wrapped around his cock and pure passion fogged his stare, I also felt fear. A primordial fear that this wouldn’t just be sex. This would be painful and ruthless and quite possibly the last thing I’d ever do.
“Run,” he hissed, masturbating in front of me. His lips glistened from his tongue. His hips rocked into his palm. “Run…please fucking run.”
I shook my head, stepping toward him, my hand outstretched to replace him with me. To tell him it was okay to use me. That I’d drugged him to force him to admit he wanted this.
But he fell to his knees, holding his cock as if he could throttle it into submission. His chest heaved as he looked up at me, his eyes wild and body even wilder. He looked on the verge of breaking, on the precipice of no longer being human.
Our gazes locked.
His savagery poured gasoline on my fear and struck a match.
I shivered with realisation of what I’d done.
Sully Sinclair no longer had any control.
And that meant very bad things would happen.
Very bad things would happen to me.
“Run, Eleanor.” His voice slipped past feral and straight to barbarian as he growled, “Run. Run. Fucking run!”
His anger didn’t make me obey…it was his desperation.
He dropped the shields from his gaze and allowed me to see how truly terrified he was. How much he didn’t want to hurt me. “Please…Jinx.” His voice vanished to a tortured whisper. “Run…”
“I’m-I’m sorry.”
He shook his head, curling in on himself, his hand still locked around his cock.
With a final look at the broken beast before me, I ran.
