Orion’s POV
I bent her over the bed and pulled her dress up, grabbing her waist firmly and grinding it against me.
She struggled in my arms as I tried to pull down my pants, her breath shaky, her stubborn eyes glaring up at me like I was the monster she believed I was. Maybe she was right. I felt like a beast, my control unraveling by the second as her words echoed in my mind.
“I’m not yours. I’ll never be yours.”
The way she pushed against me—like my touch was poison—only fueled the fire burning inside me. My chest heaved, and for a moment, I couldn’t recognize myself. My instincts were sharper, darker, as if something lethal was clawing its way to the surface.
“You don’t get to say that,” I growled slowly, my voice raw and dangerous. “Not after what I saw.”
Her glare didn’t falter. “What you saw? That kiss? You don’t own me, Orion! You never will so let go of me!”
