Haunting-Adeline
My lip wobbles, and all of the fight I had burning inside of me bleeds outin one breath.I have nothing to say. No argument.I've been holding so ghtly onto the no on that all murder is wrong, butI need to let that go. Because Zade is right, whether he came into my life ornot, I would always end up in danger. And I can't get upset every me hekills someone who meant me harm.If that makes me selfish, then I don't care anymore.Whether I like it or not... Zade isn't going anywhere. And it's far moreexhaus ng holding onto morals that do nothing but fight against the onething keeping me safe.I study his face, needing to ask one last ques on.“Have you killed an innocent person?”“What's your defini on of innocent?” he ques ons, leaning in close un lhis minty breath skates over my cold, wet face. “People like Archie? Whohave hurt others, but there was always a chance of redemp on, right?”I swallow, opening my mouth to respond, but he leans closer, his lipsmere cen meters away from mine. The words die on my tongue while hisflicks out, licking a droplet off my lip. The small touch should beinsignificant, like a bu erfly landing on your finger. But instead, it felt like alightning bolt traveling down my spine and straight to my core.“Do you think there’s redemp on for me?” he whispers, the tenor of hisvoice dark and sinful.I lick my lips, searching for the words before I ask, “Do you want there tobe?”The rest of his body molds into mine, crea ng a dangerous cyclone offire and ice inside of me. The frozen ground and the raging heat of his bodywar with each other, while I try to fight past the delirium his closeproximity is causing.He grinds his pelvis into mine, elici ng a sharp pleasure from betweenmy legs. Without conscious thought, my back arches and a moan slips free.“If my redemp on resides somewhere within you, then I will spend therest of my life searching for it inside of you.” He flexes his hips again,wringing another breathless moan from my lips. “I will fill every inch ofyou, Adeline. And in me, my redemp on will become your salva on.”
His words create a visceral reac on deep inside of me. There’s nostopping the flood of arousal between my legs, no more than I can controlthe intense need to hand over every bit of my soul to him on a silverpla er.He's s ll a stalker, Addie.The small voice inside my head is becoming weightless. So small andinsignificant that its words are no longer holding power. I’m becomingannoyed with the voice of reason because nothing I feel for Zade isreasonable. He s rs up emo ons too powerful for reason and logic. Toostrong to be eclipsed by a li le voice in my head.“What if I don’t want you to?” I croak, though my words are in directcontrast to my ac ons. One leg hikes over his hip, bringing him closer whilemy mouth s ll a empts to push him away.“What if the last thing I want is you inside me?” His lips skim over mine,traveling down my cheek and to my jawline. He nips harshly, his teethpulling out another moan as pain and pleasure stab at my nerves.This me when he grinds into me, I meet his thrust, desperate for him tobe closer. S ll, I can’t give up, even though my body already has.“What if I come to hate the feeling of you inside me?”Finally, he releases my pinned wrists, grabs the collar of my shirt, andtears it in half. I gasp from the brutal onslaught of cold rain pel ng my skin.My back arches as his hands sweep up harshly across my stomach, sendingwaves of electricity dancing across my flesh. His touch alone is making mefeel crazed. Nothing has ever felt so fucking good.And then he’s clawing at my bra, exposing my breasts, before that too istorn away from my body.“You would hate the feeling of coming so hard that your body givesout?”Before I can answer, he nips at my jaw again, so er this me, beforemoving down to my neck. His mouth pauses over the sensi ve spot rightbelow my ear. He releases a single breath, and that ac on is the onlywarning I have before his teeth clamp down.The only response I’m capable of is a garbled scream. My eyes roll, histongue lapping at the s ng and drawing out the intense pleasure.Sharp bites descend down past my collarbone un l one of my nipples isbeing sucked into his hot mouth. A strangled cry releases, and I shudder
