Chapter 55. Worship and Ruin All at Once

ROSETTE

“Mark me?” I whispered breathlessly, the whisper turning into a moan as Axel slammed into me, grunting. “Claim me?”

“Yes,” he breathed as he released my hands, running his hand through my body down to my leg. He caressed my leg before he raised it, bending it in half, while he leaned down, his chest resting on mine. “Yes, Rosette. A thousand fucking yes.”

“What does that mean, Axel?” I asked softly, my nails raking through his back, my eyes fixed on his. “Tell me. Please.”

He watched me, his eyes soft, yet so intense. “It means I would bite you,” he whispered, leaning down and kissing my neck before he bit down gently, thrusting slowly but deep. I moaned his name, my nails digging into his neck. “It means I’ll leave my mark on you. But it’s so much more than that, lover. So much. You would be mine through and through.”

“Isn’t that what you just did? You bit my neck.”

He chuckled, but the sound was dark. “Not even close, sweet girl.”
