Page 68 of Their Fierce Little Monster

The only thing keeping me from slitting his throat right now is the oath I made to my father, the king. I’d given my word that I wouldn’t harm our enemy heir from the Gold Ember Court.

Now I stand here, jaw clenched, listening to her giggle at something he whispers. He rolls onto his side, dragging her into his arms as they face one another, her leg draped over his. And darkness creeps over me so fast I can’t stop my insides from shattering.

Silence slides through my thoughts as I squeeze the railing harder, pushing the desperation to kill him aside. For a few moments, it works.

“Corvin, you’re devious.”

I jerk my head in their direction as he kisses her chest, and I glance at her breast as he holds it, bringing it to his mouth. I imagine it’s me taking that morsel into my mouth, sucking on her until she cries for me. My cock throbs, and I fucking hate how much it stings to see them together.

She giggles as he tickles her, and he suddenly howls with laughter, while I sneer. Laugh it up, asshole. Take your pleasure for now. I’m going to enjoy slicing you so much more when the time comes.

Then the door to the room suddenly opens, drawing my attention. Someone in all black slips inside without a sound, pushing the door closed behind him, and folds himself into the shadows against the wall. He’s standing practically beneath me. I lean over for a better look, and there I spot the heavy darkness of a figure hiding. Definitely looks like a male’s build.

Huh!

Who the fuck is it? A pervert?

Except… The show’s over, prick. It rubs me the wrong way to think some dick is going to look at my girl all nude and sexy as fuck.

Corvin gets up, leaving Dawn on the bed. My cock hardens at the sight of her wearing only those glass heels, her cheeks flushed. She grins to herself, checking out Corvin, and I want to puke right over the asshole beneath me. Corvin’s over by a sink and counter, wetting a couple of towels.

She says something to Corvin, but I don’t hear her with my pulse thumping in my ears. I’m on the verge of losing my shit and barely holding it together.

Fury bleeds through me, and I’ll never forget the way she screamed as he pounded into her. I hated seeing him doing it, yet I almost creamed my pants.

I drag my gaze down that perfect body, over her full breasts, those dark pink nipples, and her glistening pussy with a faint dusting of hair. Exactly where I crave to bury myself. Gods help me, but I’m so close to just running to her and licking every inch of her. Except then what? Scare her so badly she runs from me?

So I bite down on my lower lip until I taste copper.

Hell, back the fuck down, you animal.

I exhale, lowering my attention to the shadow that hasn’t moved, needing to calm down. And Dawn needs to put clothes on, fast, because I’m a really weak monster when it comes to her.

Movement catches my eye, and I shoot a glance down as the figure slides away from the wall.

I go still, knees bent, ready to leap at a moment’s notice.

Except he just stands there, staring at my Dawn, and it infuriates me that he has any right to see her this way. My vision turns red.

I’ll cut your eyes out for staring at her. You have my word.

Then something glints in his hand by his side, and I squint, leaning farther over the railing. A blade.

My heart bangs rapidly in my chest, and I’m already on the balls of my feet, ready to leap over and rip him to shreds.

I glare, watching for any movement. My call to declare war.

Do it! I dare the cloaked intruder.

The moment Corvin spins back around and marches toward her, the shadow slips back against the wall.

A growl skitters through me because we have a predator in our midst. Except he has no idea I’m about to ruin him.

Corvin’s cleaning my Dawn, wiping her inner thighs, sweeping higher, while she blushes and fights to take the cloth from him. I’d almost find it adorable if I weren’t so preoccupied.

Don’t worry, Dawn. I’ll show you how good I can wash you, from head to toe.

He leans in and steals another kiss. She wraps her arms around his neck. For fuck’s sake, these two are completely blind to danger. I can forgive Dawn, but… Corvin, you idiot, you’re a damn warrior. Yet you’re about to get a knife in the back.
