Excerpt from Tears of Tess by Pepper
Winters
I jerked
upright, ignoring the pain of his elbow. I feinted to the side, kicking his
kneecap. His leg gave out, but he caught himself on the edge of the table.
“Don’t fight. You’ll only make it worse.”
How many
times had I heard that? And every time it turned out to be the truth. But I
couldn’t not fight. I’d never be able to live with myself.
I breathed so
hard my lungs ached. I looked frantically for the stairs. Where the hell were
the fucking stairs?
I made to
run, just as Q recovered. He lurched and wrapped arms around my heaving chest,
dragging us to the floor. We landed in a pile of limbs, my rib screaming. Q’s
fly was undone, trousers hanging precariously on his hips. My knickers were
bunched to the side and oversensitive flesh swollen, needing a release. No! I’m
not turned on. I’m not broken. Not yet.
Manic
possession scorched his eyes, and I slapped him. Q reared back, lips twisted.
Violence bristled as he slammed me down, securing himself above.
I froze,
locking my knees together so he couldn’t settle between my legs. He clutched my
chin, forcing me to look deep into his gaze. “What are you?”
I squirmed,
hating the hunger in his voice, echoing the budding need in mine. I was sick to
think I ever wanted this with Brax. But I never wanted this with Brax. I wanted
light role-play, tame bondage, nothing like this. Please, not like this.
Q shocked me
silent as he kissed my throat. He lingered, breathing deep. My stomach flipped.
Pulling back, shock resonated in his face, as if he hadn’t meant to resort to
being gentle.
A conflict of
emotions skittered in his eyes, dampening undisguised lust, twisting it into
something else. He sounded regretful, “Say it, and I’ll let you go. I won’t
hurt you. I won’t rape you. Not tonight.”
I bit my lip.
If I said it, I threw myself at his mercy, but if I didn’t say it, I’d be raped
and I couldn’t handle that. Not after the trauma of everything. Not after my
entire world dumped me and left me bereft. Especially not with my body being
enemy number one.
“Esclave, say
it.” His mouth tickled my ear again, words vibrating through flesh.
My fight
drained, the will to disobey unspooled into meekness. “Yours,” I breathed, sick
to my stomach, wanting to scrub my mouth out.
He kissed me,
so, so softly, smelling like mint and lust—if lust had a smell. “Again.”
I shook my
head, trying to get free. Q’s arms banded tighter, dragging me against his rock
hard erection. “Don’t test me. My strength to let you go is almost at breaking
point. Push again, and I won’t be able to stop.”
“Why
hesitate? That’s what you mean to do, isn’t it? Ruin me. Keep me captive. A sex
slave. Treat me like some animal to use and abuse?” I whispered, but my tone
crackled with anger, fierce and bright.
“I don’t want
to hurt you. I don’t want to take from you,” he murmured. My heart stopped. His
tone hinted his thoughts—remorse.
“What do you
want, then?” I raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Q paused, a
flutter of fingers caressed my arm, imprisoning me, then stopped as if he did
so unconsciously. “You know what I want, esclave.”
My heart
hurt. I couldn’t keep up. One moment he touched as if I were an irreplaceable
piece of art, the next he held me as if I was a bitch needing a lesson. He
shook me, growling in my ear. “I need you to say it again, then you can go.”
Two options.
Two decisions. Neither was easy. Both had consequences. But, for now, I chose
the one protecting my virtue for another night.
I hung my head
and murmured, “Yours.”

ReplyDeleteMy copy arrived this morning from Amazon! This is hands down the best boxed set I've yet to see offered. Although I have most of these books on kindle already, this compilation is still a huge bargain. And while I can't pinpoint a *favorite* dark read, many that fit that category are offered in this set. The only glaring omission is Kitty Thomas.
