Chapter 16

What just happened?

Ari’s brain wouldn’t get back on track; her nerve endings were fried, the pleasure she’d just experienced overriding everything. She could still taste Sebastian’s blood on her tongue, and she shivered with remembered ecstasy. His arms were around her, and he was slowly sinking to his knees, gently lowering her with him. Cradling her, like she was a treasure.

One minute she’d been kissing him to shut him up, and the next, she’d been riding him, out of control, her body desperate for release, his blood in her mouth. They technically hadn’t even had intercourse, but it was the best sex of her life.

She couldn’t imagine how good it would feel to have him inside her.

No. Don’t go there.

Those mental warnings were wearing thin: chemistry like they had was rare, even she knew that. But physical lust shouldn’t be enough to make her forgive him for her past. For Mama and Nick.

“Aria, I—”

She thrust herself away from him, landing hard on her butt on the stone floor. If Sebastian apologized, she’d splinter. After everything that they’d said and done, this had certainly been bad idea but she couldn’t regret it. Not right now, not when aftershocks were still making her body sing.

“If you say you’re sorry, I will rip your throat out.”

He laughed, a low chuckle that had her insides warming in a completely different way. You’re in trouble.

No shit.

He met her gaze, his expression serious. “Fuck no, I am not sorry that just happened.”

Relief poured through her, and the intensity of the emotion shocked her. She sat there on the floor in front of her former alpha, raw and exposed. It didn’t matter she was still fully clothed, she’d never felt so naked before. Like he could see her, all the flaws and secrets and shadows she’d kept caged alongside her wolf for years.

“Then what were you about to say?”

He moved closer to her, and ran a thumb over her lip. “That I should get going soon.”

“So you’re a bang ’em and leave ’em kinda guy?” Oh no, she didn’t just say that. When it came to Sebastian, her mouth had a mind all of its own.

He pulled his hand away. “Sometimes. I just didn’t think you’d want me to stay.”

“Right.”

She wasn’t sure she believed that excuse, but maybe him going would be a good thing. It would help get her equilibrium back.

“I can stay if you want?”

She shook her head. “It’s okay. You should go. I have things to do.” And she did have things to do. She was sure of it. Things that did not involve mooning over the were in front of her. Or worse, actually having sex with the guy. There’d be no going back from that.

He didn’t look convinced, but turned toward the bathroom anyway. The back of his shirt was shredded and covered in blood. She’d done that.

“I’m so sorry.”

He spun back, mouth compressed into a thin line. “Now who’s the one apologizing?”

She pointed. “Your shirt, I shredded it. It’s covered in blood.
