Chapter Twenty-Seven

AVA

Ava didn't know if they were kissing or fighting, but she couldn't stop.

Madness took over her the second Raiden's lips claimed hers. Seeking. Demanding.

His fingers wound in her hair, gripping tightly. Ava's hands coiled around his neck, nails digging so hard into his skin, she was sure she'd leave marks.

Good, a dark part of her hissed.

They pulled each other closer, until their bodies were flush. They gripped, they yanked, they tugged as if they wanted to devour the other whole. As if even a breath of space between them was unbearable.

Their kiss turned frantic, all tongue and lips and teeth. Wanting more. Craving impossibly more.

Nothing else mattered but this blaze between them, burning them whole.

Ava gripped onto his shoulders tightly, pulling herself up. She'd promised herself she was going to climb him, hadn't she?

Raiden's hand traveled down to her ass and pulled her up in one go. He pinned her to the pillar, not stopping this wild kiss for even a second.

Ava snaked her legs behind him, pulling him into her.

Her fingers fisted in his hair, messing it up. His hand traveled up her thigh, dragging the dress higher, higher, higher—

The silk slip Marcella had insisted Ava wear ripped. The sound instantly sobered her up. It sounded exactly like the rips she'd slashed into her wedding dress on that godawful day.

Anger melted the ravaging lust away as bitter memories came flooding back.

A beast roared inside Ava.

She didn't know what came over her, but Ava—dear, sweet, needed-to-be-protected Ava—bit down on Raiden's lower lip hard enough to draw blood.

He groaned low in his throat, but he didn't stop kissing her. Neither did she.

The copper tang invaded their mouths, coating their lips, but it only seemed to spur them on.

Their movements became more frantic, almost desperate.

What was going on? What was happening to her? She wanted to eat him alive and she couldn't stop tasting him. She couldn't let him go.

You have to.

Why? They were both obviously insane. Let them destroy each other.

Because he's not yours.

So what? a savage part of her roared. She'd seen enough, been through enough. She'd survived enough. She deserved to give in to temptation for once in her life.

He will never be yours. He's Kimbra's.

Ava fisted her hands in his hair until it hurt.

This isn't you.

Maybe it was. The Underworld had tried so hard to break her spirit, maybe it had finally succeeded.

Think of Kimbra. Kimbra. Kimbra. Kimbra!

Ava ripped her mouth from Raiden's and pushed him away. He relented, breathing heavily.

Good Lord, blood trickled from his lip down to his chin.

She touched her own lips and pulled her hand away, staring at it in horror. Her fingers were stained with blood.

The haze of furious lust had melted, leaving behind a vicious reality.

"It isn't enough that you broke my heart, now you want to do the same to Kimbra? We're never doing that again," she whispered fiercely, as if that could somehow erase the fact that she'd been moments away from screwing him right here, against a column, with dozens of people outside that door.
