“…I am far from done with you yet!”

THREE WORDS

“You devour me with your eyes, little one.” His gravelly voice shook me from my obsession with his chest, making me blush after having been caught out staring at him. The sight was one he chuckled at before reaching for my hand and gripping me at the wrist. Then he pressed the length of his thumb up my palm, applying enough pressure that it automatically sprayed my fingers wide. Fingers that he wanted to feel on his body. I knew that when he lifted my hand to the hard planes of his chest before dragging my fingertips down to the deep groves of his abs.

But that wasn’t the only part of him my eyes were fixated on, as my necklace, my carved wolf, still hung from around his neck. I so badly wanted to reach out and touch it, missing the feel of it nestled against my skin. Yet now it seemed to have a new owner and it took everything in me not to ask about it… like why he had kept it on him all these years.

“I am yours to touch, Ella,” he told me softly and my eyes broke contact with his body by snapping straight to his heated gaze, a pair of eyes that were glowing more silver than grey. All thoughts of my necklace were lost in sight of his need and the strength of his words.

“Y-y-you’re mine?” I asked, having first the need to clear my throat.

“But of course, this bargain of ours is for both sides of the coin.” The moment he said it I couldn’t help but look past him to where he had not so secretly stored away the coin I stole.

“Look at me!” he demanded roughly and I did instantly, unable to deny the tone.

“There will be no payment made for your freedom to go home, Ella, so you must decide now, for once I complete my claim on you, there will be no going back.” I swallowed hard at the seriousness in his statement, one that he wasn’t yet finished making.

“The Fool’s life in exchange for an eternal life lived with me.” Well, that wouldn’t have been a difficult decision to make if only I was staring at the future Jared. The one that I was trying desperately to get back to and save. So, I told him,

“You’re my Chosen One.” He looked surprised by this until I lifted my gaze and whispered the truth,

“Who else would I want to spend my life with?” His reaction to this was to growl before passionately taking my lips in a bruising kiss, stealing my breath. Of course, I gave myself to him gladly, feeling our hunger burn hotter with every minute that passed. Because in that moment, I didn’t care which Jared it was above me, I wanted them both. He was the same man, just one tethered to his time period and still in the process of learning his way in this world he ruled in.
