“I… I’m not yours,” I stuttered.

His gaze darkened at my words.

“I dare you to say that again,” he said, taking a threatening step forward.

I opened my mouth, but no words came out. The next thing I knew, I was pinned between him and the wall. My body shuddered under his domineering stare.

“You belong to me—your body, your soul. I’ll enjoy marking you again… and again,” he whispered, his teeth grazing my neck lightly.

How did I end up in this situation? Was there no way out?

He’d already broken me, taken my virginity. What more could he want?
