Cruel King (Royal Elite #0) by Rina Kent

I get lost in the kiss and the words hidden underneath the animalistic passion.

He doesn’t have to say it out loud for me to hear it.

I make him vulnerable, too.

Unlike me, he gets off on it, making it a strength instead of a weakness.

He pulls my dress all the way down my legs until I’m lying in front of him in only my black underwear.

Tingles erupt on my skin the more he touches me. The more my lungs fills with his scent. The more his pale eyes draw a path down my neck. The more his tongue trails from my ear to my collarbone to the valley of my breasts.

“Oh, God… Levi…”

“You’re not going to challenge me this time?” he whispers in my ear.

I buck against his hand as he trails a path to bring down the only piece of my clothing left. I lie completely naked in front of him while he’s still fully clothed.

“Do you want a challenge?” I breathe.

“I love it when you challenge me, princess.” He licks the shell of my ear and pushes his erection into the soft flesh of my thigh. “It makes my cock so fucking hard.”

“Unbound me,” I breathe out, fighting the tremor in my voice.

He shakes his head.

“How am I to challenge you, then?”

“Your mere existence is enough challenge.” A sadistic smirk tilts his lips. “I like you bound, princess. I like you at my mercy. I like you mine.”

His fingers hover over my folds, threatening but not touching. I might have pushed myself up off the bed, needing any type of friction. Hell, I’m ready to dry hump his thigh at this point.

“You want me to touch you?”

I nod slowly.

His hand wraps around my throat, squeezing the slightest bit. “And when I do, you’ll come for me, screaming my name so hard until you forget all other fucking names. You’ll be my good little princess, won’t you?”

I bite the corner of my lower lip as he teases my soaking folds.

Levi is the type of predator who plays with his prey. He drives me to the edge of myself just so he can devour me harder afterwards.

“Answer me,” he growls against my throat.

“Why do you like pushing me, Levi?” I crane my head to the side, silently giving him better access to my neck. “Why do you like playing with me until I don’t know whether or not this is real?”

“Because I don’t do things halfway. I take everything, princess.”

“Everything?”

“Your tears. Your laughs. Your pain. Your joy.” He drags his tongue along my lower lip then bites it. “Everything you have to offer is mine to own.”

He releases me just so he can yank his shirt open, causing a few buttons to fly all around us.

My mouth dries at the hard ridges of his chest and how his muscles flex with every move.

He’s so gorgeous, it’s unfair.

My body craves his with every breath I take. I’m tuned to him in ways words can’t describe.

He undoes his belt and shoves down his trousers and boxer briefs in one go.

My eyes bulge at how his rock hard cock points in my direction.

Before I can study him fully, his body covers mine. All his hard ridges mould to my soft curves like a vice.

Like this was always meant to be.

He reaches into the side table and pulls out a condom, ripping it with his teeth.

My breathing hitches as I watch him in all his naked glory, hovering over me like a God.

A sex-god.

I always had some images about my first time, but never in my wildest dreams had I thought it’d be with Levi.

And now, I couldn’t have it any other way.

My breathing hitches as he pulls me by the hips until his cock is at my entrance.

“It’s time you’re all mine, princess.”

He slams inside me into one long, brutal go. I shriek at the intrusive sensation, my eyes rolling to the back of my head.

Oh God. That hurts.

I close my eyes, trying to get used to the feeling of being stretched open. He’s so big, it’s hard to even breathe.

“Fuck. You’re a virgin?” He stops, staring down at me with a mixture of confusion and what looks like pain and awe.

“Was,” I try to joke, biting my lip against the pain. “Can you move or something?”

His lips find mine, and I’m momentarily lost in the kiss. He starts moving slow and steady as his mouth devours mine.

His hand reaches between us to flick my clit.

The pain withers away, leaving something entirely different in its wake.

His fullness.

I can only feel him filling me and it’s so intimate.

So… erotic.

Soft moans tear past my lips as he picks up his pace slowly but steadily.

“Harder,” I murmur.

Levi’s brows scrunch as if he’s as surprised as me for saying that.

“Do you like a little pain with your pleasure, princess?” He bites down on the lobe of my ear, drawing a shudder from me.

“I… don’t know.”

“Let’s find out.” He grabs my hip with one hand and wraps the other one around my neck.

It’s not tight to cut off my air supply, but it’s firm enough to let me know that I’m at his mercy.

A part inside me snaps at the feeling of him being all over me. There’s something about relishing all of my control to him that makes me feel at peace or maybe a little powerful.
