Chapter 10 I Will Be on My Best Behavior
Lorenzo’s POV
It was just Gideon, Evelyn, and me. I have never allowed any of my men follow me to see Emelian. She was filled with power and could do anything to humans when she got angry.
Our car rolled to a slow halt at the edge of the thick forest.
“Gideon,” I called out, my tone firm, leaving no room for debate.
He lifted his eyes to the rearview mirror, locking onto mine. “Lucifer,” he acknowledged, already sensing my command.
“You will return from here,” I continued coldly. “I’ll take it from this point with Evelyn.”
Evelyn’s eyes flew open in one quick thud. “No, you are not.”
My fingers curled into a furious fist. She’s never going to understand, will she?
If only she knew how important this meeting was to me. Without my power, I’m nothing. I would be fully mortal. I can’t even imagine going to a mirror and meeting a wrinkled face. Getting old is the only thing that scares the hell out of me.
Nothing else.
And not having my power means death, like I’d be wiped out from the surface of the earth, and my mission to reunite with Delilah would never be achieved.
Damn it. I need to act fast before things get out of hand.
I turned to Evelyn, who was breathing so heavily that I could barely hear the birds chirping in the trees.
With my teeth clenched so tight that my jaw ached, I stared into her eyes and saw my own reflection staring back at me. The veins in my eyes burned, bulging so violently it felt like they were about to burst through the surface.
I lifted her jaw, forcing her to focus on me. “You don’t get to decide what you want here.”
Her chest rose and fell. “I have every right to say what should or shouldn’t happen in my life.”
My lips arched up, stretching into a daring smirk. “You enjoy challenging me, don’t you?”
She swallowed hard, her gaze blazing without blinking.
my voice lowered to a dangerous whisper.“You still haven’t learned, have you?” Letting my hand move to her thighs. Slow and steady, pushing up her dress.
Her eyes widened. “What are you trying to do?”
“Shhhh.”
I pressed my body closer, so close that my chest brushed against the peak of her nipple from the fabric she was putting on, making her shiver beneath my hand.
“For any reason you question my authority,” I murmured, “there will be punishment. Remember?”
She tilted her head, eyes half closed. “Will…. will you punish me here?” Her voice shattered, like she was actually having fun but refused to confess to it.
I let my breath graze the sensitive part of her neck, and she trembled beneath my words.
“I’m….. sorry,” she whispered. “It won’t repeat itself again.”
I growled softly. “You’ll say that again, but I believe there’s no way you’ll ever learn your place if I don’t teach you.”
She swallowed the lump in her throat, her beautiful eyes darting across my face. “I mean it this time. I’ll never defy your orders again. Please…. don’t punish me here.”
“No,” I muttered, my voice sharp. “It’s too late.”
She tried to drift away, but my arm curved around her waist, pulling her even closer.
“There’s no escaping, little human.…” I whispered against her ear. “You asked for this, remember?”
I slid my hand along her middle, widening her thighs, and she gasped.
Her breath quickened. It wasn’t fear. It was something darker, a twisted blend of hate and longing she could no longer separate.
I could feel her body tense, her breath ragged as my presence dominated the space between us.
My fingers found the lacy fabric that she was wearing inside and in a swift motion, I tugged it to one side.
Eve’s soft moan slipped out. soft, yet piercingly clear, sweeter than any melody my immortal ears had ever known.
It wasn’t just the sound, it was a wicked harmony that ignited every dead part of me back to life.
And hell save me. The only thoughts that came to my mind was just to fuck her in this wild forest. Having her moan out loud will be the best song that the birds would have ever heard.
Evelyn’s nails dug into my jacket as if searching for balance. Her breathing came heavy, uneven. I doubted she even realized how hard her body was begging for me.
I thrusted my finger inside, her body answering me with a desperate urgency, pulling me in as though it couldn’t bear even a breath of distance.
“Oh….” She let out a long breath, clutching my legs.
I smiled devilishly. “You fight me every damn time,” I said quietly, “But you couldn’t even pretend that you don’t like having my fingers deep inside you.”
Her lips parted, searching for words. But I didn’t give her the chance.
I pushed deeper, her greedy clit milking my fingers refusing to let me go.
“Oh…..little human.” I groaned against the shell of her ear. “Your pussy already wants daddy’s attention.” I pushed in again, her body jolted pressing towards me.
And then I pulled out. Stroked her again.
She responded.
And again. Too smooth, unhurried, and deliberately. Making her surrender to my touch.
Her silkiness covered my fingers, the friction too easy to go in and go out now.
Then my pace grew faster. Harder. Curling my fingers inside her walls.
She sucked in a deep breath, her lashes fluttered. "Lorenzo.…"
I could see the shift in her eyes, the moment when her defiance melted into something else entirely.
If I didn’t stop, I might lose control completely, and that was not part of the plan.
The plan was to get my powers back from her, then make her mine.
By then I will take full control of her body. Every inch of her being.
Evelyn’s hands gripped my suit, almost tearing them apart. Her breath came out raw, filling the air in the car. “Yes…” she whispered.
“….please…. Don’t….”
Immediately, I jerked away, not because I wanted to, but because I had to, before I lost the last shred of control I had left.
Her eyes darted toward mine, trying to steady herself. “Why…. why did you stop?”
I hissed softly. “Because you’re enjoying this way more than you should.”
She lowered her head, maybe in shame.
I leaned closer again, my voice dropping low. “But that doesn’t mean you won’t still get your punishment.”
Her head snapped up, landing on me. “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is….” I slowly removed my hand from her and reached into my pocket. I brought out a small device controller that I had ordered earlier this morning along with her dress.
I knew she would do something reckless, so I came prepared. With this she will only be thinking on how to survive each moment instead of fighting my commands.
“What is that?” she asked curiously.
My breath hovered over her face, a low growl rumbling from my chest as I let a faint smile linger on my lips.
“Don’t move,” I ordered. “I want to feel your restraint.”
She pressed her lips into a thin line and gave a naive nod.
I positioned the device and in a sultry motion lowered beneath her core, her legs separated.
“Oh….. Lorenzo.”
My name slipped past her lips, uncontrolled, breathless…. a confession disguised as a whisper.
Finally, I inserted it and slowly drifted away from her, making her burn with need.
She quickly shut her eyes open, her chest heaving too fast. “Should I be feeling anything?”
I scoffed, then brought out my phone and slid the screen.
A soft vibration filled the car, and she stiffened instantly, biting her lip to hold back a sound.
My smirk deepened with satisfaction.
“Tell me,” I asked coolly, “how does it feel?”
She rubbed her thighs relentlessly, trying to adjust. “I still feel nothing,” she breathed out.
What? Still lying. Her stubbornness was on another level.
I leaned forward, enough to let my voice scrape against her ear. “Still lying?”
“Fine,” I whispered.
I increased the setting. This time, she couldn’t hide it.
A strangled cry tore from her throat, her fingers clutching the seat.
“No…fuck….please…”
“Please what?”
“Stop it, please.” she pleaded breathlessly. “I will be on my best behavior.”
I leaned back slowly, letting the air between us settle. I wanted this to continue, but if we did, we might not achieve what we came here for.
Slowly, I released my grip and turned toward the driver’s seat. That was when it occurred to me, Gideon was no longer there. He must have excused himself quietly.
“You’d better keep to your promise,” I warned coldly, “because the person we’re going to see doesn’t spare flesh like yours.”
