In an instant, Kirill’s face twisted, his calm cracking. He grabbed me by the waist, pulling me flush against his chest, his breath hot against my cheek. “I do own you, Dahlia,” he growled, his voice so low it sent a shiver down my spine. “You belong to me, and no one else is allowed to look at what’s mine.” I tried to push him away, my hands flat against his chest, but he was immovable, his grip tightening. “You can’t just—” But his lips crashed against mine, silencing my words with a bruising, punishing kiss. His hand fisted in my hair, holding me in place as his mouth dominated mine, claiming me with every heated movement. I hated him in that moment—hated how much I wanted him, how my body betrayed me by melting into him, despite the anger bubbling up inside me. I gasped against his mouth, my hands clawing at his shirt, half wanting to shove him away, half wanting to pull him closer. His kiss was rough, possessive, as if he was branding me with his touch, reminding me that I was his, no matter how hard I fought it.
