"Don't you know, Penelope, that once I mark something as mine, I hardly part with it?" He drawled against her neck, the dark, deep timbre of his voice sending liquid heat pooling between her legs even as she felt the cold press of the gun against her side.
"Well, I am sorry to break it to you, Maximo... but I am no one's property," She spat at him defiantly, meeting his gaze. He made her feel strong and powerful, a sharp contrast to the weak gullible woman she knew she was.
"Wrong. You. Are. Mine, Penelope. I claimed you even when you were with my brother, you just didn't know it yet." He smirked down at her, his right hand caressing her neck, straying dangerously towards the plunging neckline of her dress, "And look at you saying one thing and meaning another, as though your pussy does not cry out for my touch, for my mouth," His smile widened, his eyes growing darker, "For my cock..."
Shit.
