It takes him one second to move into a sitting position. It takes him another second to be on top of me, and about half a second for him to have me on my back, his body hovering above mine, his hands holding mine above my head.
“How many times do I have to tell you to watch your damn language?”
“And how many times do I have to ask you why?” I retort.
“Fucking hell, you’re infuriating,” he says with a sigh.
“Back at you, baby. Now just answer the fucking question,” I say, drawing out the word he hates the most.
I see his jaw tense, I feel his heat rolling against me, and I wish to God that we could be different because this is like some fatal attraction shit, but in this case, I’m the only one that will get burned.
“I want to be the only person to make you scream uncontrollably, in bed, whilst I’m eating your pussy, so yeah, I want to be the only one to make you shout profanities because I am the only person that can do that to you,” he says, and fuck… my knickers may just be a little bit wet.
“I will be the only person to make you say fuck with my name following after.”
“Oh,” is all I can say. I have no words. I have no comeback, and damn my body for getting all flustered whilst I lay underneath him, trapped by him, and wanting to be taken by him.
“You know, Kat, one day you won’t hate me,” he says quietly as he runs his nose down the side of my face. “One day you’ll learn to love my dark heart.”
And then he’s up and off me and gone as quickly as he came in.
My heart is thudding in my chest from the last few moments. Jesus, can this shit get any more complicated?
Chapter Nine
Four months earlier

“Now, remember to smile, we don’t want people thinking you don’t want to be here,” I say to her, wishing she could fix her face to look less fucking miserable.
“But I don’t,” she grits out, and it gets my back up.
“You’ve been here two months now, so you should be getting used to things,” I say, the irritation evident in my tone.
“Right, because keeping me like a caged fucking animal is the way to go,” she says sarcastically with a roll of her fucking beautiful eyes. One day, I’m going to make those eyes roll in the back of her head… when I’m eating her pussy.
“Don’t be so dramatic, and watch your language,” I scold her. It’s all I ever seem to do because she just can’t keep her goddamn mouth in check. “You’re hardly a caged animal either. You have the freedom to do what you please––”
“Except leave you,” she interrupts.
“Yes, Kat, except leave me, so why don’t you just accept it and move the fuck on?” I grit out.
She pins me with her eyes as I stand beside her. “Never.”
I smirk because she has no idea how badly she is going to be begging for me… eventually. I always get what I want, and I still want her, more now than before. Her fucking sass has my dick hard several times a day.
I hold my arm out to her for her to link hers through. She eyes me for a moment before rolling her eyes and conceding defeat. We need to look the part, and I can feel her body tense as she comes into contact with me. I’m guessing that’s a good thing. She’s struggling with what her body wants and what her mind is telling her to do. I can see it, I can feel it, and I’m going to crush those fucking doubts.
“You know that one day, you’re going to look back and realise how stupid it is to fight against me,” I say quietly as I lead her into the mansion before us. We’re here for an event for one of the charities I support, one close to my heart, and one that will probably shock Kat because despite what she believes, I’m not a total monster.
“Pfft. You’re so sure of yourself,” she comments, her eyes fixed straight ahead of us.
“Of course, because if you can’t back yourself then what’s the fucking point?”
She turns her head to look at me, tilting it to the side slightly as if in deep thought. “Huh. I never thought of it like that.”
“Well, now’s the time to start. Always back yourself and never let anyone tell you that you can’t,” I say, my eyes connecting with hers, a heat passing through me––and her if her deep breaths are anything to go by.
