“I don’t care,” he said. “I don’t care about my image. All I care about is you.”
There was a purple line beneath his eye, a growing bruise from his fight with Karel, and I couldn’t help the way my heart pounded faster, the tingling warmth that spread through my limbs.
“I’m going crazy thinking about you with Bryan,” he groaned.
“Not that it’s any of your business, but I didn’t fuck him.Thistime. I was on my period.”
Jesse’s jaw dropped as his big hands clutched at my arms.
“He doesn’t want to have sex with you on your period? Fucking pussy.”
I opened my mouth to object but Jesse rushed on, gripping my waist.
“Let me. You know I love doing it on your period.”
I said nothing.
“Please,” he said again. “I can fuck you better than him. I can love you harder than him. Harder than anyone else.”
“All right,” I said. “Just this one time.”
“Yes!” Jesse crowed, swinging me up and into his arms.
“This doesn’t mean we’re getting back together,” I said firmly.
“Yes, we are,” he said, as he carried me up the stairs so I could open the front door. “We belong together.”
But with each step I took up the stairs I got even madder.
“This means nothing,” I warned him as I shut the door to my room. “I’m still fucking pissed at you. I’m just using you for your body.”
“I accept that you’re pissed at me,” Jesse said, stepping closer and pulling me flush against him. “Use my body, baby.”
“You looked like a real dumbass fighting your own teammate today,” I said.
His hands plunged into my long waves of hair and held them tightly.
“Yeah, I did. And I’d do it again to scare any other man away from you. Can I kiss you?”
“Maybe,” I said, to piss him off, but he sat down on the bed and pulled me into his lap.
“Nothingwas like this,” he said fiercely, his hand tight on my chin as he captured my mouth with his.
For a second I felt pure panic, then only a rush of heady sensation as his hands bit down on my chin and waist, pulling me closer to him.
Jesse was kissing me with bruising force, making me gasp as his tongue plunged into my mouth.
He kissed me with deep, urgent need, his big hand crushing my hair in his fist as he pressed me deeper into him.
“Fuck, you’re so hot, Josie. I missed every fucking thing about you.”
My thighs were trembling and my nipples felt so tight as they brushed against his chest, but I only said, “I had some guys who knew what they were doing.”
Jesse groaned, low and painful, breaking off from my mouth to kiss my throat.
“I deserved that. I deserve everything you’ve thrown at me. But it still makes me so pissed I’m seeing red to think about any other men. I’m going to fuck you so good, baby, you’ll forget all about them.”
“Hm, we’ll see,” I said noncommittally as he pulled my T-shirt impatiently off, hissing as he saw my heavy, full breasts.
