“That’s where you’re wrong, Zo. While you’re with me, coming to my games, whispering my name…real or not, you belong to me. Every inch of your skin, your mind, and your heart is mine. Mine to hold. Mine to touch. Mine to mold as I please. You touch another man again, there will be consequences.”
I expect her to fight, to push away from me, claw at my wrist, but she doesn’t. Zoe remains still, her body fitting perfectly against mine.
Then a vicious smirk breaks across her face.
“Are you threatening me, Dominik? Didn’t I tell you the other day? I’m not scared of you.”
The primal beast within me, the one I have been fighting so hard to cage when I’m around Zoe, stirs to life with a hungry growl. A twisted mix of desire and anger swells in my chest, threatening to rage and take her with me.
I have to maintain control, but she’s making it incredibly fucking difficult.
“You think you’re not scared of me. Until I decide to hunt you down and take what’s mine. I play dirty when provoked. And you’re fucking provoking me.”
Her small fingers wrap around my wrist as she digs her nails into my skin. Closing my eyes, I welcome the pain. If only she knew it turns me on more, making me want to throw her onto the bed, shred her clothes, and fuck her into oblivion.
“You’re all talk, Dom. All talk and no play.”
The scent of her defiance, the spark of rebellion in her eyes is all it takes to push me over the edge. To tilt her chin and dive for her lips. To kiss her as if I’m trying to brand her. She fights against me, but it’s no use. My grip around her neck tightens a little, and a small whimper escapes right before she gives into the kiss.
The sound of her submission is all I need.
Sucking on her bottom lip, I bite down until I taste copper. Letting go of Zoe completely, I pull away, a dangerous smile on my face as I look at her swollen, red lip.
“What the fuck! Did you just bite me?” She swipes her thumb across her lip and looks down.
I take her hand and suck the blood from the pad of her thumb, keeping my eyes pinned on hers.
“You’re insane,” she hisses.
My eyes fall to her lip and the blood that is starting to reappear. Gripping her hair tightly, I lean down and lick the remaining blood. Zoe lets out a soft moan, which makes me want to lose myself in her again, but I fight the temptation.
I barely have enough time to shove her aside and yank the door open, booking it out of there before I change my mind and go back for more.
I am incapable of controlling my emotions or the way my need takes over when I’m around Zoe. Constantly wanting to claim her, own her, make her submit. Make her see that there is only her and me, that nothing else could ever be.
But that’s a fantasy I’ve made up in my head. It’s not reality, and it will never be our life. We are from two different worlds with unfortunate lines drawn in the sand.
Perhaps, in another life, we’ll get to have our chance.
Or maybe she’s destined to haunt me for the rest of this one.
I can’t do this with her anymore. I need to talk to Aaron and call off the fake girlfriend agreement. I’ll take the heat and deal with the repercussions of my actions head-on.
I’ve reached my limit.
I cannot be trusted around her anymore.
CHAPTER 38
ZOE
My lip is throbbing, pulsating with its own beat, all thanks to that asshole who attacked me out of nowhere. I still can’t figure out what the hell happened back there. And even worse, I can’t comprehend why I responded the way I did. Jesus, I haven’t been that turned on in a long time; I don’t even recognize myself.
I need this meeting tonight to go well so I can release all this sick, pent-up need and forget about Dominik. And so I can breathe freely around him again.
As I make my way through the massive penthouse, I lick my dry lips and pass by the recently opened champagne bottles. Laughter fills the air, but amidst the chaos, I can’t seem to locate Dominik anywhere.
Screw it, I’m leaving.
