“Newsflash, Adrien: people who are compatible—people whodon’t despise each other—don’t do shit like that.”
“Anger isn’t the same thing as hatred. Neither is pent-up frustration.”
“I never said it was.”
“So you don’t think things between us would be different if we’d met under normal circumstances?”
“Do you?”
“Hell yeah, Sanchez. Look at us. Right now.”
“Yeah. We’re bickering. We bicker about everything, Adrien. Every single thing.”
He grinned. “We’re quite good at bantering, I agree.”
“That’s not what I said.”
“It’s what I heard,” he countered. “But that’s only part of what I was referring to.”
“What’s the rest?”
“The fact that you find me immensely attractive, and I find you aggravatingly beautiful. The part where I think you’re smart, funny, and charming when you’re not actively trying to pick fights with me.” His gaze turned molten. “I can show you the rest when you finally cave and beg me to touch you.”
I pressed my lips together, pushing a lungful of air out of my nose. “I’ve given you my consent. It’s enough. I’m not going to beg you to touch me,” I said adamantly. I had far too much pride for that.
His mouth curved into a cocky little smirk. “That’s too bad. I really think you’d enjoy all the unspeakable things I’ve been wanting to do to you.”
Don’t ask, don’t ask, don’t ask. Please don’t ask.
“Like what, exactly?” I asked, my crossed arms tightening. “The last time the topic came up, you said you planned on punishing me for everything that’s happened.”
“I did.”
“And which of the depraved punishments in your twisted, evil mind do you think I’d enjoy?”
“All of them. Every single one.”
For whatever reason, the way he said that made my heart want to beat itself into cardiac arrest.
I swallowed, my thighs clenching. “Give me an example. Just so I can tell you how much I’d hate it, and we can put this whole thing to rest.”
He braced a palm on the wall, right beside my head. Then he leaned in, stripping the air around us of oxygen. “They’re calledunspeakable thingsfor a reason. But I’m happy to discuss our likes, dislikes, and hard limits. Those are important.”
My chest was whirling, my skin felt flushed and overly sensitive. He was so close now that I could feel the kiss of his warm breath on my skin. God, he smelled amazing.
His smile widened. Dimples, dimples, dimples. “You’re so fucking pretty when you blush like that, Sanchez. I can’t handle it.”
My heart skipped. My breath shuddered. And I really needed him to touch me now.
When the hell had this happened? When had he gone from Man I’d Like To Choke, to Man Whose Dick I’d Like To Choke On?
Great. Now I was thinking about choking on Adrien’s dick. And I didn’t hate the idea. Not even a little bit.
What happened to you? To me. To us. We used to be so mentally stable.
My brain pointed a metaphorical finger at Adrien’s asymmetrical dimples. It wastheirfault.
He was smirking like he knew exactly what I was thinking. Like he knew exactly what he’d done to me, how he’d ruined me.
