I looked down at myself. “It’s just a tank and shorts.”
“That’s far from an outfit. You need to get dressed. I’m taking you to dinner.”
“I don’t want to go anywhere with you.”
“Is this how it’s going to be?”
“I don’t know, Mr. Sinclair, you tell me. Since you seem to have the answers to everything.”
His eyes widened as if he expected me to continue lashing out, but it was quickly replaced with a small grin.
“Dinner it is then.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Beauty, just let me feed you.”
ELIAS
She didn’t say one word at dinner.
I tried to initiate several conversations with nothing more than a shrug in response. She played around with her food the entire time, rolling it around her plate with her fork. She had no problem downing the bottle of wine I ordered for the table, thinking it would help her loosen up and let her guard down.
After dinner, we walked downtown for a bit, and on our way back to the suite, she still didn’t say a word to me. I tried to keep my temper at bay. She knew how much I despised being ignored. It was clear that she was testing my limits on purpose.
By the way she was walking, I could tell she felt the effects of the alcohol, and it probably didn’t help that she was wearing six-inch fuck-me heels.
I shut the door to the suite behind me, speaking with conviction,
“Enough of the silent treatment, Capri.”
CHAPTER TWELVE
ELIAS
“The real lover is a man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.”—Marilyn Monroe
She still didn’t say a word, and before she could walk away from me, I grabbed her waist and set her up on the entry table, placing my body between her legs. She tried to move away, but I held her firmly down with my hands still around her waist. She wasn’t going anywhere unless I wanted her to.
“Now, let’s try this again. You need to stop testing me, beauty. I promise it won’t end well for you.”
Silence.
“Capri…”
Finally, she replied, “You can’t do this.”
“Try to stop me, beauty. We can do this your way, or we can do it mine, but either way, you’re going to stop this bullshit.”
She thrashed a little bit more until she realized she wasn’t going anywhere.
“You’re being a dick.”
“Unlucky for you… I don’t give a shit.”
She breathed heavily, in and out, her chest rising and falling. Her hair cascaded all over her flushed face; she was breathtaking, and her freckles drove me insane.
“You’re not going to win me over.”
