“Mac.”
I shook my head, shaking away thoughts of having her underneath me. “What?”
“I know it was you who did it.”
“Okay… well, did you even bother reading any of it?”
She curled her top lip in distaste. “No. I merely flipped through the pages and found shit written throughout the margins.”
A smile lifted my own lips. “Just read it and then decide if you’re really pissed off at me or not.”
“I didn’t buy the book to have it ruined.”
I tilted my head to the side, racking my brain for what the book looked like. I didn’t remember it being anything but a normal paperback book, but now I was second-guessing the little notes I left for her to find. “Was it a special edition or something?”
“Well, no,” she said, shifting her weight on her feet. “But that is beside the point. It wasn’t yours to do that to.”
“Are you an only child?”
Juliette gave me a confused look. “What?”
“You are, aren’t you?” I snickered. The reaction I was getting from her was priceless. I knew I should have walked away and stopped pissing her off, but she was making this too easy. It was too much fun right now.
“Actually no, I’m not. But what does that have to do with you writing in my book?”
I laughed and shook my head at her. “You clearly don’t know how to share.” I exhaled slowly and took a step closer to her as I took the book from her hand. I flipped through the pages until I landed on one that I left a note on. Leaving the book open, I turned it toward her and pressed it against her chest.
Her movements were slow, her eyes never leaving mine as she lifted her hands to take the book from me. Lifting one hand, I brushed a stray lock of hair away from her face, pushing it behind her ear, my fingers lingering on her skin.
“Just read it, Juliette. Read the book and the notes inside, and then you can scream at me.”
Her throat bobbed as she swallowed roughly. I took a step away from her, moving until I was back at my door. Juliette’s gaze broke away from mine and she looked down at the page I had left open for her. Her eyes widened as they scanned the page and a pink tint blossomed across her cheeks.
Her eyes flashed to mine. The corners of my mouth twitched.
“Or maybe you’ll scream for me instead…”
Her lips parted and a ragged breath escaped her. My cock was already hard and I did nothing to hide it. Instead, I spun on my heel and left her in the hallway, still clutching her book as I locked myself and Thor back in my condo.
It was a dirty play, but I never claimed to play fairly.
I was truly looking forward to the consequences now.
CHAPTER EIGHT
JULIETTE
My eyes scanned the page once more, reading Mac’s sloppy handwriting that was scratched alongside of the printed text.
Tell me, Juliette. Is this what you like? Is this what you want?
My stomach dipped. I lifted my head off the couch, glancing around my living room like someone may have caught me blushing. After Mac left me pissed off in the hallway, I marched back inside and flopped down on the couch and began reading. I hadn’t moved in at least three hours and I was sucked into the story, along with reading the little things he marked and wrote down.
He was smooth, I’d give him that. I had an idea of what his motive was behind this and unfortunately for me, it was working.
Mac Sullivan had my attention, even if I didn’t want him to. I couldn’t erase this moment from my mind. I couldn’t erase the words he wrote inside the book. They were branded in my memory. I wanted to hear the words slip from his lips. I wanted to feel them whispered against the shell of my ear.
I would never admit it out loud to him, but it was a thought I could keep to myself. He was an idiot, if we were being real here. He knew exactly who I was and what that could mean for his career if he decided to be involved with me. For whatever reason, he lacked common sense. Either he didn’t care or he really didn’t understand. My father would make sure Mac Sullivan was on the first plane out of Orchid City if he decided to pursue me.
