“I'm doing this for your own good. Why can't you see that?”
She rolls her eyes and places her hand on the doorknob. “You seem to be forgetting the fact that we are nothing to each other. You are just my best friend's brother.” She opens the door and sighs. “You are giving me a headache with this useless argument. I think it would be best if you leave.”
Before I can stop myself, I hold her wrist, tug her towards me, and close the door. I wrap my hand around her wrist.
“What the hell?!” she protests.
“We’re not done talking.” I ignore her warning and crowd her until her back is pressed against the door.
I'm drunk on the way she smells, the way she feels in my arms. My body betrays me. The argument hadn't been enough to prevent my blood from racing to my groin. But being this close to her after two agonizing days of not being with her is making me dizzy.
Her little fists slam against my chest, but it hardly registers. It only serves to fuel my lust.
“Stop unless you want me to fuck you against the door.”
Her eyes widen, and she blushes to her neck. She swallows. “I don't know why you are doing this. We had an agreement that this is nothing more than a good fuck. So, I don’t see why you care so much about who I spend my time with now.” She pauses, cocking her head to the side. “You are acting like a possessive bastard right now.”
I curl my fingers under her chin, tilting her face towards mine. “Like I said, I don't share. You are mine for as long as this arrangement lasts. I don't want to see you with any other man, especially Perez.”
“Some guts you have to tell me what to do.”
“I'm not telling you what to do. I'm adding my own condition to our agreement.”
“I don't know what you think of me, but I'm not fucking Perez, nor do I plan to. You can stop being paranoid now and let me go.”
“You always seem to think that I think the worst of you,” I tell her.
“What do you expect me to think? You have clearly drawn your own conclusions that I'm a slut.” There’s a flash of hurt in her eyes.
“For fuck’s sake, I'm just trying to protect you.”
She frowns at this. “I don't need you or anyone to protect me. I have done that successfully by myself for over twenty-four years of my life.”
My chest tightens at her words, which carries a lot of pain. “As long as our agreement stands, you are my responsibility.”
I search her eyes, wanting evidence that she will bend to my desires. When I don’t see it, I don't know what else to do but crash our lips together as gently as I can. I want to prove to her that I care, to comfort her.
I have never wanted to comfort someone so badly. I don't even know how to.
It backfires when she rips her body revoltingly away from mine. Contempt is evident on her face. “Let's end this,” she says with finality.
“I don't get you.”
“This is clearly not working. We have a lot at stake, and Nala is not even talking to me.”
“She's not talking to me either. What has that got to do with this?”
“Everything. I'm not about to lose my best friend because of this. And you acting this way is not helping matters.”
A lump forms in my throat, and I forget to breathe. “Is that what you want?”
She nods. “Yes.”
There is so much happening inside my head, so many questions, and emotions. There is too much to wrap my head around. I feel the need to laugh at myself for acting so stupid for nothing more than sex.
I huff and roll my eyes, “Okay. I will give you what you want. That’s all I do anyway.”
With that being said, she moves away from the door. I hurry out and slam the door after me. I almost bump into Sam, who's leaning against the wall. The conflicted look on her face is enough for me to know that she heard everything.
