Then his words sink in.
Jerking back, I gape at him in disbelief. “What?”
He pushes off from the drawers and strides across the room, power rolling off his broad shoulders as he advances on me. I scramble a step back in surprise. Jace just keeps coming, forcing me to stumble backwards to keep from getting mowed down by him.
My back hits the smooth wall with a thud.
Jace keeps moving until he is standing barely a step away. His bare chest is so close to my naked skin that I can feel the heat radiating from him. My heart hammers against my ribs. It’s so loud that I’m pretty sure he can hear it.
Lightning skitters across my skin as he places two fingers underneath my chin and tilts my head back so that I meet his gaze. I draw in a shuddering breath as he lets his hand drop back down again. But he doesn’t step back. He remains standing there, so close that I can almost feel his body against mine.
“Outside these walls, everyone you meet might jump to obey your every order,” he begins, his eyes searing into mine. “But in here, you obey my commands. So when I tell you to crawl, you fucking crawl. Understood?”
Fire rushes through my veins, and my clit throbs. My heart is beating so hard that it feels as if it’s going to break free from my chest. No one has ever spoken to me like this before. Never.
No one has ever dared to give me orders. And I would never have deigned to respond to such a thing. It would’ve made me furious. But as I stare up into Jace’s stunning face, all I feel is a dark thrill coursing through my spine.
Jace towers over me. And his muscular body blocks out everything else in the room. Physically, I wouldn’t stand a chance against him. He could make me do whatever he wanted with just physical force. And the fact that he doesn’t even use his sheer size and strength to dominate me, the fact that he only uses his voice to assert his authority, somehow makes this whole situation even hotter.
He knows that he’s powerful, and he doesn’t need to prove that. And that kind of confidence is so fucking hot.
“I said, understood?”
“Yes,” I breathe, feeling as if my whole world is tilting on its axis.
Challenge glints in Jace’s eyes as he demands, “Yes, what?”
My thighs clench and my heart stutters. “Yes, sir.”
He leans down, slanting his lips over mine until I can feel his breath dance over my mouth when he says, “Good girl.”
A shudder rolls through my whole body.
He braces his hand against the wall next to my head as he moves closer. My breasts brush against his bare chest with every breath now. His lips hover over mine. Almost touching. Almost kissing. I drag in unsteady breaths. Jace places his other hand on my hip. A tiny moan escapes my throat.
In the span of a heartbeat, Jace yanks his hand off my hip and pulls back.
The move is so sudden, and so unexpected, that I start. And the loss of his nearness is so jarring that all I can do is to blink at him in stunned surprise as he takes several steps back.
“Test concluded,” he announces. A cold smile slides home on his lips as he gives me a dismissive look. “And guess what? You failed. You talk a lot, but when push comes to shove, you won’t actually do it. Which means that you can’t handle it.” He jerks his chin towards the door. “Now, go to bed.”
Anger roars through me like flames. Shoving off from the wall, I stalk towards him. “Do you want to know what I think?”
“No. But I have a feeling you’re about to tell me anyway.”
With a vicious smile full of challenge on my lips, I stride forward. He holds my gaze, letting me back him towards the bed.
“I think you are the one who can’t handle it,” I counter.
He chuckles as he comes to a halt right in front of the bed, and then gives me a look pulsing with warning. “You are out of your league, little demon.”
“Oh, I don’t think so.” Stopping before him, I wrap my hand around the front of his belt and give it a firm yank. “I saw you when I straightened after I took my pants off. You almost blew your load just seeing me in my underwear.” I smirk at him. “So imagine what will happen when I do this.”
Before he can retort, I release his belt and instead reach up behind me to unclasp my bra.
A ripple shoots through his body as I toss my bra aside, leaving my tits on full display only a step away from him.
“Kayla,” he says, his voice now full of warning.
