He stepped forward, bringing us chest to chest, forcing me to tilt my head back so I could look up at him. In one swift motion, he had his thumb over my trachea, gently applying pressure.
“What were you doing in the woods?”
“You saw what I was doing.”
“Come on now, Cali, I know you’re smarter than this.” He shook his head and tsked at me.
Once again, I had to keep my face impassive. How did he know my name? He leaned in so close I could smell traces of menthol on his breath. His proximity had my discomfort levels off the charts for reasons I wasn’t accustomed to.
I wrapped a hand around his wrist and placed the other against his firm chest, keeping my eyes locked with his, letting him know I wasn’t intimidated.
“Is this making you feel better about yourself? Interrogating a helpless woman?”
“Now, we both know you’re far from helpless. But yes, it is kind of making my dick hard.”
I coughed to cover the laugh that almost slipped out. His raised brows told me he heard it anyway. Thankfully, he didn’t comment on it.
“I’m still waiting on an answer, Cali.” He said my name like it was something decadent.
He began to run his thumb up and down my throat. The feel of his skin against mine gave me a feeling I couldn’t describe. His touch didn’t make my heart race with anxiety, my limbs didn’t shake from nervous energy, and my knees didn’t grow so weak that I fell at his feet. His touch made me feel unexplainably calm and warm at the same time, like at any second my skin would burst into flame, but it was okay as long as his hand stayed wrapped around my throat.
“Such a fragile thing, you,” he murmured. When he leaned in again, I thought he was going to try to put his mouth on mine. I was well prepared to high-knee his balls into his stomach for calling me fragile.
Instead, he spoke directly in my ear. “What were you doing in my woods?” His warm breath trickled across my skin, his voice low and menacing. He pulled back but kept his thumb in place, studying my face. His dark stare penetrated right through me, daring my lips to spill the lie that sat on the tip of my tongue. For a second, I forgot how to breathe.
“I got lost. I…”
With the slightest tilt of his head, I knew he didn’t believe me.
“I was with a guy. He dumped me off on the side of the road after doing this.” I pointed to my stab wound. “All I was trying to do was get away from the main road.”
He looked at me a few seconds before saying, “Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Yeah, now let’s try this again, and this time don’t fucking lie, or I’ll snap your pretty little neck.”
CHAPTER TEN
I used my body to back her against the bathroom wall, pinning her wrists down on either side of her.
“You have a super original method for handling women,” she quipped.
I couldn’t stop myself from laughing in her face. What the fuck was wrong with this girl? Either the people we killed were Academy Award winning actors who willingly pissed their pants in fear, or she was a little more off than I thought. No one had the balls to be this brazen.
Maybe she was psychotic. I liked that.
Her throat bobbed as she swallowed.
The tip of her tongue darted out and she licked her lips. I tracked the movement like a goddamn wolf stalking a deer.
Using my knee, I nudged her legs apart and moved her wrists upward, forcing her to make a T, inadvertently lifting the shirt she chose to wear. A dead man’s shirt—she turned a dead man’s shirt into a dress.
I had to look down to see it because of how much smaller than me she was. Everything about her was tiny, exactly like a fucking pixie. And she wasn’t wearing any fuckin underwear.
Her bare pussy was right on top of my denim clad knee. As if realizing the same thing, the faintest little gasp slipped through her lips and sent blood rushing to the tip of my cock. I studied her pinched features and grinned.
“You like that, don’t you? Cause if you like that, you’re going to love the way I fuck.”
