“Yeah? Is that what you want, to shut me up again?”

“Is that the only way to get you to stop yelling at me? Do I need to shove my tongue or my dick in your mouth?”

“You don’t have the balls.”

“Fucking watch me,” I growled.

She cocked a dark eyebrow at me as if daring me. “Watch you do what?”

I grabbed her face in my hands and slanted my mouth against hers. She growled into the kiss, biting my bottom lip so she could get the upper hand. Rox was a hellcat, but I didn’t know I would enjoy angry-kissing her this much.

I let her take the lead, her tongue in my mouth and her hands gripping my hair. I snaked my hands down her luscious curves and gripped her hips. She moaned when I lifted her up onto the island and spread her thick thighs open. Instantly, she wrapped her long legs around my waist, and I gripped her thighs tighter as we deepened the kiss.

She angrily pulled at my hair while our tongues battled for dominance. I wondered if this was what sex would be like for us. Instead of screaming at each other, would we fight with our bodies instead? Would we wrestle for who got the upper hand? I really wanted this stubborn, angry woman underneath me right now. Or on top of me.

She yanked my head toward her neck, and I took her lead by pressing hot, angry kisses along her neck until I was sucking on the soft flesh below her ear.

“Oh, fuck…” She moaned and unclenched my hair from around her fingers.

Her hands slid down my back, and she pulled me flush against her. My dick was a hard spike, begging to be inside her warm center. She had to feel it against the thin material of her dress.

The sound of her moans brought me back to earth. I realized I was kissing Rox, and if I didn’t pull away right now, she was going to straight murder me when she came to her senses.

I pulled away suddenly. I could smell her arousal, but if I didn’t stop now, we would do something I knew we would both regret. Well, I wouldn’t regret it, but she would.

“Rox,” I panted.

Hazel eyes flashed open in anger. “What the fuck!”

“I’m sorry. We shouldn’t—”

“Kiss me again,” she demanded as she gripped my t-shirt. Her eyes were ablaze with fury and desire. In my wildest dreams, I never thought she would look at me that way.

“I...what?”

She sighed, grabbed my shirt in both hands, and pulled me back to her lips. My hands went into her hair while I angled her head to kiss her better. I couldn’t help it.

But I pulled back slowly. “Roxanne.”

Her eyes snapped open again. They were a storm of desire in greens and browns. “Stop thinking so hard.”

“We should stop.”

She rolled her eyes at me. “Haven’t you ever hate-fucked anyone? You said you’re tired of fighting all the time, right? So why don’t you try to fuck it out of me? Come on, big guy. Punish me for being so mean to you for all those years.”

I raised a dark eyebrow and kissed her neck again. I nipped at her earlobe and whispered in her ear, “Is that what you want? You want to be punished, you bad girl?”

She grabbed my face in her hands and kissed me again in response. That was all I needed to know. Oh, if hate-sex was what she wanted, I would give it to her good. She’d be screaming my name tonight—and for once, not out of anger.

Chapter Nine

ROXANNE

I sighed into his mouth and loved the way he aggressively pulled me towards him, gripping my hair in between his fingers. I wound my hands around the back of his neck and sunk my fingernails into his skin. His cock pressed into my thigh, and let’s just say, Benny being the biggest guy on the team wasn’t just about his muscles.

Maybe we should have done this sooner. I wanted him so badly. I was finally going to admit it — maybe I didn’t hate him. I just hated the way he made me jump out of my skin when he looked at me. Michael Bennett was too pretty of a man to be interested in someone like me, and maybe my hatred for him was a wall I put up to protect myself. Guys like him didn’t go for the curvy girl.

His lips traveled down my neck to that spot below my ear again. I couldn’t control the moan that sprung from my lips when he nipped and sucked at the sensitive spot. I moaned again when I felt his hand snake up to cup one of my breasts.
