He watched her in silence for a few minutes. “That he wants you back.”
“Not happening!”
“I’m not suggesting it should.” He closed the gap between them to grasp her chin and raise it. “In fact, it works out better for me if you don’t have a boyfriend.”
Bastard, bastard, bastard! No, he doesn’t deserve a kiss. She remained still, not offering her lips but not pulling away either. “You already have enough women, and I bet before long you’ll be sleeping with the new ones too. They seemed eager enough. You don’t need me.”
“Jealous?” He smiled, but anger glittered in his gaze.
“Kiss my ass.” Her biggest problem was that he never denied it when she accused him of sleeping with all the women. She couldn’t abide a playboy.
He snatched her close and rested a massive palm on one butt cheek. Sienna creamed her panties. The twitch in his nose told her he knew. She cursed the bad luck that made her one of them.
“I might do just that.”
The sultry whisper almost brought her to her knees.
Sienna knew what Karl felt, lost in emotions he had no control over. She shut her eyes and drew in several steadying breaths. “If I wanted to walk away from you…from this…would you let me?”
“Sienna, we need each other.”
“No, you need women to worship the ground you walk on. Maybe the men too.” Somehow she broke from his hold and backed up, folding her arms over her chest. “I need to know if you’re going to make me spread my legs for you, because if that’s the case you’re not as much of a man as you claim to be.”
He clenched his hands into fists at his sides. “You’re trying to shame me into doing the right thing?”
“Whatever it takes.”
“I’ve already said I won’t force you. I don’t need to.” Sienna didn’t know if he meant she was already hot for him, or if he meant he had more than enou
gh women to satisfy his needs. “I don’t know how to take you.”
“That’s the first time you’ve been completely honest with yourself.”
She narrowed her eyes at him. “Don’t psychoanalyze me. Anyway, at the end of this little gathering, I’m going home, and I’m not coming back or having anything to do with the pride ever again. If you have a problem with that, you better speak up now.”
She waited for him to respond. His gaze, hot and full of a mixture between desire and anger, never wavered from hers. Sienna had to grit her teeth to keep from skating back into his arms. Today was different though. She could tell he had dialed down his power. The pull was there, but it wasn’t like he was using it against her. She didn’t want to admit it, but the longing to be close to him was all her.
“Have sex with me.”
“Whoa! What?” She put her hands up in defense, but he hadn’t moved a muscle.
“Let it be your decision, nothing serious, no promises. Have sex with me just for the pleasure we can give each other.”
“No, hell no. Not going to happen.” She kept shaking her head and retreating from him with unsteady steps. He stayed where he was, apparently trying not to be threatening. “I’m not going to be another notch on your belt.”
This time he did move. One foot set down on the grass where they stood like a death sentence about to be dealt out. Okay, now I’m getting ridiculous. Pull it together, Sienna.
“You want it,” he said. “I smell your want.”
Sienna searched for an excuse and found one. She slapped her hands on her hips. “So what? You’re a sexy man. I’ll give you that, but it doesn’t mean I have to give in to the attraction between us. I’m no different from any other woman out there. I want commitment and a relationship. I don’t sleep around. There are plenty of women who do. You don’t need me.”
“Oh but I do.”
The few feet between them vanished, and Sienna found herself wedged up against his chest. She had time to part her lips to fuss, but he cut off the words, crushing her lips with his. From the first taste, her resistance crumbled. She kissed him, slanting her head and arching her back. Her hands trapped between them, she clutched his shirt. A small moan ripped from her throat, and she welcomed the invasion of his tongue when it came.
Not even warning bells went off in her head when he left her mouth to trail kisses along her throat. She curved into him when he shoved a rough hand beneath her jacket and blouse to tear her bra away from her breast. He pinched her nipple so hard it hurt, and she cried out in pleasure.
Toron leaned back long enough to take her hands and put them on his pants button. He captured her bottom lip and nipped it. “Take me out.”
