"What?"
"Beauty. You called me Beauty."
"You are fucking annoying. I liked you better with my tongue in your mouth." I lower my head and she arches away. She tugs at my grasp. I release her chin and she faces forward.
"Don’t kiss me again."
"You liked it, hmm?"
"No."
"Don’t lie."
"I’m not.
"Wanna bet. I am more than happy to go another round." I allow my lips to curve, "It’s as good a way as any to pass the time."
I coil a strand of her hair around my fingers, bring it to my nose. Cinnamon and sugar, with a dash of hot spice. My mouth waters, and I release the silken length.
"So, what do you say?"
"Go to hell."
"Been there, and I’m not in a hurry to repeat the experience."
"Do you have a rejoinder for every insult?" She huffs.
"Do you always mouth off your captors?"
"I’ve never been kidnapped before.’
"I’ve never…" my voice trails off. I don’t lie, ever. And the fact is, she’s not the first I have abducted. She’s the first whose life I’ve spared, and hell… Why? Why would I do that? Just a few mumbled words and boom… I’m the bitch in this equation. Nope. No way. I need to take control of this situation. Of whatever it is that stretches between us. Need to snap this connection.
"Never been at a loss of words before, huh?" Triumph tinges her tone, and warmth curls in my chest.
My heart begins to thud, my pulse rate ratchets up, and even before the words are out of my mouth, I know I am going to regret it… But fuck that. I am Italian enough to not mess with forces beyond my comprehension. When I had set out this morning to take her life, I hadn’t realized that it would be mine I was forfeiting. Too little, too late. I am helpless, and I have to take the next step. Else we’ll both be left hanging between the devil and a dark place, and to hell with that. I’ll make the decision and be damned. Pay the consequences; no choices. This is it. It has to be this way. There is no other option.
"I’ve never had to choke a woman into complying before."
"What the hell?" She yells, whips her head around.
I wrap an arm around her neck then grab the bicep of my other arm.
She struggles, kicks out, manages to free a leg and sinks her knee into my thigh. Pain laces my nerve endings, lengthens my cock even further. Don’t judge. My tastes have always been on the edge…and this... This has pushed them past a point of no return.
I manage to slide my other hand behind her head, apply pressure to the sides of her neck and she goes limp.
"Sleep, Beauty."
Her breathing deepens.
"Good girl." I cradle her close, whisper my knuckles over her cheek. "When you awake, it will be the start."
Karma
Whispers, the scrape of something smooth against the back of my thighs. I rub my cheek against the silky-hard sensations. The masculine scent of testosterone, musky, like leather with a hint of woodsmoke. Fresh snow on fallen earth. The cold rush of a winter’s wind. The snap and crackle of a fireplace. Warmth creeps up my fingers, my toes. I turn toward it, snuggle in against the hard unrelenting surface. Thud-thud-thud-thud; the beats sink into my blood. My sex clenches in perfect rhythm. Him. He is near. He had crawled into the back of the car with me, had wound his big body around mine and he’d choked me until I’d fainted. I crack open my eyelids and the world swims in my line of sight.
"How dare you?" I cough. "You knocked me out, you obnoxious jackalope."
