Snapped.
Gigi
After I drank thetea that Vince had made me, I ended up coming up with an excuse to leave. It was immature and lame, but I needed to get out of there and think for a moment. I was stuck in my career and hadn’t moved as forward as I would have liked. I had amazing clients and a stable job, but it wasn’t enough. Vince was everything I wanted and everything I hoped for when it came to being with him.
“Give the kid a break.”
My mom’s words bounced around in my head.
Vince never gave me any reason to doubt his feelings for me, but I still didn’t want to reveal all only to get hurt in the process. Not that I thought it would happen, but it was okay to be cautious. Wasn’t it?
As soon as I pulled into my driveway, I killed the engine and sat there. What the hell was I doing?
Reaching for my bag, I pulled out my phone and sent Vince a text. Knowing it was going to come back to bite me in the ass, I hit send before I could even think about it. I didn’t even read the text over before sending it. I didn’t even think. I just hit that little button and decided to let fate take its course.
A part of me wondered if maybe I was testing him. If he really wanted me, he would come over after reading the text. He wouldfind me. He would demand to know what my problem was and wouldn’t stop until I revealed all. My body burned at the mere idea of him showing up filled with rage. I was baiting him, and I couldn’t wait to watch him explode.
When my phone started ringing, my head whipped around. Oh God. He read the text.
Leaving the car, I ran up to the front door of my house. I hesitated, looking over my shoulder. I half expected Vince to jump out of the bushes and demand to know why the hell I would send that text but when he didn’t, I unlocked the front door and went inside.
Kicking it closed, I let out a sigh of relief that I was finally alone. Even if it was just for a little bit, I needed time to gather my thoughts and feelings before Vince came barreling into my house. He would. I expected it.
My mind traveled back to the night before. I couldn’t help but think how close Vince and I had become over the past few weeks. How he touched me, kissed me, made me smile and laugh. I wanted that. Constantly.
Taking a long hot shower, I washed the night before off of my aching bones. I had to give it to Vince. He left me wanting more and made good on his promise. I was sore. I never even hurt this much after working out or going for a long run. It was like he made me use different muscles in my body I never even knew existed.
Suddenly, the bathroom door banged open.
I screamed.
The shower curtain ripped open.
Vince stood there, red faced and breathing heavily. “You’re fucking done? That’s it?” he seethed. “You’re just giving up? What about the fucking promise you made me?”
“I lied,” I blurted, shocked that he was there, but excited that he was at the same time.
His face darkened, the muscle in his jaw ticked even more the longer we just stood there, staring at each other. He spun away from me and pulled open the bathroom door so damn hard, I was surprised it didn’t come off its hinges. “Get out of the fucking shower.Now.”
“No.” I wasn’t sure why I was defying him, but I wanted to test him. I wanted him to snap. I wanted him to prove to me that this was it. Thatwewere it. That I was worth it.
When he looked at me over his shoulder, my throat went dry.
“I’ve waited my whole life for you.” Venom dripped from his voice. “I’m not about to let some damn text stop me from taking what’s mine.”
“Oh? And what’s that, Vince? Me? Am I yours?” I laughed when he didn’t say anything. “I thought so.” I closed the curtain and finished my shower. When I was done, I turned off the water when arms wrapped around me and pulled me off my feet. “Vince,” I cried out. “What the hell are you doing?”
He didn’t say anything and only dragged me out of the bathroom as my body heated. I shouldn’t like this side of him, but I did. I couldn’t help it.
Before I knew what was happening, I was dropped on my bed. “You can’t get me to talk by fucking me, Vince.”
He chuckled, the sound cold and dangerous. “Try me.”
My core clenched. I pushed him back and jumped off the bed. The cool air wafted around my still wet body, sending a shiver down my spine.
“Gigi.” He grabbed my hand, spinning me around. “Tell me you don’t want this. Tell me you didn’t enjoy what we did last night.”
I pushed against him, trying to get out of his arms but his hold was too strong.
