“I’m just hanging out with my friend,” she seethes through pursed lips. “Problem?”
Her eyes sparkle with challenge and I take a step forward, squashing her between my body and the wall at her back.
“Yes. This is my house.”
“Is it, though? I thought it was James’?”
My teeth grind at the mention of his name. He’s the one who made me this way when he made the decision to let a strung-out druggie keep him away from his kids. If he’d done right by us all those years ago, I might not be like this.
Broken…
Dark…
Bad.
“Why. Are. You. Here?” My hand skims up her body until I can wrap it around her throat, needing to feel her pulse, her fear beneath my fingertips.
“Ellen made cookies. Maybe you should have one. Sweeten you up a little.”
“I’m plenty sweet, Little Dove. And I have a suspicion that you like the way I taste.”
“I wouldn’t know. You don’t let me touch you.” Her eyes narrow as if she’s trying to figure me out.
“Maybe we should fix that right now.”
Her chin drops in shock.
“What, you don’t want to? You don’t want to return the favor I’ve done for you multiple times now?”
Her lips part once more as she fights to find the words she wants to say to me.
“Did you find what you were looking for?”
Her question gives me whiplash.
“This morning. You were going through my panties. Did you find what you were looking for?”
The fear in her eyes tells me that I could well have been on the right lines with my snooping this morning.
“And what if I did?”
She swallows nervously. “I…”
“Why don’t you just tell me, Little Dove? You know I won’t quit until I know every single one of your secrets.”
As I talk, I pop the buttons of her blouse, exposing her pink lace bra beneath. Her arms flinch at her sides—she’s desperate to reach out and cover up, but like a good little girl, she knows who’s in charge here.
“I don’t owe you anything, Cole.”
“Maybe not, but we both know I’m going to find out. So you might as well make it easy for me.”
She tilts her chin away from me, exposing the length of her neck. Unable to resist temptation, I drop my lips to it, sucking the soft skin into my mouth until I know that I’ve marked her.
“Cole.” My name falls from her lips as a moan, but the second her body locks up tight I know she didn’t mean to say it.
“See, you can’t resist.” I lick a line up the length of her neck until I’m at her cheek. “Now, get on your knees.”
Her eyes flash with heat. Heat that I already know she doesn’t want me to see. But she seems to forget that when it comes to her, I see everything.
