“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.”
“I didn’t bring you here to talk about heavy shit, Mia. I thought we could spend some time away from Q and the Electi and all that stuff. Just you and me.” He stretches out on his front and leans up, cupping my jaw in his big hand. “You are so fucking beautiful.” His mouth fixes over mine and I’m paralyzed, afraid to breathe. I don’t want to let him kiss me, but I don’t have a choice.
His tongue parts my lips, coaxing me into the kiss. I stuff down all my feelings for Bexley and detach myself. This isn’t that Mia, the Mia falling for a boy she can never have.
This is the other Mia, hardened by lies and secrets.
I open up for him, letting my tongue meet his in a slow, sensual kiss. My body stirs to life despite the repulsion coursing through me. It’s destabilizing.
Pressing my hands to his chest, I inhale a shaky breath. “Let’s see what’s in the basket.”
Cade drops his head to my shoulder and lets out a frustrated breath. “You can’t avoid me forever, Mia.”
“Not avoiding,” I say, “just hitting pause. This is a lot to digest, Cade. You’re a lot.”
“I’m trying here.”
God, he’s delusional, but I don’t want to start a fight.
I unpack the hamper. It’s full of baked goods and fruit, and there’s sparkling water. “Mulligan did good,” I say, helping myself to a cookie.
Cade watches me savor every bite before pouncing on me. He pushes me down underneath him, staring down at me with hungry eyes. “I’m growing real tired of waiting, Mia.”
Fear trickles through me. Gone is the guy who was trying, replaced by the monster who takes and takes and takes.
“The Coglio—”
“Is a formality. You gave it up to that fucker Bexley, so you’re already tainted. I think it’s time I got a taste of the pussy I’ll be tied to… forever.”
My walls crumble as I tremble beneath him. “Not here,” I say, desperate to hear the bleep of my cell. Something—anything—to distract him. “Not like this,” I add.
Cade bares his teeth like a predator about to attack his prey. He leans in, running his nose along my jaw. “Tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t just fuck you right here, right now.” He grinds into me, showing me exactly how ready he is.
“Because despite what you say, I think tradition is important to you.” I look him dead in the eye, hoping he can’t see the fear there.
“Does this feel like tradition is important to me?” He claws at my skirt, pushing his hand underneath the layers and finding my panties.
“Cade—” The words die in my throat as he pushes his fingers inside me roughly.
Tears gather in the corners of my eyes, but I swallow them down.
“You’re mine, Mia,” he whispers darkly against the corner of my mouth. “Mine to do whatever the fuck I want with.”
Our faces are pressed so close I can barely breathe. But I can see the monster in his eyes. The beast living inside him.
His fingers plunge in and out, setting a brutal rhythm that my body can’t fight.
“No… God,” I breathe as his thumb finds my clit, applying enough pressure to make me unravel.
“Good girl,” he drawls. “Give it to me, Mia. Show me you want this as much as I do.”
A rogue tear slips down my cheek as my body begins to tremble, enslaved to his touch. But suddenly, Cade stops.
“Fuck this,” he mutters to himself. His hand goes to his belt and he snaps it open, undoing his buttons.
God, no.
Not here.
