“Yeppers! She was as happy as a lark, too! In fact, she couldn’t wait to get home to show her family. Now, if that’s all, I reckon I better get back to the front. The boss is a stickler for those sorts of things.”
Faking a cringe, I tossed my hands up in a ‘what can you do’ gesture like I wasn’t talking about him. Very carefully, I began to make my way out of the office as I walked backward, never taking him out of my eyesight, knowing full well who the alpha was here. I was so close to salvation when he spoke up, halting my steps.
“James, sit your taco-loving ass down.Now.”
In my defense, he only had himself to blame for what happened next. He had brought up my butt and love for tacos in the same threat, after all. Tatzilla had insulted my outfit—the black taco dress I wore was one of my favorites—and commented on the amount of junk I had in my trunk! And yet, it was the ‘now’in his phrase that really got under my skin.
Tilting my chin up, I glared daggers at his devilishly handsome face.
“What did you say about my butt?”
My voice was raspy, my breathing ragged as I tried to calm myself down, my face heating. Evans leaned over his desk, his arms flexing when he clenched his fists, his jaw tight as he scowled hard back at me. It was a staring contest for the ages, one of the highest caliber, our stubbornness battling it out between us.
His look had my pulse racing for an entirely different reason this time.
“Itoldyou to sit your ass down. So do it.Now.”
There it was again, that ‘now’tacked onto the end, adareif I ever heard one. Crossing my arms, I planted myself right where I was, glowering back just as hard at the overbearing jerk.
“Orwhat?”
Yeah, it wasn’t the brightest response, but I also knew how this would end despite telling myself to stop every time.
I never did.
I pushed the darn button every single time that started the domino effect.
What was Tatzilla’s button? Obstinacy and sass, and I had heaps of both.
Like clockwork, he pushed back from his desk, his 6’4” frame filling the space as his dark black hair fell into his eyes. He brushed it back, his tattooed fingers moving it behind his ears. Tatzilla continued to stalk toward me, nothing stopping his trek until his body was towering over me as he eyed his next meal.
His nostrils flared, the movement sending flutters straight to my hoo-hah. There was no doubt I was his prey in this situation, even if I was too stubborn to admit it out loud. Tatzilla moved closer, erasing all the space between us. Instinctively, I backed up despite knowing I’d already been caught. My body didn’t care, it screamed at me to do it anyway.
When my back hit the door, I knew I was trapped. I mean, I’d known that ahead of time. This wasn’t a new thing with us.Oh no. This was a familiar dance between the alpha male and his dinner.
Me—I was his dinner.
My chest rose as my breath quickened, the buttons on the top of my cardigan threatened to give way. His eyes zeroed in on the fabric as it stretched, and I watched as he licked his lips, wetting them with his tongue as he clicked the stud over his teeth.
This was our thing, our whole shtick. Tatzilla and I hated each other with a fiery passion, which resulted in constantly pushing one another’s buttons until we erupted, preferably in orgasms.
Slamming his hands around me on the door frame, I sucked in a breath at the sound. Tatzilla’s dark eyes bore into me, causing me to hold my breath.
“Do you want to try that again,Peach?”
Ah, crap! He’d gone and used his sexy nickname for me. The one he only used when hepurredit. Lifting my chin, my stubbornness flaw was going strong, and I held my ground despite my legs shaking from the lust coursing through me, and I repeated, “Orwhat?”
It was all he needed as his lips crashed down onto mine, demanding entrance. I heard the lock snick seconds before he lifted me by my hips, my legs naturally wrapping around him.
I hated how naturally we fit together.
I hated how good his kisses made me feel.
I hated how I both craved and despised every second of our encounters.
“You need to be punished, Peach, for your sass, and I know just the way to remind you who’s in charge.”
He growled it into my neck, his hot breath licking up my body, promising meall the things.This close, his woody leather scent invaded every part of me, stopping any attempt I could make to halt this.
