Chapter Seventeen

Duncan

I am a fucking idiot. In everything else in life, I am the biggest, the baddest, the best, the shit...but I can't seem to get my shit together when it comes to this woman. She is driving me crazy, and she isn't even here.

I have been pacing back and forth with a whiskey in my hand near the door for most of the night. I sent her on that date because her dead father, my domn, told me I had to. Everything I had learned since coming into his employment told me that I had to send her on that date and that I will have to send her on more until she finally picks the Romanian man she is to marry. The man she will be running can Adame alongside. But there is also so much I know that makes me want to find out where the hell they went and get her out of there and into my bed, never let her leave me again.

Is it her body? Oh yeah, there's that. That long, dark hair against her pale skin drives me hella nuts, but it's more than that. Her sass and the way she sees right through me makes me want to see through her too.

And to top it all off, even if I believed that Mariana had as much say in things as Ion did, I doubted anyone who would even be half a fit for Willow would allow her a say. Clan Adame is known for its ties, its familial ties, to some of the most ruthless people, in the world. The name is so damn powerful, too. Whatever man she chooses, or whatever man I choose for her, will use her for that position and nothing more, at the very best. At the worst...well, I don't want to think about that. I don't want to think she is even capable of allowing such atrocities to happen. She's too pig-headed for that.

But here I am, the man who never gets tied down by a chick, ready to claim one and never let anyone else touch her again as I wait to find out how much Willow liked the low-class pussy I sent her out with. And I feel like I am Leo DiCaprio in that damn scene when he's Romeo screaming about being fortune’s fool.

Such a damn fool.

I hear the sound of tires and go to the door, looking through the peephole like the desperate ass I am to see if it's her. And it is. But there are two cars. I practically break my glass to shards before setting it down and walking out the door. She rode home in the same car with that moron, and I don't care who he is or how much he likes her, this ends before a goodnight kiss.

I storm out and yank the door open, hoping I am choosing the right side. I pull her out, the smile that was on her face wiped off instantly while we go inside.

I know she is going to let me have it and rip me a new one with her words. I can feel the tension, but I couldn't help myself. My shoulders sag in defeat against my will as the door shuts, and I turn around to look at her and wait to hear what she is going to say now. I might just let her win this time and make up for it on a better day.

Only, her eyes soften, and she comes towards me faster than I can react to it, her lips pressing to mine. I don’t know what the hell this crazy chick is up to, but damn do I like it, and I won't dare deny it. Not for one second. I just can’t.

So, the shock wearing off quickly, I give her what he clearly wants; a fucking reaction.

My hands go into that perfect hair of hers, a chunk in my fist. It will surely be messed up now, but she doesn't seem to care as she sighs against me. If this is a test, I intend to fail miserably, and if it’s not, then I am in big trouble come morning. But it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission, right?

I know I need to get her out of this room, out from the open and prying eyes. If we do this, no one can know. All these men may respect me, may take orders from the two of us because of our positions, but if they know I am breaking all the damn rules, that will change.

I lift her up, so easy, so breakable, and I carry her out of here, to my room. Her hands are still all over me even as I am trying to get us out of this room, and I am beyond ready to take her just the way I've always wanted just looking at her. And I would like to draw this out, tease and torture her for all the shit she gives me, but I don't think either of us is in the mood for that tonight.

I shut the door behind us with a kick and smirk at Willow before diving into that pretty face of hers again, my teeth tugging at her bottom lip as she moans into me.

I slide my hand up her dress, and I hear something rip. I don't care. She can get a new one. She can get a million new ones with the kind of money she's inherited. But tonight is probably the only night we get to do this, to pretend like there's no tomorrow and no consequences to face.

So, I throw her down on the bed with a growl as she scoots back away from me. We are predator and prey tonight.

I pull my shirt apart; who gives a damn about some buttons anyway? And I crawl onto that bed with her, snaking my hand back up her dress. I smile when I can tell that she likes it, her head dropping back and her breathing heavy. I grit my teeth as I feel my bulge pressing against my pants, and I let the dress rip all the way up with a forceful push until I can see her lace panties, her perfect skin peeking through at me form tiny places.

I am an animal, and I can't control myself anymore. I don't know whose clothes are off first, but I soon find my skin pressing against hers as my lips trail down the left side of her neck.

She sighs into me and I place myself right there at her entrance, my hand tingling in her hair once again as I use that as leverage to yank her up to me. I want to look her in the eyes as I enter her.

Her mouth opens wide as I slide in. She's so damn tight I feel like I am being squeezed out, but I press on; I have to. I have to have her now.

Her eyes go wide as I get more of my length in, and I sigh, barely j holding it together as I attempt to get deeper. I want to feel her all the way and be a part of her, even for just this one night. Maybe then I can let her go.

I thrust hard, and she calls out, but I place my hand over her mouth. Too noisy, and everyone will think someone's in danger. I want her all to myself. No one is stopping this.

I finally get in, a rhythm starting as she reached out and climbs on me, sitting on me with her legs wrapped around my body. Her nails dig into my back, and I arch it, enjoying and hurting at the same damn time. This woman is going to drive me nuts.

And she does, so many times I lose count.
