“Yes. I said fine. I’ll accept your deal.”
When he made the mistake of letting go of my arms, brushing his fingertips against my cheek, I used the slight advantage, knowing I’d likely never get another.
After twisting, I slammed my hand into his groin then elbowed him, the two hard blows just enough I managed to dash out of the bathroom toward the door. If I could make it outside, I might stand a chance of getting away from him.
I should have known the bastard was used to a hell of a lot more pain. Within seconds, he yanked me by the hair, jerking me back by several feet.
But I was prepared, swinging around and ignoring the pain, able to issue a hard kick to his stomach. My hair slipped through his fingers and when I cracked my backhand across his face, his growl was inhuman.
And it was filled with rage.
He fisted my hair at the scalp with one hand then wrapped his arm around my neck, yanking me against his body. “That wasn’t very nice of you, Jade. Here I was trying to make you a decent offer in order to keep you unhurt and alive, but I’m not certain you’re grateful for that.”
Even though he added pressure to his firm hold, I managed to laugh. “Grateful to you? Never.”
“Hmmm… Then I guess it’s time for you to begin the punishment phase of your incarceration.”
“What?”
He didn’t hesitate, dragging me closer to the bed, sitting down then jerking me over his knees. I was shocked at first, unable to react. When he ripped off my panties, I bucked hard against him, but all I was doing was creating additional fire between us. My mind was a blur, my nipples fully aroused. Then he brought his hand down against my bottom and I couldn’t have been more shocked. What the hell was he doing?
I squirmed and moaned as he delivered four in rapid succession, and it was easy to tell he was enjoying every minute of tormenting me. Damn the man.
“Let go!” I yelled
“You’re in no position to make demands, Jade.”
God. I wanted to rip out his eyes every time he used my name, the emphasis making me feel like a bad girl when he was the vile creature.
“To hell with you,” I said, the words more garbled than I wanted.
His laugh sent another wave of skittering sensations through me. “I assure you that’s where I’m going, but you made a deal. In my world, a person’s word is sacred. You broke that trust instantly. Now, you’re going to pay the price.”
Nothing was going to prevent me from fighting him. I used all my strength, the power of the muscles in my thighs, able to twist then drop off his lap. I managed to crawl away. He only laughed. Then he grabbed my ankle, dragging me back, lifting me as if I weighed nothing. As he wrapped his arm around my neck, I finally whimpered both from fear as well as desire that continued to trickle through me.
“Mmm… I do so love a woman with spirit,” he breathed as he rolled his hand down my arm, brushing his fingers to my breast. He cupped and squeezed until a flash of pain jetted into my muscles. “That will make it much more enjoyable when I break you, and I will break you, Jade.”
“Fuck you.”
He laughed in my ear then ripped at my bra, managing within seconds to tear it off. “Yes, soon, my lovely bride to be. Very soon.” He seemed to be enjoying himself, raking his fingers down my side, crawling them over my thigh. “Are you already wet for me?”
“Never.”
“Your body betrays you, Jade.”
“Stop saying my name!” I realized my demands meant nothing, but I refused to give in easily. Would he really keep his end of the deal? What was I thinking? There was no amount of money in the world that could allow me to tolerate him. I just…
He slipped his hand between my legs, swirling a fingertip around my clit. “Yes, you’re very wet. I noticed how you looked at me in the courtroom, the yearning you had for me to touch you just like this.”
“You’re a fucking asshole. That’s not true.”
“Why lie to yourself? Now, I’m going to finish spanking you.”
He tossed me onto my bed, growling like the animal he was.
He’d stalked me.
Now he intended on making me his.
