“What’s not fair, sweetheart? That you love it? Is that what’s not fair?”
“No!”
“We can do this your way, or we can do it mine, but either way, you’re going to stop with your pointless temper tantrums.”
She thrashed a bit more, until she realized she wasn’t going anywhere.
“You’re being a dick!”
“Unfortunately for you, I don’t give a fuck.”
She breathed heavily, in and out, her chest rising and falling. Her hair cascaded all over her flushed face.
“I hate you, Caleb Hawkins. You hear me? I. Hate. You.”
I growled from deep within my chest. There was something about hearing her say those three words that sent me over the edge.
I saw it clear as day.
The boundary I set for us was suddenly blurred, and I couldn’t find the line I’d drawn.
Feeling lost made me lose control, and I crashed my mouth onto hers. Clutching the sides of her face, I roughly bit her bottom lip, losing all sense of reason in that moment.
The taste of her.
Feel of her.
Scent of her.
After all these months…
I branded myself into her.
Hundreds of thoughts and questions crossed my mind, but I reluctantly pushed them away when I shouldn’t have. There was something agonizing and desperate in the way my mouth moved against hers while she tried to follow the momentum of my lips.
Her hands reached up, but I intercepted them. I couldn’t let her touch me. If I did, it would be game over for me, and I’d take her to my bed. This was already bad enough.
How could I let this happen?
I growled at the thought, pissed about my sudden weakness when it came to her. I’d spent the last year keeping her at arm’s length, and now it was all a clusterfuck of emotions I didn’t want or have time for.
I needed to stop this madness, but Christ, she felt amazing. I couldn’t bring myself to kill this undeniable connection we had between us since day one.
What the fuck are you doing?
“Caleb…” she breathlessly moaned.
And it was all I needed to instantly back away from her, leaving her there all alone.
On the counter.
In the kitchen.
Of the penthouse suite her brother rented for us, so I could look out for his little sister.
When in reality…
I almost fucked my name out of her mouth.
