Very smart, playing with a wild animal.
Throughout the day, I write, read, and do some gardening. But nothing keeps my thoughts from going to him.
When Kieran comes back home, I expect him to come to me to show me again he’s the kind of man who needs control and will do anything to shift the power back to his side. Nothing compares to our power play.
I swallow my disappointment when he doesn’t come to find me. I change into my running gear, but I don’t find him in the usual spot. Not waiting for him, I take off, a guard running at a distance behind me, but look over my shoulder in the woods for Kieran. He isn’t there. Gloom clouds over my head, dampening my mood. I shake my head, hating how I got used to him at my side.
Back from the run, I shower, put on a soft pink silky top and matching shorts, and search for him. Kieran is in his office, a king on his throne. Normally, going to him nearly naked would be wrong, but this is important. I will be there when my friend gets married.
His gaze finds me over the rim of his laptop. His eyes darken and my skin, always betraying me around him, breaks out in goose bumps. I approach him, and he leans back in his chair, gloating that I came to him. But I don’t let that satisfied look dissuade me.
“Missed me?”
He’s infuriating.
“You didn’t come running tonight,” I say and trail my finger over his desk.
Satisfaction curls up around the corners of his mouth. “You did.”
I gnash my teeth at his cockiness. Small talk just flew out the window.
I square my shoulders. “I want to go to my friend’s wedding.”
Kieran leans back and taps a finger on his lips. “How much do you want it?”
The asshole knew this was coming. Surely, he’s going to use it as his trump card. He pushes himself off his chair, and the air sizzles around us.
His finger brushes my cheek, and his eyes swallow mine in their endless depths. No wonder I so easily lose myself in him.
“Let me rephrase. What would you let me do to you?” His voice lowers, deepening with sexual innuendo. The spot between my thighs throbs.
“Are you blackmailing me?”
“You want something from me, Aurora.”
“Then the next question would be, what do you want from me?”
“You. I want everything from you.”
I turn my back to him, my heart pounding in my chest. His arms wrap around me, and I sigh.
“You were waiting for something like this, weren’t you?”
He places a kiss on my neck. I squeeze my eyes shut at how my body reacts—it comes alive. “You could always say no.”
“What kind of a person does that to someone?”
“Me,” he answers, with no trace of guilt.
My head drops, and he turns me to him, tipping my chin up.
“I wanted things to be different. Now I am just doing what I should have done from the start.”
“Force me?”
“Call it what you want. Now think before you answer.”
I shove him away, and his heated gaze follows me as I shut the door behind me.
