“No.”
Her defiant tone angers and turns me on at the same time. Smirking, I tell her, “Then I won’t give you my answer unless you do, kitten. Remember, you need me; I don’t need you.”
The fire returns with a vengeance but she stays quiet knowing that I have her at my mercy. I watch the play of emotions as she decides if it’s worth putting aside her pride or not. Ultimately, she has no choice except to give me what I want.
Something I know is the truth.
“You are the only one I want,” she utters.
“Good girl,” I praise with a smile before locking my expression. “What if it becomes something real?”
“It’ll never happen. We don’t like each other and it’ll only be in name.”
“What if I want more?” I muse in a low voice. She blinks back in shock while trying to gauge my feelings. Her pulse races and I trace it with my thumb before cupping her cheeks.
“You were never a relationship type of guy, Dash,” she huffs sardonically. “Please don’t tell me you’re looking for one now. Just last week, you were fucking two girls at the same time.”
“Maybe I was waiting for the right woman.”
“Then this won’t work.”
“Why?”
“Because my heart is incapable of loving anyone.” Her words come out broken while sadness flashes in her eyes before she hides it. “And even if it was, you’re the one man I’ll never fall in love with.”
The certainty and vehemence in her voice floors me and the words linger between us. They challenge me to prove her wrong while awakening the competitive side of me.
If only love was a game.
If only I didn’t have a black and vindictive heart.
“So sure of yourself,” I mumble to her before dropping my hand and stepping back.
I smooth my suit jacket and tighten my cufflinks while she remains seated. Hesitant confusion dots her pretty face at the sudden coldness in my mood. It puts her into motion as she stands on trembling legs and tucks her hair behind her ear.
Her teeth bite the corner of her mouth before she probes, “So… will you help me, Dash?”
“As honored as I am that you chose me to be your fake husband,” I say flatly, “I’m afraid my answer is a no.”
“But why?”
Her voice flows to me as I leave her standing and walk away before stopping at the door. I twist one last time to face her and taunt back with her own words.
“I’d rather be your one and only regret.”
Chapter Nine
BIANCA
(Seven years ago)
Tonight is going to be the night.
I’m done being the only eighteen-year-old girl holding on to her virginity like a devoted nun or a lovesick fool waiting for her wedding night. I want to know the feel of a hard cock as it slides inside me and the orgasm that follows. It will hurt but I'm past the point of caring. Niall and I will have sex, and I have the perfect plan to entice him.
His house is quiet when I enter with the spare key he gave me. But not too long, though, as the heavy wooden door makes a loud thumping noise after I shut it behind me. Niall lives in a two-story home just outside our university’s campus.
He and I met at my freshers’ party when he was a senior. The second I laid my eyes on him, I knew he was the prettiest boy I’ve ever seen. It was hard not to look away from his chiseled face with brown eyes, sharp jawline, and hair that fell on his forehead, giving him a bad-boy look.
