"I’ve come too far for things to not go my way." I smirk.
"You’re awfully confident that I’m coming with you to LA."
"That’s because you’re thinking of it right now. You know this is your last chance to make something of your life. You’re not going to let go of it."
She juts out her chin. "You don’t know me at all."
"I know when you set your mind on something, you’ll do everything in your power to get it."
She half laughs. "All this based on our very limited interaction."
I’ve seen you up close, Solene. I’ve smelled the scent of your arousal. I’ve tasted your lips. Felt as you ground yourself on my cock. If I’d let you that first night, you’d have come all over my tented crotch and created a mess. You’d have gone down on your knees and sucked my dick and begged me to empty myself down your throat, if I’d allowed you to.
"You took off your camisole and threw yourself at me. You kissed me—"
She swallows. "You kissed me back." Her lips part. She’s remembering that kiss. So am I. The fusing of our lips. The clash of teeth. The sweet scent of her arousal that sank into my skin and haunted me for days.
I scoff, “And there’s not a single day I don’t regret it."
She sets her jaw. "Well, I don’t."
"You should. You were only fourteen. I had no business being in that room with you."
"But I wanted you there." She leans forward in her seat. "And I’m sorry I lied to my brother. If I could go back and change things, I would."
"And been beaten up along with me? No, you did the right thing. I was bitter for a long time afterward at what happened…"
"And now—?"
"Now? I wish I never came with Olivia."
The color leaches from her face. "You don’t mean it."
"I only found out you were Olivia’s sister when she called me for help. She wanted me to pose as her fiancé. I couldn’t say no. I thought knowing I was going to see you beforehand would help steel me against the impact of seeing you again, but—"
"But?"
"But, seeing you is bringing back just how stupid I was. You were a child then, and while you’re eighteen now, you’re still innocent in many ways."
She lowers her chin to her chest. "All the more reason I shouldn’t come with you."
"All the more reason you should come with me." I allow my lips to twitch.
"Why’s that?"
"I’m probably the one man who won’t take advantage of you."
She firms her lips. "I’m not that innocent."
I scoff. "The very fact that you’re trying to claim otherwise tells me you are."
Color flushes her cheeks. She opens and shuts her mouth as if she’s unable to form the words she’s thinking in her head.
"You’re safe with me. Our relationship will be strictly professional."
She narrows her gaze. "Why do I not believe you?"
I raise a shoulder. "Believe what you want. One thing is true though…"
