When I opened the car door, Axel was staring straight ahead with a grim look on his face; his eyes were blank and expressionless.Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.I saw the cell humming on the console and realized it was mine. I didn’t notice how it’d fallen out of my pocket. Sliding into the seat, I picked it up and saw my mom’s face flash across the screen. I silenced it. I’d call her later.
As soon as I closed my door, Axel threw the car into drive and sped out of the parking lot. Night had closed in, and we were driving farther away from Hillside. The next town was thirty miles away. “Where are we going?”
Several seconds ticked by as the humming of tires on asphalt and the low strum of bass from the radio floated in the air between us. Without giving me a glance, his fist tightened on the wheel. “I told you we were taking a joyride.”
I checked my cell again and saw the notifications. There were missed calls from Kiran, as well as a text message from him. When I read it, my heart sped up to the point I thought I might have a heart attack. No wonder my mom was calling me.Oh, my god. Oh, my god.The reality was setting in, and I couldn’t deal with it. I didn’t want this. I didn’t want any of this. I closed my eyes, fighting back tears of frustration.
“Bad news?” Axel’s voice sounded distant, and he slowed and hooked a left on a deserted county road.
“No.” I leaned back and pinched the bridge of my nose.
After another mile, he pulled off on a dirt trail and drove a few feet before putting the car into park and killing the headlights. We were out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by pastures and trees.
Axel shifted in his seat with one arm slung casually over the steering wheel as he finally glanced at me. His face was a cool mask of indifference. “So, tell me, Natalie… do you like me?”
I didn’t know what Axel was doing, and he was apparently still worked up over Trey. “You know I do,” I said cautiously.
“How much?”
My cell rang again in my lap, but before I could do anything, he’d snatched it out of my hands and tossed it in the back seat. “No distractions.”
Startled, I sat frozen, trying to gauge his mood.
“Answer me,” he rasped.
“You already know the answer.”
“Do I?” He tilted his head, and his lips curled up. “I don’t know. Maybe I’m feeling a little insecure. I think you need to give me a demonstration.”
“If this is about what happened earlier with Trey…”
“I don’t want to talk about what happened earlier. I want you to show me how much you like me.” He seemed casual, relaxed, but there was something different in the tone of his words.
“How?”
“If I have to tell you how, then you must not care for me that much.” He eased his seat back, giving himself more space. “But being the considerate person I am, I’m gonna give you a hint.” He lounged back in his seat and tapped his thigh. “Come here.”
Something seemed off, yet I still wanted to please him. Wanted to ease the underlying tension that radiated between us. With reservation, I slowly climbed over the console and landed in his lap, settling my knees around his thighs. With my hands on his chest, I paused, waiting for his lead. Waiting for him to kiss me, touch me, anything.
“Take off your clothes,” he said finally and sat, as if unfazed. As if I were the entertainment that he’d paid money to see perform.
We were in a car in the middle of nowhere, and he wanted me to strip? “But—”
“Take. It. Off.”
Fighting my nerves, I began fumbling with the buttons on my bodice and slipped the cap sleeves down my arms until the fabric fell to my waist. Reaching behind me, I unhooked my bra and slid it off, too. Peering up at him with uncertainty, I rubbed my palms over my thighs.
“All the way.”
His words may have been bossy and curt, and he may have acted indifferent, but I could feel his hard-on beneath me.He wasn’t that indifferent, was he? Wetness pooled at my core, and I scrambled onto his lap awkwardly, tugging my romper down my legs until I was finally free of it.
I reached for my thong, but he stopped me. “Leave this on.”
His eyes scanned my body, and he ran his tongue over his bottom lip. His eyes seemed to cover every inch of my body as though he were trying to memorize it. He looked away and cursed under his breath before reaching out and clasping the back of my neck, yanking me close until my mouth was on his.
He devoured my lips relentlessly. Licking, sucking, nipping, and biting. I relished every moment. I dug my fingers into his thick hair as his mouth trailed down my neck, where he bit and sucked on my skin. I gasped, relishing the pleasure mixed with pain.
Axel pulled back, and his hand tightened securely on my neck. “What are you willing to do to prove how much you care for me, Natalie?”
