Alejandro frowned at me. ‘You mean politically, he’s all about family?’
‘Not just politically,’ I snapped.
‘But, he sent you to live with your grandparents? Not to mention he …’ he shook his head and trailed off.
‘I loved living with my grandparents. They were the best,’ I said, feeling annoyed that I felt like I had to justify my childhood to him. ‘My mom and dad travelled a lot on the campaign trail. My grandparents were able to give me stability and security that traveling with my parents wouldn’t.’
‘That sounds suspiciously like a sound bite,’ he said.
‘It’s not a sound bite. It’s true,’ I insisted. ‘My grandma and grandpa were the best.’
He reached up his hand and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. ‘You already said that. Besides, I’m not suggesting that they weren’t. I’m just shocked that your father bleats on about how family is so important to him, yet he dumps his only child on his parents.’
‘He didn’t dump me,’ I snapped. ‘It was for my own good.’
‘Yeah, you keep telling me that. But I don’t buy it.’
‘You’re an asshole,’ I said as I tried to push myself away from him but he held me tight.
‘You keep telling me that too. I don’t doubt that you had a great childhood and your grandparents loved you very much, but you said you never had any money either?’
‘I said we never had much money. We had enough. Not everybody grows up in a gated mansion, Alejandro.’
‘I know that,’ he frowned. ‘But your parents have always had money.’
‘Not always. They’ve always created the illusion of having a lot of money, but when I was growing up, most of the money went on my father’s campaigns.’
He nodded as though something suddenly made sense to him. ‘Why are you so loyal to a man who would give you away — twice?’
‘He didn’t give me away!’ I snapped. Why was he being so cruel? ‘He had no choice.’
‘Is that what he told you?’ he scowled at me.
‘Isn’t that true?’ I hissed.
‘We always have a choice, Alana. Even if it’s a difficult one.’
‘Yes, well sometimes people make choices because they’re desperate-'
‘And sometimes, they make them because they are blind to the truth,’ he replied.
I was about to argue with him, but he rolled on top of me and crushed his mouth over mine. I bit on his lip and he stopped kissing me, grinning at me instead.
‘Feisty tonight, princess?’ he said and then he was at my neck, biting and sucking. I wanted to tell him to stop but my body had other ideas. ‘Stop trying to distract me with sex,’ I snapped.
He chuckled softly. ‘I think we both need a distraction,’ he kissed my neck again. ‘Because for some reason, asking you about your past has made you pissed.’
‘You accusing my father of giving me away to you has made me pissed,’ I snapped.
‘Hmm. We’ll revisit our different understandings of how this contract between you and I came to be, Alana. But not right now,’ he said as he moved lower and sucked one of my nipples into his mouth. ‘Right now, all I want do is make you forget why you’re so pissed at me.’
‘I’d like to see you try,’ I panted as his hand slid slower until his fingers were between my thighs. Even as I said it, I knew I was fighting a losing battle. My body responded to his of its own volition even when my brain was telling it otherwise.
‘It certainly feels like you’d like me to try,’ he growled as he slipped two of his thick fingers inside me.
My legs parted for him and he took the opportunity to move his head southwards before he settled between my thighs and I groaned in desperate need of him. ‘You know I can make you come so hard, you’ll forget what day of the week it is, don’t you, princess?’ he growled against my pussy making my legs tremble.
I wanted to tell him he was wrong and accuse him of being an arrogant asshole, but the truth was, he was right.
