“You’re insane,” she cries, regaining her strength and starting to fight against his hold. “I’ll never be thankful to you for anything. All you’ve done is ruin my life.”
“That’s a bit harsh, Pet. Right now, you’re looking at your husband. I can assure you that if he were anyone else the other night, they’d already be shark bait.”
She screams, her shrill voice echoing in the silent house.
In her anger, she missed the unspoken words in Reid’s confession.
Heshouldbe dead. He’s not lying when he says that anyone else would be.
Reid spared his life because of Alana.
One day, she’ll figure that out. But something tells me that it won’t be anytime soon because she’s blinded by anger.
She continues fighting, but Reid isn’t having any of it. He spins her around, forcing her to tear her eyes away from Mav, and throws her down on the bed before jumping on top of her, pinning her thighs with his own and her arms with his fingers around her wrists.
“Enough.” He growls.
It’s the closest I think I’ve ever seen them, and fuck me, if they don’t look good together.
“Fuck you,” she spits.
Reid chuckles darkly.
“I’m not interested in Victor’s trash, Pet.”
My stomach knots, knowing that his words are going to hurt her. Not that she’ll show it.
“Then throw me out, asshole. If I’m nothing but trash, why the fuck would you want me in your house?”
“Because you’re the final piece of my puzzle,” he roars, shocking the shit out of me.
Silence follows his booming confession. No one speaks. Hell, I’m pretty sure no one breathes as the words settle around us.
He usually keeps his cards so close to his chest. I’ve no idea if he’s starting to believe that offering up a little bit of honesty with her will get results or if he’s just so pissed off with this entire thing that his mouth is running away with him.
No. It can’t be that.
Reid never loses sight of his goal. Ever.
It doesn’t matter how hot the girl is glaring up at him with nothing but unfiltered hate in her eyes, or how magnificent her pussy is.
He will not let go until he gets what he wants.
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
He sucks in a deep breath, his nostrils flaring and his chest expanding and shoulders widening.
“Tell me everything, Pet. All the dark and ugly secrets that leave you screaming alone in the darkness at night.”
I move closer, equally as terrified as I am excited to get something out of her finally.
“What’s the point? You already know,” she seethes.
“No. I’m guessing. Putting together the few nuggets of information I’ve already gleaned from you.”
“It’s enough,” she insists.
Her chest heaves as she stares up at him, her eyes swollen from crying and tears glistening on her cheeks.
