Staring back at me for a moment, I could see the war raging in her eyes to make the choice to put my needs ahead of her own. "Archer, what you're asking of me isn't as easy as that. Jared's going to want to know why I suddenly don't want to have sex with him."
"Then you could always just stop seeing him and avoid the whole awkward situation all together."
She let out a heavy breath. "Look, I'm not promising you anything. I will think about it. But I'm not going to give you much longer Archer, I can't. You can't ask that of me anymore."
Giving her one more kiss on the lips, I left her with my final words of warning. "Angel, when I come for you, and I will, you won't be able to refuse me in any way ever again." With a stunned and turned on expression etched on her face, I turned to leave, satisfied that I'd gotten through to her and left her with everything to think about.
CHAPTER
4
Sloane
Waking up alone thismorning I couldn't get the hurt look on Jared's face out of my head when I told him I wanted to be alone to think last night. But I also couldn't get the heated promise of Archer's words out of my mind either. I hated that he could still just ride in on his black horse and sweep my mind and body right out from under me like it belonged to him and he was never even gone for those two months.
You're weak.
I thought to myself. Weak for his touch and the things I knew only he could do to my body. It wasn’t that the sex with Jared was bad, because it wasn't, it was really good. But there was an edge of darkness to Archer that Jared didn't possess. An edge I knew hid some mysterious secret as well as some serious skills in making me wet for him each and every time we were together. My phone beeping with a text brought me out of my thoughts. Looking down at the screen, I could see it was my friend Janessa.
Janessa: Hey Slo, was checking to see if you wanted to hang out tonight. There's this club my new friend, Margo, can get us into and it's something you have to see to believe. It's called The Dark Playroom. Pleeeeease come with.
Reading her text, I couldn't help but be intrigued, but with Janessa you just never knew what kind of trouble you'd be getting into because that girl attracted it like a moth to a flame. But it was Friday, and I had no other plans, especially if I wanted to avoid seeing Jared, this gave me the perfect excuse, a girls' night out, so I decide what the hell and texted her back.
Me: Sounds like fun what time are you guys going?
A few minutes later I got my reply.
Janessa: Yay!!! We'll pick you up at nine o'clock!
Me: Okay, see you then.
My day at work flew by with no incidents occurring like yesterday thankfully. Walking into my apartment after my little shopping trip I decided to go on today and treat myself, I took the dress I found out of the bag and hung it up while I went to take a shower. Looking over my hair, I decided to wear it in an upsweep with random strands hanging down around my face here and there with light curls added. After a recent visit to my hair stylist, I just loved the new lighter color that I changed it to. It was more of a golden blonde now, but still highlighted with a lighter chestnut color running through it. It made my walnut colored eyes stand out. Adding some light smoky eye shadow and red lipstick, my look was complete. Not too dull and not too dramatic. Heading to my room, I put on the new dress that hugged all of the curves on my body like a glove. It was black and covered one arm all the way to the wrist and ran up my arm and behind the neck, then crossed over to the front and down to mid thigh length, leaving the other arm completely bare. I paired it with my favorite black four-inch heels that had small strips that criss-crossed from the toe all the way to my ankle.
Giving myself the final once over, I was happy with the look and how it made me feel.
Sexy.
