Staring out the window at the city lights below for a moment, I turned to face him, folding my arms over my chest. “Why am I here, Creed?”
Sliding his hands in his pockets, he began to walk over to where I stood. “I wish I knew.”
“You do realize that doesn’t make any sense, right?”
“Oh, I am aware. None of this does.” He was just as confused by his actions tonight as I was.
Looking around, I asked the one question that had seemed to weigh on my mind the heaviest since that night I left him standing on the sidewalk. “So, will your girlfriend be joining us?”
“Girlfriend?” he asked, running his thumb over his lip, causing my eyes to follow the action. What was it about men running their fingers over their lips that was so sexy? Whatever it was it was having the intended effect, so I attempted to shake it off and stay strong.
“Natasha, of course.”
He chuckled. “Natasha is not my girlfriend. She was just a continuous fuck for a little while, that’s all.”
“How you keep the ladies off of you with that outlook on women I will never know.” I sat down on the couch, stretching my arms out over the back of it, like he’d done in my house earlier. “So, why did you bring me here tonight? To threaten me some more into doing your bidding? Or maybe there’s another party you need me to attend?” I couldn’t help the smirk I shot up at him, knowing damn well he got that dress I gave the driver, then added. “After all, I’m sure you got the dress back from your driver that you bought for me, right? I could just use that one again.”
He smiled at me, but it wasn’t happy. It was sinister. “You almost got a man killed pulling that stunt.”
“Why?” My heart lurched at the thought.
Moving in closer, he sat down on the couch next to me, causing me to pull my arms in and sit up just in case I needed to defend myself. Even though I had no idea how I knew this, but I never thought this man would actually hurt me. He’d already had more than a handful of chances he’d allowed to pass if he ever intended to. I just needed to have some sort of shield against this devil of mine.
“I didn’t like that he had seen what was supposed to be mine that night.”
I almost choked on my words. “Yours? How presumptuous is that, thinking I would sleep with you. I told you; I havezerointerest in anything sexual where you are concerned.”
In the next moment, I was pulled from my sitting position, finding myself on my back beneath him. “I could have easily had you that night. I know it. You know it. You just refuse to admit it to yourself.”
With him on top of me, so close, it was happening again. I couldn’t breathe. This man was stealing any control I had over my emotions, and I didn’t like it.
