It was easy to seethat her walls were crumbling, and I had every intention of pushing her over the edge tonight. I had been patient long enough where she was concerned, and I wasn’t a patient man to begin with. Reaching down, I pushed her legs apart, nestling myself right where I belonged.
Between them.
I leaned in so close; I could feel her hot breath on my face. “Do you believe the man you saw beaten up in my office that night at the club lived to tell anyone about it?”
Confusion contorted on her face. She was surprised by my line of questioning, thinking I was just ready to go in for the kill. It was definitely my intention, but a slow burn would brand her so much sweeter in the end.
Like I said, I played dirty, and with this woman, the dirtier the better.
“W-what do you mean?”
“Do you think I let himlive?”
She seemed to try to come to terms with the idea that she knew deep down he was gone. “No.”
“So why haven’t you called the police and reported me yet?”
Pushing my body up off of hers, I only allowed a small amount of room between us. “Because you threatened my life and my friends life. Did you forget about all of that?”
“No. But you could have easily gone to the cops and had them put you in protective custody.” She only stared at me as if she was grappling with the idea of why shereallyhadn’t gone to the police. “I do have a theory on why you didn’t, though.”
“And what would that be?”
“I believe that you didn’t go to the cops because as much as you want to put your morals first, I think there’s something in me that calls to your dark side. And even though you’re so desperately trying to ignore it, a part of you wants to explore that side of yourself.”
The look she gave me was one of defiance. “Maybe I just didn’t want to uproot our lives. Did you ever think of that?”
I couldn’t hold back any longer with this woman. I knew my darkness called to her in some way, all she needed was a small nudge. Leaning in once again, I kissed her neck. “That makes you no better than me, my little vixen. You could have easily put me behind bars and gave that man and his family some kind of justice, but you didn’t. You put yourself first. Just as I do.” I continued kissing my way down her neck, noticing the hitch in her breathing. Her nipples were turning to hardened pebbles against my chest and I was about to lose my shit if this woman didn’t give me the green light soon.
“You’re right.”
I halted my ministrations on her body, looking up at her with a satisfied smirk on my face. Now we were getting somewhere. “Which part?”
“I should have called the police, but I didn’t.”
Staring into her eyes, I had to know herrealresponse to my next statement. “Because you wanted me.”
She fell silent for a moment, but then finally answered in a low breath as if only for her ears. “Maybe.”
The ground she had so firmly stood on was crumbling and it would only take one more push for the whole thing to completely collapse beneath her. Tipping my head down, I lightly touched my lips to hers, testing the waters. When I moved to deepen the kiss, I felt her hands wrap tightly around my biceps, pulling me into her even closer. It was all the green light I needed. Parting her lips my tongue swept inside of her mouth, silencing any protests she might have. I continued to devour her mouth with mine, enjoying the feeling more with her than I’d ever done with anyone else. She was like a peek inside the gates of heaven, and I was a man desperate to drop to his knees. She tasted even better than I could have ever imagined. The way she returned my kiss with her own frenzied need had me gathering her up in my arms, pulling her from the couch.
Her legs locked around my waist, both of us feeding off on one another as I blindly made my way to the bedroom where I would finally be able take possession of what was mine. After bumping into a couple of walls on the way, I kicked the door to my bedroom open with my foot, making my way inside with her ass still cupped in my hands. Feeling the bed hit the front of my legs, I slowly lowered her down onto it, positioning myself on top of her once again. She was a perfect fit beneath me. One I knew I’d never find again, and that thought alone had me pulling my body away from her. She was like a succubus, sucking me in, and I was losing the control I’d always held on so tightly to.
She looked as confused by my actions as I was. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Just need these clothes off of you.” I may be losing control, but I was not about to put an end to this before it even had the chance to get started.
The moment I tugged on her pajama bottoms, she grabbed a hold of my hand. “Wait.” When I looked up at her in question, she continued, “what exactly is this between us? Am I just here to be another Natasha for you? Or am I meant to be less than that? I’m only asking because I want to know up front. I don’t want to have any misconceptions about what’s about to happen here tonight.”
“What is it you want?” I couldn’t believe I had even cared enough to ask the question about what she wanted. I never did where anyone else was concerned, I was a man who was only for himself.
She seemed to think about her answer for a beat. “I want to not be attracted to you.”
I leaned down and took her mouth in another deep kiss. “That’s something I can’t, and won’t, help you with.”
“I shouldn’t want you. You’re everything that’s wrong with this. You play too many games, Creed. It’s like life is all just one big chessboard to you.”
“You’re not a game to me, Clarice.” All this talk was beginning to really test my patience. It was getting in the way of my fucking her, and I needed to put an end to it now. “Just answer one question. Do you want me?”
