“Going out with him,” he rasps into my face, “was incredibly fucking stupid.”
“Because of the threat against us?” I snap. “Or because he’s a man who isn’tyou?”
“First of all,” Castle mutters thinly, “he’s a kid,nota man like me.”
Fuck, why is that so hot. And so freaking true. Stavros isn’t actually that much younger than Castle—he’s probably midway between our ages—and he’s a good-looking guy.
But he’s got nothing on Castle.
Stavrosisa boy in comparison.
Castle’s the mostmanI’ve ever known. Rough, hardened, masculine, dangerous. Hauntingly beautiful, yet stony and full of sharp angles and hard walls.
“And second of all,” he hisses. “Thereisa threat against us!Clearly!”
“Well!” I snap back. “I didn’tknowthat yester—”
“Thatwill notbe happening again.”
“What won’t? My lunch with a friend, or you kissing me like I belong to you before getting into my pants?!”
The kitchen goes silent as we both freeze. As the replayobviouslyflickers over both of our faces. His chiseled, handsome jaw grinds, his eyes turning to crystal blue slits as his hand tightens around my neck and sends heat roaring through my core.
“You need to forget that, Callie.”
The words aren’t delicate, or gentle. They’re a slap in the face. Cold, brutal, and without remorse.
“That should not have happened. And itwon’tbe happening again.”
His hand drops from my throat and he turns away, pulling the heat from my skin and taking the air from my lungs with him.
“I don’t know what you want!” I snap.
Castle bristles, his broad, muscled shoulders tensing.
“First you want me to keep my distance! Then you want me close to you! Ooh, but nottooclose!”
“Callie…”
“You tell me there’s no touching or kissing,” I scream at his back. “And then you bruise my lips like you fucking own them and finger-fuck me until I come! I don’t think it’ssuperout of left field for me to ask you tomake up your fucking mind!” I yell. “Because I haveno fucking ideawhat you want—!”
I gasp, choking as he whirls like a tornado on me. His eyes storm with heat and danger, and I whimper as his hand wraps tightly around my throat, pinning me to the fridge as he dips his face to the hollow of my neck.
My heart pounds. My entire body tingles and prickles, like the charge crackling in the atmosphere before a thunderstorm breaks and shatters the sky.
“You want to know what the fuck I want?” he snarls right in my ear. My eyes roll back, my mouth goes slack, and my legs weaken.
“Fine, baby girl,” he hisses. “You want to push me, and push me, and fucking push me until I snap?Fine!”
I whimper as his teeth rake across the soft skin of my neck.
“Then let me clear up any confusion, Callie, and fuckingshow youwhat I want.”
My breath catches and a stab of something heated and twisted curls deep in my core when he nips at my earlobe.
“Get on your fucking knees and open your fucking mouth.”
