This…us…needed to end.
Right now.
We had no future. My sassy little fighter, born into the wrong family, was still innocent.
Too innocent for someone like me.
CHAPTERTHIRTY-TWO
As we arrived at the nightclub, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. My nostrils flared, and I had to force my eyes shut for a moment.
The way she smelled, standing next to me, drove me insane. The scent of crushed pine needles—probably from the shower gel she found in my bathroom—enhanced her own delicious scent. It should be manly, but on Sophie, the heady mixture underscored her femininity. As did my mother’s dress, which clung to her like a second skin.
She looked stunning—a clump of heat inside of me coiled like a wild animal made of fire, ready to rip anyone to pieces who dared to look at her.
The silk of the dress was cool to the touch, and my grip around her waist got tighter and tighter as we passed the line leading into the club.
She looked up at me—her face tight—but immediately looked away again—before I could mask the storm in my eyes, before I could give her a reassuring half-smile.
“Just stay close to me, and nothing will happen.”
She straightened.
Should’ve known showing my protectiveness would wake her inner warrior. Or was it defiance?
Suddenly, she no longer looked young or innocent. She looked like a femme fatale.
Like a queen of the night.
Kicking butts and taking names.
With one unbelievably sexy move of her head, she threw her hair back, which caught and glimmered under the dim lights of the entrance.
This was wrong. I should’ve insisted on her not coming with us.
That dress was not the right choice, and a myriad of things could go wrong with her in this kick-ass mood.
I wanted her all to myself, wanted her on her knees, sucking my dick, her watery eyes locked with mine.
My palms began to sweat, and my mouth grew dry as I felt the urge to claim her eclipse my better judgment.
I leaned close, struggling with myself not to sweep her up and carry her back to the car.
Back to my bed.
I tried to quell my yearning, knowing that by tomorrow, I had to let her go.
But every fiber of my being wanted her.
“If you do something stupid, there will be consequences to pay,” I growled in her ear.
Her sharp intake of breath sent a zing through my body.
She turned her head, her eyes danced full of mischief.
Fuck me.
I unleashed a monster. Or might’ve found my match in her.
