Lose-your-mind kind of dangerous.
“Did you, or did you not, put this note on my car, Elliot?” Her attempts at pinning me with a stare loses its strength when she has to strain her neck to look me in the eye.
“I didn’t, Jade.” I could yawn. Her games are getting old.
“What?” She falls flat on her feet again. “Then…who did?”
“Pretty sure you’re the one who wrote it. Your games aren’t that fun. No one feels any pity toward you. At least not the kind that would make us care. It’s more like a someone-should-put-this-dog-down sort of pity.”
She ignores my jab, paling. “Someone wants me dead.”
She’s pissing me off, and I get horny when I’m pissed off. Or when I’m happy, tired. I get horny when Jade is in the vicinity, period. It’s exhausting.
“Many people want you dead, baby. None who would put a fucking note on your car, though, so drop the act.”
Her face falls, and a rush of air leaves her as she takes a step back. “You don’t believe me.”
“I would have to be an idiot to believe a liar like you.” I smirk at her, twisting the knife. This is fun. “A traitor.”
I notice every single movement her body makes. Her nostrils flaring, her eyes narrowing, the daggers sharp. It’s always been a fascination of mine to watch Jadeexist. Her jaw tightens and twists from side to side. Her hand goes to the pocket of the hoodie she took from me. It’s too big, falling just above her knees.
She shoves me with her shoulder as she walks past me. Except she has nowhere to go. That’s her problem, isn’t it? So when she strides tomybedroom and slamsmydoor, I’m right after her.
She’s facing the far wall, her hands in her hair, grabbing the roots.
“Lose the attitude,” I threaten low.
She swings around, furious. When is this woman not furious? She was born like this. “Fuck you!”
Two steps for me. One step backward from her.
“You don’t believe me,” she repeats, a desperate rasp breaking her voice. “Of course you don’t.”
“When have you ever proven you should be believed?”
“Why do Ialwayshave to prove things? Why am I the one who has to show I was wronged, when I call out for help?”
“What a fucking drama queen,” I huff. “You’re a lying little bitch who plays everyone. As long as you get out on top, you don’t care who you betray.That’swhy.”
“Shut up!” she screams. “I’m not a liar!”
I take another step. “Someone needs to show you screaming and hurling insults like a crazy little thing isn’t how you should behave.”
“Don’t come anywhere near me. I swear to God, Elliot, I willfuck. You. Up.”
It’s not even the words that make me grab her, flip her around, and slam her against the wall. It’s the certainty in her eyes that she’s capable of making me do anything.
She grunts when her cheek hits the wall. It’s her left one, where she already bears the bruises from Kay. I grab her wrists, pressing them against her lower back with one hand.
“Behave.”
My voice leaves her no choice, yet she still pushes back against me. I wrap a hand around her jaw, grabbing her cheeks and making her pout as I pull her head toward me. The angle is uncomfortable for her, and she winces when my fingers press against her bruised cheek.
“Behave, Jade.”
She only struggles for a few more seconds before giving up entirely. “Let me go,” she tries to say through her pouted lips. It’s a dejected whisper.
I push my hips into her back and watch her shiver. “Baby, you know it turns me on when you finally bend to my will.”
