“I’m smart enough to not let everyone see my rage like you do. When I want to scream and throw shit around, I smile and take a deep breath,unlike you.”
“You’re an asshole who’s so used to getting what he wants, he has no patience when anyone refuses him anything. I don’t want to be your girlfriend. You bring me pleasure, and I do the same. What more do you fucking want from me?”
He takes a threatening step toward me, the thread the doctor was using to stitch him hanging by his wound, the needle still attached and dangling by his upper arm.
“I might be impatient, but I know what I’m doing when it comes to the things I want. And guess, Jade, just take a wild fucking guess at something—or someone—I’ve been wanting for so long it could drive a meditation guru insane withimpatience.”
My lack of an answer brings him closer to me.
“I don’t need to spell it out for you, do I?” His hand is surprisingly soft when he cups my jaw.
“You’re the one who always said we were just having fun back then. That it was just sex.”
“I was trying to take it slow. I didn’t want to scare you away when you’d just broken up with my brother. How’s that for patience? But then”—his sarcastic chuckle makes me tremble—“then you saw a better opportunity in Sawyer.We can’t see each other anymore, Elliot. I’m with Sawyer now. It’s serious.”
He lets go of my jaw to run his hand across his face. “Fucking Sawyer?”
“I—”
“Fucking. Sawyer.”While his voice stays calm, everything that was on the metal table is swept out of the way with a violent movement from him.
He turns back to me, pointing an accusing finger. “And then you ran away. So I waited. I found you. I brought you back. I made you mine. And now there’s something again. Always something. Now,” he growls, grabbing the back of my head, wrapping my ponytail around his fist, and pulling so I look up at him. “Now you can’t give me your heart?”
When he pulls harder, I whimper. “So my question is legitimate, Jade. Is it because of Ethan? Tell me. What do I have to do for you to belong to meentirely?”
“You’re scaring me,” I admit in a trembling voice.
“Yeah? Don’t you think I got scared as shit when I started to realize the effect you had on me? When I realized I wanted to kill my motherfucking boss because you chose him over me?” He snorts. “Fucking Sawyer.”
“Everyone needs to leave me the fuck alone with that guy.” There it is. The comfort of fury brewing in my veins. Better that than being terrified of Elliot, isn’t it?
“Why?” he snarls. “Because you fucked up? Wrong choice of guy to go up the ranks?”
I try to shrug him off, but he pulls my hair harder.
And when I try to slap him, he grabs my wrist. “Because you miss him, baby?”
“Fuck you,” I grunt. “Let go!” Who has that much strength after being shot?
“Ah, there she is. My furious little love.” I try to pull my arm back, getting off the dresser this time, and when I can’t get myself free of him, I attempt to headbutt him. I scream from frustration when I miss. He’s too fucking tall.
“Let me go!”
“I could fuck you right here, right now.” He whips me around, forcing me to bend over the dresser.
“Stop.”
“You’ll let him watch, right, baby? Just like the perfect whore you are.”
He pulls my skirt up, rips the fishnets, and pushes my panties to the side.
“Elliot,” I panic.
“We have a deal, Jade. Now fucking take it. Little slut like you who went through the whole town, you would let anyone—”
“He was blackmailing me!” I shout at the top of my lungs.
He stops.
