“We’ll probably have to add more hot water. It’s been waiting for you for a while.”
There was the Harker she knew, pushing his agenda. “I'll just take a shower.”
“I don't think you understand how this works tonight.” He grabbed her hand.
“What are you talking about?”
“I've been letting you run things, but that stops now.” His fingers skimmed over her hand, making desire flicker through her body.
“You’re right. It all stops tonight because I don't want you anymore.” She pulled away from him before her body could betray her lie.
“Really?” He stepped closer to her. “You’re telling me that you don't want me? Not at all?”
“No. I don't.” She only half-lied. This know-it-all, pushy jerk was the Harker she hated…but she couldn’t stay away from him.
“Your mind might not but your body does.” He brushed his knuckles over her breast. “Your nipples are already hard for me. Don’t you want me to kiss them? Suck them? Remember how it feels. They’re so sensitive now.” He ran his finger over her nipple. “And I can see your pulse beating faster right here.” He leaned forward, his hot breath teasing the spot at the bottom of her throat.
She braced herself, trying to stay strong as his lips touched her skin in a soft, undemanding caress. His tongue flicked along her pulse point, and she sighed as her traitorous body leaned into him.
He lifted his head, his eyes dark as he smiled at her. “Tonight, your body belongs to me.”
She should argue, but for once no words came out of her mouth. He waited, watching her. She knew what he wanted. It was what he always wanted, but right now, consent was the hardest thing for her to give. She should refuse him and stay with her plan. She should go to her room and pull out her vibrator but instead she said, “Tonight only.” She’d be strong tomorrow.
His smile faded but he nodded. “Come.” He took her hand. “We’ll discuss tomorrow later.”
“There’s no reason to discuss anything tomorrow. This is only for tonight. I mean it, Harker.” She had to mean it.
“We’ll talk about it tomorrow,” he repeated, a hint of anger in his tone. He led her past his bedroom to the bathroom near her room.
“Why aren’t we using your bathroom?” It was nicer than the one by her room.
“Don’t question. Just obey.”
This was typical asshole Harker but for some stupid reason her body practically overheated when he acted like this. “I can’t wait until my hormones straighten out,” she mumbled.
“And I hope that day never comes.”
CHAPTER 24: Harker
Harker walked to the tub and stuck his hand into the water. “Warm at best.” He glanced at Alison. “If you would’ve been on time, it would’ve been ready for you.”
She made a face at him as she began to unbutton her blouse.
“Stop.”
Her fingers froze.
“Did I tell you to get undressed?” Her body obeyed him like a good sub, but that mind of hers was a challenge and he loved it.
“No.” She undid the button. “But I’m going to take a bath and I’m not doing that in my clothes.”
He shook his head and grabbed her wrist, stopping her from unfastening any more buttons. “Tonight, you’ll do what I tell you to do. Nothing more. Nothing less.”
“I didn’t agree to that.”
“Yes, you did.” He hated betting on things that he wasn’t sure of, but he had to do it. He had to make her understand that she wanted this. That she wanted him. He stepped closer to her and lifted her hand, kissing her wrist. The fast beat of her pulse under his lips assured him that this risk was minimal. He leaned in and whispered in her ear, “But if you’ve changed your mind, then leave.” He let go of her hand, his breath freezing in his chest as he waited for her answer.
“You’re lucky I want to take a bath.”
