But I’ve gotten her to reveal what she did in the bathroom. And it’s time to stop playing dumb.

“It seems to me I’ve discovered two interesting things about you tonight, Isabella.” I straighten. “You’re a terrible liar. And you’re great at sucking cock.”

ISABELLA

He lets the statement land, and it takes me way too long to put the pieces together.

Embarrassment hits me first. “What the fuck? That was you?” Embarrassment and something like lust mingle together inside of me the longer I stare at Ricardo, looking cocky as hell while he stands in front of me.

He’s got his hands in his pockets, his head cocked to the side, and his expression dark as he stares at me beneath those long black lashes.

He shows no hint that he actually enjoyed the glory hole experiment. And I’m not sure if I’m actually relieved or not to find out his cock had been the one in my mouth.

Not a stranger.

Not a risk once the actual reality of the situation sets in.

A curious melting sensation pools in my low abdomen, and my pussy clenches. I finally got to taste Ricardo, and I’d greedily swallowed him down. I’d imagined it for so long. Just…

I lurch away from the bed and slam my palms into his chest. The surprise move knocks him back a step, but he quickly regains his balance.

“You are such a son of a bitch!” I yell, pointing a finger at his face. “You knew what happened in the bathroom the entire time, and you’ve been taunting me like a cat with a fucking mouse.”

He lets me push him a second time, a third time, slapping my palms against his immovable chest. For all the good it does me. He’s gone rigid, absolutely still, his legs out and his knees locked.

Until I go to slap him. I manage to land a single strike across his cheek before his eyes darken, and he grabs me by the wrists, forcing me back until my knees hit the bed, and I drop down. He uses my own momentum against me and follows me down, shoving me across the mattress and pinning me down.

“If you want to hurt a man, then you better be ready to follow through because a bitch slap like that is only going to piss people off.” He keeps his grip hard but not punishing. The fire in his eyes refuses to die down, and he blinks, those dark lashes fanning his golden brown cheeks for a split second.

“You lied to me,” I grind out.

“Let’s call it a draw on that count, Isabella. You went out tonight looking for action, and you got it.” He sneers. “Was it everything you thought it would be?” He jerks his hips against me, and I’m suddenly intimately aware of the way my legs have fallen on either side of his hips. My skirt rising up gives him unhindered access to any part of me he wants.

He knows it, too.

He’s known it long before I made the realization, however. Ricardo purposely maneuvered us into this position where I might buck and squirm beneath him, but I’m not going anywhere. He’s got me caged beneath him.

My breath catches, and his nearness, his cologne, makes breathing difficult. Awareness hardens my nipples.

“You like to get yourself into trouble.” He drops his voice low, and it skitters along my skin into every nook and secret cranny. “Now you’re trying to act like you’re not bothered when the trouble looks back at you.”

“Threaten me if you want,” I say.

“It’s not a threat if I plan on following through. It’s the first thing you need to know in our business, Isabella. You see your tasks through to completion.”

He lingers on the last word and conjures up all manner of dark delights.

I struggle to clear my head. “Oh, so you think you’re going to teach me a lesson.”

“You need to be taught.” He thrusts my arms above my head, holding them in one of his hands and bracing with the other.

Why do I want this man so badly? I arch up against him, breasts tight. Why do I feel like I come out of my skin anytime I’m around him? Even when he’s berating me, playing me for the fool.

It doesn’t matter that he’s absolutely right.

Ricardo continues with, “I wish you would think things through before you run off and do whatever you goddamn please.” His attention drops to my lips.
