“I can’t fucking believe it,” she mutters to herself as she heads toward the stairs. “Maybe if he had some damn balls.”
My gaze snaps to her when I hear those words. The glass in my hand protests how hard I am gripping it before it shatters. I watch that perfect ass sway in her skinny jeans as she climbs the stairs clearly still talking to herself. It’s only seconds before my feet are moving after her, pounding up the stairs.
Pushing her up against her bedroom door, I cage her in from behind. I’m so much taller than she is that I have to bend down to growl in her ear.
“You’re playing a dangerous game, Irene.”
Chapter Fourteen
One-Night Standards
Irene
You would think that after what I’ve been through, I would be terrified when Beast pushes me against my room door, pinning me there. That it would trigger some kind of PTSD in me, making me panic or the very least cringe and pull away from him. But that’s not what happens when he growls in my ear. No, a full-body shiver makes its way through me.
“A game?” I ask. “No, Beast. That’syourdepartment.”
“Woman.” His growl is low and rumbly.
It fries every circuit in my brain and all I can think of is hearing him whisper dirty things to me in the dark.
I’m caged in by him, but he’s still giving me enough room to move around. I turn and stare up at him. I watch him closely waiting to see what he will do but he doesn’t move.
“What do you want from me?” he asks.
“Someone I can trust.”
“What does that mean?” A frown creases his forehead. “Don’t you trust the rest of the guys?” The thought seems to bother him.
“I trust them just fine,” I say while running my finger over his frown hoping to ease it. “But this is something different.”
“Different how?”
Opening the door behind me I step inside. “I need someone that can keep their mouth shut and walk away afterward.” I know this is going to be a mistake. I told myself I would stay away from him, but I can’t seem to stop myself. “I need someone I can trust with my body.”
Beast stares at me as I make my way into the room. I may be nervous, but I won’t let him see it. He looks conflicted and I worry that he may not take me up on my offer, but a moment later he steps into the room and closes the door behind him.
“You want a one-night stand?” He prowls closer to me. “Is there an itch you want me to scratch?”
“One night only.” I lean in closer to him when he stops just out of reach. “We could help each other out.”
“No feelings?” He leans in, his lips almost touching mine.
“No attachments,” I agree.
“And you’re sober?” He quirks an eyebrow at me.
“I haven’t had a drink in almost two hours.”
It must be the answer he was looking for because his lips slam into mine as he pulls me against his chest. His lips are soft but firm, his kiss intoxicating. A sound rumbles from deep in his chest making my knees weak as a gasp escapes me. His tongue sweeps into my mouth, and I’m instantly lost in him.
I have wanted this for as long as I’ve been here. The reality of Beast far outweighs the fantasy. His hands mold to my hips pulling me even closer to him. He has me bent backward at an angle as he ravages me, having to lean forward to kiss me. I find myself lifted into the air and wrap my legs around his hips, finally at the same level as him. His lips leave my mouth as he runs them down the column of my throat.
“Fuck, you smell good,” his low voice rumbles out as he inhales deeply.
“Less talking,” I complain.
His body vibrates with laughter as he seals his lips to mine again. Gripping the back of his head I try to get closer to him. Knowing this will be nothing more than a one-time occurrence, you best believe I’ll be making the most of it. I want to remember every moment of this night.
