Excerpt:
βIt reminded me of you.β He shook his head. βItβs just from the museum gift shop. I wanted to give you something for putting up with me. I hope you like it.β
βThank you.β She took the little box and sat on her battered sofa. βPlease, take a seat.β
He sat next to her, but kept to the edge, confirming there was nothing relaxed about this visit.
After slipping the green ribbon from the box, she pulled off the lid and pushed back the tissue paper, revealing the item sheβd so long desired. Her heart raced and she scooted closer to him. He had no idea what heβd done. Her secret crush giving her the piece of jewelry sheβd long desired was incredibly perfect. Neither were really her style and she wanted them all the same. She looked at him with heavy tears stinging her eyes. Brushing the box from her lap, she slipped the bracelet onto her wrist.
βThank you.β
βYouβre welcome. Iβve enjoyed our time together.β He brushed away the tear that had rolled down her cheek and cupped her chin.
βDonβt say that like itβs over.β She took a hold of his wrist and pulled it into her lap. βItβs not, right?β Panic raced over her. If he wanted to leave, she wouldnβt stop him, but her whole body hurt with wanting him to stay.
βIβm no good for you, Nadia.β He took hold of her hands. βYou deserve a nice man with an uncomplicated life. I canβt give you what you need.β
βThatβs not true.β She put her fingers to his lips. βDonβt.β
He took a hold of her shirt, not pulling her closer, just squeezing the fabric in his fist.
βI donβt know whatβs going on with you.β She brought her touch back to his hands, trying to ease the pressure. βI just know the only time I feel alive is when Iβm with you. Youβre on my mind constantly.β She lowered her gaze, losing her courage by the second. βThereβs something between us and I want to explore it. I want to know what drives you insane with need. Donβt you want me too?β
βShit, Nadia, I havenβt stopped thinking about you since the first day at the windows.β He let her go and pulled out of her reach to slip around to the other side of the couch with his back to her. βI want things from you that Iβm certain would frighten you.β
βI doubt that.β Knowing she had to make her move now or risk losing him forever, she pulled her shirt over her head and tugged off her sweatpants, tossing them both on the chair. βDo you remember the questions I asked about you before we met?β
βYouβre playing with fire.β
βNo, Iβm not into fire play, but I have a feeling you know what I need.β
βWhat β¦β He turned, his gaze swept over her body and he brushed his hand over his mouth. βYou take my breath away.β He stepped toward her, adjusting the bulge in his pants. βYou think you want to play?β
βI do.β She sucked on her lip, wishing sheβd worn her one set of matching bra and panties.
βFuck, I want thisβ He brushed her skin ever so slightly up her arms, across her chest, and down between her breasts. βIβve had dreams about this moment.β He raised her chin, forcing her to look at him. He dragged his fingers through her hair and tugged the length of it back. βI want you at my mercy. Do you have any idea what itβs like to give someone like me control?β
βYes, sir.β She arched her back, revealing her neck. He kept pulling and tingles of pain danced along her scalp. βPlease.β
βAre you already asking for mercy?β He tugged her hair again βI donβt think you know what youβre starting.β
βI donβt want you to stop. I want more, sir.β Her breasts pushed against his chest and her grip on his arms tightened. βI want to know.β
