Grabbing her chin, I lean my forehead to hers. “Stop over thinking this, Sunshine. You want this as much as I do, you’re just scared.” Her breath is coming in pants, her eyes full of trepidation and fear. “I know I fucked up, baby. I never should’ve said the things I did. I was angry and confused, but I’m not anymore.” I rub my finger down her cheek. “You’re mine, Sky.”
She scoffs. “For how long Ethan? An hour? A night? As long as it takes to fuck the hate you have for me out of your system, and you feel better about being an asshole?” She drops her legs from around my hips. Her eyes locked on mine, full of fire and rage.
It’s sexy as hell.
Skyler scoffs, tilting her head she says, “So, because you’re suddenly over your temper tantrum I’m supposed to forgive you and fall into your bed? How many times do I have to tell you, I’m not a whore. I don’t want your scraps, Ethan.” She pushes at my chest. I move back, giving her some space, but not enough to run. “You can fuck right off with that shit.”
I laugh at her little rant. “You’re feistier now. I like it. Sass looks good on you, but it’s not going to change a thing. You’re mine. You’ve always been mine, and it’s time you accepted it.”
“Fuck you.”
“That’s the idea, Sunshine.” I lean in nipping the sensitive spot below her ear and whisper. “We both know how good it will feel when I fuck you into oblivion. Your head will catch up to your body soon enough. You need to let that shit go and feel me.Feel us.You’ll remember how good we were together. Like the night at the Pearl. It’s inevitable, baby. You know it’s true.”
I pull back, studying her face as she studies mine. Her mouth agape. So many emotions swirling around in those violet orbs. She knows I know one of her secrets. My sweet little Sunshine is also my redheaded vixen, Scarlet.
She’s struggling to accept my words. Hell, I should probably be afraid of my own declarations, but somehow, I know I’m right.We’re right.
Skyler lets out a long sigh, dropping her head in her hands. “How did you...?”
I shrug. “It took me a minute, but I figured it out. But see, we already fucked once, and it was fucking incredible. You know it was. The pull between us, I know you felt it. It’s why I’m the only one you’ve ever given a private dance to. Because you know we’re good together.”
She huffs. “It was a mistake. I only did it because I wanted to fuck you out ofmysystem.”
I bark out a laugh. “Well, too bad for you, it didn’t work!” She doesn’t laugh only glares at me.
“I need to pee. Can you move please?” I drop my arm and point her toward the bathroom. I keep my body against the door as she moves away. I have no doubt in my mind she’d bolt if I moved.
She takes her time. I move to the bathroom door and listen as she slams the toilet seat and then the cabinets. She grumbles something to herself as she turns the water on in the sink. When she opens the door and sees me standing in front of her, she jumps.
“Stalker much?”
“Not stalking, making sure you’re okay.”
“I can pee on my own, thanks.”
I grab her wrist meaning to pull her into me, but she surprises me by pulling it back out of my grip and striking me in the chin with the base of her palm. It’s not a hard strike, just a warning, but it sparks something inside me.
“Fuck, Sky! You need to stop doing that shit.” I stumble back a step caught off guard. She moves around me heading for the door. I wrap my arm around her waist and lift. My intention is to throw her on the bed, but she squirms too much causing us to tumble to the floor beside it. I land first, rolling us to take most of the brunt of the landing.
Skyler twists her torso and starts swinging at my head. I wrap my legs around hers, in a closed guard position, grabbing for her arms to stop her onslaught. She moves to free her legs, trying to push to stand, but I see what she’s trying to do and switch tactics.
Both my arms lock around her thighs pulling her back down to straddle me. One arm up her back the other under her head, I roll us over so I’m now on top of her. Skyler pushes off my chest with her hands, letting her legs drop, wriggling her body loose enough to roll onto her stomach.
Wrong move Sweetheart.
I drop my body down on hers, pinning her with the weight of mine, sweeping her arms out and pinning both her hands to her sides. Leaning into her ear, I growl, “You can fight me all you want, baby. In fact, I kind of like it. But we both know how this will end. With you naked, pinned underneath me writhing in pleasure and screaming my name.”
Skyler drops her head to the floor.
“Please.” It’s a whispered plea. For what, I’m not sure. Does she want me to let her up, let her go? Leave her alone?
No. To all the above.
We’re both panting. I lay a kiss on her cheek. She closes her eyes as a single tear slips loose.
Shit.
“I’m going to let you up now. We’re going to sit on the bed and talk this shit out. No more trying to kick my ass or I swear to God, I will tie you to this bed and fuck you into submission. Don’t test me, baby.” She whimpers again. I don’t try to hide my smugness at the sound. I know she likes the idea of me tying her ass down and having my wicked way with her.
