Page 59 of Broken Promises

“He’s done a lot for me since he came back. I think it’s safe to say he’s only got good intentions towards me.”

“He just wants to fuck you, Raven,” I said dryly, wondering why she was so naive. She knew Ander enough that his bullshit shouldn’t work on her.

“If he only wanted to fuck me, he’d be long gone by now,” she said without hesitation, my stomach twisting.

“What?”

“He’s obviously still here, which means he didn’t just want to fuck me,” she answered slowly, and for a second, I figured she was just trying to get to me by talking shit, but then she added, “Those piercings were like a gateway to heaven.”

“Bluebird, stop bragging. You’ll give me a complex,” Ander chuckled, and I hated when he reached out to toy with the ends of her hair that she let him. “You’re being a bitch.”

“You two are together?” I asked in disbelief, wondering what kind of fucked up nightmare I was in. He was the last person on earth I thought she’d let touch her.

Ander stayed quiet, letting Raven talk. “No. We were in a high speed chase and the adrenaline rush got to me. It was just a spontaneous thing.”

“You were in ahigh speed chase?” I asked sharply, standing and moving towards her. “You’re not hurt?”

“You know Ander’s a good driver. He got us home in one piece,” she said firmly, stepping back when I tried to reach for her. “You don’t get to control what I put in my pussy.”

I didn’t want her running from me again, so I shook my head. “I’m not trying to control you. I’m just surprised and a little jealous.”

“Look, if you two are going to have some weird back and forth foreplay and fuck, can you hurry it along?” Ander drawled with amusement, but Raven blinked at me with confusion.

“Jealous?” she finally asked.

“Yes. Just because you hate me right now, doesn’t mean my feelings changed for you. I’m a prick and have to earn back yourtrust, I know that, but I’m insanely jealous to know you’re curled up at night with someone who isn’t me,” I replied honestly, holding my breath until she rolled her eyes with a small smile.

“You really are a prick. I’m glad you noticed.”

“I promise, I’m working on it.”

She looked like she wanted to say something else about it, but then she blurted out, “Where’s the bathroom?”

“End of the hallway,” I answered, watching her dart off to definitely escape the conversation, and Ander let out a huff of laughter when he heard the door slam.

“She wants your dick, but she’s too stubborn to move past your little spat to ask for it.”

“Don’t talk about her like that,” I warned, making him shrug.

“Why not? It’s the truth. If you want her, you need to back her into a corner and make her forgive you.”

“That’s the opposite of what I should do. She needs space and groveling. I haven’t earned the right to?—”

“Go for it, be the good boy. While you’re groveling and giving her space, I’ll have her bent over my car and squirting all over the hood again. It was hot the first time, in case you were wondering,” he taunted, taking a step towards me and getting in my face. “If you want to know how to tame her, give her a rush and shove your tongue in her cunt. Pretty sure she’d forgive you for being an asshole after that. If she can get over her hatred for me, she can definitely forgive you.”

The thought of him fucking her on his car made me want to punch him. He’d just fucked her out in the open like that?

“What the fuck is wrong with you? Did you just pull over on the side of the road? Anyone could’ve seen you,” I bit out, giving him a light shove.

“Bro, you know I wouldn’t let anyone see her like that,” he answered with annoyance, crossing his arms. “It was in the garage with complete privacy.”

“I told you not to touch her.”

“And then I fucked her when I got home that night. What’s your point?” he asked bluntly, and if it wasn’t for the bathroom door opening down the hallway, I would’ve thrown a fist at him.

He didn’t force her, she obviously wanted it, so I had to bite my tongue to prove I wasn’t trying to control things like she’d accused me of.

She appeared in the doorway, glancing between us with suspicion, but Ander just gave her a bored look in return. “Are you ready to go? We still need to check the house out.”
