Fuck. It’s enough to undo me.

"Say it," I murmur, my voice rough.

Her body goes tense, and I know that she knowsexactlywhat I mean.

She shakes her head, her nails digging into the fabric of my hoodie.

"No."

I smirk, dragging my lips along her jaw.

"Say. It."

Her whole body is trembling now, every breath uneven, every muscle locked with restraint. But she still won’t give me the satisfaction.

So I make her.

I shift my leg slightly, pressing against her exactly where Iknowshe needs it.

She exhales sharply, her head falling back against the lockers.

"I -"

I nudge her again, slow, torturous, and her body betrays her completely, rolling against me on instinct.

"Dio, you’re so stubborn," I murmur against her lips.

She squeezes her eyes shut, exhaling shakily.

"I hate you," she whispers.

The words barely leave her mouth before my patience snaps, and I fist a hand in her hair, tugging her head back, forcing her to look me in the eyes.

"Don’t fucking lie to me," I growl.

Then I kiss her again, punishing and deep, provingexactlyhow much of a liar she is.

My fingers thread into her hair, keeping her where I want her as I claim her mouth again and again, swallowing every sound she makes.

She presses against me harder, her breath coming in frantic little gasps, her body moving with mine in a way that has my cock throbbing with need.

"Still hate me?" I murmur against her lips, smirking when shedoesn’t answer.

She can’t. Her body says it all.

She’s practically riding my thigh now, chasing the friction, arching into me like she needs more.

I drag my lips down the line of her jaw, then lower, nipping at her throat. She shudders.

"Say it again," I taunt, pressing a slow, open-mouthed kiss to her pulse. "Tell me how much you hate me. Hatethis."

She doesn’t. Shewon’t.

But I already fucking know.

I watch her through hooded eyes, drinking in the way she trembles beneath my hands, the way she clings to me like I’m the only thing keeping her upright.

I grip her thighs, shifting her further up my leg, and she gasps as I roll my own hips against her.
