Page 85 of Vow to Hate You

The rest of my retort was lost when his eyes snapped to mine, gleaming with heated warning.Oh shit. He wasn’t going to waste any time before repaying me for locking the cage on him.

“No, she’s fine,” Damian said, still talking to my sister. “I think she’s tired from the trip. I’ll make sure she calls you later.”

“You have no right to change my plans,” I ground out the second he hung up. “You got the key like you wanted—I don’t need to stay here.”

His gruff chuckle shot a thrill through me. “Talie. You knewdamnwell I wasn’t going to let you just leave. Making plans to try to get away from me isn’t going to help you today.”

CHAPTER 35

“Are you going to walk out of the bathroom or am I going to carry you?” Damian asked when I remained near the counter, clutching the towel still wrapped around my body. “Either way—you’re ending up naked in my bed.”

Pretending his words weren’t stirring heat in my lower stomach, I grinned wickedly, tilting my head. “Will we even make it to the bed? After being locked up for almost three days, I could probably touch you once, and you’d explode.”

Heated amusement danced in his eyes. “Come over here and test that.”

Surprise flitted across his face when I erased the distance between us, refusing to back down from his challenge. I’d been aware ever since I put the cage on that he wouldn’t let me get away with it. If I didn’t want the consequences, I never would have done it.

He snatched my wrist when I reached for his sweatpants, grabbing the top of my towel with his free hand. My heart thudded when he tore the fabric away, leaving me naked. His eyes raked over my body, and his jaw muscle flexed before he pulled me out of the bathroom, ignoring my protests.

“Damian,” I shrieked, half laughing, half screaming as we halted in front of the bed. “Wait—we haven’t had lunch yet. We should eat?—”

“I have every intention of eating.” He pushed me onto the mattress. “Spread those legs, baby. Show me my meal.”

My face flushed as he stared at me impatiently. His tongue had gotten me off three times on the yacht. He knew what he was doing, and I was positive he could tease me for hours that way. Instead of doing what he wanted, I jumped back to my feet, making him scowl.

“Are you sure you can handle it?” I purred, pressing my body against his, snaking my arm between us. “Maybe I should get you off first. So you’ll last more than thirty seconds when we fuck.”

My hand inched downward, and he didn’t stop me, his eyes never leaving mine. My hand brushed his sweatpants, confusion filling me when I realized what I was touching.

“Did the key not work?” I questioned, running my fingers along the bars of the cage still around his cock.

“I haven’t used it yet.”

“Why?” I choked out, shock engulfing me.

“Believe me, my self-control is nearing its end,” he grumbled, wrapping his arms around me, hoisting me in the air. “But I can last a little longer.”

“Last until what?”

He didn’t give me an answer as he tossed me back onto the bed. This time I landed on my stomach, and I watched him grab something from the nightstand before climbing on top of me, sitting on my ass to keep me in place. When he got ahold of one of my wrists, pulling it behind my back, I began struggling.

“What are you doing?” I asked when something soft but firm, tightened around my wrist.

“You think you’re the only one who can go shopping?” he replied smugly. “You should know better, Talie. Between my club and those books you love to tease me about, I think my knowledge on sex toys vastly outweighs yours.” He easily secured my other wrist despite my struggles. “And these leather cuffs are going to come in handy.”

I pulled against the restraints, quickly realizing I wasn’t going anywhere unless he unlocked them. He rolled off me, sitting next to me on the mattress before he grasped my hips, lifting me up. I squirmed in his hold, my bound arms throwing me off balance. He scooted down onto his back before pulling me on top of him until I was straddling his waist. His head was resting on two fluffy pillows, and he tilted his face up, meeting my gaze with a grin on his lips.

“What are we doing? You can’t do much with your dick still shackled,” I snarked, my pulse thudding rapidly as his fingers tightened on my hips.

“I’m giving you what you want.”

“What does that mean?”

“You wanted to ride me with this damn cage on, Talie.” His voice was rough, as if he was close to losing it. “This is your only chance to do it.”

My eyes rounded at his words. “You kept it on because of what I told you?”
