Page 5 of Tempt Me
“Eyes on me when I’m talking to you.”
Raising an eyebrow, that clear blue gaze lands on me again, but there is nothing there to tell me what he thinks about me. It’s a blank stare, all business: no heat, no desire, no nothing.
It pisses me off. I want him to be drooling, fawning, and falling over backward for me.
Shit.
Since when do I want that fromanyman? Only a few minutes ago, I thought the exact opposite of Antonio. Now faced with the man who is giving me the disinterest and rudeness that I usually find attractive, it’s driving me crazy in the space of a minute.
“I’m going to shower,” I state, pulling my loose dress over my head, revealing my naked body to him in all my glory.
Nothing.
He isn’t even looking at my tits, let alone my pussy.
“Ugh!” I spit out and turn to storm into the bathroom, leaving the door wide open as I step into the shower.
Turning the jets on and blasting myself with arctic water before it heats up, I hear him enter the bathroom.
He leans against the counter with his arm folded. “Eyes on you,” he murmurs.
“That’s right, asshole.”
“Asshole? You’ve come to that conclusion already?”
“You are an asshole.”
“Ouch.”
“Fuck off.” Shoving my head under the powerful stream of water, I drench my hair and reach for the shampoo. I didn’t need a shower because I only had one a few hours ago. But something is prickling under my skin about needing this guy to look at me. Yes, I’m trying to tempt him, even though I’m sure my father has laid down the law with regard to being off-limits and all that. Or has he, even? It’s common knowledge that sleeping with your bodyguard isverboten,so I have a sinking feeling it will take more than me parading around naked in front of him to break that code. He doesn’t seem the easy type. In fact, the exact opposite of easy. Stubborn and pig-headed might be more accurate.
Opening the shower door, dripping wet, I ask, “Will you wash my back?”
“What are you doing?”
The question catches me off guard. “Asking you to wash my back.”
“I don’t think that’s part of my duties.”
“You do what I tell you.”
My furious gaze meets his cool one, and I’m sunk. I’ve completely lost my mind over this guy, and it’s game over.
Slamming the door shut, I turn my back to him, only slightly humiliated, which is a new one for me. I don’t usually give a fuck. I put myself out there, and you take it or leave it, but I don’t want Isaac to leave it. I want him to take, take, take, and give, give, give, especially that rock-hard cock that I justknowwill be so huge it will split me in half.
“Rue.”
His calm, gravelly voice sends a shiver down my spine.
“I don’t know what game you’re playing here, but I’m here to watch you. If you insist I watch you shower because you feel vulnerable during this time, then fine. That’s what I’m here for. But don’t play games. Whatever it was that sparked between us in Grove City cannevergo any further. You know it, and I know it. Your parents are not people I go up against, not for anything.”
“So you did feel that spark?”
“Yes.”
“No one has to know.”
“Your parents know…everything.”
