He grinned then, “I know how to do everything like that. I've been doing it to women for years. To women like you. Women who thought they were better than me, or too good for me. Ones who won’t give me the time of day. But you? You went too far. Blocking me at every turn, having your brothers try to find me. Try to ruin me. Well, sucks to be them doesn’t it? I found you first. I knew where you were and have been waiting for you.”
He reached out and touched her face, making her jerk to get away from him and making him laugh.
He touched her face and turned it roughly, “I am not happy that you have been out with that Deputy. I heard you with him in his office. He touched what was mine and mine alone! But don’t worry, I will wipe him from your mind soon enough.”
He leaned forward and licked her cheek and then down her neck, trying to kiss her skin where he could and making her squirm to get away.
“Stop it! Please! I don’t want this. You can’t do this! Stop it!”
He stopped when he got to the spot Trace had bit and sucked on her neck and stood up, his lip curled up in a sneer.
“He marked you? You let him mark you?”
She glared up at him, breathing hard. “Trace is the love of my life. I let him do anything he wants to me. I am only his.”
He cursed and walked from the room, slamming the back door behind him and making her fall back to the bed in relief.
She knew it was going to be short lived, but if he didn’t touch her again, that was all that mattered.
