“Alex is onto something.He’s returning to Vegas to get something more.We could be backhome before we know it.”
Slamming her fork back on the table,she glared at Killer.
“Anything wrong?”heasked.
Growling in frustration, she stood up,chucked her food away and stomped away from him.She entered thesitting room staring at the pillow she’d been attacking earlier.Even though she felt like a child, she started hitting out, wishingit was something harder for her to break apart.
“What the hell is going onwith you?”Killer asked, grabbing her around the arms, trappingthem by her side.
Fighting him, Kelsey tried to break freeof his hold.Stamping on his foot didn’t achieve anything at all,and trying to sink her nails into his arms didn’t helpeither.
“Stop!”He shouted the word.Wriggling in his arms, she finally stopped fighting and slumped.Only his hold on her kept her on her feet.
The moment he released her, shespun and slapped him around the face.Raising her palm she went tohit him again, but he caught her wrist.
“Enough!”
“No, why did you bring mehere?Why?”
He frowned.“What the fuck are youtalking about?”he asked.
Her handprint stood out on his cheek.Shegot little satisfaction at the mark she’d given him.“You couldhave sent any of your men or even a fucking prospect to superviseme, so why did you have to come?”
“You’re not making anysense at all.”He placed a hand to her hand.Batting his touch awayshe glared at him.“Have you had too much sun today?”
“No, I’ve not had any sun.I’mjust thinking clearly for the first time in weeks.God, I actuallythought youwantedme.I was so fucking wrong it’s not even funny anymore.Theclothes, the movies, nothing is doing it for you, is it?”Hercheeks were on fire at her wicked thoughts.
Killer paused, staring at her and thenpast her shoulder.“I actually don’t have a clue what you’retalking about.”
“God, I’m talking about sex.Whyare you here when you clearly don’t want to be with me?”She wasshouting the words.Her hands flew all over the place inexasperation.
Silence fell between them at heradmission.
Killer’s answer was tolaugh.
Seriously, he was laughing ather.
Hitting his chest, she slapped himhard hoping to shut him up.
Once again he caught her to him, stoppingher from lashing out and hurting him everywhere.The way thebastard was treating her, he deserved a little pain.None of heremotions made any sense to her.She wanted Killer, and yet he kepther at arms’ length.Was she wrong to want him?
The laughter died as the first tearfell from her eyes.
Glaring at him she waited for more ofhis laughter.“Do you really think I don’t want you?”heasked.
“You’ve not even tried tobe with me.Why should I believe anything else?”she asked,tensing.
He cupped her cheek, tilting her head backto look into her eyes.“You really don’t have a clue, doyou?”
She remained silent hoping he’d puther mind at ease.
Killer shook his head.
“All of your education and adegree to your name, and you don’t have a clue.”
“If you’re going to keepthrowing my lack of knowledge in my face, let me go.”
“No, I’m not letting you go atall.”He slammed his lips down on hers moving his hands down to cupher ass.She gasped as he thrust his pelvis against her stomach.His cock was rock hard, pressing against the front of his jeans.Fingers sank into her hair, fisting the strands.Suddenly, hetugged on the length pulling her away from him.“You’re going torealize something once and for all.”
