Page 29 of Boyfriend From Hell
He reached toward my face, his warm palm cradling my cheek as he began to stroke it softly. Similarly to Mal’s touch, the rigid feeling of unease began to melt away.
“You will never see anything like that again, I can promise you that, Deer. I’m sorry, I know that scared you, but you asked me to prove it. That place you just saw was the Hall of the Damned––no place that will ever concern you, nor will ever hurt you.”
His warmth radiated through my cheek and flowed down the rest of my body, leaving me calm... The way he looked at me, with such concern and protectiveness as he spoke, made me feel like Icouldtrust him.
“Okay,” I whispered again. “You can’t be worse than any other guys I’ve dated—or I mean, I guess have beenon dates with.”
“That’s my girl.” He gave me a small smile. “It’s not like you had a choice in the matter either way. That deal you made with the star bound you to me regardless,” he said playfully.
I couldn’t help but laugh. Great—so apparentlywishing upon a starhad always been code formaking a deal with the devil. And now? Turns out he has some bizarre, ultra-calming touch. Oh, and he can read my mind. Can’t forget that part.
“I can do a lot more than just calm you by touch.” He smirked.
I rolled my eyes. This whole alleged mind reading thing was going to get old fast.
So now what? I have a boyfriend from hell?
“So, little nightmare—I know that needy little cunt of yours heard my question earlier.”
He leaned toward me ever so slightly, placing his hand over mine and guiding it up his thigh slowly.
His filthy words had shocked me before, but hearing them this time stirred something within me. God, this guy could really go from zero to one hundred just like that.
“No God involved here, but you can worship me like one, sweet one.” He winked.
I swallowed, feeling the chords of muscle under the thin velvet that covered his thigh. I wasn’t sure what to even say. No one has ever talked dirty to me like that, at least not in person. Sure, Felix and I sexted before, very early on in our relationship, but he never said anything even remotely like this face to face.
The corner of his mouth quirked up as he leaned further into me, hand still sliding mine up his thigh.
“Thinking of that feeble man now?” His face was inches from mine, so close I could taste the scent of smoke that seemed to hang around him.
I don’t want to fuck him—I don’t think? I mean, I think I did just say I’d date him, but fuck him? What are devil dicks even like? Does that even matter in the sense of cock?He’s not—not thesexiest man I’ve ever seen but, I haven’t had sex since Felix—and the last time we did that was well over a year ago. Plus, he can’t expect me to open my legs up for him just like that! Who does he think I am?I shook the thoughts from my head, suddenly feeling guilty and overwhelmed.
“Calm yourself, little nightmare.”
Raios’ free hand found my chin and I leaned into the touch, seeking the comfort I knew it could give me. In my movement, I hadn’t realized the hand I’d had on his thigh had also moved–and was now resting on the edge of his cock.
I could feel that he was hard—and, from what I could tell,big. Instinctively, I slid my hand further up, curious, and gripped him through his pants. A conflicting pulse throbbed between my legs. “Your thoughts are loud, almost insufferably so. So conflicted. —” He brushed his thumb along my bottom lip. “I know that you ache to feel my cock inside you.”
Damn him and his mind reading. He pulled my face to his until we were so close our breath intertwined.
“Does it bother you that not only can I speak to your mind, but I can also hear all those pretty little thoughts rolling around in there?” Each word caused his lips to brush against mine.
It didn’t bother me so much as it was annoying, knowing every thought I had was on display for the man before me. So much for my previous plan, looks like I was going to have to come to terms with this new reality of mine and just succumb to it. Because I surely wasn’t going to give myself up to just being trapped here. Wait, so this meant hewasable to read my thoughts from the very beginning. That was more embarrassing than anything else!
He moved my hand slowly so that I was now fully stroking him through his pants, a breathy moan escaped his lips. The sound shot a shiver of electricity through me, knowing that such a small guided touch could make someone—something—like him unravel. I rotated my hips forward, pressing my center into the hard wood of the chair. Suddenly desperate for any sort of friction.
“Needy thing you are.” He brushed his lips against mine.
Thoughts and worries of Felix faded away, maybe moving on wouldn’t be so bad. The gremlin part of my brain piped up––maybe it would make him jealous? But, if I’m stuck down here, would he even know?
Raios growled and pulled away, leaving my mouth cold in his wake.
I stared at him in confusion as he released his hold on me and pushed his chair back leaving me to sit there in sudden embarrassment.
“What is with you and that piss ant of a man?” He growled. “Your thoughts haveperseveratedover that useless waste of breath ever since you moved into that dreadful little apartment building.”
I shot him a dirty look and scoffed. His face twisted into a look I was all too familiar with. He couldn’t be serious—was he jealous?
