“I don’t want to talk. I have nothing to say to you, and I don’t want tohear any bullshit excuses that come from your mouth,” I replied, letting him hear the spite in my tone.
“That’s just as well, baby, I don’t want to talk either. You owe mesomething.”
That made me pause.
“What the hell do I owe you?” I snapped.
His lips curved into a wicked grin. “Remember the deal we made allthose months ago when we were at the warehouse with Blaze?”
My heart leaped into my throat.
“Wh-What?” My voice shook, and even though I knew what hewas talking about, I opted to play dumb.
“Come on, wife, you remember. We made a deal. I wouldn’t kill Blazein exchange for one night to do whatever I wanted to your tight little body.”
Oh, holy shit.
“You’re joking?” I said, propping my hands on my hips, trying toignore all the filthy images that suddenly burst to life in my head.
“Does it look like I’m joking?” He took another step forward promptingme to drop my hands and take another step back, and fuck me, did my pussy start throbbing.
“But you did kill her!” I shrieked, throwing my hands in the air, andtrying to ignore my body’s reaction to my husband.
“Not then I didn’t. Not when we made the deal. I held my end, nowyou are going to uphold yours.” The wicked smile on his lips grew wider as a devious glint appeared in his eye. Kai always prided himself on being a man of his word, now he was testing to see if I would be a woman ofmyword.
And hell, did I want to be. Pride and stubbornness stopped me fromwanting to go back on the deal I’d stupidly agreed to, even if the circumstances had changed significantly since the time we’d made it. But that didn’t mean I was just going to roll over and take it.
Literally.
“And if I say no?”
“You can say no all you like, it’s still going to happen,” he threatened.
“So you’ll force yourself on me?” I challenged.
“What did I tell you on the plane, Star? I’ll stop when you actuallymean it.” He took another step closer, and I swallowed nervously.
My heart raced because despite my brain telling me to hold firm andnot give in to him, my whole body wasbeggingme to let him do whatever the fuck he wanted.
“But don’t forget, Riley. I know you. I know every inch of your body. Ican tell when your pulse is racing. I see when your eyes dilate with need. I know when your cunt is getting wetter at the mere thought of my cock pounding it. Your mouth might be saying no, but your body says something entirely different.”
Shit.
He was so fucking right. Everything he had just described washappening, especially the part about my pussy getting wetter. Right now, my panties were positively soaked.
An internal war raged. Kai was right, there was no denying myphysical reaction to him, and if I was honest with myself, I wanted nothing more than for him to ravish me.
But so much of me was still furious with him, and that part of me, thepart that dominated my emotions wasn’t ready to hear his reasoning for putting me through six months of hell.
But let’s face it, this was Kai Wolfe I was dealing with. I could protestas much as I liked, and all the time my traitorous body was reacting the way it was, there was no way he wouldn’t follow through on his threat.
I had no choice but to accept the truth of the matter.
I was about to get a damn good seeing to, and I’d be lying if I said itwas the worst thing in the world.
Seeing the resignation wash over my face, Kai took another stepforward as I took a step back, not realizing he’d been slowly pushing me back against the wall. With nowhere for me to go, Kai took a final step forward, crowding me in as he raised his arms and pinned me against the wall.
“We can do this the easy way, or the hard way, Star,” he whisperedagainst my ear, his scent wrapping around me and sending my hormones into overdrive. “It’s up to you. But I warn you, baby, if you take the hard way, I will take it out on your ass, and you won’t get to come.”
