“I know what I want.”
“Yeah. As you so eloquently put it, you want to fuck me.”
They’re my words, but hearing them thrown back at me pisses me the fuck off. “Shut the fuck up. If this was just about pussy, I’d be long gone. You wanna talk about commitment? Why don’t we talk about how you’re stringing that poor kid along? How committed are you to him?”
She opens her mouth to say something but closes it quickly. I take the opportunity to continue.
“And what about me? Am I supposed to sit back and watch you run around with the boy? You’re asking me for something you don’t seem willing to give. Maybe you’re just like Lonnie after all.”
Why the fuck did I say that? Shit. She stands frozen to the spot, staring at me in open-mouthed shock and disbelief.
I step toward her and she plants her palms on my chest, pushing me away. I take another step and she pummels my chest with her little fists.
“Youmotherfucker!”
“Raven, stop!”
I grab her wrists and we engage in a battle of death stares. She pulls away and then surprises the hell out of me when she grabs my shirt and drags me toward her, pressing her lips to mine. I force her against the wall and fuckingownher lips. I have never kissed a woman like this before. It’s as if I’m pouring out all my rage and frustration, focusing all my energy into this one act. She claws at me like she’s unsure what to do with her hands. One second she’s grabbing my shirt, the next it’s my face, and then my hair.
She parts her lips, letting me in, and then I own her tongue, too. She moans, writhing against me. I taste every sweet inch of her mouth, grabbing her ass and pulling her to me. Squeezing her firm cheeks, I lift her off the ground. She wraps her legs around my hips and I push into the wall, pressing my dick against her pussy. I slide my hands under her top and up her back, desperate to feel her skin. She quivers, whimpering loudly. All the while, we’re going at each other’s lips like some ravenous creatures. She breaks the kiss, trying to catch her breath, and I sink my teeth into her neck.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”
“Gage…”
“No one else, Raven.No onetouches you but me.”
“Raven?”
I turn my head to see who the soft, shaky voice came from. Raven gasps, unhooks her legs from around me, and shrieks in horror, “Chris!”
***Raven***
Fuck, fuck, fuck!The shattered look on his face grabs my heart in a chokehold. He looks like he’s about to be sick. I can’t blame him. I can’t even imagine what’s going through his mind right now. He just shakes his head and walks away.
“Chris, wait!” I untangle myself from Gage and chase him down, but he ignores me. I grab his hand and he turns to me in a rage.
“I asked you about him and you lied!”
“You asked me if we’re having sex. We’re not.”
“You expect me to believe that?”
“We’ve kissed. That’s it.”
“That’s it?” he mocks me. “Oh, that’s fine then.”
“I know you’re angry, but please –”
“Iloveyou. Do you understand that?”
The tears that were forming in my eyes spill over and race down my cheeks.
“You had something going with him before we started dating, didn’t you?”
“We kissed.”
“What is he? Some kind of pedophile?”
