I scoff. “Maybe I don’t want you anymore.”
His lips curl on one side. “If that was true, you would have told me no in the bathroom. But you didn’t, did you?”
My stomach lurches and I look away from him.
He exhales a long breath. “Let’s skip the unpleasantries and get straight to the point. Take the contract. I’ll give you three days to think it over and come to terms with it.”
Saliva pools in my mouth, a finality ringing in my ears. “And if I do this, you’ll remove the restraining order and have them issue an apology that it was a mistake. His career is on the line.”
The sharp grinding of Sebastian’s teeth is the only sound in the office before my attention falls back on him.
His stare is cold, regarding me with such intensity that it stalls the air in my lungs for a moment.
He relents, snidely. “I’ll think about it.”
My temper flares. “No, Sebastian. You’ll fucking fix it.”
He stands and presses against my chest. When I lose my balance from his sudden presence, his hands catch my waist. My heart slams into my ribs, heat spreading throughout my body from where he’s touching me. He gives me a teasing smile, his thumb rubbing into my side. “I could be persuaded.”
I scoff, my hands sliding up his solid chest, but I don’t immediately move to push him away. “Seriously?”
He shrugs, his eyes lingering on my mouth and I finally step away from him.
“No.”
Sebastian shrugs again. He pushes me further with taunting amusement. “Just wanted to see your reaction.”
Chapter 6
Sebastian
Gianna scoffs,crossing her arms. The motion raises the swell of her breasts, and my eyes follow before she realizes and drops them. “You did that for a reaction? You filed a restraining order against my boyfriend under my name for a fucking reaction?” Her voice is lower now and she tilts her chin up.
“I did it for several reasons, but I knew it would draw you to me.” I smirk, leaning forward. I wonder if she notices how much I control her. She mimics every movement. She steps back, putting useless distance between us. “You wouldn’t be able to help yourself. You would need to come and see if it was true, and then your curiosity would make you ask how I accomplished it.”
Her eyebrows draw together and I can see the tremble of her chin, knowing she’s chewing theinside of her cheek. “I’m sure this is illegal. The same way you got fake birth control to replace my real ones in college.”
“The placebo pills are far from illegal. It’s as legitimate as the restraining order I had placed on him,” I tell her, licking my lips as she glares at me.
“Make it go away, Sebastian.” She shakes her head. “This is childish and he doesn’t deserve this.”
“I don’t give a fuck about him,” I say, anger making my voice cold and harsh. “You’re lucky I didn’t put him in an early grave for even fucking touching you.”
Gianna’s face pales, her hands shaking. “Please don’t kill him.”
I close my eyes to calm myself, rubbing my thumb over my bottom lip before looking at her again. She might think she cares about him, but I know she doesn’t, and I’m going to prove it to her. “What are you willing to do so I don’t?”
“W-what?” she rasps out. I can see her pulse quickening from the jump in her throat. I’ve got her right where I want her, and I almost smile, but I keep my face stern.
“You want to bargain for his life? What areyou offering?”
“I don’t know what you mean,” she says, chin quivering.
I take a step forward and her body tenses. “You do, baby,” I taunt her, taking a few more steps until I stand in front of her, a breath away. “Get on your knees,Gianna.”
Her pupils dilate and her lips part before her small tongue flicks behind her teeth and she draws in a breath. She doesn’t look away as she slowly lowers herself to the floor, tucking her feet under her ass.
“Take me out,” I command, my stomach tensing as I wait for her to obey. Gianna swallows and looks down at the bulge in my pants, her shaking hands brushing against me as she fumbles to unbutton and pull the zipper down. Her fingers wrap around my hard length, and I bite back a groan at the warmth of her touch as she pushes my pants down to pull me completely out.
