She opens her eyes and raises her brow at me. “I’m on vacation,” she says bitchily. “Although, technically, not really as I’m working while I’m here. But, I’m on vacation, and I really don’t need to listen to your bullshit.” She closes her eyes once again, completely dismissing me.
I sigh. “I’m hungry,” I tell her. “Come, let’s eat.”
She opens her eyes and narrows them. “Food? You came all this way for food?”
“No, Alexis, I didn’t. I came to bring you home, but you’re determined to act like a brat and punish your parents for God knows what reason. I need to eat, and so do you.” I look at her sexy body, my cock tightening as I do. Christ. Every time I see her, she gets sexier and sexier.
Her eyes narrow even further as she jumps to her feet, her breasts jiggling as she does. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?” she hisses.
“What the fuck?” I snarl. “What’s up your ass now?”
Her eyes flash with anger. “You,” she hisses. “Not bad enough that you’re ruining my vacation, you’ve basically called me fat.”
I suck in a sharp breath. “The fuck I did,” I snap.
She crosses her arms over her chest. “You think I haven’t heard all the snide remarks, the fat girl jokes, the taunts? I haven’t had men tell me, oh, you need to eat but stare at me with disgust whenever I do eat food? I have a pooch, I know I’m not thin. I’m not sexy like other women. But I’m happy with who I am. I love my body, and I’ll be damned to let anyone try and make me feel otherwise. Especially you.” She glares at me before flicking her black hair over her head and storming toward her villa.
I stare at her retreating back. My heart thumping at her words. Fucking raging that some asshole has made her doubt her sexiness. Her beauty. The fuck is wrong with them?
Alexis is by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her body is to fucking die for. She’s beyond sexy. Her curves are what attracted me to her in the first place, long before I should have been. That pooch she’s talking about is part of her. Nothing about her is ugly, nor is it disgusting, and if I ever find the person who said that to her, I’ll fucking kill them.
Alexis opens the door to her villa, and I follow after her, stalking toward her. “We’re nowhere near finished,” I snarl at her.
She twists and faces me, her eyes filled with pain. “Leave me alone,” she says, her words filled with anger and hurt.
“Alexis,” I growl, pissed off that she’s pushing me away. I’m beyond angry knowing she’s hurting.
“Go home, Abel, go home and leave me the fuck alone.” I watch as a tear slowly falls down her face, completely gutting me.
“Baby girl,” I say softly as I step forward. I pull her into my arms and hold her tight.
Fuck. She feels so good in my arms. So right. Like she was made to be here.
My cock tightens at having her soft body pressed against mine. The air around us changes and goes static.
“Abel?” she whispers, her eyes wide and her breath hitching.
Christ. That hitch, that sexy as fuck look, and those plump lips of hers, they’re begging me.
Fuck me. I can’t hold back.
I’ve held back for six fucking years. But now she’s here and in my arms, I'm not doing it any longer. No. Today, I take what I’ve wanted for so fucking long.
Today, I take a bite out of the forbidden fruit.
FOUR
ALEXIS
There’s always been something about Abel that has me guarded. He’s not like anyone else. The predatory looks are something I’m accustomed to. The previous foster homes I stayed in had me on edge. I could tell when someone took an unhealthy interest in me, and I saw it in Abel’s eyes the moment I saw him six years ago. But he kept his distance, something I’m grateful for. But now that predatory look has intensified, and he looks at me as though he wants to do all kinds of things to me.
But we can’t. The way I feel right now is not right. It’s not the way a girl should feel about their uncle.
His arms tighten around me, and I bite back a whimper when I feel the hardness of his cock against my stomach. That’s definitely not the way an uncle should be around his niece.
I look up at him, his dark brown eyes filled with intense want and need. His gaze falls to my lips, and the air between us thickens.
He skims his fingers along my body. Holy shit, my body heats, and my breathing shallows.
