“Babe.”
“Forget it,” I said.
“Don’t shut down on me, Dani. Just tell me what you’re thinkin’.”
“I just want you to be realistic. It’s obvious we’re attracted to each other, but you can’t base a relationship on just lust.”
“We’re in a relationship now?” he challenged.
“Absolutely not.” I took a deep, steadying breath. “How about you take your pizza and go? I’ll find a way to pay you back for the car. I really appreciate all your help.” I started for the front door. “I hope you have a nice life.”
I’d made it just past my dining table when he grabbed my arm and tugged me into his arms. His mouth slammed onto mine and he kissed me with an intensity I’d never experienced before. I hated that I loved it. Hated that I couldn’t resist him. Hated that heat pooled between my legs as he slid his hand under my shirt.
Austin broke the kiss with a scowl. “You’re a fuckin’ pain in my ass.”
“Then leave.”
He shook his head. “Not gonna happen.”
“I don’t understand what you want from me,” I snapped.
“I’m gonna show you.”
I shook my head. “Not tonight you’re not.”
“Dani,” he said, his tone pitched low in warning.
“What, Austin?” I bellowed. “I don’t know you. I’m not jumping into bed with you just because I’m attracted to you. For all I know, I could be one in a long line of women you like to “do” on a regular basis. I’ve heard about your types of gangs and how you pass women around and that isnotme. You may be used to biker whores who like that... hell, they probably live for the chance to provide you with fellatio... or other kinds of sexual favors, but I’m not one of them.”
“Fuck me.” He raised an eyebrow. “Fellatio?”
“Yes. Oral sex.”
“You think I’m standing here expecting you to suck me off?” he asked.
“Don’t be crude,” I said, my face on fire.
“You can’t say it, can you, Dani?”
“I just did,” I countered.
His hand went to my neck again, the familiarity of his thumb sweeping over my pulse, and he smiled. “Baby, one day...soon... you and I are gonna take this further. Maybe you’ll suck my cock, maybe you won’t, but I will definitely eat your pussy, and you’ll love it. You will scream for more and I will oblige. I will take my time and make you come... more than once. I’m thorough and I’m very good at what I do, so you’ll beg for more and when you do, I’ll give you more.” He stroked my pulse again. “What I will not do is share. Neither will you. Get me?”
I swallowed, squeezing my legs shut in an effort to stop my body’s traitorous reaction.
“Dani?”
“What?” I rasped.
“Do. You. Get. Me?” he repeated.
I licked my lips and nodded.
“Good.” He smiled again. “Let’s eat.”
I swallowed, but continued to stand where I was.
“Babe?” he said. “Food.”
