"Turn that trash off."

Stunned, I simply blink at him."You can't be serious."

"Oh, I am.It's rubbish, and I don't want to hear it."

"Wow.Didn't realize that twenty-seven was old man territory.Color me surprised.I guess the military aged you, huh?"

He grits his teeth so hard the small muscles in his jaw pop."No.I just don't enjoy hearing pop music at a volume so loud I'm sure they hear it on the space station."

"And what would you be listening to then?Cool jazz?Talk radio?"

"Well, if you want to know."It's his turn to plug something in.Soon, an odd, droning voice fills the car."Podcasts.Educational and relaxing."

"Boring is more like it."I reach out and take his cord away and put mine in instead."At least this will help keep us awake on the drive."

He yanks out the cord."Or we could just sit in silence."

"Or," I counter as I stick it back in, "you could yank the stick out of your ass and loosen up a little."

With a soft growl that turns my insides to mush, he pulls it out again."If anyone has something up their ass, I'm sure it's you.Order any more sex toys lately?"

I shove it in again."You tell me.Have you been jacking off to my purchases lately?"

Another yank."Put yourself in danger anytime soon?"

"Fucking pissed on anyone?"

"That's it!"he roars as he sits up in the seat and scours the road.

What he's looking for, I don't even have a clue.It's not until he finally jerks the car over in a secluded spot that I worry about how I tormented him.Why else would he take me where no one else can see?

Turning in his seat, he undoes his belt and snarls as he looms over me."I did that to teach you a lesson."

"And what lesson was I supposed to learn?That my brother's a pervert?"

"Step," he hisses."Aren't you the one always saying that?Aren't you the one always correcting me, showing the massive distinction?Why stop now?Scared?"

"Of you?"I breathe as my body trembles."N- never."

"Such a bad little liar," he murmurs as his hands clench into fists at his sides."Such a dangerous game you're playing right now.I hope you're prepared for the consequences."

"You're just pissed that you didn't get off last night," I spit back as a thread of fear mixed with a whole hell of a lot of exhilaration and adrenaline floods my system.

"And what makes you think I didn't?Hmm?"His eyes darken as he leans in closer."What makes you think I didn't jack myself off?Hell.What makes you think I didn't just go fuck another omega?"

I try to keep the hurt out of my voice, but I can't keep it from piercing my heart."Did you?"

"No, damn it," he roars."I was too busy watching you get off in your sleep.I fucking came on your bedroom floor.Is that what you want to hear?Do you want me to tell you all the filthy ways I've imagined taking you?Fucking that sweet, little innocent cunt until you're ruined for every other Alpha out there?"

"Well, I?—"

"Shut up.Just fucking shut up."

Before I can say another word, he lunges forward and slides his hand in my hair to fist it, holding me in place.His lips descend in a crushing kiss.This isn't gentle.It isn't sweet.

Teeth clack together as he forces his lips against mine.His mouth presses hard against me, punishing, bruising, owning completely.As I gasp, he takes full advantage and slips his tongue in, fucking my mouth like he wants to fuck me.

A groan vibrates through my throat as I arch into him, inhibited by the seatbelt.I push away long enough to wrench it off before melting into his arms again.The hot, spicy scent of his arousal slips into my lungs and fills every breath until I find that I'm ravenous.
