“I want to be her, Nathan,” I murmur seductively. “The woman you need. I ache to fall apart under your touch, to give you complete control over my body. Dominate me. Use me to sate your lust. Have me. I crave it all. Let me please you. Please. Please.Plea-”
His mouth crashes against mine, swallowing my plea.
My eyes shut in bliss as his lips ravish mine in a rough kiss. Delving his fingers in my hair, he slants my head and holds me still. His tongue licks my bottom lip before thrusting inside and sliding against mine. Sucking on it harshly, he groans at my taste, like I’m the sweetest thing in the world.
Flipping us around, I’m slammed against the brick wall. The coldness is a stark contrast to the heat of his firm body. I grasp his waist with both hands, trying to yank him closer.
“Goddamn you, Ari,” he growls, pinning me to the wall with a hand around my throat. I whimper when he nips my lip savagely. “You’ve made it your mission to bring me to my knees, haven’t you?”
Without giving me a chance to answer, he swoops in for another wild and open-mouthed kiss. I roll my tongue around his, licking every crevice of his mouth and kissing him back just as fervently. I become drunk on the taste of smoke and whiskey.
“Say yes,” I moan, his lips kissing down my jaw, the slope of my neck, and sucking hard where the soft skin meets my collarbone. I tug his face back to mine until we’re lost in each other's hooded eyes. “Tell me you desire me as badly. That you can’t stop thinking about me.”
“I haven’t stopped thinking about you since the moment I left your place.” Shadows dance over his sharp cheekbones, making him appear almost predatory. “I warn you to stay away from me, and you show up at my door instead. Seducing me and acting like a cocktease. You have no self-preservation, little minx.” Grasping my jaw, he tilts my head back and cruelly bites my top lip until I whimper. “You want to be ruined by me, I’ll happily oblige your wish.”
Kissing me hard, his calloused hands explore my curves possessively. I sigh in wicked pleasure, falling apart at the edges. Yet somehow held together by him.
“More,” I beg. “More. Make me come.”
Ripping his mouth away, he clicks his tongue. “That’s not how it works. If you want me to say yes to your risqué deal and fuck you in secret, your orgasms won’t be your own but mine. You come when I say…IfI allow it after you’ve been a good little girl.”
A needy sound escapes my lips. I nod my head. “Okay.”
“I get to fuck you anytime, anyplace I want.”
“Do… Do I have the same power?”
His lips tilt up salaciously. “Do you mean can you show up at my door in the middle of the night when you’re feeling needy?”
I flush red, my lungs constricting as his arrogant question steals my oxygen.
“Because youwill, since I own your orgasms,” he hums, running his palms over my breasts and cupping them tightly. Twisting my nipples, he demands, “Answer me.”
“Yes.”
“Yes what?”
“Yes, can I come if I… I want to…” I trail off, suddenly feeling shy.
“To fuck,” he finishes, tweaking my swollen nipples again. “Say it. Fucking is all it’ll ever be between us, Ari. I won’t be your boyfriend who takes you on romantic dates, who asks about your feelings, or is a shoulder for you to lean on.”
“I know. This is just sex.” Dark amusement lights his eyes when I don’t say‘fucking’. “Nothing more. Will you please say yes now?”
“Not yet.”
“Nathan,” I whine, breaking apart at the seams.
“Show me how well you can obey and please me first.”
“How?”
He leans in. “Get on your knees.”
Chapter Twenty-Six
Arya
I jolt at his filthy command. Anticipation fills my bloodstream at his intention.
