My jaw drops this time, but I quickly close it and scoff. “And you expect me to believe that the future alpha hasn’t had his fair share of partners? You throw a lot of stones for someone who quiteliterallylives in glass.” I nod my head to the shower behind him. “I bet you’re a soft fuck anyway.”
Caleb raises an eyebrow and grins cockily, practically laughing at me. “Is that what you think?”
If he were any other guy, he’d be losing his temper from his hurt ego. Instead, he remains calm. Unfazed. And why do I find that more frustrating than if he were to fly off the handle? Why can he get under my skin, but I can’t get under his? One look athim, and I know he’d ruin me. He’d give new meaning to rough sex.
Instead of getting upset, he says, “Hm...” The bed dips.
My mouth goes dry, and my heart races as he crawls until he hovers over me, and we’re face to face. There’s a heaviness between us in the air. The cold air from the water on my body suddenly feels like it’s steaming from the heat between us.
“Did you not learn your lesson from last time, baby girl? Or are you seeking another,harderlesson?”
He stares deeply into my eyes until his gaze briefly drops to my lips. He leans down, and I think he’s about to kiss me, when instead he says, “Do you hear that? That’s your heart beating. I could pull it out of your chest in a second, and there’s nothing you could do about it. You may be out of your cell for now, but you are still every bit my prisoner.”
I’m painfully aware of how close his erect penis is to me.
He catches me staring and says, “You know how to put on a good show, I’ll give you that.”
For some reason, I like his praise.Wow, I’m really fucked in the head, aren’t I?
Speak for yourself,my wolf regurgitates back to me from earlier.
“But I am not a slave to my biological urges. I can satisfy them however and whenever I want to.” To prove a point, he lowers himself onto me, penis flat against my mound. Caleb drags his teeth across my shoulder to my neck and whispers, “I never liked games. And the one you’re playing is a dangerous one. If you want me to take you over the edge, all you have to do is beg for it.”
I can’t tell if what he said is a threat, a suggestion, a fact or a mix of all three. No matter which, I shudder.
“It seems we understand each other now. Good.” He lifts off me.
With oxygen now flowing to my brain after the breath he’s stolen, I can think again.
He hops into the shower, but rarely does he take his eyes off of me. And I find myself to be a prisoner of his stare once more.
Chapter SIXTEEN
Caleb
I’m fucked. So fucked. I wasthis closeto fucking her. She had me—reeled me in like a siren. And like some sick puppy, I fell for it. She’s smart. Observant. She’s picked up on what proper bait looks like for me.
The way she raked her hands over her body and pinched her nipples. That should’ve been me. And then when she touched herself like that... I exhale, trying to give myself grace.
Jay is naked and sprawled out on my bed, beckoning me. I’m fighting the urge not to bury myself deep inside her right now.
Cold shower it is.
After I finish, I step out and let her get a good long look before I grab a towel. I smirk when she blushes. I remove her restraints and throw some old clothes at her I had lying around. “Get dressed.”
When she puts them on, I curse under my breath. Dammit. Even rags can’t hide that body of hers.
That’s it. I can’t take it anymore.
I mindlink Tyler.“Jay’s here with me. I need you to take her back to the dungeon.”
“Why can’t you do it?”
I growl at him.
“Be right there,”he says.
