His expression that only moments ago had brimmed with possession twisted into a cruel smirk. “Guess it’s a good thing I brought you a present.”
He dumped the bag upside down and poured the contents onto the foot of the bed.
My jaw basically hit the floor.
You could call it affronted disbelief.
It was a giant vibrator, my taunt from earlier coming back to bite me in the ass.
He leaned forward like a beast who could so easily strike me dead.
But I saw it…I saw the way he fisted the comforter as if it was the only thing keeping him from crawling back to me.
“I have a meeting and will be gone for at least two hours. Think it would be prudent if you use that while I’m gone. It’s new and sterilized and ready.”
How freakingthoughtfulof him.
Then Silas turned on his heel and strode for the door.
“You really are an asshole, aren’t you?” I snarled as I snatched the vibrator. I had every intention of beaning him in the back of the arrogant head with it.
“Yup,” he grunted as he took hold of the doorknob.
I thought he was going to stride right out, only he paused and looked back.
Cruel viciousness poured out.
TheKingshowing off who was in command.
Only I swore it was covering something else.
“You should remember it.” He delivered the last with a punch before the door snapped shut behind him.
Fury and frustration bubbled under the surface of my skin. A horrible concoction of hate and need.
Livid, I almost threw the vibrator at the closed door, mourning the fact that I hadn’t taken the shot while I had the chance.
But it wouldn’t do any good.
Silas was long gone.
Besides, I supposed there were far better uses for it, and I refused to think of it as a win for the jerk when I pushed off the bed, stormed to the bathroom, and locked the door behind me.
Refused to think of him altogether as I shimmied out of my sleep pants and underwear and set one foot on the edge of the bathtub.
My free hand reached out to the wall for support.
Lucky for Silas, I had plenty of experience in getting myself off.
Unlucky for me, it was his vicious face I saw when I shoved it inside me.
NINETEEN
SILAS
“Motherfucker.”
What the fuck did I think I was doing?
