“You think I would just leave you alone with her?”
“Um, yeah.”
“Because you’re proving to be so trustworthy….” I tighten my hold around her waist, and a whimper escapes her lips. “Tell me why you didn’t stay with Maisy. Did something happen?”
“No,” she hisses.
“Then tell me.”
“She had Christmas plans, okay? Is that what you want to hear? That I’m so fucking sad I don’t have anywhere to go tonight?” The false bravado vanishes, leaving an unmasked, vulnerable, naked woman.
Her words spear through my chest and sink right into my heart because I feel the same every damned day. Alone as shit. Even with family nearby. A brother who can do no wrong, a mother who thinks he hung the moon and a part-time girlfriend who settled for second best.
“You should’ve told me.” At least she’s not trembling anymore which makes this next part easier. It has to be done, despite the pang of guilt stabbing at my insides. She must learn if she wants to survive this. “You disobeyed me, Rosa. And I warned you what would happen, didn’t I?”
The hurt and embarrassment from a second ago recede, and a flash of mischief streaks across those luminous eyes as she glares up at me. “Are you going to punish me, Dante?” She draws her lower lip between her teeth, and damn, I want to be those teeth.
My hand twitches where it lays just above the curve of her ass. “Is that what you want, sweetheart?” That raspy edge laces my tone, despite my best efforts to restrain it. Electricity sizzles in the minute air between us, and all the blood rushes to my cock. It throbs with the overwhelming need to take this naked woman, bend her over the couch and fuck her until she moans my name.
Her head dips, mischief curving her lips. “I guess it’s what I deserve, right?”
Excitement races through every inch of me, and my dick feels like a steel pole. I’ll spank her perfect ass raw, then drag my tongue over the soft, rosy flesh and fuck the disobedience right out of her.
“Oh, Rosa, you have no idea what you’re in for.” My fingers dance down the small of her back and grab a handful of that perfect ass. A faint groan slips out, and she rocks her hips against me, that sweet pussy grinding at my slacks. I can feel her wetness through the fine material. Is it from the shower or her arousal? Fuck if I know or care.
Closing my hands around Rose’s hips, I toss her over my shoulder. She lets out a squeal when I smack her fine ass, the sting on my palm only heightening the raw energy sizzling through every nerve ending.
“That’s only the beginning. When we’re done you won’t be able to sit for a week.” I close the distance between us and the couch in three long strides and sink into the rigid cushion. How the hell did she think she was going to sleep here?
I flip her across my lap, her perky ass spread over my legs. A tremor races up my spine at the effort to contain myself. I’m like a fucking horny virgin around this girl. My thoughts flicker back in time to Luca and me as kids. The first time I’d….
Shit, I can’t do this. I swore to Stella I’d take care of her best friend and impaling her into the sofa until morning wouldn’t sit well with my future sister-in-law. And Luca would kill me. He’d cut me off again, and I could not handle that.
“Just do it, already,” Rose murmurs, her face pressed into the couch cushion.
I lift my hand, my heart raging against my ribs. Warm wetness seeps into my slacks.Dio, she wants this as much as I do. “You’re soaked and ready for me, aren’t you, sweetheart?”
Her head spins around, and a different kind of fire rages. “Fuck you, Dante. Damn it, what am I doing?” she hisses and runs her hand through her wet hair. “I swore you lost your chance when you walked out on me that night, and I’m not going back on my word. I’ll take your fucking punishment, and then I’ll finish myself off when you leave.”
“Well, shit, you just sucked the fun right out of it, Rosa.”
“And don’t call me that! My name is Rose.” She leaps up and snatches the discarded towel from the floor.
“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” I snarl.
“To get dressed.”
“Your punishment isn’t over,” I shout and jump up to stop her. What the hell is she thinking, walking away from me like that?
She shoots me the middle finger over her shoulder and slips into the bathroom.
All the pent-up sexual frustration morphs into rage. I stomp around the lounge, my anger intensifying with each passing second. How did I get sucked into this? The last thing I need right now is to be playing bodyguard to an infuriating woman who has my balls in a chokehold.
Fuck this, I’m out of here. I stomp toward the door, and my hand closes around the handle.If you open that door, you’ll never get it…the one thing you want more than anything. An annoying voice niggles at the back of my mind. When the hell had I developed a conscience? A frustrated grunt vibrates my throat, and I let out a string of curses.
I walk my ass back to the couch and slump down on the stiff cushion. When Rose finally emerges from the employee restroom, my fingers are curled into my palms, nails drawing blood. “Let’s go,” I growl.
“Go where? Did you not hear the part when I said I had nowhere to go tonight?”
