“Rose, don’t play games with me,” Nathan replied, his voice smooth as he leaned in towards me. “You know exactly what I want. I’ve waited long enough for my mistress to fulfill her duties.” He stood up and without giving me a second to think, he dragged me to my feet.
“Nathan, please...” I pleaded. “In the morning, after I’ve had a good night’s sleep.”
Nathan ignored my plea’s and he leaned forward and kissed me hard on the mouth, taking it without any regard to my feelings.
Just like before I felt it take my breath away. I tried to pull away from him, but Nathan grabbed me around the waist and pulled me closer, crushing me against his hard body. I felt my own body react to our closeness and silently scowled at myself. This man should not be having such an effect over me. He was mean, ruthless, and cruel. I came to my senses and pulled my face away from his.
“Don’t fight the inevitable, Rose,” Nathan murmured. “I could tell by that kiss that you want me just as much as I want you.”
“No, I don’t want you, Nathan,” I hissed. “I told you that someone like you will never have that kind of effect over me. Never.”
Nathan’s face grew cold and dark. “Well Rose, whether you want it or not...” His voice trailed off, then he leaned over and in one swift movement, he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
“Nathan, are you serious? What is this, the Stone Ages? Put me down!” I yelled, while trying to wiggle out of Nathan’s grasp. My efforts were pointless, I was no match for Nathan’s powerful arms.
Nathan simply laughed, giving me a light slap on my behind. When he got to the bedroom, he threw me softly down onto the bed. My stomach clenched in fear and in anticipation. Heat started to flow through my veins and I wasn’t sure if I was going to throw up or melt in pleasure. Did I really want this?
“Nathan please,” I pleaded as Nathan took off his shirt and jacket and threw them down on the floor. I sat up and pushed myself against the pillows.
“You knew this is what I wanted you for, angel. What is a mistress who won’t please me?” Nathan whispered huskily in my ear as he climbed onto the bed.
“I ...I know, but it’s a lot more difficult than I thought it would be...” I puffed out, the nerves taking over my whole body. I don’t know what scared me more, the fact that he was just going to take what he wanted or the fact that I might want him to.
Nathan sat back and stared at me, his brown eyes studying my face for what felt like forever. “Rose, have you ever been with a man before?” he asked, his eyebrows rising.
My cheeks flamed. I hadn’t. I’d never had the opportunity. I’d always had too much to worry about without adding men and sex to the picture. I’d been on dates, but nothing serious ever happened and I just couldn’t see myself sleeping with random men. It just wasn’t me. The longer I’d put it off, the harder it became for me to do.
“No, I haven’t.”
“Fuck,” Nathan swore under his breath, his frustration showing on his usually expressionless face. “Really, Rose?”
I nodded, my cheeks flaming bright red as I sat up in the bed. I was mortified. I thought that I’d be able to just go along with whatever Nathan had planned for me but now that I was here, I couldn’t control my nerves. I couldn’t lie to him about this.
Nathan slowly sat up beside me. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” he asked, his voice flat.
“I really didn’t think it was any of your business. How many women have you been with?” I snapped. Like he would have cared anyway.
“This is different. I may be an arsehole, but I could never just take that from you. Not like this. God Rose, I’m not that cold-hearted.”
I scoffed. “Really?”
“Yes Rose, really.” Nathan said, his voice softening. He reached over and smoothed a piece of hair away from my face.
I was so surprised by his softness. I didn’t even know Nathan could have this side to him. “Well, now what? Can I go home?”
Nathan laughed. “Oh no, my angel, I never said I didn’t want you. But that part of our deal will have to wait a little longer.”
“Are you sure you’ll be able to go without?” I asked dryly, mocking him even though I knew I shouldn’t.
“Who said you were the only woman in my life?” He got up off the bed, kissed me on the forehead, in what felt like a very platonic gesture, and he walked into the bathroom to shower, all without a backwards glance.
I watched him walk away and I was surprised by an odd feeling running through me. A feeling of jealousy. How could I be jealous of a woman sleeping with Nathan when I didn’t want to sleep with him?
Nathan came out of the bathroom after his shower with just a fluffy white towel wrapped low around his hips. I watched him walk into the wardrobe and pick up a pair of black boxer shorts. I wanted to look away and not give him the satisfaction of knowing that I was attracted to him, but he was the most perfect man I had ever laid my eyes on. Every inch of him was utterly delicious.
Nathan turned around and caught me staring. A slight smile formed on his lips. “Changed your mind, Rose?”
“It takes more than a good body to be desirable.”
