‘Ah, Logan, nothing. Just helping my cousin with a little issue.’
I couldn’t meet his eyes as I felt his gaze burning into me.
‘I don’t think she needs any more of your help. I think it would be best if you returned to the party.’
Hugh’s mouth opened as though he was ready to argue, but then he thought better of it before spitting out, ‘I’ll catch up with you another time, Valentina.’
When he left, I closed my eyes and leant my head back against the wall, the fire leaving me.
‘You okay, Cherry?’ My screen-name on his lips in person was a delight.
‘I’m fine.’
You don’t look fine. Did he hurt you?’
‘No.’
Then his fingers were on my chin, tilting my face to look up at him. When I did, I fell in love a little more. Up close, he was everything I could have wanted. Full lips, intense eyes and that kind of stern, stoic expression that made me wet.
‘I didn’t know...’ he said.
‘It’s okay. I didn’t either. It’s nice to put a name and face to you, though.’
His touch felt like fire searing across my jaw as my heart rate picked up. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around his neck and taste him.
‘I guess I should call you Valentina.’
‘I guess I shouldn’t call you Daddy.’
His expression darkened as he bit his lower lip. ‘Fuck, you can’t call me that.’
His reaction made me want to call him it all the more. ‘Why? Will you spank me if I do?’
I felt the tremble in his fingers as he wavered. ‘I can’t. God, I fucking want to, but I can’t. You’re too young. I’m engaged to your cousin. It wasn’t supposed to be real.’
It hurt. Another rejection. Another win for Nicole.
‘There’s only a sixteen year gap, it’s not that big...’
‘I’m engaged to your cousin.’
‘But you don’t love her. And she doesn’t love you. She gave you permission...’
‘Permission to be discreet. I don’t think it would extend to fucking her family members.’
I was sick of always being second best. Sick of never having what I wanted, always wearing the hand-me-downs from my cousin. Swallowing hard, I stepped forward, sliding a hand up his chest and around the back of his neck.
‘You know it could be so good though, don’t you? The fire. You must feel it. The dirty things you told me, let’s make them real. Pin me down, spread me open, make me scream a thousand ‘please daddies’ into your ear.’
His fingers found my neck as he held me back, sending a thrill shooting through me as his hand tightened around my throat.
‘Cherry, I’d fucking destroy you.’
‘Destroy me, Daddy.’
He choked back a growl as he neared me, his breath tickling over my lips as I tipped my head back to welcome him.
‘No.’
