“Is this what you wanted?” he asked.
She nodded her head.
He saw her hands were clenched at her sides. Her cheeks were flush a bright red, and she kept nibbling her bottom lip.
She looked so fucking cute and sexy at the same time. He just couldn’t resist.
Taking hold of her hand, he placed it against his chest. “Touch me.”
Her hands on him felt so damn good.
Dalton sensed her nervousness.
She was still wearing her bag and a jacket. Taking the bag from her, he hung it up on the coat peg, and then returned to her, removing the jacket next. Her gaze was still on him.
“Tell me what you want, Emily.”
He wasn’t used to being so nice, nor patient. Emily changed him, he knew that.
“I don’t know.”
He looked at her. “Do you want to leave?”
“No.”
He was shocked when she didn’t even hesitate and of course her answer also surprised him. Despite all his power and money, he expected rejection.
“Do you want to have a drink? Dinner?”
She averted her gaze. “I know what you want, Dalton, and I want it too.”
He folded his arms across his chest and looked at her. “You expect me to believe, being the virgin you are, that you want to sleep with me?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t believe you. Less than twenty-four hours ago, you couldn’t even stand the idea of it, and now you’re offering yourself up. Why? I gave you everything. There is nothing you have to do.” He had thought he wanted Emily by any means he could get her. Forcing her, and then hoping to win her heart afterward had sounded like a good and solid plan to him, only it had way too many loopholes and problems.
“And that’s why I want to be here with you.” Emily stepped toward him. She reached out and gently placed a hand on top of his chest, right next to his heart. “You gave me an ultimatum. You were going to force me to marry you and have sex with you. You tried to take the choice away from me, and I didn’t want that. You’ve given me back my choice. You’re not expecting anything in return.” She slid her hands up and around his neck. “Do you not want me?”
To be the good man, he should tell her to go home. To think about what she was going to do. He should, he knew that. Dalton wasn’t a good man. He may be ruthless but Emily was all he had ever wanted.
Pushing her away was not an option for him. She was his, she belonged to him, and he knew if given the chance, he could make her happy. He had the ability to give her everything she desired.
“I gave you a chance to leave,” Dalton said, leaning down, shoving his shoulder against her stomach, and then lifting her over it. “Now, you don’t get the chance to leave.”
There was only so much restraint and kindness he could show.
Emily had always been a soft spot to him even though he always managed to fuck things up. He’d always craved and desired her and that wasn’t going away anytime soon.
His hunger for her knew no bounds. There was no turning back after this. Emily may think he was a good man, but when he took her, he wasn’t going to wear a condom. He wasn’t going to let an opportunity like this pass him by.
He tried to be good, and she came back to him.
Now, he was never letting her go. She would be bound to him.
Chapter Six
She’d be lying if she said this wasn’t exactly what she wanted. The sexual tension between them had been growing and her instincts screamed at her to keep Dalton close. He wasn’t a monster. He was damaged, like her, and deserved a second chance.
