“I’m just tryin’ to protect you, sweetheart.”
“Protect me from what? Men exactly like you? Trust me, Jameson, you’re not the first, nor will you be the last man to try to protect me. Those men… are the reason I started taking care of myself in the first place.”
“I’m the last man you’d need protection from.”
“I’d say you were the first.”
I could take brutal, harsh verbal abuse. It was mild compared to the emotional assault his eyes rained down on me, like a knife carving into my already wounded mind. My heart immediately tightened as if he was physically holding it in the palm of his hand.
Mostly because I was curious as to what could happen, and anxious of what couldn’t...
Where are these feelings coming from?
He narrowed his brazen stare at me and fucking grinned, sensing my conflicting emotions.
“Let go of me,” I murmured so low, not wanting to say it too loud. Trying to find the good in him when all I could see was the bad.
My resolve slowly began to crumble around us like shards of glass slicing into my skin.
At this moment between us, I no longer owned my body…
My heart.
My mind.
It owned me.
And that was the scariest feeling.
“I don’t like you,” I breathed out, needing him to hear it.
“I know,” he stated in a much deeper voice.
I slightly backed away, once again needing to protect myself from him. Before he could reply, I moved out of the way and stood but was stopped short when he gripped the back of my neck and knocked my willpower right out of me.
He didn’t hesitate, yanking my mouth toward his until his were pressed up against mine. His lips instantly parted, beckoning me to do the same, and I couldn’t resist, so I did. His hands cupped the sides of my face as he pushed me until my heels collided with something solid behind me. Propelling my body backward, I slightly gasped, expecting to fall hard on my ass, but he wrapped his strong arm around my waist to break my fall. He eased me back onto what felt like stairs, his muscular frame collapsing on top of mine.
Caging me in with his arms, pinning me beneath him, he whispered against my lips, “You alright?”
I nodded, unable to form any words. My mind was too scrambled with thoughts and emotions I didn’t understand, couldn’t control, and was too scared to label. It was one giant clusterfuck, him being on top of me in such an intimate position, having me at his mercy for the first time. My chest rose and fell faster and faster with each deep breath that escaped my lungs. Digging in deeper and deeper, inch by inch, I crumpled beneath him, and he wasn’t even kissing me again.
Before my mind could catch up,I put my arms around his neck and kissed him instead. He groaned from the depths of his chest like it was all he’d been waiting for. As he pushed me harder against the steps, I kissed him with more force and determination, demanding something I couldn’t quite place. Slipping my tongue into his waiting mouth, I bit his bottom lip, causing him to growl as we immediately tasted the faint copper of his blood.
With his possessive hold around my neck, he kissed me slower.
Every time I felt his hard cock thrust against my wet heat.
Every time I felt his heartbeat against mine.
I felt him all over again.
My eyes widened in shock, and it was the jolt of fire I had to feel to end this between us. Using all my strength, I shoved him off and tried to knee him in the balls, but he got off me before I could. Knowing my intentions.
“That’s not very nice,” he exclaimed.
If he was surprised, he didn’t show it. In fact, it was as if he expected me to react like this once the daze of him wore off.
“I’m not very nice,” I spewed, pushing him off until I was able to stand.
