“Yeah, but it didn’t have to be if you had just told me thetruth!”
“Would you have stuck it out withme?”
“I guess we won’t know now, will we?” he replied disparagingly. “You never gave me that chance. You were prepared to think the worse of me … that I’d get tired of you. I’ve shown you for months how much you meant to me. And what did you do? You leftme!”
“I cared for you enough to leaveyou.”
“You’re saying you left me because you cared for me? That’s fuckingbullshit.”
“Is it? Look at all the security changes you have to make because ofme.”
“Let’s back up a bit,” Grant said, the tension in him easing slightly. “I’m not without fault. I should’ve anticipated the abrupt changes in my dad’s campaign schedule, but you shut me out for weeks after that politicaldinner.”
“You shut me out too. After you nearly attackedClaude—”
“Do not mention his fuckingname—”
“I bet you had a file on him even before you showed up at the art studio and claimed me like some freakingcaveman.”
The barest flicker in his eyes told me my statement wastrue.
I puffed a short laugh and shook my head in disbelief. “Youdid.”
“The only man you should be staring at naked is me,” he replied, all surly and grumbly and completelyunrepentant.
“I’m anartist!”
“We’re getting off topic but, before we leave this subject, it’s not gonna happen again. Gotme?”
“Grant!”
“Now, in regards to me shutting down, it’s because I say shit when I’m angry but I did not shut you out to break up with you. And after everything we’d been through, I didn’t expect you to put me in cold storage forweeks.”
“After our pictures appeared in the tabloids I knew our time together was over,” I explained. “Liam got delayed in getting me out. The longer I stayed, the harder it got to pretend that everything was okay, so I avoidedyou.”
“You stopped having sex with me and that drove me crazy. We quit talking. You locked yourself up in the art studio,” Grant said. “I thought all you needed was space after the political dinner spookedyou.”
“That wasn’t anybody’s fault.” Not even Gus, who was only doing his job. And yet there were no words to describe the heartache I felt that day when I made the decision to extricate myself from hislife.
“A takeover bid took away my focus, but I thought I had time,” he muttered. “I thought if I took you back to Colorado, we could recapture our connection that we’d somehow lost these past two months.” His tone took on an edge of frustration. “I’m surprised you didn’t want to leavebefore.”
“We thought you would lose interest and be the one to break up withme.”
“I should be mad at you,” Grant said quietly, taking one step forward. “I felt you holding back, you know. At first, I tried to convince myself that you needed time, but weeks turned into months …” he broke off, gave one shake of his head and looked at thefloor.
“You were losing patience,” Iconcluded.
“Yes. And in all that time I gave you reasons to stay, you were planning to leave me,” he glared at me. “I should be mad at you,” he reiterated. He leaned in, yanked me into his arms, and pinned me to the hard length of him. “I don’t know what I feel about you right now. One minute I’m pissed, the next minute I’m hopeful, and then in another minute, I want to fuck some sense into you.” His hands dug into my ass and I yelped. “I’m going with wanting to fuckyou.”
He backed me into the dining room and laid me on the table. He divested me of my pajama bottoms, leaving my panties on, and dragged my butt to the edge of the table. He kissed me, his tongue driving in to tangle with my own. I pushed his chest at the same time wrenched my mouth from him. “Grant, we need totalk.”
“No, I need to fuck you,” he growled. “I can’t think clearly when my cock is begging to get inside you.” Two fingers slipped past my panties and penetrated my pussy. I gasped at the sudden intrusion, yet I felt myself gush all over him. “Fuck,” he hissed. He continued to pump inside me, angling his knuckles as he spread me wide, his mouth hovered against mine with just enough space between our faces to pant against each other. My eyes grew heavy-lidded and I saw his smile of triumph before he devoured my lips again. His kiss was hungry, desperate, his chest rumbled as he moved to the side, our mouths still locked. I nearly protested until I heard my panties rip as he tore them off my legs. He broke our kiss then and sank to his knees. My thighs were shoved apart and a flat hot tongue stroked up my slit. He lapped at my entrance, spearing in, tasting more. Greedy, sucking mouthfuls sent me soaring into myorgasm.
His fingers took over and I heard his voice. “I’ll take your body now, Blaire, but I’ll be taking your mind, your fucking heart. All of you,” he growled as he sucked hard on my clit. I hadn’t fully come down from my crazy release when he hauled me off the table and my back slammed against the wall. My legs came around him, but he was pushing up inside me even before I could register that he had released his cock. His up-thrust was harsh, almostvicious.
“Grant …” My head shook from side to side as I was still throbbing. I didn’t think I could take his pounding andbreathe.
“No mercy, Angel, I’m gonna fuck you until you feel me for days,” he snarled, driving so deep I felt him bottom out inside me. “Look at me!” he demanded and my eyes popped open to his heated ones. “You will never leave me.” Thrust. “Even if you do, you’ll remember my cock inside you like this.” Thrust. Thrust. “Marking you, stretchingyou…”
