Excerpt
Lacey began to walk
towards the bus stop when I grabbed her arm firmly and hauled her to a waiting
Range Rover. She looked up at me in shock. “What are you doing?” “Shut up and
get in,” I growled. In a mood like I was in, I had seen grown men nearly piss
their pants. This woman stepped closer and spat out, “Don’t order me around.”
“Are you shittin’ me? After the stunt you just pulled, I should take you over
my knee and paddle your sweet ass. Now, do as I say,” I demanded. Her eyes
widened. “You wouldn’t actually do that, would you?” “Sweetness.” I barked out
a humorless laugh. “The only reason I won’t is because you aren’t mine. But
mark my words; I won’t hesitate whether or not you are mine if you ever do
something that irresponsible again.” “I thought I could handle it.” She took a
step backwards as her lip began to tremble. “Ha! You thought wrong,” I pointed
out. That was when she climbed into the SUV of her own accord, but she wouldn’t
look at me. I gave my driver the go ahead to take us back to my place. I’d be
damned if she spent the night away from me. Part of me didn’t trust her. The
other, wanted to ensure her safety at all costs. Unsure of which one was
stronger, I inquired, “Are you hungry?” She shook her head, still refusing to
turn towards me. Hell no. I leaned over and gently cupped her chin, bringing
her face to mine. I was surprised to discover her eyes were bright red, tears
still flowing. That particular sight did something to me. Filled with a need to
comfort, I undid my seatbelt and hers. I pulled her onto my lap and offered,
“My shoulder is right here. Go ahead and let it all out.” She buried her face
against my neck and did just that. After a few more minutes, she pulled back as
she wiped her eyes. “I didn’t know,” she admitted. “I never would’ve gone there
if I had.” Tenderly, I stroked her cheek. “I figured that out after I railed at
you. I’m—” “You were right,” she interrupted before I could finish apologizing.
Something I didn’t normally do. She continued, “It was beyond stupid. If it weren’t
for you…Well, we both know what would’ve happened.” I wasn’t fully convinced
she did comprehend what those assholes were about to do. Even though I didn’t
want to give her nightmares, she needed to know at least some of it. “Those men
didn’t just plan to gang rape you, Lacey. They were pimps. You would’ve gone to
the highest bidder.” Her head bowed. I reached underneath and gently lifted her
chin, so our eyes met. “Promise me, never again.” She attempted a nod. Not good
enough. “Say the words,” I commanded. I watched the tip of her pink tongue as
it ran along her lips, before she answered, “Never again will I go to such a
place without you.” “And?” I persuaded. She swallowed and replied, “I promise.”
“Good,” I acknowledged, before I leaned forward and brushed my lips against
hers. Damn, she was so sweet. I knew I needed to stop, but then she opened to
me on a moan. My resistance snapped as I devoured her mouth with mine, staking
a claim I didn’t want. Yet, there was no denying that was exactly what I had
just done. Mine, a feral part of me growled as I continued to take without
apology. She was the first to pull away. Her breath staggered as she confessed,
“I want you.” “You should stay away from me,” I growled. “I know. But I need
your help to find Keeley.” I closed my eyes to break the connection between us.
As if that were even possible. The fire continued to blaze between our bodies,
so I eased her off my lap. After I redid our seatbelts, I spoke, “You have my
word. I’ll help you.” Before I could finish, she professed, “But that can’t
happen again. We can only be friends.” “Right.” I smiled self-deprecatingly.
“No matter how much I want to fuck you.” She took in sharp breath as her eyes
darkened with desire. I could’ve had her then and there. I knew it. She knew
it. But that would only complicate things. So I held out my hand to shake hers.
Once she placed her hand in mine, I declared, “I won’t act on my desires.” In
deep concentration she bit her lip, and then answered, “Agreed.” How the hell I
thought I would pull that off, I had no idea. Though I knew I had to try—for
her sake, and mine.
