Excerpt
With slow steps, she walked toward him, keeping her
voice low and packed with the need she had for him. "I dreamt about you
last night. That your touch scorched my body, your tongue on my nipples. I’m
dripping wet right now just thinking about it."
He swivelled with a growl. Flinching, she took a
step back at the intense expression on his face. The raw, almost feral heat in
his gaze, the slight tip to one corner of his lips, baring white teeth. She
trembled as she made the realisation; she was no longer the predator but now
the prey.
Just like that he'd switched on her. She'd gotten
what she'd wanted.
Her heart pounded against her chest and dampness
soaked her knickers. How could his obvious anger turn her on so much?
"You want a bit of rough? You want me to fuck
you, is that it?"
Shocked by his language, her words choked in her
throat. No one had ever spoken to her in that manner. She clamped her thighs
together, wanting to relief the building pressure.
"No, you don't," he gritted out as he
leaned over and tapped her thigh with his knuckles. "Keep your legs
apart."
She complied without understanding why he'd made the
demand, only knowing she'd do whatever he asked, if it'd give her what she
craved. Him fucking her hard and fast.
She’d taunted him for that reason. If it would drive
away the ache in her heart for a little while, then she’d take it no matter how
rough it was.
"Answer my question," he said, the
calmness in his deep voice belying the passion in his dark eyes.
"Yes," her voice was a soft husky whisper,
her body trembling with her own increasing desire.
"Say it, Tari," he commanded.
