Excerpt:
That
does it for me.
The
idea that someone is hurting her causes a rage I’ve only ever felt once before
in my life to flow through my entire body. I clench my fists and decide now is
the moment I confront her. Is there another asshole bothering her now? Did her
douchebag ex make an appearance? I will fucking end whoever did this to her. I
know without asking that Jake would have my back on that move. I’d be willing
to bet money Ron would as well. It takes every ounce of strength I have, but I
wait until the night is a little closer to being over before snatching her arm
and pulling her through the doorway into the dark kitchen. I spin her around to
the wall beside the doorway, leaning down so we’re face to face, eye to eye.
“You’re
gonna tell me what the fuck is going on, and you’re gonna tell me right the
fuck now. Is someone hurting you? Why are your knuckles all bruised? You been
fighting?” I fire off everything at once, realizing I sound like a nagging
girlfriend, but I need to know she’s okay. I NEED to get this off my chest.
Bree
sighs deeply, her warm breath fanning across my neck, making me aware of our
proximity. I have her pinned to the wall, my left hand is still gripping her
shoulder, and my right hand is on the wall above her head. I’m being a bastard,
and using my size to cage her in. I watch her closely for signs of fear, but
she almost looks bored, and mostly just annoyed. I know she can still refuse to
answer, but I’ll be damned if she gets away from me until I have my say.
She
raises her eyes to give me an angry glare and I feel my dick twitch. Seeing
fire in her eyes as opposed to the sadness they always carry makes her ten
times hotter. Fuck, I’m an asshole. Something is seriously wrong with her, and
I’m standing here getting turned on.
“I’ve
just had a lot on my mind. I’ve been…training. You know exercising and punching
a bag. That’s why my knuckles are bruised.” She raises an eyebrow at me, daring
me to question her more. I smirk down at her…she has no idea who she’s messing
with.
“You
need to wear gloves then. You’re going to ruin your beautiful hands. You’re not
actually sparring are you? ”I ask, my voice deeper than I intended. I’ve never
been this close to her before, and my dick is currently trying to punch its way
out of my zipper to reach her.
She
glances down, and I have a moment of horror when I realize there is no way
she’s going to miss my erection. I’m a healthy boy, and my jeans were already
on the tight side. Her breath hitches, and she jerks her eyes back up to meet
mine.
When
I see the heat in her eyes, I swear I almost come in my pants like a teenager.
Bree is fucking turned on by me. I can work with this. Letting go of her
shoulder, I put my hand on the wall, completely closing her in, and lower my
head towards hers.
“I
don’t fool around with Ron’s guys,” she says softly, making no move to avoid my
quickly approaching lips.
“Good
thing I’m not one then,” I say, my mouth forming a smirk. I’m now so close to
her lips I can feel their warmth on my own.
“YO
BREE, where ya at?” I hear Jake yell from outside the door. His voice is like a
splash of cold water, causing me to jerk back, and the moment is gone.
“My
brother is an asshole,” I grumble, lowering my hands to adjust my erection, and
backing further away from her.
“Your
brother just stopped me from making a stupid mistake,” she says, before walking
out of the door.
