“You’re bossy,” she huffs, raising her chin. The casino lights sparkle across her cheek, giving me another peek of the freckles she covered up with makeup. I want to wipe it away. I want her bared to me. To see every single inch of her. Ace has no idea how fucking sexy she is.

“And you’re a brat.”

“I am not.” She pouts, her eyebrows furrowed together, making her look even more desirable.

“And a liar,” I add. She glares at me but doesn’t deny it. I’ll take it as long as the fear is gone. Normally I relish in such a reaction. Not with her. I want her eyes to flare with desire for me. “Now walk.” I give her ass a small smack. She jumps but starts to walk. I pull her back into my side. She elbows me and mutters about me being hard. If she only fucking knew.

“People are staring at us.”

“Then don’t wear that fucking dress.” While she looks stunning, I hate that people are staring at what is mine. But I do relish the fact that everyone is now seeing her leave with me which will immediately send the message that she’s off-limits. No one would dare to touch what they thought was mine.

“It’s not my dress, and others are worse.” She motions to one of the show girls in the middle of the walkway taking pictures with tourists. “They’re staring because of you.”

“Good.”

“Good? I’ll never be able to count in the town again if people know I’m connected to you.”

“Trust me. People are already whispering about you and not because of me. But now the word will spread.”

I usher her toward the SUV. I wave Noah off, opening the door for her myself. She pauses at the door.

“You’re really not going to hurt me?” All of her bravado falters. Her age is showing. I can’t help myself. I reach out and cup her cheek. She tilts her head, leaning into my touch. Her body is drawn to mine. She might fear me some, but her body knows who she belongs to.

“I vow to you that I will never hurt you. You have my word.” She swallows, her eyes searching my face.

“Why?”

“Because you're mine.” I drop my hand, giving her ass a pat. “Now get in.” She does as she’s told. “Have you eaten?” Ace shakes her head no. I shut the door. “The diner,” I tell Noah before I round the SUV to get into the other side. I place my hand on her bare thigh.

“I’m not going home, am I?”

“No, we’re getting dinner.”

“Then what?”

“Depends.” I stroke my fingers up and down the inside of her thigh. Her legs part slightly. I’m not sure she knows she even did it.

“On?”

“Let’s eat first.” She huffs out a breath, pretending to be annoyed. I slip my fingers farther up her dress until I feel her panties.

“Bo?” She presses her thighs together, locking my hand between them. Not that it matters. I’m around where I want to be. I keep tracing the edge of her panties with my finger.

“Hmm?”

“Don’t play dumb. You know what.”

“You want me to stop?” I grab her chin, making her stare into my eyes. Her cheeks turn pink. She’s so innocent even if she tries to pretend that she’s not. Her eyes dart to the side towards Noah. “On me,” I snap out, wanting her attention back.

“Yes.”

“Yes, what?” I dip my finger inside finding her wet for me. So many thoughts cross my mind in an instant. Me pushing her panties to the side and rubbing her little clit until she’s screaming my name, me ripping those panties off and dropping to my knees to bury my face in her little cunt. I push them aside for my own sanity. I quickly get myself under control.

“Yes. I want you to stop.”

“Liar.” I kiss her. I have to taste her again. Since the second she left my sight, I’ve needed her again. I have grown more restless with each new piece of information I learned about her. Then, I felt fear. It’s not something I’ve felt since I was a kid. I had to get to her before anyone else did. Make sure she was safe.

It’s not a soft kiss. I claim her mouth hard. A small gasp leaves her. Her hands go to my chest. She doesn’t push me away. She digs her fingers into me. Still holding her chin, it gives me full control of her. I pull down, making her lips part for me. I deepen the kiss, my tongue stroking hers.
