“Whatever. If we have nothing else to talk about, I’d better go find Laura.” She stepped towards the door.
All right, I fucking deserved this, I was being an arsehole, but I felt so fucking lost and betrayed. All my plans and the memories of what happened between us were suddenly shattered.
“No, we are not done talking, Veronica,” I snapped and took a step towards her. There was no way I would let her leave. I needed to know what her roommate was doing babysitting my niece.
“All right, Rupert, I don’t want to fight with you. I told you I’m going to take the video down, so there are no further issues. What else do you want from me?” She gave me a fiery side look.
I needed to keep myself in line because this whole situation could blow up easily. Anyone from the press could connect the dots and dig further, and that would cause a lot of problems for Spencer.
“I want you to quit working for Emperor, Veronica, we both know you don’t belong there,” I said. I had no idea where this even came from, but suddenly I couldn’t fucking bear the fact that other men had access to her, that they could pay to fuck her. She’d begun hunting my dreams the moment I’d buried my face in her soaking pussy and made her scream my name. The quicker she understood that, the better.
She turned to face me and laughed right at me.
“You cannot be serious? You want me to stop working for what reason, exactly? Because we know each other? Because you fucked me two years ago? Do you even hear yourself right now? Rowab will flip if he hears this.” She shook her head like she couldn’t believe that I’d even dared to suggest such a thing.
She took a step closer to me, and I took one back. My back hit the door.
She leaned in and added, “Maybe I should just repeat what I said to your brother. I don’t fucking care if you’re the King of England, I’m not going to leave just because we had a mediocre one-night stand a while back."
I scoffed, anger rising. What the fuck did she just say to me?
“Mediocre? I thought you used words like ‘incredible’ and ‘unforgettable’ earlier on, Veronica.” I leaned closer to her so our faces were only inches apart. I was so fucking hard, ready to turn her around, rip her panties off, and fuck her against the wall until she walked like a cowgirl afterwards. But, that wasn’t such a wise idea.
“I’ve slept with plenty of rich, successful, and extremely satisfying men since you, and trust me—”
“Veronica, I’m warning you, choose your words wisely, or the next client you sleep with? They might wake up with his manhood ripped off,” I grabbed her waist and pulling her towards me, staring directly into her eyes. I had a raging hard-on and she could likely feel it probing her between her legs. She needed to understand that she was mine. I don’t fucking share. She had to quit working in Emperor.
“My, my, you’re really something else, Rupert. You can’t make any claims towards me, because I have never been yours. We had sex once, and now I’m working for you, so get used to it. I’m not going to quit- not now, not ever,” she replied with a smile, but there was an edge in her tone, a tension. It was really funny she thought she had a choice in this matter.
“We will see about that, my sweet peach, because you became mine the moment I claimed your weeping, soaked pussy two years ago. Think whatever you want, but listen to me carefully. I don’t fucking share, not now, not ever. And if I find you in the arms of another man, I’m going to remove him from this earth permanently,” I opened the door. I was too worked up to carry on talking to her and I needed to leave before I did something I would deeply regret later.
“What? You’re delusional! And just where the fuck do you think you’re going? We haven’t finished this conversation yet, so don’t you dare walk away from me, Rupert,” she shouted after me.
I laughed, although deep inside I was raging. I wanted to show her how much she infuriated me by thrusting my cock deep into her throat until she choked on it. I wanted to make tears stream down her face right in this moment. At least that would shut her up for a while.
“Take the video down, Veronica, and tell your roommate not to get used to Maja. She doesn’t fit Banks’s life. She’s a liability,” I yelled back as I walked away.
But she didn’t seem to get the message as she started following me.
“Oh, my God, you’re the most infuriating man I ever met, you’re the worst!” she rushed out in a heated string.
“Maybe,” I said shrugging my shoulders. “But you can’t deny it that I own your cunt, and you’re dripping for me right fucking now.”
Chapter Seven
Veronica
“That’s not true!” I lied. Seeing him this worked up was doing something to me. “Oh, and you’re a fucking arsehole!” I shouted after him as he walked through another set of doors, vanishing from sight. I stamped my foot like a petulant child. I wanted to run after him, but I had my pride and didn’t want to make this about him.
A waitress stared at me for a few seconds,visibly puzzled. I smiled at her, although I’d never been so furious in my life. Rupert knew exactly how to rile me up.
Standing there, trying to catch my breath, I knew I had to get back downstairs and find Laura. The one thing Rupert was right about was the fact that I was indeed wet for him. Fuck, I was actually dripping... The memories of our night together overshadowed everything. I’d wanted him to make a move so bad, to lose his cool, to fuck me until I couldn’t stand it.
“Damn you, there is no way you will ever own me,” I swore to myself and then barged through the door, getting back to the loud club.
I was so upset and angry that he’d treated me this way, that he was judging the choices I’d had to make. This guy didn’t know anything about me. He didn’t know what I had gone through when I was younger. My mother worked really hard because she didn’t want to take handouts from the government. She left me stuck at home alone, all the time, just to work and kill herself over it. It took me years to finally learn how to love myself.
Several moments later, I stood by the toilets, tears streaming down my cheeks. I had no idea why I was even crying. Rupert was the man from my past, the guy I’d slept with while on holiday— a one-night stand that didn’t mean anything. How could the universe be so cruel? I wanted to find Rowan and talk to him, but then someone put a hand on my arm. I turned around. It was Laura. Shit, she had never really seen me crying or breaking down before. I needed to pull myself together quickly.
