I close my eyes and lose myself in the sensation, feeling nothing but him and this moment.

But then he releases me and I climb down from the high.

Raw humiliation weighs down on me. Humiliation over his knowledge that I wanted him.

Thorne rises, keeping his gaze on me, and I pull up the sheets to cover myself.

He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and continues staring, watching my heaving chest.

“See why I can’t leave you alone, Bambi? We have unfinished business.” He smirks and licks his lips.

“No, we don’t.”

“Your greedy pussy says different.”

“You broke into my room and violated me.”

He laughs. “Did I? You didn’t sound violated to me, but maybe I should do it again. We can check this time to see just how violated you feel.”

“No.”

“You sure? You don’t look sure.”

“I’m sure.”

My skin is so hot I’m finding it difficult to breathe let alone find words to defend my dignity. And I’m watching him. Watching him to see what he’ll do next.

He leans close. Too close again.

He looms before my lips and brushes his nose over mine.

“I’m sure, too. I’m sure that I want to fuck you.” A sadistic grin creeps over his face. “But let’s play.”

He inches back, straightens, and walks out of the room through the door I closed and out of my apartment that I locked.

I stay right where I am, shaking to the core of my soul.

It hits me moments later what’s happening here.

It’s a game.

This is all a game to him. He’s mentioned playing twice now, and right from the moment I met him I felt like I’ve been in some kind of arena where I’m being hunted.

Hunted by him.

When I first thought of him as a predator, I was right.

And I’m his prey.

Chapter 10

Ivy

Several hours passed before I finally fell asleep last night, but I still woke up early. Thankfully not crack-of-dawn early, but still early enough to feel like I needed to go back to sleep.

It’s eight in the morning.

The Thetas have a meeting after breakfast so I get up.
