“You know what the most annoying thing is? That you don’t even know what the fucking problem is!” she hisses.
Something happened… I study her gorgeous face, caressingher waist, trying to soothe the fiery kitten in my lap.
No matter how angry she is – although she looks damn sexy pissed off – I don’t like her being annoyed with me. And something I’ve done has triggered her immensely.
Her death glare only gets worse as she tries shoving my hands off, but I don’t remove them, simply stroking her waist slowly, teasingly. Her heart pounds and she tenses under my touch.
“Then tell me, come on. I’m backing down. I can’t fix it if I don’t know what I’ve done. You got to meet me here, Red, give me something,” I say tersely. As an alpha, backing down is a completely foreign aspect to me, but for some fuckingcrazyreason, I’m doing just that. I’m trying.
My words seem to surprise her too, and her heart skips a beat as she relaxes slightly.
“This is my issue.” She’s looking down at me and grabs my t-shirt from the collar, tugging it forward roughly. I frown, wondering what the hell she’s going on about and look down.
Fuck…
There on my shirt is a smear of red lipstick and I quickly put two-and-two together.
Fiona.
So she’s been worked up over me having another woman’s lips on me?
“That’s not what it looks like. But wait, why do you care?” I ask, smirking. Is she jealous?
“Because even if the option you put on the table is purely sexual, I demand some respect. If you want me, then there can’t be any other woman in that span of time. I know your past Elijah. You’ve fucked more than one girl on the same day and Fiona’s seemingly been okay with it, so are all the rest of your fucks, but I’m different.” Her eyes flash and I cock a brow, allowing her to continue because I can tell she’s far from done.All that bottled-up anger is now coming out.
I know you’re different…
“I am not the type of she-wolf who’s going to cry in a corner because the precious Alpha just uses her as one of his side pieces, nor am I going to drop to the level where I will allow you to be with other women at the same time as me. I demand respect. If you want me to even consider the deal, then let me make one thing clear,f it’s either only me or you can forget about it,” she says icily.
My smirk is only growing with every word that leaves her lips.
Goddess, is she sexy.Something about her strong personality is a fucking turn-on. Leaning forward, I drag my lips down her neck before I kiss the corner of her neck, making her tense.
Hearing her racing heart, I continue my tantalising assault, placing soft, sizzling, teasing kisses up her neck until my lips brush the lobe of her ear. Her scent filling my nose.
“I know you’re not like the rest. That’s one of the reasons I find you so fucking sexy…” I murmur, making her shiver. My hand strokes her waist, while the other now caresses her ass as I force myself back. Her straddling me is only making me want to fuck her right here. It is taking a lot not to get hard, although I am failing considerably. “This morning, when I went to the packhouse, Fiona was in my office. Nothing happened. She tried to come on to me and I told her I’m not interested – that there’s someone else on my mind,” I admit, surprising myself that I am even bothering to explain whilst running my fingers through her hair.
Our eyes meet and I see the flicker of surprise in them before she pouts, tossing her hair back.
“How do I know you’re telling the truth?” she asks in a much more mellow tone, although she’s trying to brush it off.
I smirk. She is kind of cute when she is obviously feeling bad.The urge to tease her is oh so tempting and I am not going to pass up on it.
“Well… if I was lying, I don’t think I would have been jerking off at the thought of you the other night in the shower after I paid her a visit. Don’t you think?” I ask mockingly, satisfied when a light blush graces her cheeks. Her gorgeous, now green eyes are wide as she stares at me.
“Wait, what? You mean… that night you were thinking of… me?” She sounds stunned, almost in disbelief. She opens her mouth before she closes it again and I smirk, observing her as she struggles internally. “So that means you’ve been having dirty thoughts about me, huh?”
“For longer than you know, Red,” I reply huskily.
Her heart thumps and she cups my face, her gaze dipping to my lips. “Good. Keep it that way,” she whispers seductively before she leans in and claims my lips in a hungry, passionate kiss, sending a rocket of pleasure through me whilst shocking me at her sudden move.
It only takes me a fraction of a second to get over my shock, before I am kissing her back with equal passion and hunger. Our lips move in sync, both of us fighting for control with our tongues whilst our lips continue playing with the others.
A soft moan escapes Scarlett as she presses herself down against me, grinding sensually on my dick. Pleasure and desire course through us and I suck on her tongue before exploring her sweet mouth, revelling in the pleasure along with the fact she kissed me first.
The kiss speaks louder than words, giving me the answer to the offer I gave her last night.
We kiss until we need air and only then do we break away. Breathing hard I continue to kiss her down her neck, sucking hard at the most sensitive corner, the place her mate will one day mark her.Her mate.
