“If I have to wait, you’ll be sorry.” He slowly arches an eyebrow.
Heat runs up my spine, sending the little hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end.
“Fine.” I shove back off the bed and move to where he wants me, then I take a large step back. He can’t have every inch.
He drops his hand and smiles. “That wasn’t so bad, right?”
“What do you want?” I ask, glancing at the window. The sun is gone now, casting the sky into darkness. The bed table lamps must be on a timer, because they’ve flickered to life.
“Are you okay? Anything hurt?” He grabs my shoulders and turns me every which way, looking me over.
“I told you I was fine before, and I still am,” I remind him, but he’s overprotective and inspects my arms and my leg where the blood splatter had been.
“You could have gotten hurt.” His tone turns accusatory.
“So could you. They were hiding in the bathroom; they could have surprised you.”
He grabs hold of my chin between his fingers and pulls me toward him. His grip is strong enough I have to take a step in his direction to keep up with my own face.
Jakub lowers his lips to a breath length away from mine. “You worried about me?”
I stare into his eyes, captivated by the desire burning bright in his molten blue eyes. “I wouldn’t want you to get hurt.”
His full lips spread wide. “Good to know. We’ll see if you think the same way after.”
Before I can ask him what he means, he moves his hand around my neck up into my hair, fisting it at my scalp. I try to swat his hand away, but he’s got me twisted around, facing away from him and he shoves me forward.
For the second time today, I’m frog-walked across the room. Only this time, there’s no true fear bubbling in my belly.
When we get to the bed, he shoves me over the side until my cheek is pressed into the bedding.
“Jakub. You can’t do this.” I swing my arm behind me. Easily, he snatches it up and pins it to the small of my back.
“Seems right now I can do whatever I want.”
“Don’t you dare.” I try to shove my way up with one hand but he’s too strong and too determined.
“Relax, I’m trying to help you.” He trails his hand between my legs, working his way up to my wet pussy. I squeeze my legs together. He can’t see how turned on my body is right now. I have to protect what little dignity I have at the moment.
But this isn’t his first time.
Deftly, he gets his fingers exactly where I want them but wish I didn’t. Two fingers plunge into my pussy, and I freeze beneath his grip.
“Ah, see, that’s what I thought.” He pumps his fingers in and out of me while I squeeze my eyes shut and try to will my body into obeying me and not him. But that’s never worked before when it came to Jakub. And he’s become more confident.
“Now that I have your attention, Nicole, I’m going to give you the ground rules here.” He plunges both fingers in hard and deep before bending them at the knuckle and stroking the most sensitive spot in my body. I melt into the bed; all my muscles go weak.
He’s paying attention and must know he has me exactly where he wants me, because he lets my arm go.
“You’re going to let me help you with this mess you’re in.” He removes his fingers and before I can complain, he rips my pajama shorts down to my knees.
“I already said I’d stay here a few days,” I try to reason with him, but the jangling of his belt tells me it’s not working.
“And while you are staying with me, you’ll do what I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you.” His belt rips free of his jeans in one sharp swish sound.
The sound not only makes my pussy clench, it gets my brain to wake the hell up. I launch myself forward trying to scramble away from him, but he must have been prepared for it. He grabs my hips and pulls me back right where he had me.
My body goes rigid, expecting the belt to lay into me, but instead he grabs both of my wrists and works the belt around them. Around and around, he wraps it until he’s able to work the end into the buckle. And like the shocked idiot I seem to be, I just lie there and let him do it.
