Page 7 of Primal God

“Want to know what I think, Dr. Santos? I think you liked seeing mybig titsbouncing all over the place. I think you liked it so much that you went to your room and rubbed one out while thinking of me.”

His nostrils flare, but I’m not done.

“I think you wished you were the one in the pool and that’s what really bothers you.”

“You don’t know shit,” he says, taking a step away from me. “Next time, be mindful of who might be around. And next time, don’t leave your panties on my patio.”

“Yes, Daddy,” I answer sweetly.

The moment the word leaves my lips, a primal look crosses his face.

“Careful, little girl. My resolve can only last for so long before it snaps.”

He moves closer, so his body presses against mine. But what I notice is that hiserectionpresses against my stomach… My gaze snaps to his. Holy shit. He’s hard!

“And I can promise you don’t want that to happen.”

My lips part as I stare up at him. Warring emotions and thoughts make my head spin. There’s a part of me that wants to push his buttons and see just how far he’ll go. But then I think of João and what that would mean for us. So, I step away until there’s a good distance between the two of us.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

The tension is still thick between the two of us. If I stay in here, there’s no telling what I’m liable to say…or do.

“Tell João I’ll be waiting for him outside.”

“It’s too hot to wait out there,” he snaps.

“I’ll be fine,” I say, as I sling my bag over my shoulder.

He’s watching me with a brooding look on his face as I pass him, going outside.

As soon as I step onto the porch, a different heat licks my skin. I bite back a groan. I’m going to be a sweating mess by the time João gets out here, but at least I won’t have to be around Dr. Santos in all his sexy, infuriating glory.

At least I’ve solved the mystery of where my panties went.

I should have asked for them back, I think with a snort.

I settle onto the bench with padded cushions and pull out my phone, opening my reading app. Might as well dive into theromance I’ve been wanting to read. My phone buzzes before I can even swipe to the next page.

João

What the hell, babe?

???

My dad just stormed up here and said I needed to hurry because you were outside. What’s going on?

Nothing. Just needed to clear my head.

But it’s like a hundred degrees out there.

I’m fine. Don’t rush on my account.

Are you going to come in to eat?

I’m not hungry.

That’s not a lie. I don’t have an appetite after that brief confrontation with Dr. Santos.
