Page 116 of My Ruthless Opponent

“Good.” Staring into my defiant eyes and with a wicked smirk on his lips, Raleigh adjusts his grip on me. He slips a hand under my knees and lifts me in his arms and pivots toward the steps of the pool.

Not wanting to lose my balance, I curl my hands around his neck.

He sits me on the step which is just above the surface of the water.

I place my palms on the marble step. The position makes me a bit squirmy because my crotch is at his eye level. I clamp my thighs together.

For a moment, Raleigh just watches me. His gaze is unhurried as he drinks in the sight of my bikini-clad body.

Unconsciously, my eyes rove over his bare chest before straying down to his washboard abs that are half-submerged in the water.

His eyes travel up to me and pin me in place. “Do you remember what I said earlier?” He asks in a husky voice.

I shake my head slowly.

“I want to taste your anger.”

My pulse starts throbbing when he takes my ankle in his hand. “Will you?” He stares up at me with heated eyes.

“Will I what?” My voice is low.

“Will you let me suck on your cunt?”

My hands fly up to cover my face. Jesus, he is so crass. I can’t believe I am acting shy right now. My face is burning.

“Are you a prude, princess?” The taunting tone makes me lower my hands. I glare at him.

“I am not a prude, jerk.” I retort.

“Prove it. Slide that piece of cloth hiding your pussy to the side and ask me to lick it.” His mouth curls up in a wicked smirk.

I shiver as he parts my legs and trails his fingertips up slowly.

God, I am wet. His dirty, dirty mouth is making me wet and angry all at once.

I pant as his mouth follows the path his fingers just drew on one of my legs. I spread them more, urging him to reach up and kiss the part where I am aching.

I lean back on my palms and close my eyes as he twists his head to press his lips against my left ankle before leaving open-mouthed kisses up my knee. He stops at my upper thigh again.

I bite down on my lip when he finally inches up, kissing his way up my inner thigh.

My mouth hangs open when he bites down on the flesh.

“I’ve been dying to lick your pussy all day.” I open my eyes on a gasp.

“But I won’t touch it until you ask me to.”

Keeping his eyes locked on mine, he twists his head to nibble on my inner thigh again before sucking the flesh in his mouth.

I was past the point of thinking. All I could do is feel his mouth on me. And I wanted more of it. I’m soaked by his words and might come if he didn’t stop talking like that.

He pulls back slowly to look at me. “What’s it going to be, princess?” His thumbs draw slow circles over my inner thighs as he waits for my response.

Water droplets are sluicing from his tantalizing tendrils and down his body. I can’t look away from his bewitching blue eyes even if I tried to.

I want this man. My enemy who’s slowly worming his way inside the closed doors of my heart.

I lean forward, run my hand through his hair, tugging it to tip his head.
