I returned with both, one in each hand.

She stood in my sparsely furnished living room, breathing heavily, fury wafting off of her in waves.

But I could see how she pressed her thighs together and the way her nipples poked out from her cropped sweater.

Oh, she hated me just a little bit right now. But she also loved me. And she wanted the shite out of me.

I grinned at her and held out both bottles. “You pick,neighbour.”

“What are you doing, Liam?” she said through gritted teeth, her glare boring right through me.

I set down both bottles and walked right up to her as close as I could without touching her. My shadow loomed above hers on the floor, across the couch, up onto the wall.

This was important.

And she needed to hear me.

So I wasn’t past using my size to intimidate her just a little.

“I’ll tell you what I’m doing,” I said, my voice darker than it was before. “You may be fine taking it slow, but I amnot. You can stall with Rian, but I amnotgoing to let you stall with me. Not anymore. I’m done waiting for what I want. I’m taking it.”

Her chest still rose and fell too heavily as if catching her breath was difficult. Her pupils blown out so wide they were practically black with hate and need all mixed in at once, the most intoxicating combination.

“I wantyou, Ry.”

Her shuddering exhales were hot around my jaw.

“If you sink in your heels, I’ll throw you over my shoulder. If you pull your foot off the gas, I’ll drag you out of the driver’s seat. Throw you in the fucking trunk if I have to. If you think we’re going to take this race at a nice, easy pace, I’m going to push you till your lungs are burning, screaming,aching.”

Silence filled the apartment, except for the small fire crackling in my gas fireplace, making our stuttered breathing all too loud.

A full-body shiver coursed through Ry. I felt it like a pebble on a railroad track. Something was coming.

I grinned. Yeah, she would be coming around my cock.

I lunged for her, tearing her pretty cropped black sweater off her as she fought me. A pleased smile crossed my lips as I found Ry wasn’t wearing panties as I ripped off her skirt too.

“No panties. Such a naughty neighbour.”

“Liam,” she cried out, slapping my arms. Shaking my head, I pinned her arms to her sides as I admired her naked beauty.

“Mine,” I said before I pulled her against me, kissing her, claiming her.

I was fucking done waiting. I wouldn’t be denied any longer.

She gasped when I shoved her forward violently, folded her over at the edge of the couch.

“You need to learn I’ll always get what I want,” I rumbled, releasing my cock and kicking off my pants. “I’m going to pump you so full of my cum you’ll never run from me again.”

“What? I’ll fall pregnant,” she cried out over her shoulder.

I tugged my shirt off me and advanced on her delicious ass up in the air for me.

“That is the point, baby.”

“No.” She clambered over the couch, struggling to get away from me. I grunted as she kicked at me. Scrambling away, she stumbled to her feet.

She glanced at the door behind me. But I was between it and her and she was naked.
