Page 78 of Dirty Eoin

She ignores my question. We both already know the answer.

“What do you want, Eoin?”

“Do you want me to start reciting things off in explicit detail, Jaine?” I half-smile as I raise an eyebrow at her.

She doesn’t want to know what I want from her right now because most of it is downright degrading and involves her being on her knees. My dick’s already twitching at the thought.

She doesn’t reply.

“Aren’t you at least going to offer me a drink?”

“If I must.”

My eyes drift over her slim shape as she proceeds to open the drinks cabinet in the far corner of the room. She doesn’t ask me what I want. She already knows.

She passes me the glass. I deliberately let our fingers touch, and she jerks her hand away.

I’m clearly affecting her. And badly.

“Did you put anything in it?”

“A little water. Trust me, if I wanted you dead, I’d put a bullet in your head.”

I laugh. “So, you think yourself quite the marksman.”

“I don’t think. I know.”

“Not joining me?” I hold up the glass then toss the amber liquid back in one.

“I prefer to keep my wits about me.”

“Around me?”

Again, she doesn’t reply.

“Do you think me a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Jaine?”

She laughs. “No. You don’t even bother trying to hide what you are anymore.”

“And what is that exactly?”

“A monster.”

“Is that because you’ve seen the other side of me now?”

Once more, she doesn’t reply.

“Come now, Jaine. I’m the future Da Duster. I have a dark side with an unquenchable thirst for violence. Surely that’s to be expected given what I do for a living. But that can’t be intimidating to someone like you. You were in a relationship with Razr for four years. You also went toe to toe with my da.”

“It was different.”

“Why was it?”

“It just was. Look, just cut to the chase, Eoin. What is it that you want?”

I place the empty glass on the floor, then stand and walk slowly toward her. Her heart is pounding. I can see its forceful beat in her throat.

“What do I want? Well, you may think me deserving of nothing from you, Mrs. O’Connell, but as your husband, I demand everything.”
