Page 69 of Sinful Desires

“Hurry up,” Collin said, striding up to me.

Tilting my head to look up at him, I narrowed my eyes. My entire body felt weak from all the exercise and all I wanted was to take a shower and then sleep.

“Fuck off.” Standing upright, I shot him a dirty look before turning my back on him. He was an idiot if he thought I was going anywhere with him.

“Haven’t you learned by now?” he questioned in a condescending tone as he followed after me.

“Learned what?” I countered. “That you’re an insane piece of shit who can’t handle a one-night-stand properly?”

He growled, grabbing me by the arm and turning me to face him. My chest was still heaving from all the running, and the last thing I felt like doing was fighting. His grip on my arm was firm, but not tight like Hunter’s had been.

“I can handle a one-night stand just fine.”

I rolled my eyes. “Sure. Whatever you say.” My gaze dropped down to where his hand was latched to my arm and anger flooded my system.

I was tired of them thinking they could manhandle me like this and get away with it. I wasn’t their fucking toy, or pet. Before I had time to talk myself out of it, I twisted my arm in his grip, forcing his wrist to bend at an awkward angle and leaving him no choice but to let go.

A curse left him as he lunged for me again, but I leapt back, preventing him from doing so. If they wanted to control me, it wasn’t going to happen so easily.

“Touch me again, and I’ll scream,” I warned, taking a step back to put more distance between us.

He rolled his eyes as if I was the one being problematic. I just wanted to be left alone. Was that too much to ask for? A few girls chose that moment to walk by and they gave him a flirty wave and suggestive smiles, which he obviously entertained by winking at them.

He wasn’t that great.

Sure, he had like an eight-pack and his skin was this unusual golden color that complimented his light brown hair and eyes. His teeth were so white and contrasted against his skin tone and it made him look like a fucking model.

“You don’t want me to force you,” he snarled, the sound sending a direct shiver to my core.

Okay, so maybe I wasn’t much different than the girls that went here and fantasized about fucking Collin Walker, because despite everything he and his friends did to me, despite the things he said to me, there were still moments I found myself wanting him. However, I wasn’t pathetic enough to pine after him after seeing his true colors.

I had no doubt in my mind that Collin had the power to make my life a living hell. Only, I intended on returning the favor.

With that thought in mind, a slow smirk stretched across my face. “Eat my dick,” I retorted before spinning on my heels again and stomping toward the gym. I needed to get dressed into something warmer. A T-shirt and shorts weren’t going to cut it, and luckily, I had an outfit packed in my bag.

Just as I entered the gym and scooped up my bag, it was ripped from my grasp and thrown over Collin’s shoulder. His glare was lethal as he peered down at me, and for some reason in my fucked up mind, he looked even sexier when he looked at me like he wanted me dead.

Before I could even think about making demands, he grabbed me and tossed me over his shoulder like I was nothing but a sack of potatoes. A surprised gasp fluttered past my lips .

“Collin,” I grounded out through gritted teeth. “Put me the fuck down.”

Luckily the gym was mostly vacant and there were only a few people littering the building. But that was enough to send heat flooding through my cheeks. A few girls on the far end of the gym snickered and pulled out their phones so they could take pictures. When my eyes locked with Jessica’s, her eyes narrowed into slits as she pulled out her phone and snapped a photo, which she’d probably be sending to her friend.

Once we got back outside, the cold air seeped into the skin of my bare legs and sent goosebumps pricking through my body.

“Collin,” I repeated louder as I started struggling against him. Without a warning, his hand came down hard on my ass eliciting a yelp of shock, pain, and then arousal.

Fuck my life.

It wasn’t the fact that we ended up on my floor that shocked me. Nope. It was when we ended up at my door. Collin urged me to grab an outfit and said that I could shower in his room. So, that’s what I was doing. It felt weird being back in here after everything.

I took a quick shower, not wanting to be in here any longer than necessary. Images of our night together were already entering my headspace and I clenched my teeth in frustration. He was so rough. So… dominating. I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t want more. But I didn’t want to want more.

A knock sounded on the other side of the door as I hugged the towel around my body. Water dripped from my hair to my shoulders and down my chest. “Are you almost done in there?” he called; his tone full of annoyance.

I didn’t bother replying as I worked to dry myself off. When I was done with that, I tugged on my maroon-colored leggings and a black crop top with spaghetti straps and paired them with my black combat boots. My leather jacket officially needed to be washed, so it was currently on top of the pile of clothes in my closet.

Stepping out of the bathroom, I wasn’t surprised to see Collin already standing there. “So, what’s the plan?” I challenged as I drifted past him into the room. “Are you all just going to take turns babysitting me or something?”
