He shook his head.“You’re my woman, aren’t you?”
She stuck her nose in the air.“I don’t know right now.I’ll have to think about it.”
She knew she’d said the wrong thing when he growled and headed toward her.She ran to the other side of the table and faced him.
He leaned forward, flattened his hands on the table, and glared at her.
“Would you like to say that again, sweetheart?”
Emma swallowed and lifted her chin.“No.You heard me the first time.”She stifled a scream when he came across the table so fast, she could not move quickly enough.He lifted her and pressed her against the wall.He used his hips to widen her legs to make a place for himself against her already aching pulse point between her thighs.
He held her hands above her head.“Say it again,” he growled.
She opened and shut her mouth before she shook her head.
“Goddamn, woman.I’m not sure what I should do with you right now.”
She looked up into his eyes.“You don’t have to do anything...”
“Tell me why you haven’t told Trent?”
“One of the letters said it would put him in danger.I tried everything I could to protect him.”
“Jesus, Emma.I’m not sure if Trent will be pissed or hurt that you didn’t come to him.”
She felt tears sting her eyes and tried to push them back.“Damon, he’s the only family I have left.I can’t lose him.”
“How will it affect him if he loses you?”he asked.
Emma looked away.She was ashamed she hadn’t considered it.
Damon sighed.“Now, let’s talk about me.Why didn’t you tell me right away?”
“You’d just got home, and you’d been injured.You were just getting back to us.When the letter came, it reinforced my decision to keep you safe, too.”
He cupped her face in one hand while he kept her arms pinned above her head.“If I ever hear of you trying to deal with something that could harm you, I swear to God, you won’t be able to sit for days, and I’ll keep you tied to the bed until whatever it is resolved.”
“Hey!Now, wait a damn minute...”
“Emma, you knew I was a Dom forever.You knew what it would be like to be my woman, and you accepted that.Now, you need to deal with the consequences, my little sub.”
Her words were cut off when he took her mouth with a kiss so possessive and hard it bruised her lips and drove her already aching body to a whole new level.She heard a moan and couldn’t tell if it was him or her.
“Did you lie about your period?”he asked, studying her.
She nodded.“It was the only thing I could think of at the time.”
“You’ll never be able to do that again because I’ll keep track of them.”
She didn’t know how she felt about that, but then her thoughts scattered when she felt him pull up her skirt and rip her panties away.“Hey, what are you doing?”
“I’m reminding you who you belong to,” he growled.
She felt his hand between her legs, trying to open his jeans.It took a little maneuvering, but he got it done.She was able to feel the head of his penis slide between her pussy lips and then an inch into her.
“Remember, you can’t make a sound, or we’ll have ten cops busting through the door.”
It was getting hard to concentrate on his words.Oh, God.She’d never get over the embarrassment if that happened.“Wait, how am I going to do that?”
