“Uhm… uh… I was looking for…” I finish my sentence in a whisper, incapable of doing anything but quake under his furious glare. “... Aurora.”
God, I could kick myself. It pisses me off so much that I’m giving in to my fear.
Fuck him!
He stands up and walks toward me.
“Well, she’s here. So get the fuck back inside and put something on.” He lowers his voice and adds, “Whore.”
I’ve gotten called worse, and yet that word, after everything that’s happened yesterday, makes me go ballistic.
“Asshole! Fucking asshole!”
I don’t even realize I’m dropping my sheet on the ground, stark-naked as I close the distance between us to raise my hands and shove at his chest.
The moment I do, I realize that wasnota good idea. If he looked dangerous before, it’s nothing compared to the way he glares at me now.
Slowly, he takes the sheet from the ground and wraps it around me. Then, keeping his cold eyes on me, he calls out, “Everest! Get out here!”
Moments later, the Ken-doll emerges from the building and walks leisurely toward us. But when he notes Logan’s expression, he walks faster.
“Babysit,” is the one word Logan spits at him before locking his hand around my wrist and giving me a hard tug.
“What are you doing?” I gasp as I stumble after him, trying to keep my sheet wrapped around myself.
He doesn’t answer, merely stalking over to the motel room and pulling me inside. Then he locks the door behind me.
“Logan!” I insist. “What is this?”
“Don’t you fucking say my name,” he growls. “Turn the fuck around. Lie down on the bed. Stomach down.”
Okay. I take deep breaths, willing my heart to stop racing. I know what this is. He’s not going to hurt me, he’s going to fuck me. Iwantthat.
But I’ve never seen him look like this.
Shaking, I lie down, facing away from him, panicked thoughts invading my brain even as the wetness between my legs grows.
Why isn’t he taking off my sheet? Why isn’t he touching me?
I shiver as I feel him draw near, the warmth of his presence sending goosebumps pebbling over my skin. I shift from side to side, then bite down on a gasp when I feel his hand on my upper thigh through the sheet.
“What… what are you going to do?” I stammer.
I let out a choked cry when he bends down to my ear and whispers, “I’m going to punish you.”
My heart has never raced so hard. I remember what he said before.When I punish you, you’ll know it.
Fuck!Why did I shove him? Why am Inotshoving himnow?
Why am I letting this asshole intimidate me?
Forcing myself to keep it together, I lash out, “Oh yeah? And how are you going to do that?”
He grabs one end of the sheet and pulls, leaving me very suddenly naked.
I bite down on my lip, so hard my teeth tear through the skin, and wait for whatever comes next.
I nearly jump out of my skin again when his hand once more grazes my thigh.
