Balance (Off Balance, #1)

"You're so pretty when you laugh, Aid," he whispered, his nose rubbing mine. Goose bumps broke out across my skin. "Your whole face lights up," he added, this time against my lips as his hand slipped into the back of my hair, kneading my head. "You can make fun of me all you want if it makes you laugh the way you just did."

"You have worked too hard to just throw it away, and so have I. Keep your hands to yourself and I will do the same."

"I have tried to fight it, this urge deep inside me to stay calm, but you are all I think about, all I want."

"You are my greatest weakness. From the moment I set eyes on you, I have been fighting my attraction."

"This is the one and only relationship you are allowed to have, if that is what you want to call it. Get rid of Hayden."

"Not fair?" he scoffed. "What is not fair is that I want you when I should not. I want you all to myself," he slapped his chest. "That is the truth. I want you to be mine and no one else's. I want to do dirty things to you I should not even be thinking about. The images…" he broke off, and shook his head. "I visualize myself bending you over and taking you as hard as I can, knowing you will bleed and not giving a shit if you do. I want to see your eyes water while you deep throat my cock. Tie your hands behind your back as I take you to new heights you have never even imagined with the slap of my hand. The fact that you are seventeen—that is not fair. So you know what I have to do? I have to fuck my girlfriend the way I want to fuck you, I think about you while I am deep inside of her because I do not want to hurt you." He paused, and said, "And most importantly because it is wrong and yet for some obscene reason, I love that it is. I thrive on the risk of getting caught, thrive on thinking of you while I fuck her. This was a mistake and I should have never let it happen again, yet I am glad it did."

"Think what you want, but no matter what I do and say, I find myself drawn to you explicitly. Like a moth to a flame."

"Desire can be deadly. Temptation can be toxic. But do I think it knows it is being lured? No," he said quietly, running his finger in circles on my flesh. "Like right now, I am tempted to push this thin material aside and press my lips to your tender skin. But I know if I get too close, get a taste of you again," he winked, and I smiled at the devious glint in his eyes, "then I will not be able to stop. I will want more until it is too late to stop. But if I do, do it," he pushed the arm hole over my breast, the back of his finger purposely dusting over my rosy nipple, "it does not mean I have to do anything, but the lust, the hunger, the want, it is all there, pulling with a force so powerful that an ending is not even a thought. It is pure desire."

Gripping his wrist, I brought it around to cup my butt.

"Your body cannot handle me at this rate, Adrianna. I will break you. I am not even in all the way, I have never been in all the way." "But your girlfriend can? Katja can take all of you like this?" I taunted, and moaned really loud from the intense pleasure he filled me with. I knew there were problems between them and I wanted to use them to my power. I wanted him to tell me no, that she couldn't.

"If you want to do what Katja does, you are going to have to suck harder. She loves sucking my cock."

"No, it's not." I was going to be sick. "I hate you." "I would rather you hate me than want me." "I don't want you." Lie. He shook his head. "You do not get it, do you?" Confusion set in my face and he answered my question. "I want you, that is what you do not seem to understand. But you never refuse me. So you hating me will make this easier for you, for both of us. I want you to hate me, so when I do try to come after you, you tell me no."
