“Well, obviously I’ve never experienced it, but I’ve heard through the grapevine that they like to share.”
“And that, well, that’s Jack. He’s hockey captain, king of the Kings, king of everything, really. He’s not only scored the most goals for the Kings, he’s had the most assists in the league. The sports department at the Daily Queen nicknamed him ‘Jack Hat Trick Feldman.’
Some guys might call her fat. I’d beat up every fucking one of them. Because I didn’t care how she was labeled—to me, she was a stunning, gorgeous goddess. Period.
No, I’d never had a mine. Until right the fuck now. She was still staring at me. Go ahead, princess, stare all you want.
With a growl I couldn’t control, I shoved my barely-touched beer at Judah, making my way toward them. If she wanted to flirt with someone, she could flirt with me. And if that jackass touched her, I was punching a hole through his head with my already clenched fist.
I could hear my older brother, Micah, in my head, telling me to rein in my temper and think. And the genius hacker
was right.
Your emotions don’t help you control the situation. Other people’s do. If you’re too caught up in your anger, you won’t see the threads to pull.
A cool head is the head that wins. My half-brother, Marcus, the cold, emotionless billionaire.
I wanted this girl. Badly. But now I wanted her on her knees in front of me, mascara running down her face as she put that bratty mouth to good use.
And then when she moaned again and softened into my arms, lowering her arms to wrap around my waist, well. That was it. I was a motherfucking goner.
The world shifted on its axis. Even fucking gravity disappeared. The people around us certainly disappeared. Just me and her and this raging satisfaction. Mine.
“Such a fucking sweet cherry,” he growled, and his eyes flashed silver. “And mine. All mine. You hear me, princess? This means you belong to me now. Some other asshole touches you, this Tom comes near you?” he sneered. “I’ll motherfucking destroy him.”
“I was thinking that you’re mine for as long as I want you to be. I fucked your untouched cunt, and that changed everything. Your body’s mine, your pussy’s mine, your decisions are mine. Everything about you is mine, and I protect what’s mine.”
“You need this, even if you don’t want to admit it, little liar. Need me to be the villain, so I’ll be the villain. Your villain.”.
“Let me get this through that beautiful little head. If I find out you’ve flirted with another man, I will lock you up in my basement and throw away the goddamned key. And him? They’ll never find his body. Do you want that on your conscience, princess?”
If Aviva wanted to burn the world down, I’d help her. If she wanted to burn my world down, I’d hand her the match. Because from now on, she was my world.
I couldn’t let her go, I wouldn’t, and if she burned my world to the ground, I’d make sure she burned up with me. Because I wouldn’t let her go. Even in ash, we’d be together.
There was love there, trust, determination. Loyalty. “Then let’s burn it down together, princess.”
