Kindle Notes & Highlights
I become suddenly aware that everyone is watching me. I look over my shoulder, and the frozen scene of Lucas at the island with his knife hovering over the cutting board and Sasha and Roman holding their sandwiches, unpauses abruptly. Lucas jumps back into his work and Sasha takes a huge bite. Her chair screeches as she scoots up to the table.
He’s in my sights now, and there’s no escaping. And that’s why I need him to understand what he seemed to be struggling with last night when he so idiotically thought I was going to fire him. I lean into him until my shoulder is pressing against his. I whisper in his ear, “You do not get to leave.” I barely stop myself from adding, Ever. “Do you understand?” He swallows hard. He doesn’t answer me. “I need you to nod, at the very least.” Even that’s hard for him. His nod is a jerk of his chin, and I think he’s mostly doing it to make me leave him alone.
I think about how he responded when I grabbed his hair last night and when I choked him in that alley, I know the truth. I know what he’s been hiding. And I’m going to make him confess it.
His lips part as he inhales sharply. He didn’t expect that. I’ve never talked that way with him. I’ve been so careful not to. So he doesn’t know how dirty I am. He’s about to find out—if he wants to. And he does want to. He smiles. He likes the idea. Fuck, this is really going to happen. “Are you good at it?” he asks. “Good enough to make you come down my throat, I guarantee it.” Those cruel, sensual lips twist. “Oh, Quinn. I don’t think this is going to go quite like you think.”
I look up to see his eyes on me. His lips are parted. His eyes are heavy lidded. He says in a rough voice, “I had no idea this would look so fucking beautiful.”
I am absolutely, 100% going to fuck him.
When I shrug, a smile tugs at his lips. Goddamn. He’s so fucking beautiful.
Mmm, he’s spicy now. I love this. I take off my shirt and drape it over the back of the couch. Quinn continues pacing around while I take off my shoes.
