treat me like a paid whore. I’m not someone you just throw against the wall–”
“…and fuck?”
Lila sputtered, her cheeks flushing red.
I tugged my shirt over my head and let it drop to the floor, stalking forward. “Let us get one thing clear. As long as you’re mine, I will take you wherever I want and however I want.”
She stabbed me in the chest with her finger. Lila was a midget, but damn, she had a temper and the attitude of a fiery dragon. “You will treat me with respect, Maddox.”
I arched an eyebrow at her. “I will treat you with respect, yes. A perfect gentleman. I’ll open the doors for you, I’ll bring you your favorite mint-chocolate chip muffin, and I’ll even hold your hand. I might even give you some dead roses. See? Perfect gentleman.”
I bent down, my face hovering over hers. Her breath seized in her throat at my next words. “But I’ll also bend you over and fuck you however I want, because I love seeing you trying to deny how wet I make you. I’ll treat you like a princess, but I’ll fuck you like an animal and like the dirty pervert I am, because you like it.”
Her eyes narrowed with rage, but she kept her face deceptively calm. Taking a deep breath, she took a seat on the couch, crossing her lithe legs. I followed her, standing close, so she had to nudge her chin high to stare up at me through her thick lashes. What a perfect position. This put her mouth right over my crotch.
Lila’s eyes lingered over my torso for a second longer, before her gaze collided with mine once again. “Do you speak with all the girls like this? Do your conquests appreciate this… this crassness?”
“What do you think?” I asked, low and quiet.
“I think you’re absolutely despicable.”
“Oh yeah, I’ve been called that a few times.”
“Oh, when? After leaving a massive line of sobbing, heartbroken girls?”
I clucked my tongue at her, as she goaded me. My hand cupped her face, and I rubbed my thumb over her parted, wet lips, smudging her lipstick. “You know me so well.”
“This is why you never had a girlfriend! You obviously don’t know how to tone down your asshole-ness!” She hissed, exasperated.
“Keep talking, Garcia. It’s tempting me to throw you over my knee to show you exactly why they call me despicable.”
Lila blinked, her face paling in shock. “Did you just threaten to spank me…?”
“I promised to spank you and fuck you. Go ahead, keep being a mouthy little thing.” My hoarse voice seemed to drive her even more wild.
“Is this something you do with your other…fuck buddies, too?” she sneered.
Ah, so little Miss Lila was, in fact, territorial.
Jealousy didn’t only run through my veins, but it was very apparent in hers. I knew it, and I was goading her, waiting for her reaction.
When I only smirked, she was miffed.
“Asshole.”
My lips twitched. “Brat.”
Lila let out a shocked gasp, and I stifled a laugh. We’ve been best friends for four years; I knew exactly how to push all her buttons.
“Did you just call me a brat?” Yes, I did. Especially after that stunt she pulled at the bar. Daring me to dance with Blondie when she damn well knew she was the only woman I wanted in my arms.
“Would you rather I call you a bitch?”
Outraged, she jumped to her feet and leveled me with a glare that would have had anyone quaking in fear. Me? Angry Lila just made my dick hard.
I could think of sixty-nine ways to fuck the anger out of her system, until she was a pretty mess under me.
“Why are we doing this?” she growled, fire burning in her dark eyes. Goddamn it, she was a tempting goddess. So tempting. So beautiful. Mine.
And I wanted to put her over my knees and tan her ass red for being so goddamn stubborn.
Her fists clenched at her sides. “You're one very annoying person, Coulter. Why am I still here?” she muttered the last sentence to herself, but it was loud enough for me to hear.
I grinned. “Because you like how my dick feels inside of you.”
A heartbeat passed before she exploded. She threw the cushion at my head and narrowly missed.
I tsked, darkly. “You shouldn’t have done that.”
Stalking forward, I hunted her down, as she tried to escape me. But she was too slow, and a predator never loses sight of his prey.
I caught her easily and threw her on the bed. Lila
