Fraud (Antihero Inferno #2) - Lily White Page 0,55
us a few seconds later, and we turned to his house to see the first flames rolling off the roof.
“What did you do?”
I shook my head. Tears leaking from my eyes from the brutal way he’d kissed me.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Liar!”
Gabriel ran in the direction of his house, and I was left on the ground crying.
That was the night our silly war became a legacy of cruelty. The next year and a half was spent hurting each other as much as we could.
Do you see it now?
Do you understand my warning?
You were told the truth about him.
You were warned not to believe him.
But the only person you knew was Fraud.
And if you didn’t believe me, I can’t blame you.
I see him, though.
I know him.
Which is why I shouldn’t be kissing him right now in another lightning storm, at another house, on another night when all he’s done is hurt me.
Yet that’s exactly what I’m doing. The storm is just as wild. And he’s just as brutal as he’s ever been.
Gabriel’s hands cup my face as his mouth assaults mine, his tongue sweeping past my lips with desperation. I can’t take a breath for how violent his kiss is, can’t hear anything beyond the rush of blood in my head.
Above us, the sky is split apart by lightning, the wind snatching at our wet clothes and hair like it’s fighting to rip us apart. Gabriel fights even harder to hold on, his fingers slipping into my hair as his body presses tight to mine.
His erection is a hard ridge against my stomach, his mouth releasing mine as his teeth bite my bottom lip. I open my eyes to see the same person I saw that night with his hair plastered to his forehead and rain dripping down his beautiful face.
Only this time, he’s not bruised and beaten on the outside. He carries all those scars hidden within.
My head falls back against the car as his mouth explores lower, my hands moving to grip his arms as his head dips down, and he traps a nipple between his cruel, deceitful lips.
He sucks so hard that a gasp escapes my throat, the thin cotton shirt no match for the power of his mouth.
Gabriel’s fingers release my hair to grip my ass, his biceps bulging beneath my hands as he lifts me up so I’ll wrap my legs around his waist.
The ridge of his cock presses against my clit, and I cry out at the sensation, his teeth biting down at the pulse point of my neck before his tongue sweeps out to lick the sting.
Lightning cracks above us, the thunder fast on its heels, and I open my eyes to see the sky is nothing but heavy black clouds.
“We should go inside.”
Fuck. It’s difficult to talk, but I’m up against a big metal car with lightning striking all around. This can’t be the safest place to be.
We joke about nature trying to stop us, but this is pushing our luck.
“Why?” he asks as his lips lock on the lobe of my ear, his teeth punishing the skin a second later.
Gabriel’s palm skims beneath my shirt and up my body, his fingers gripping the weight of my breast with fierce possession. When his hips move between my legs, stars burst behind my eyes, the bulge of his cock hitting just the right place.
“Because we can die in this.”
He grins against my cheek.
“If it’s not the storm that kills us, it’ll just be an earthquake or a volcano. Hell, a sinkhole can open up and swallow the house. That’s just how shit works with us. Now shut up, and take off your damn shirt because I’m fucking you regardless of what’s happening around us.”
Dragging the hem of my shirt up, he uses his body to pin me to the car as he rips the soaked cotton up my arms and tosses it away.
His mouth locks on my nipple, tongue flicking the painfully tight tip as I try to pull his shirt off.
Bracing his hands against the car on either side of me, he pulls his head up for me to tug the shirt off, but I slide down the wet metal door and damn near hit the ground.
“This isn’t fucking working,” he growls as he picks me up and carries me in the direction of the house.
“Oh, thank God,” I pant, relieved that he’s getting us out of this storm. “Inside is much safer.”
That damn smile of his stretches apart as he dumps me on
