to happen,” he snarled, his deep, rough voice sending a wave of vibrations dancing down the back of my legs. My God, the man’s horrible behavior was actually turning me on. Was I insane?
“I’m going to kill you,” I yelped in frustration.
He laughed the same deep and throaty sound I’d heard before, his eyes twinkling. “I imagine you’re going to try. Obviously, you won’t be the first and I doubt you’ll be the last.” He stared down at me with those gorgeous eyes of his, taking several scattered breaths as he shook his head back and forth. “You need harsh discipline in your life.”
“Not from you.” Why were my words little more than a whisper? I wiggled again, only managing to grind my stomach across his cock, his hard, throbbing cock. Oh, my God. Panting, I dragged my tongue across my lips, and I could tell that turned him on even more. “Get off me.”
I expected him to tie me to the bed or worse, but when he crushed his mouth over mine, a moan rushed up from my throat. I was sick inside, continuing to fight him as he thrust his tongue past my lips. The taste of him was incredible, leaving me tingling all over. Lights flashed in front of my field of vision and I felt weak and helpless, yet my nipples ached to the point of utter anguish. No. No. No…
The kiss continued as he held me, the heat of his body explosive, electricity soaring through both of us. Yet every part of me hated his touch as much as my body’s reaction. He shifted my body, walking me back against the wall, slamming me against the hard surface.
When he yanked at my shirt, sliding his hand underneath, I jutted my hips forward. But that only seemed to excite him even more. He dragged the thin material up to my chest while he maintained the brutal kiss. Everything about him was dominating, his utter need for control creating a sickening firestorm deep within.
He cupped my breasts, kneading both through the lacy material of my bra. I was electrified instantly, fighting to breathe as he pinched my nipples between his fingers. The pain was biting but delicious, sending a rush of vibrations into every cell.
When he broke the intimate moment, he shook his head several times before jerking my shirt up and over my head. After tossing the unwanted item, he smacked his hands on the wall with force, leaning over until our lips were almost touching. “You’re one difficult lady.”
I shoved my hands against his chest, but as the seconds wore on, I dug my fingers into his thick muscles. The man was a brute, refusing to budge. “You’re a monster.”
He chuckled, the dark sound exciting every one of my senses. “Yes. I am.”
There was no way to push him aside or to get away. As he loomed over me, I attempted to remain defiant, undulating my body in some crazy effort to rid myself of him. It was no use. I was only exciting him even more.
“You’re going to be punished,” he hissed.
“Fuck you.”
Nikolai took a deep breath, taking his time before expelling it across my face. “Trust me. That’s exactly what’s going to happen, but not until you’ve learned your lesson about defying me.”
Everything about the man was carnal, as if he was going to rip me apart.
As if he was going to devour me.
I threw a hard punch to his gut in my crazy attempt to get away.
He only growled, shaking his head slightly. “And you need to accept that I’m in control.”
“Never.” I suddenly couldn’t move, my entire body paralyzed as he slowly lowered the straps on my bra. Just the way his fingers brushed across my skin stole my breath, the jolts of electricity crisscrossing through my body increasing. Swallowing, I realized I was mesmerized by his actions. After he exposed my breasts, a guttural and savage sound erupted from his mouth.
Very slowly he slid a single finger back and forth across my nipple. “Here’s what’s going to happen, Chloe. You’re going to remove your clothes. All of them. Then you’re going to lie across the bed. After that I’m going to spank you with my belt.”
“You’re out of your mind.”
“And you disobeyed me. That’s not going to happen again. Think of your punishment as incentive.”
I clenched my jaw, shaking my head slowly. “You don’t own me.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard
