They chuckle at something she says, and she tosses her hair back and places a hand on Thomas’s arm.
A flash of rage roars through me.
The crowd parts before me as I stalk down the steps towards them.
Does she really think that she can just do whatever she wants? That she can bat her eyelashes at anyone and everyone? No. She is not even allowed to breathe without my permission.
She doesn’t get to have friends or partners. She doesn’t even get to have casual fuck buddies. She’s not allowed to have anyone. Only me. Unless I say otherwise, she will only ever know my touch, my voice, my body, as I do whatever the hell I want with her.
Thomas spots me as I advance on them. But Raina has her back to me, so she just continues talking to the other two guys.
“Hunter?” Thomas says it both like a greeting and a question.
“Leave,” I order.
Raina whirls around at the sound of my voice while Thomas dips his chin in acknowledgement. He and his two friends immediately start to retreat.
After shooting me a scorching glare, Raina spins back to them and waves her hands. “No, wait, you don’t have to leave. I still haven’t—”
Her words are cut off by a yelp as I grab her and throw her over my shoulder.
For a few seconds, she just lies there on my shoulder as I start towards the door, as if she can’t believe what’s happening. Then reality apparently snaps back to her.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” She kicks her legs and pounds her hands into my back. “Put me down, you fucking neanderthal!”
People around us turn to look as I continue towards the door, but no one is stupid enough to try to intervene.
Raina keeps struggling to get free, but I easily hold her in place with an arm over her back.
“You fucking asshole,” she growls with impressive menace while she continues squirming on my shoulder. “I swear to God, I am going to—”
I slap her ass. Hard.
She sucks in a gasp. Stunned silence follows it. Then she snaps, “You bastard! Stop—”
“Stop acting like a brat,” I cut her off as I stride into an empty room on the other side of the corridor. “And I’ll stop spanking you like one.”
A truly vicious string of curses answers me while I kick the door shut behind us. Then I move over to the wall and set Raina down.
She immediately tries to move aside. I slap my palm against the wall next to her head, blocking her way with my arm. Trapped between me and the wall, she drags her eyes to my face.
I almost start slightly at the rage burning in those green eyes of hers.
“You had no right!” she screams, and gives my chest a hard shove that does absolutely nothing to push me back. “You had no right to interrupt our conversation like that!”
For a moment, I’m too stunned to reply.
For the first time since I met her, she looks genuinely angry. And not just angry. She looksfurious.
She didn’t even look mad when I fucked her throat on the side of the road or after I spanked her ass in the middle of the canteen or when I humiliated her in the sparring room.
But now, because I scared off some guys she was talking to, she looks ready to tear my throat out. Why? Why would that be such a big deal to her?
Pushing aside the confusion for now, I raise my eyebrows and reply, “No right, huh?”
“Yes!” She shoves at my chest again. “But apparently, you’re too stupid to—”
I yank up my other hand and lock it around her throat. Taking a step closer, I press farther into her space. Her tits brush against my body as her chest heaves with anger. It sends sparks of electricity shooting through me and makes blood rush to my cock.
