“You’re playing with fire, princess,” he says, his voice low and dark.
“And I’m quite adept at it.” My heart is thundering in my chest, and heat pools at my core, but I managed to keep a mocking expression on my features as I flash him a smirk. “Just ask your car.”
Something flickers in his eyes, but it’s too fast for me to read. He takes a step forward, but this time, I don’t retreat. Amusement plays over his lips as he flicks a glance up and down my body. A thrill races down my spine. He is watching me as if he can’t decide whether he wants to kill me slowly and very painfully or if he wants to fuck my brains out.
Since I’m kind of hoping for option two, I blurt out, “Are you ever going to fuck me for real?”
He arches an eyebrow. “I distinctly remember making you come so hard you saw stars. Twice, in fact.”
“With your fingers. And then a gun. I’m asking ifyouare ever going to fuck me.”
“Are you ever going to submit to me?”
“If you want my submission, then take it.”
His eyebrows crease in confusion.
My heart is slamming against my ribs. I know that this is probably a terrible fucking idea. Not to mention dangerous. And sick. But I’m way past the point where I care about what other people think is acceptable or proper or normal.
“If you want to fuck me,” I begin, speaking the words slowly to make sure that he understands that I truly mean what I say. “If you want my body, my submission, then take it.”
Dark desire flares up in his eyes, but he keeps a guarded expression on his features as he asks, “Do you understand what you’re saying?”
“Yes.” I hold his gaze. “Iwant youto fuck me. I’m going to fight back, but I want you to take me anyway.”
My pulse is thrumming in my ears. For a few seconds, Eli only stares back at me in complete silence. It’s so loud that I can only hear the violent pounding of my own heart.
I know that having forced sex fantasies is considered unacceptable by society at large, but it’s actually a lot more common than most people think. And given that violence already turns me on, I’m not surprised that I’m one of the people who get off on being overpowered and at someone else’s mercy.
“Are you sure?” Eli asks.
“Yes.”
He watches me in silence for another few seconds, waiting for me to change my mind. But his eyes study my face, and he must be able to tell that I am in fact serious about this, because he at last gives me a slow nod in acknowledgement.
Then a wicked glint glitters in his golden eyes, and he flashes me a grin dripping with challenge. “Then run.”
Excitement crackles through my veins. Not hesitating a second, I dart towards the tree line on my left.
After giving me a short head start, Eli moves too.
My shoes thud against the ground, crushing the thick grass underneath me as I sprint away from the rock wall behind and towards the cover of the wide forest ahead. The green leaves rustle and ripple like a curtain as a strong wind sweeps through the trees.
Footsteps sound from behind me.
Close.
Far too close.
Jesus, how fucking fast is this guy?
Before I can fully finish the thought, a massive weight slams into my body.
I haven’t even made it halfway to the tree line when Eli takes my legs out from underneath me and I slam down on the ground. Blades of grass and a few crushed leaves flutter around me as I try to roll away before he can pin me completely. I’m only up on my side when Eli grabs me by the shoulder and shoves me back down on my stomach.
A huff escapes my lips.
His knees are on either side of me, caging me in. I press my palms to the thick grass, trying to use my arms to heave myself off the ground. I manage to get my chest and head up a little. Then he locks his hands around my wrists and pulls my arms to the sides.
