"...I can’t have casual sex with you.”
I laughed, feigning offense as I touched my chest.
“Oh-ho, so it’s personal! What, you don’t like me?”
He exhaled, frowning.
“I don’t trust you. You’re impulsive. Controlling… messy. I don’t need that in my life right now.”
“You’re wrong.”
“About what? You?”
“Yes, and about you, too.”
I put a hand to the side of his face, caressing his beard.
“I’m not impulsive. I am extremely self-aware. And I’m not controlling; I’m dominant. I knew what I was gonna do with you fifteen minutes after you walked into my shop. And I knew that you would let me.
Because contrary to what you may think in your logical ass brain, deep down you know… you feel how badly you want a little mess in your life.”
I brought my face closer to his, swiping the tip of my tongue across his bottom lip.
“Admit it.”
“Bri—”
I squeezed his beard and he winced.
“I said admit it.”
“Yess,” he hissed, eyes dark with hate and hunger. “Deep down, I want this. But I am logical. There’s no way in hell I’d let myself do what you’re asking.”
I smiled, shifting to straddle his lap, taking his face in both hands.
“Lucky for you, you’re not in control. And I’m not asking.”
His breathing picked up. I touched my forehead to his.
“Elijah. You’re mine now. Say it.”
“Bri—”
I smacked him, then grabbed his chin, forcing his eyes to mine.
“Say it,” I whispered.
He blinked at me, breathless.
“I’m yours…”
I laughed, feigning offense as I touched my chest.
“Oh-ho, so it’s personal! What, you don’t like me?”
