Ignoring it, I said, “It seems to me that if either of us is stalking the other, it’s you.”
Tilting my head, I asked, “And why is that, Ta
He pressed a finger against my lips, halting what I had to say. Voice so low it was almost a whisper, he asked, “Do you ever know when to shut up?”
“No,” I spoke against his finger, “I don’t” my brows tugged together, rage winding down my spine that he thought he had the right to carry me off like he had.
“Especially not when I’m dealing with arrogant assholes who-“
His finger was gone in the next second, replaced with his lips. I wish I could say I pulled away immediately and slapped him for the kiss, but that’s not what happened.
Instead, I melted against him, my traitorous lips parting the same way they had when he kissed me by the bonfire, the same heat igniting inside me, a damn furnace that made it impossible to do anything but go along with whatever he wanted.
This wasn’t like the courteous kisses Clayton gave me on the few dates that we had...or the almost kiss that guy, Shane, had attempted on the dance floor.
This was possession, plain and simple, an arrogant as hell alphamale, asshole claiming a woman even when she couldn’t stand him.

He broke the kiss as I melted against him, his eyes locking to mine with a clear as day message that he knew I’d liked that kiss and I wanted another.

“The feeling’s mutual.”
“Then why are you kissing me?”
There was fire behind his dark eyes, the moss green color deepening until almost black.
“Because you want me to.”
I couldn’t breathe suddenly, my body completely still as his eyes searched my face. The corners of his lips tugged up in a knowing grin, my refusal to challenge what he’d said lingering between us.
With a quiet voice he added, “And I had to find some way to shut you up.”
My eyes widened at his response. I would have said something equally as rude back to him if his mouth didn’t claim mine again before I had the chance.
