“What was the one rule I had about Agent Ellis?”
“I didn’t invite him in!”
“Did you ask him to leave, or did you entertain him?”
“The smoke detector went off, and I didn’t know what was happening. He came to my rescue.”
Hunter’s nostrils flared. “He came to your rescue?”
I nodded.
“Like in those superhero movies you get lost in?” He walked over to me slowly, and I took a step back, bumping into the counter.
“I didn’t say that.”
“But it’s what was going through your mind while he was here, wasn’t it? Superhero Ellis to the rescue, saving the helpless boy who he so desperately wants to fuck. Do you find that romantic, Cosmo?”
Well, when he said it like that, who would argue about it being romantic?
“Do tell, Cosmo. What would you have done had I not walked in? Kissed the brave superhero who rescued you?”
I clutched the counter behind me. “Hunter, you’re scaring me.”
“No, I don’t think I am. You want to know what I think, Cosmo? I think you get a kick out of driving me insane with jealousy where Agent Ellis is concerned. Why else would you entertain the man in my home when an hour ago you promised not to do that very thing?”
“I didn’t mean to fall asleep, and the pot got burned and the—”
He put his hands on the counter, caging me in. “You’re making excuses.”
“What did you want me to do? Let the house burn to the ground? And I suppose if that had happened, I should have stayed in it, even though Agent Ellis offered help?”
“Yes.”
“Daddy, you’ve completely lost your mind.” I tried to wriggle out from under his arms, but he pressed a hand to my chest.
“That’s your doing. I’ve never wanted to choke the life out of a man until I met you.”
“I think you’re overreacting. Agent Ellis did nothing wrong. He was just being helpful.”
“I guess he would have helped himself between your legs if I hadn’t come when I did.”
I gasped, raised my hand, and slapped him. “Are you saying I’d cheat on you?”
“Would you?”
I slapped him again. “Fuck you, Hunter.”
“Isn’t that what you were begging me to do when you called me?” He kept me crowded against the counter, not budging an inch. “You wanted more sex. I couldn’t concentrate on what I was doing because I kept remembering how good it feels when I pound my cock into you. The little moans you make and the way you sink your fingers into my skin, ripping into my flesh when you want me to go harder. Then I walk in here, and Agent Ellis’s hands are all over you, and you’re letting him.” He clutched my hips and pressed his body to mine. My heart beat wildly in my chest, and electricity zapped over my skin. He was so close, so savage and unapologetic. “You should have told him, Cosmo. Tell him you’ll never be his. That he’ll never know what it’s like to kiss you awake in the morning. He’ll never know how tight your ass feels around his cock or how you love being fucked within an inch of your life. You’ll never be his doll, Cosmo. Never.”
He slammed his mouth to mine, his lips hard and punishing me for his perceived notion of the wrong I had done. I clamped my teeth together to deny him entry, but he squeezed my hips, and I gasped at the pain. He shoved his tongue into my mouth but quickly drew back before I could clamp my teeth down. I bit my tongue instead, and blood filled my mouth. He just kissed me harder.
I wriggled one of my hands free and shoved at his chest. He was immobile. He grabbed a clump of my hair and yanked my head back.
“He’ll never know how sweet and soft your skin is. Only I will ever know, Cosmo.”
“Daddy.” I shoved at his hand that yanked at my shirt. “Please.”
“He’ll never know what it’s like to hear you beg.”
