Did he ever feel guilt over what he’d done to her? Or was he happy to inflict all kinds of pain?
“What is it you’re after, Pru?” he asked, standing so close.
She frowned. “I’m not after anything.”
His hand sank into her hair, making her gasp. If he pulled or yanked on her hair, it was going to hurt. She felt the tiny hairs on the back of her neck begin to stretch and it made her eyes water. He tilted her head back and got right up in her face.
“Please,” she said, hating how she sounded. She promised herself she’d never beg for anything from him, and knowing she’d just done that filled her with anger. “Let me go.”
“That’s the fire I’m used to. You think I don’t know what you’re doing?”
“I’m doing nothing. You’re being an asshole.” He was starting to rise a response out of her and she hated him for it. “What do you think you’re doing, huh? You’re giving yourself away right now. I’ve done nothing. Ree likes you. You want to know what I’ve got to do with that? Absolutely nothing, because it’s not my problem she has sick taste in men.” She reached out to grab his hand, wrapping her fingers around his wrist. “Let me go.” She didn’t squeeze his hand, simply laid hers against his wrist. With her fingers directly over his pulse, she felt how fast it beat.
Was he excited about their confrontation?
“If Ree comes to my party tonight, I’m going to fuck her brains out, record everything I do to her, and then I’m going to post it up on my page for the entire world to see,” he said.
“You … bastard,” she said. “I don’t know what she sees in you, but she actually likes you. And you’re willing to throw that away because of what? Because you hate me? I’m not going.”
“Then I suggest you come, because otherwise, your friend is going to get a whole lot of air time, believe me. And let’s just say I like it dirty with my woman pliant and ready to take cock. I’ll have her willing cunt on the screen for all to see. You never know. Once I’ve had my fill, she might be useful to a couple of porn studios.”
Prudence cried out as he tugged on her hair.
“Or I could play with you.”
The pain in the back of her head made tears fill her eyes, and they slowly begin to fall. Drake simply watched her and leaned in close. His tongue pressed to her cheek. She cringed as he slowly drew his tongue up, licking her tears.
“What the hell are you doing?” She pushed against his chest.
“Don’t you want this? Isn’t it what you’ve been dreaming about?” he asked.
“Ew. No, I would never dream of you in that way. Get off me. Ree wants you. I don’t. How could I ever want you? You’re a horrible person.” She couldn’t believe he would even think that. They hated each other.
He shoved her hard and she cried out as she hit the counter, falling to her ass. She would have a bruise on her hip from the impact. Tears continued to escape her eyes, and she tried not to panic as he gripped her neck, tilting her head back to look at him.
“Let me go.”
“Oh, I’ll let you go when I’m good and fucking ready.” He squeezed her neck tightly as he cupped her jaw. “I’m going to fuck Ree tonight and when I’m done, everyone is going to know just how easy she is.”
“Leave her alone. I don’t know why, but she likes you. You’re a fucking monster.” Grabbing his fingers, she bent them, pulling him away from her, and got to her feet. She saw the happiness in his eyes. The crazy look as if he was getting off on her fight.
“What are you willing to give me?” he asked.
“What?” This guy was giving her whiplash and she didn’t know what the hell he was talking about now. Why would she give him anything? He stroked a finger down her cheek and she swatted at his hand. “Stop it.”
“What will you give me to leave your friend alone?”
“Damn it, Drake. Why can’t you just see she likes you? Can’t you be a decent guy and just let her … fall for you?” She wanted to cringe at her own words. Why was she even talking about this? Was she crazy?
Drake, in response, threw back his head and burst out laughing. She didn’t appreciate his reaction in the least.
“You know what, forget it. You’re not worth it.” She made to pass but again, he stopped her, stepping in front of her. “What the hell? I’ve done nothing to you. You’re acting a little freaky coming into the girl’s bathroom.” She would say and do anything to get him to leave her alone.
