“Okay that’s enough,” I snap, and it’s enough to stop her in her tracks.
She turns slowly to look at me and when she sees me standing there she crosses her arms over her ample chest. “Excuse me?”
I take a heavy footstep toward her and I see her eyes widen just a fraction as I move closer to her. “I said that’s enough.”
She rolls her eyes but then they come right back to me. “Look, you need to slow your mood swings because they are making me dizzy.”
“You have no idea how much you frustrate me.” I take another step closer and this time she backs up.
“Me? I’m not the one breathing down your neck while you’re trying to work. I’m not the one constantly grouchy just because I exist on this island.” She raises her beautiful chin in the air but it does nothing to make me lose my focus.
“I breathe down your neck because I can’t breathe when I’m not near you.” The confession falls from my mouth before I can stop it, but by this time her back hits the wall and I’m closing in on her. “I’m grouchy because you’re here and although I don’t know a damn thing about you, I can’t get you out of my mind.”
With her body pressed to the wall, I place my palms on either side of her so she can’t get away. Her arms drop between us and I move in so that my chest is pressed to hers.
“I’m not angry that you exist, Lula. I’m angry that you existed for so long without me knowing.”
Without a thought to what I’m about to do, or that this might be a big mistake, I lean in and cover her lips with mine. I tell myself to be gentle, to be patient, but it’s no good. My body has demands that can only be met with aggressive domination and control. I move my hand and place it on her chest just below her neck. My fingertips rest against the pulse there as I lick her bottom lip and then demand entry. I feel her pulse quicken as she gasps and I take what she not-so-willingly offers me. With my chest to hers, I feel the swell of her breasts and the curve of her body as she moves her lower half against mine.
There’s no time for me to stop this, and I couldn’t if I wanted to. My hand on her neck is firm while holding her in place and letting her know I’m in charge. I’ve got this burning need inside of me to not only dominate her but to have her belong to me. I’ve never been possessive of a woman, certainly not enough to make me react without thinking. But Lula is so different, and the way I feel about her is unlike any emotion I’ve ever had.
I drop my other hand from the wall and slide it around the small of her back and I press her lower half against mine. There’s an ache between my thighs that hasn’t been satisfied since the day she stepped on this island. No matter how many times I jerk off thinking about her long legs opening for me, I can’t ease that throbbing need. Even now as her hips roll forward in search of pleasure, I know that it won’t be enough until I’m buried as deep as I can fit inside her tight body.
“Xander,” she whispers against my mouth, and the way my name tastes on her tongue makes every muscle in my body rock hard.
I want to take her to the floor and cover her with my weight. I want to rut and fuck and taste every wet inch of her. It’s the alpha in me that needs her submission and though I’ve never played with that at all, I want to now.
Her lips are soft and wet as I suck on them and then slide my tongue across hers. Her fingers dance along the edge of my shorts and I feel the shiver in her spine. She wants me, wants this, and if I pushed her for more she might just give it to me.
But is she ready for what I’m demanding? Am I?
Where we’re at isn’t all that private and I have a feeling if I try and make her come back to my place, it will give her too much time to change her mind. This is the main house and although Vaughn isn’t here, Kade and Collins could come back. Hell, some of the staff could walk in at any moment. Somehow that only heightens my arousal and my need to take her while I have the chance.
I pull her close to my body and lift her off the ground. Her gasp into my mouth is the only acknowledgement she gives as my hand slides up her shirt and I start walking.
