drifting shut. His touch was light as a feather and made her heart beat a little bit faster in anticipation.
“Last night, I gave you just a taste of what I was capable of,” he murmured in her ear as his hands drifted around to her abdomen. Her muscles tensed under his touch. “Now it’s time for you to show me what you’re capable of.”
There was something harsh in his voice, and her heart started to pound from more than just excitement. He reached up and roughly pinched her nipples. She couldn’t help but immediately cry out in pleasure and pain.
His teeth scraped over the crook of her neck, and she tried to pull away, but he anchored her to him. “Spread your legs,” he muttered.
“Alek, wait,” she said.
“Spread. Your. Legs.”
There was no arguing with him. This was what she had signed up for, and he would no doubt remind her of that if she continued to resist him. Swallowed hard, she slowly widened her stance. His hand slipped down her body, and without any warning, he pushed one finger up inside her.
“Good. You’re already wet. Bend over.”
“Please don’t,” she whispered as tears pricked her eyes. “Please.”
“I said no talking,” he said harshly as he whirled her around. Scrambling out of his grasp, she backed up, but soon her back was against the tile of the shower. There was no escape unless she got past him.
Although she was terrified, she couldn’t help but notice he was absolutely magnificent. The water pulled his dark hair around his face and caressed his sculpted muscles. Green and black tattoos decorated his body, and there didn’t look to be an ounce of fat on him. She’d barely seen him the night before, but now his naked body was hers for the taking. All she had to do was give him what he wanted.
“Are you denying me?” he asked softly as he advanced toward her. “You do realize what that means, right?”
“You would take a woman that doesn’t want you?” she said in a trembling voice. She was so completely torn, and he knew it. A wicked smile crossed his face.
“You don’t look like you don’t want me,” he said as he reached out. Quickly, she slid along the wall to the left out of his reach, but her legs hit the bench, and she stumbled onto it. Thinking as quickly as possible, she righted herself into a sitting position and squeezed her eyes shut.
“I’m not denying you. I just ask for more time. Please. I’ll just…I’ll pleasure you with my mouth tonight. Will that make you leave me alone?”
She felt his hands grasp her chin roughly and pull her face up. Opening her eyes, she braced her hands on the bench and waited.
His eyes searched hers coldly. She had a feeling he would take her up on her offer if only to find another way to knock her down a peg or two. He knew he could have her. She wouldn’t tell him no twice. Her body wouldn’t allow it.
“Close your eyes,” he said in a voice thick with lust. She felt the tears slide down her cheeks as she obeyed him. Waiting for his next command, she reached up to grasp his hips, but there was nothing there.
“Alek?” she said after a moment. Her eyes popped open, and she was alone in the shower. Relieved and disgusted with herself, she pulled her legs up on the bench and cried.

His whole body was tense as he wrapped a towel around himself and left Natalia huddled in the bathroom. Even with the sound of the shower, he could hear her crying. It pissed him off to no end.
He’d dressed her up and taken her to one of the biggest parties in the city. He made her shake from an orgasm last night. Hell, she’d almost given it up to him in the car, but when he was ready for her, she’d panicked like a virgin.
A blow job. Did she really think that a forced blow job was what he wanted? He wanted her naked and willing and screaming his name. He wanted to bury himself so deep inside her that he couldn’t tell where he ended and she began.
Damn it, she was wet for him. And there was lust in
