Free Epilogue: The Dark Duet by Cj Roberts Page A

     quickly disappeared.

    “You know what?
     How about I just quit my job?” she spat.

    I looked up from my plate.   Here we
     go…

    “Livvie—”

    “No!” She was on a roll. Her eyes
     screamed of crazy. “It’s perfect! I’ll leave school and cut my friends out of
     my life. Then you can have me all to yourself! You can keep me in your dark
     little room and fuck me stupid. You can own me. It’s what you want, isn’t it?”

    My rage was a living, breathing monster
     in my gut and it fed on every word she’d said. I had no doubt she’d been
     waiting to say those words to me since the night we’d talked on her balcony.
     Did her words hurt? Yes. But they also excited me. My dick was hard and a
     familiar thrumming thudded in my ears. I wanted a fight. I needed a fight. I was sick and tired of playing nice. I AM NOT
     NICE!

    I chewed my food slowly and with a
     smile on my face. I watched Livvie closely. She was trying hard not to crack
     under the pressure of my silence. Livvie could never handle it— still can’t. I could hear her breathing.
     Her eyes were narrowed onto my face. If I’d been some little boy her age, I
     might have worried for my safety. But I’d seen scary, and Livvie just didn’t
     fit the bill. She was too sweet, too sexy.

    “Aren’t you going to fucking respond?”
     She was taunting me and enjoying it. Her chest rose and fell with gaining
     speed. I could make out the points of her nipples through her shirt.

    I swallowed my food and sipped from my
     wine glass. I’d missed the familiarity of pushing Livvie’s buttons. I didn’t
     want to hurt her. I’d vowed not to hurt her again. It didn’t mean I had to
     become a pussy.

    “You want a response, Kitten?” Fear
     flickered just behind her angry stare. She shivered before she could stop it. I
     took my napkin from my lap and set it on the table. Livvie watched me intently.
     “Here’s my response.”

    I slid my arm
     across the table. Our plates, glasses, and silverware crashed onto the floor. I
     stood up just in time to catch Livvie’s arm as she leapt out of her chair and
     ran toward the door.

    “Caleb, no!” she screamed. I put my
     hand across her mouth and hoisted her with one arm. Her legs kicked out at me viciously.
     Her teeth bit into my hand. Her nails dug into the flesh of my arm. The pain
     only spurred me on.

    I pressed her body into the wall until
     she could barely move. She squirmed against me. You might hate me for it, but I
     loved every second. Then again, I knew I wasn’t going to hurt her—not really.
     Once I had her immobilized, I whispered into her ear.

    “Don’t you think if that’s what I
     wanted, I wouldn’t just do it?” She whimpered. “It would be easier for me.
     You’d be mine in every way possible.” I rubbed my cock between the cheeks of
     her ass. I almost came in my pants when she groaned. She struggled, but she was
     barely trying.

    “I could keep
     you chained to the bed. I’d fuck you every night and never let you come. Only
     good girls get to come, Kitten. Would you be a good girl for me?” I took my
     hand away from Livvie’s mouth and smoothed her hair back so I could see the
     side of her face.

    “Fuck you. Let me go,” she panted. Her
     tone meant business, but her body language told another story. She moved
     against my cock.

    We were in dangerous territory. I knew
     the situation could blow up in my face, but the thrill was too strong. I
     couldn’t resist. I pressed her deeper into the wall, until she gasped for
     breath. I planted soft kisses against her neck.

    “I’ll let you
     go if you’re not wet,” I whispered into her ear.

    She didn’t move. She didn’t speak.

    “What, no response? Should I check?” My
     heart was racing. I was afraid of going too far. I was afraid I’d already gone too far and didn’t know how
     to come back. “Tell me to stop and I will. Tell me you don’t want me to pull your
     tights down
