Free An Unyielding Desire (After The End Book 2) by Kit Tunstall Page B

opened his fly. He cupped one of her breasts, rubbing the nipple through the flannel and her bra.
    “Touch me, Mina.”
    She shook her head.
    With a small curse, Shane grasped one of her hands and pushed it against his cock. “Put your hand around me.” When she finally complied, he said, “Stroke and squeeze.”
    Moisture pressed against her closed eyes as she stroked his cock, hating the grunts of pleasure he made and the way he thrust against her hand. She hated it even more when he put his hand inside her underwear to touch her in a similar manner. When he coaxed her body to produce wetness, he withdrew his hand and pushed her jeans down to mid-thigh.
    She let go of him so he could do the same with his pants. Mina’s fingernails bit into her palms as she prepared herself for his violation. He pushed inside her with some discomfort, and she bit her lip to keep from crying out. No matter how many times he did this to her, she couldn’t imagine ever being okay with it. She might be forced to passively accept him, but she would never be blasé about it.
    Shane plunged into her hard and deep, slamming her back against the tree with each thrust. Mina tried not to cry out, but the pain was mounting, and she finally groaned. Immediately, she looked at him, bracing herself for another hit.
    “You like that, huh?” His face was red with exertion.
    Mina blinked at his cluelessness.
    “Tell me how much you like it, baby girl.”
    Her mouth felt numb as she whispered, “I like it.”
    “Do you love it when I pound you?” He moved more urgently, scraping her back up and down the tree.
    Tears of pain came to her eyes, but she nodded. “Love it,” she mumbled.
    “You’re going to love this.” He surged deep within her, filling her as he came.
    As he spent himself inside her, Mina let her head roll to the side, not looking at him. He kissed her neck, and as he said against her ear, “Be waiting for me tonight,” she honestly hated her life at that moment.
    *****
    She made herself wait for him. Mina lay tensely under the covers, unable to sleep, and waited for the sound of her door opening. It came late in the night. Without a light to see the clock, she couldn’t be sure what time, but estimated around midnight.
    He shed his clothes before climbing into the bed with her. Mina couldn’t help comparing the sly way he sneaked into her bed with the way she’d been going to Coop for the past week. Would he worry about her tonight, since she hadn’t come to him? Her stomach jolted with dread as she considered the possibility he might come check on her. If he found Shane in her bed, without her trying to fight him off, he’d never believe she wasn’t a willing participant. That would be the end of any possibility of having a relationship with Coop.
    She almost snorted aloud at the absurdity of that thought. There could be no relationship with Coop, beyond friendship. Shane would make sure of that. There was no escape from him.
    She squeezed her eyes shut when he stroked her face before bending his head to kiss her. The kisses were gentle and sweet, and he slipped his tongue inside her mouth to stroke hers. Mina wanted to bite his tongue, but knew she would pay harshly for rejecting him. It took all of her will power to just remain still under his coaxing onslaught, instead of shoving him away. Tenderness was so much worse than force.
    “Good girl, doing what you were told.” He quickly stripped off her nightgown and underwear. Mina squirmed with humiliation, but didn’t try to fight him. “A good girl like you deserves a reward.”
    “I don’t deserve anything,” she said in a raspy voice.
    “Sure you do.” He moved his mouth down her body, his ultimate goal easily inferred.
    Mina shook her head, whimpering in protest, as he violated her in the most intimate way possible. She cursed him and herself as her body responded. When he’d made her come twice, he seemed satisfied with his cruelty and entered her. She
