liked it when she was passionate. Even if that meant she was pissed as hell.
I watched her walk away from me towards the door of the row house, her ass swaying back and forth as she stomped towards the door.
She always was stubborn and hotheaded.
“This is where I’ll be staying?” she asked. She almost looked disgusted.
“Better than that place you were at in Chicago. A fucking co-op? If your brother finds out the kind of places you were, he’ll be so pissed.”
“That’s not the only thing he’ll be pissed about,” she said as her eyes flashed. She was trying to trip me up and I knew it.
I opened the door and did a quick survey of the small townhome. No one else was there. Good.
I wasn’t going to have it. “I didn’t hear you complaining the other night when you were begging me for more,” I said as I grabbed her and pulled her into me. She wasn’t going to manipulate me, that wasn’t my game.
She was so close to me, her breath short and ragged, coming out in spurts as she looked up at me. I knew exactly what I was doing. I bent my head down and kissed her, the pent up irritation with her coming out in the way my lips melded with hers. I wasn’t gentle, fuck, I barely knew how to be. So I took it all out on her, forcing her into me as we both kissed and bit and scraped our teeth against each other’s lips. I slid my hands up under her shirt and grabbed her breasts, running my thumbs along her nipples. I could tell by the way she sucked in her breath that it was exactly what she wanted.
“You act like you’re all tough, but deep down you are just as depraved as I am,” I said as I whispered it into her ear. “I’d fuck you right here if I could.”
“But you can’t,” she said, and pushed me away. I let her. I would never force a woman into anything they didn’t want. It wasn’t my style. “We can’t do this.”

I pulled myself away from him. I couldn’t kiss him. Not here. Anyone could walk in and see us. What the fuck was I thinking?
“I’m not going to let this stand in our way,” Janson said. He towered over me as he put his arms on my shoulders. “I know what happened the other night was probably a mistake, but I can't help it. I don't want to let this go, not yet.”
“Do you have any idea what will happen to you? What will happen to us? I know what my family is, Janson. I know what they're capable of. You can't just ask me to spit in the face of that and come back here. This isn’t the world I want to be a part of.”
“It's the world you were born into. That I was born into. There's nothing we can do about it. It doesn't matter how far you run, where you go, they’ll find you. I'll find you.” The way he said it, I knew it was more than a threat. He stood over me, so muscular, so handsome. I couldn't resist him. No, I was still angry. I didn't have a choice to come back home. He’d stolen me away from everything that I was working towards.
I had to keep reminding myself that I couldn't let him cast a spell over me. It was my fault. I wanted him all this time, and I finally got what I wanted. They always told me to be careful what I wished for. Having him did nothing to satiate my lust. Even standing there in the room with him, I had to fight every urge I had to walk over wrap my arms around him and kiss him.
“What am I supposed to do? You have me here in this house, trapped like a prisoner.” I crossed my arms and tried not to pout. I might be nineteen, but I had no intention of acting like a child. I was a grown adult and I could have exactly what I wanted. Janson.
“I have to follow orders, Kat.” He wasn't angry, but I knew I was pushing it.
“Does my father know I'm here?” I asked.
A knock on the door interrupted us, and I stiffened, but he answered as he explained. “Of course not. This was all Greyson's idea. Your father didn't care where you were.”
I didn't think it would sting, but it did. He never really cared
