“Look,” I said as I put my hands on her shoulders. “You need to respect my boundaries. I’m a dangerous man, Jade, and the more you push, the more you mess with fire. Don’t do something that winds up getting you in deeper than you wanted to go, okay?”
Jade looked at me in surprise. “And, what if I don’t?” she challenged.
“Then, you’re going to end up waking the beast,” I told her with a shrug. “And, that’s something you don’t want to do. Trust me. This is for your own good. I don’t want you to get in over your pretty little head, and you are well on your way to doing that.”
I turned to go, assuming she would be satisfied with what I said. But, she wasn’t done yet. I had pegged Jade for someone with attitude, but I didn’t know she was the kind of girl to speak her mind this much.
I had to admit, there was a part of me that really liked it. I couldn’t get enough of her, that was for damn sure, and that in itself bothered me. How the Hell was I going to get through to her what she would get herself into if she were to go after me?
As tempting as it was, as hard as my dick got in my pants just standing there thinking about it, I knew I had to do the right thing. And, that meant I had to make her understand once and for all what would happen if she were to cross that line and come after me after I told her to respect my boundaries.
“You wouldn’t be able to handle the results,” I said with a small smile. “This is for your own good, little girl. You’re going to want to listen to what I have to say.
“I’m not the kind of guy you think I am, and if you think you can handle this, then you’ve got another thing coming. Trust me when I say you’re better off behind that counter, handing me bags and taking my money.”
“Ha!” she gave a short laugh sounding more like a bark as I turned to go once more. “You think that’s going to make me stop? I asked you a question, and I want to know the answer. Or, I might not want to leave your boundaries alone.”
I turned slightly. I had been on my way out the door, but with her challenge, I realized I was going to have to let her know without any shred of doubt what she was getting herself in to.
Grabbing her by the wrist, I dragged her through the swinging door toward the back of the pharmacy. I knew I wasn’t allowed in there, but I didn’t care. I pushed Jade up against the wall, pinning her there with my arm as I held my purchases in the other hand.
But then, being so close to her without both hands free wasn’t enough. I dropped the things I was holding to the floor, not caring where they landed.
She let out a soft squeak, enough to drive me wild. But, she looked up at me with an almost challenging look. It took all the self-control I had in me not to kiss her.
“If you don’t respect the boundaries,” I growled, “then I’m going to take you, strip you bare, swallow you whole, and leave you whimpering and begging.”
My cock was rock hard in my pants, and the temptation to lift her skirt and thrust myself into her was almost unbearable. I wasn’t sure how she would respond to any of this, so I watched her like a hawk as I pushed myself against her.
I felt her entire body as I held her against the wall, the curves of her body soft and luscious against my own. I didn’t know how much experience she had in the bedroom, but I had to admit, I was rather surprised with the way she was coming right back at me now.
There wasn’t anything but a heat and desire in her eyes. Something that begged me to keep going. She didn’t want to stop, and she didn’t care about my words of warning, either. It was clear she knew what she was doing, and she wasn’t going to change any of it because of what a warning.
This was the kind of girl who was willing to take a risk. I didn’t know if she was aware of what that would mean, or if she even cared, for that matter. All I knew was that she wasn’t backing down, not even in the slightest.
There was a look of assuredness about her, even with the innocence she maintained.
She was already dangerously close to waking the beast, that was for damn sure.
And, I wasn’t sure what would happen if she did.
Chapter 5
Jade
My heart raced in my chest; my palms were wet. My breasts rose and fell as I drew in quick, short breaths, looking up into Draven’s eyes with a steady gaze.
I’d never had anyone speak to me that way before, and I knew it should make me want to walk away. I knew I should turn and go, leaving him in the room and retreating back to where I knew I was safe. I knew I should be smart about this, I should listen to the instincts I had – well, the instincts I knew my father would tell me to have.
I shouldn’t enjoy this. I shouldn’t want this. I shouldn’t be as wet as I was or wanting him as much as I did. I knew that. But, that didn’t change the fact that I did. I wanted him more than I’d ever wanted anyone else in my life, and I wasn’t sure what to do with that feeling.
There was no denying it. With his hands holding mine up against the wall, his body pressed against mine, I had the chance to feel him entirely. I could feel his hard dick in his pants and the way he trembled as he pushed himself against me.
He might be giving me a warning to stay away from him, but that’s all it was: a warning. It didn’t change what I wanted to do – or what I was going to do, for that matter.
I knew a choice was presenting itself to me. I knew I should be smart about this and do what Dad would say. I should push Draven back, take what he said to heart, and walk away. I should go back to my safe, predictable job and focus on getting through the orders day after day.
I shouldn’t give any more thought to what I wanted to do with Draven, or what I hoped he would do to me. I knew it. I knew it would be much smarter to live my life on the side of caution and not worry about what he was doing.
But, that wasn’t what was happening here. That wasn’t what I was going to do. No, I had thought long and hard about this and what I wanted from him. There wasn’t any denying that now.
Ever since the day I’d first laid eyes on Draven, I had been fantasizing about him and the things I wanted him to do to me. I had thought about how I wanted to make him moan, make him feel things that only I could make him feel. I wanted to make him want me more than any other woman on the planet.
I dreamt of him doing this very thing to me.
Sure, this was far more intense than what I had ever thought possible. I had always sensed he would be the one who called the shots in the bedroom, but I didn’t know that meant he would be this domineering.
And, I didn’t know it would make me so wet if he was.
Sure, it might be smarter for me to just turn and walk away – to forget about this entire crazy plan and listen to what he was telling me. It might be smarter just to let this all go and move on with my life, being safe and taking care of my father. But, Draven had awoken something inside me. The more he pressed his body against mine, the more I wanted him.
Hell, the more I needed him.
My entire life was going to Hell around me, there was no denying that, and I felt helpless to do anything about it. I was watching my life crumble, and I hated it. I hated not being able to do anything about my dad. I hated not being in control.
But right now, I felt something powerful. I felt myself giving the control to someone who could take care of it. I found myself giving everything I so often fought to hold onto to someone who was stronger than me. Someone who was more capable than me.
I didn’t know what it was, but there was just something about Draven and the way he moved against me that made me want to please him. I wanted to let him be in control. I wanted to give myself to him further.
Without a word, I took a step forward. I wasn’t going to shy away from this. I wasn’t going to pull back or cower. I was going to prove to him I wasn’t afraid to be a little risky. He might not know all the shit I was going through in the rest of my life, but then, he didn’t need to, either.
I wanted to take a risk here. I wanted to live on the wil
d side. I wanted to embrace all that he offered – even if he didn’t realize he was offering it. I wanted to know what it was like to be with him. I wanted to know what it was like to have him. I wanted to finally reach out and take what I wanted in life.
I didn’t want to just be the girl hiding behind the pharmacy counter and only dreaming of what life could be. I wanted more. And, I was going to take the chance now.
If Draven didn’t want this – if he didn’t want me – then he would be the one to walk away. I was going to do this. I was going to see what happened, and that was going to happen now.
I ran my hands up his chiseled abs, all the way over his tight pecs. He was so strong, so developed. I grew wetter the more I explored him. I couldn’t get enough of him, really. His body, his being.
Everything about him turned me on more than I thought possible, and a shiver ran through me. I looped my arms up and around his neck, ignoring his warning as he growled my name.
“Jade, you don’t know what you’re about to do-”
But, I did. Turning my face upward toward him, our lips met. It wasn’t a slow, gentle, kiss by any means. It was rough, it was hard, and it was meant for the heat of the moment. Our lips were fierce as they worked over each other, the lust between us evident as soon as we touched.
I was so taken in the moment, it was hard for me to remember to breathe. I felt he knew everything about me. I felt he held the core of my being. He had me, and he wasn’t letting go.
I didn’t want him to let go, either. I wanted more of him, I wanted all of him.
I continued to run my hands over him as he kissed me hard. But, his hands were doing most of the work now. He didn’t waste any time grabbing my tit, massaging me in his palm before sliding his hand down my flat stomach and right to the hem of my short skirt.
He sent a shiver through me as he ran his hand all the way up my thigh and to my panties, slipping his fingers underneath.
“Good girl,” he breathed in a tone I’d not heard before. “Already wet for me. That’s what I like to see.”
I was breathless, wishing he would take my panties off and thrust his cock inside my pussy. I didn’t care that we were in the middle of my workplace. I didn’t care I had to get back to my shift in just a few minutes. All I cared about was the heat of the moment and the fact his hands were all over me.
I couldn’t get enough of him. I never wanted this to end. I was so turned on by him, I could hardly think straight, and all the rest of the world seemed to fade away.
He pulled back from me, taking my panties with him. I hoped for a moment that he was going to make my dream come true. I hoped he was going to pull down his pants and pull out his cock before thrusting it into me. But, he took a step back.
“You clearly need me,” he said with a smirk that made a shiver run down my spine. “And, I’m going to take you. I’ll be back tonight. Remember how you behaved just now, and you’ll be in for a good time.”
He didn’t wait for me to reply, taking my panties with him. He shoved them in the back of his jeans before picking up the things he’d dropped, and then he pushed his way through the swinging door and back into the lobby, leaving me breathless.
I quickly adjusted my skirt and did my best to adjust my shirt. I knew I had to look presentable to get back on the floor, but it was hard for me to wrap my mind around what had just happened. That was hotter than anything I’d ever been part of before, and I couldn’t believe I had just gone through with it.
I wanted more, there was no doubt about that, and though I was rather inexperienced, there was something about Draven that made me feel confident. I didn’t know if he meant what he said when he told me he would be back, but there was a large part of me that hoped he did.
I wanted to feel him inside me. I wanted more of what had just happened. Hell, I wanted to go all the way with him. I didn’t care if he was a bad idea or if I knew better than getting caught up with someone like him.
All I knew was that he had turned me on in more ways than anyone else had ever before, and I wanted to find out where it would go. I couldn’t help it. He had awoken something in me I didn’t know was sleeping, and now that it was free, I was going to find out what it was all about.
He warned me I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into, but I could say the same to him.
I wasn’t sure what was about to happen, but I knew I wanted it more than I’d wanted anything else in my life before. I wanted him. I wanted to cut loose and see where this could go. I wanted to see what could happen. And, I was going to.
God, I was going to go through with this, I thought. Mistake or not, ready or not, this is what was happening, and I was making it happen.
Draven had been the one who caught my eye for a while now, and I wanted to see what that could really mean.
Chapter 6
Draven
I’d done my best to behave. I wanted to say that I had resisted the internal urge to make this woman my own. But, the way she had given herself to me, offering herself up to me like a sacrifice to a god…there was no way in Hell I was going to turn her down.
I warned her. I made it clear to her she was getting in over her head, and she had to know something big was going to go down if she got involved with me. But, she had insisted. She had gone not only willingly with me into that room, but she had pushed herself against me. She had been the one to instigate the kiss, and she had been right there with me as I explored her.
She was dripping wet when I touched her, and I was more than a little happy to take her panties as a trophy. I might give them back to her, I might not. Either way, I was happy with how the afternoon had gone. I spent the rest of it wrapping up what I had to so I could go back to the pharmacy at the end of the day and take her.
I’d told Jade I would be back, but she still looked surprised when I walked through the door just before closing. She was the last one there, getting ready to lock the door. With a smirk on her face, she met my gaze with a sultry gesture.
“Come here often?” she asked.
With a grunt, I grabbed her, picking her up and putting her on the counter of the lunch bar. She gasped as I ran my hands up her thighs, kissing her as I did so. Clearly, she wasn’t ready for someone who was so forward with what they wanted, but she was the one who had insisted we do this, and now that she was in my clutches, I wasn’t letting go.
I pushed my fingers into her, causing her to moan and gasp on the counter. She clearly wasn’t sure what to do with herself – intimidated by me, but wanting me at the same time. She wasn’t about to back out of this, but with the way she was clinging to my arm as I pleasured her soft pussy, I knew she wasn’t expecting something so intense so quickly.
She moaned, gasping as I continued to play with her clit, sending the waves of pleasure through her. But, it wasn’t until I felt her cumming around my fingers that I pulled my hand away, letting the wet leave a trail on her thigh as I did so.
“Here?” she asked in disbelief, but it was already done, and I only gave a curt nod before lifting her back off the counter and setting her on the floor.
“Let’s get going,” I said, heading for the door. I knew the cameras would have picked up on what had just happened, but I didn’t care, and she clearly hadn’t given it another thought. Instead, she trotted along behind me, locking the door on our way out.
“We’re taking my bike back to my place,” I told her.
She nodded, though she did give her car a glance. I didn’t ask if she wanted to bring it. That wasn’t an option, after all. No, I was going to be the one to take her to my place, and then I would let her leave when I was ready for her to go.
Throughout all the relationships I’d had with women in my life, I was in control. I knew what was best for them, and I was going to guide them in the way they should be going. Of course, I wanted them to be happy. I didn’t ask them to do anything that I knew wouldn’t make them happy in the long run.
Jade didn’t question it, ei
ther. She followed me briskly, heading straight for my bike as though it was the most natural thing in the world. She didn’t even hesitate climbing onto the back after I’d gotten on, though it was hard for her to keep her skirt down far enough as she straddled the ride behind me.
She wrapped her hands around me as I sped off, leaving a black mark on the pavement. It had been a long time since I was this excited about taking a woman home with me, and damn, I couldn’t wait to get Jade back to my place.
We came to a screeching halt, her clinging to me like she had the entire ride back to my place. But, I didn’t waste any time with showing her around. We weren’t there for a tour. This was my house, and she wasn’t there to give me her opinion on it.
I didn’t care what she thought of it or what I had done with the place. All I cared about was one thing, and that was between her legs. I headed straight for the gate of my yard, then right up to the house. I walked with quick deliberation as she followed along with just as quick of a stride.
Her shoes clicked on the pavement as we reached the door, but it didn’t take long for me to have it unlocked and swinging open. I knew she was coming over that night, and I’d already prepared the place for her to be there.
It wasn’t very tidy, but I wasn’t a tidy person. I didn’t have the time for that sort of thing. There was too much else going on in my life for me to worry about how picked up my house was. Most of the company I brought home with me was for the purpose of having a one-night stand. They were gone first thing in the morning, and I never had to deal with them again, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Then, there were the other members of the club who would come over from time to time, but they didn’t give a shit about how tidy the place was, either. As long as it was clean, I was okay with that. But right now, I only had my mind on one thing: Jade.
As soon as the door closed behind her, I locked it, and then was on her like a lion. I didn’t have any interest in taking off her clothes. I didn’t care to wait that long. I had been waiting for months to take her and had long since resigned myself to the fact it likely wasn’t ever going to happen.
