Psychopath? Nico struck me as a little slimy, but I figured he just wasn’t my type. “Talon, my mother would not date a psychopath.” Of course, I knew so little about my mother. Maybe she would. But Nico, a psychopath?
“Well, she is.”
I shook my head to clear it. “I don’t understand. Please just tell me what—”
He grabbed me and slammed his mouth down on the mine. It was an angry kiss, a punishing kiss. But what was I being punished for this time? For not telling Talon I had seen the tattoo on Nico?
But still I opened to him, let him take from me, let him punish me with his lips and tongue.
He broke the kiss and ripped my tank top off me. “Get on the fucking bed,” he gritted out.
“Talon, I—”
“I said get on the bed. Don’t make me repeat myself again.”
My lips trembled, but I obeyed. Equal parts of fear and arousal coursed through me.
I sat on the edge of my bed, my breasts bare, my nipples hard and longing for his touch. He grabbed my legs and pulled my sweatpants off. Then he ripped my lace panties in half getting them off me.
“Get on your hands and knees,” he commanded.
Shivering, I complied.
Slap! His palm came down on my ass.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Three more times, and the sting tingled through me, morphing into pleasure as I cried out.
“Damn it, Jade!” Slap! Slap! Slap!
“Talon—”
“Shut the fuck up!”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
I moaned into the comforter, bracing for another smack. But a feathery light touch drifted over me. First over my stinging ass, and then over my back, and then down my thighs.
“This is a pretty red scarf, blue eyes.”
My red silk scarf. It had been one of the last gifts from Colin. I’d gotten rid of most of them, but this one had seemed too nice to give away. It added a splash of color to my otherwise mundane lawyer’s wardrobe.
“What can we do with this?” Talon asked.
I gulped in silence.
“Turn over onto your back,” he said.
I obeyed, my ass still stinging.
Talon was fingering the scarf. “I think I’m going to use this as a blindfold.” His voice, though hard and cold, was laced with desire. “I’m going to cover your eyes with this, Jade, and I’m going to do whatever the fuck I want to do to you.”
My nipples were so hard. Adrenaline pumped through my veins. I had no idea what he was going to do, and I didn’t really care. My pussy gushed fresh juice.
“I’d like to bi
nd your hands, but you don’t have any bed posts.”
“Of course not. This is a futon.”
