‘It’s just a saying, Alex,’ I wrapped my arms around his neck. ‘Please can we forget about Bobby?’
‘It sounds more like a threat to me. There is no way you are working with that guy, Alana. I don’t care if I have to keep you locked up in this house.’
‘I know. I’m going to tell Kristen I won’t be working on the app with him,’ I said with a sigh.
‘What app?’
‘He’s developing some app for abuse victims. He wanted me to work on it with him.’ I felt Alejandro’s grip on me tighten. ‘I’m not going to. I don’t want anything to do with him,’ I shuddered and he stared down at me.
‘Did he do something to you?’
‘No,’ I shook my head. ‘He just said something, that’s all.’
‘What? What the hell did he say?’
I took a deep breath. ‘He asked me if I would have let him fuck me if he had killed someone too,’ I whispered.
The vein in his forehead throbbed as he glared at me. ‘He is a fucking dead man!’
I pressed my face against his chest. ‘He is really not worth it, Alejandro. He’s probably already halfway back to New York by now. Please, just forget about him.’
He grabbed hold of my ponytail and wrapped it around his fist, tilting my head up to look at him. ‘For your sake, princess, I won’t hunt him down like a dog and put a bullet in his head. But, if I ever see him anywhere near you again, I will break his goddamn neck.’
‘I’m still going to work at the shelter though,’ I said. ‘I’ll explain to Kristen that I don’t want to work with him, but I’m not giving up my job, Alex.’
He frowned at me and I wondered if he was going to keep on pushing to get his own way, or whether he would relent.
‘Fine,’ he finally agreed before slipping his hands down to my ass cheeks and lifting me onto the breakfast bar. He pushed my dress up to my waist and tugged my panties to one side.
‘Lucia might come back in,’ I breathed.
‘She’s not stupid. She knows we’re in here. She’ll knock.’
‘Shouldn’t we go upstairs though? Or to your office?’ I panted, even as I pulled him closer to me.
‘No. I want you right here. Right now,’ he growled, pushing two of his thick fingers into my opening as he unzipped his suit pants with his free hand, making me groan out loud. ‘I want you to remember that I own you, princess, and I will fuck you anywhere and any way I want to. And you will moan my name. Every. Single. Time.’
Dear God!
‘Care to tell me why you’re already soaking wet, princess?’ he said against my ear as he pressed his fingers in deeper and curled them against my G-spot. The low vibration of his voice sent shivers down my spine and I ground my hips onto him.
‘Because you are so freaking hot when you’re angry,’ I purred against his neck.
‘Oh, princess, you know how dangerous it is to make me angry, don’t you?’
‘Yes,’ I breathed.
‘Coz I’m gonna fuck you so hard you won’t be able to get out of bed to go to work for the rest of the week.’
