CADENCE
He took one step over to me and grabbed my hands and put them above my head.
"Stop it, before I ball gag you. This bitchy attitude is not you. If you are trying to piss me off it’s working and its fucking turning me on too. Why can’t we just enjoy each other tonight? Say what you need to say because I want it all out in the open." His eyes moved back and forth, almost making me want to wrap my legs around his waist.
I looked away. What did I want to say? Oh, I’ve missed you Paul and I think about you all the time. That I have deep emotional feelings for two men and why can’t I have you both? Why can’t you want me like I want you? Shit, I’ll be damned! Why didn’t he just stay his sexy ass overseas? I wanted Evan, but I also wanted him! Looking back now, my life was a complete circus. I couldn’t even defend my own choices if I tried.
He kissed me on my neck and I could feel myself blushing. Do not give in to him. Think about people in hell wanting ice water.
"Ah," escaped my lips. Damn, fuck, shit! Fight Cad, fight! His lips were just too tantalizing.
"Talk to me, sweetheart."
"I have nothing to say." I turned my head towards the window.
He raised his brow. "You were just doing a lot of talking a few seconds ago."
I kept my face turned to the window.
"By the way, good job on handling the frat boys."
I turned and looked up at his blue eyes. "You saw that?" My eyes nearly popped out of my head. He did follow me. That should’ve been my first warning right there.
"Yeah, and I’m sure Langston will deliver punishments if your instructions are not followed." He had that sexy, stupid, pissing-me-off smirk across his face.
"What do you know about handing out punishments?"
"Who do you think taught Langston? I have been a Dom since I was eighteen. I could break you if I wanted to."
I gulped. The intensity in his eyes spoke volumes of truth. I could see myself tied up naked and him giving me all kinds of punishment in those eyes. I had to blink to refocus. He was right up on me and I was resisting the urge to kiss him. Trust me, it took every single ounce of willpower I had left. I was supposed to have control tonight, and if he didn’t watch out, I could be delivering a punishment to him.
"I am the Mistress, I run shit tonight."
He laughed. What fucking humor did he see in that statement? I wanted to slap that damn grin off his face.
"That shit won’t work on me. Whatever bullshit or potion Langston gave you won’t work on me. You have to believe in it and I don’t."
I squinted my eyes. Damn him to hell!
"Should I punish you Cadence? Is that what you want? Just say the words and I will take you down there and show you who you are truly dealing with."
Those blue eyes were giving me fair warning. He stared me down from my eyes to my lips. My breath caught in my chest. He leaned over and kissed me. He deepened the kiss as he removed one of his hands and unzipped my dress.
"You didn’t answer me. If this is not enough, I can take you down there and show you my true colors. Just say it. Or do you want me to play the submissive and you can take your anger out on me," he whispered the last part in my ear. His hot breath against my flushed skin screamed to be touched. My brain had officially clocked out for the night.
Why was my anger slowly dissipating? I was losing this battle and I knew it.
I wrapped my arms around him. "I’m angry because you have been gone for so long and I thought you forgot about me. I thought you wouldn’t come back."
"I could never forget about you," he said.
"It’s a lie, but it’s okay. You can just show me."
"It’s not a lie. I have to be honest with you. I want you in the worst way. We just can’t be together in that way right now. We are on two different paths. I’m not ready for a serious commitment or a family. I consider you more than a friend. I have deep feelings for you, but if you are ready for a commitment I can’t give it to you now."
"So this is goodbye."
"It doesn’t have to be. Look at me Cadence." He pulled my chin towards him as I tried to look away. I will not cry. I will not cry. God, I was naive to think I had control over my own heart in that moment.
I looked back up at him. I couldn’t read his face. He seemed as if he was fighting something in his head.
"I don’t want to."
"Why?"
"Because if I do I will fall and it doesn’t matter if you want me or not, I will give you what you want."
He leaned his forehead against mine.
"I don’t want you upset or mad with me. I don’t want us to leave here angry. Don’t cry. I don’t want to ever see you cry. You’re my girl."
He kissed me and I kissed him back with everything I had. He deepened it and I lost all control. If this was going to be the last time, I was going to give him something he would never forget.
He slid off my dress as it stopped at my waist and slowly undid my strapless bra as it fell to the floor. He picked my hair up and pushed it to the side, exposing me "Still beautiful as ever," he whispered against my neck.
