She opened her mouth, closed it, and stomped toward the bathroom. “I’m not talking to you.” She went to go into the bathroom and turned to look at him. “How dare you call me selfish. I would never do something like that. I can’t even believe you’d think that. It pisses me off that you think I could be that cruel. You’re not fair at all, and I don’t like you.”
“Fair? You think I ever play by fair rules? Do you know what happens to people who try to play fair? They get crushed, Grace. Do you really think you’d look at me a second or a third time if you knew the kind of crap I do?”
“I would never treat you any less.”
“I kill.”
“I know. I’ve seen. You can’t control everything around you.”
“No, but when it comes to you, I can do whatever the hell I want.”
“I hate you,” she said, feeling even more childish as they continued.
He reached out, grabbing the back of her head. “No, you don’t, and it pisses you off that I can get under your skin.”
She had a comeback, but as his lips brushed across hers, all argument faded. What was the point in arguing when it felt so good to be kissing? Why did people even talk?
****
Caleb never took the time to celebrate the holidays. It was something his sister tried to do, but he didn’t conform. There was no point in it. People were shit as far as he was concerned, and he wouldn’t dress them up as anything else just because the country demanded it. He didn’t do crap like that.
For Grace, it was different. Flooded with guilt at never giving his sister what she wanted, he promised himself to make up for it now. To give her son everything she ever wanted for him. James would want for nothing until the time came he’d have to train the boy.
Sinking his fingers into Grace’s hair, kissing her lips, feeling her soft, full body pressed against his own, his cock filled, hardening as he felt her moan.
She went from trying to push him away to winding her arms around his neck, holding him close. With one hand in her hair, he gripped her ass with the other, tightening his hold on her. Rather than go into the bathroom, he moved her back, taking her toward the bed. She didn’t fight him.
Instead, she began to open his shirt.
He knew she wouldn’t be able to resist him for long. With her damaged shoulder, he’d have to take it easy, but he had no intention of fucking her tonight.
There was so much more he wanted, and Grace needed to see him for not being a monster. He at least wanted her to look at him with pleasure.
Laying her down on the bed, he kept his weight between her thighs, kissing her.
He slid his lips down her body, going to her neck, then slowly, he started to move to her chest. Unbuttoning the buttons, he opened up her shirt, revealing her bra. He’d purchased all her clothes for her. After the men had taken her, he’d ransacked her apartment, getting everything he thought she would need. Her clothes had been well-worn. Taking the sizing, he’d gone shopping.
If she thought the clothes belonged to anyone else, she’d be wrong. All the pajamas she wore were all picked by him.
Caleb didn’t want to think about why he did what he did. Only that he cared enough to make Grace fall for him. It was all part of his bigger plan, to prove even the sweetest could be just as evil.
You’re not going to do it.
She’s going to prove you wrong.
Pushing those thoughts aside, he continued to open her shirt, flicking the catch of the bra and finally getting to the tip of her pants.
She let out a moan as he fingered the button and slid it open. Then she whimpered his name. “I’m not even close to touching you yet.” Stepping away from the bed, he stared down at her and began to remove his clothes.
Her face went bright red as she sat up.
Caleb didn’t stop her as she started to get naked. He wanted to see every single part of her. There was no room for hiding, not from him.
Once they were naked, he wrapped his fingers around his cock, staring at her body. She was as perfect, just as he knew she’d be.
“You have no idea how much I want you,” he said.
She wrapped her arms across her chest with a smile. “I think I can see for myself.”
He winked at her. “He’s giving the game away.”
“I’ve never done this. Do you want me to…? What do you want me to do?”
Damn, her words were fucking killing him. He didn’t know if he was going to be able to control himself.
