“What’s wrong?”
“Are you seriously asking me that? I let you fuck me to keep my sister from failing, and then you go around and blackmail her into getting me fired. You’re a sick fucking bastard. I need you to leave. Now.”
He walks back into the bedroom, and I hear him get dressed. I do my best to wipe the tears from my cheeks when he comes out of the bedroom. He’s not entirely dressed. He’s only wearing his jeans with his T-shirt thrown over his left shoulder, and damn does the bastard look sexy. “Listen, babe. I’m not going anywhere. I only got dressed because you’re pissed and naked under that robe, and fuck me, it’s a sexy sight.” I look down and see that it’s all but untied, leaving most of my cleavage and stomach showing. I adjust it because he doesn’t get to look at me like that anymore.
I should be kicking him out, but I’m not demanding he leaves. I’m mentally telling myself that it’s because I want to hear what he has to say, which is a total lie. “First, I know your ass didn’t fuck me to keep your sister’s grade safe, and you know that’s true, so if you ever lie about that again, I’m going to take you over my knee and spank that ass like I’ve been thinking about all damn day. Second, I’m not just a lowly professor at a small college, so my money is enough to take care of both of us. Lastly, you already work for me.”
“Work for you? Are you nuts?”
“No, although I have to say you’ve turned me into a mad man who will rip the head off another man for even looking at you.” I roll my eyes even though something in his expression tells me that he’s deadly serious.
“I’m a silent partner in King’s company. I have been for the past ten years long before it became the success that it is. We grew up together, and while he went to college, I joined the military. I come from a family with money, so I partnered with him. I haven’t looked into his staffing because none of it mattered. We never talk shop when we hang out, which is rare as fuck.”
“So, in reality, you’re firing me.”
“Well, yes, but since I’m not actually your boss, I can’t do that.”
“Why can’t I work there then?”
“Because there’s a no fraternization policy. It’s one of the many standards we put in the company to avoid any impropriety. Then you stumbled into my world, and I’m not allowing you to leave it until I’ve taken my last breath on this earth.”
“Why do you teach then?”
“Because I hate wearing a suit.” I frown at him. “Honestly, I had no interest in a career in business, but I’m killer at numbers, so I got my degree in teaching.”
“So wait, if you’re a half-owner of King corporation, then that means you’re rich too.”
“Yes, and that’s why you’re canned. There’s no need for my wife to work, especially for that good looking son of a bitch. Besides, you’re free to spend your time traveling with me, or babysitting a rambunctious five-year-old with a My Little Pony obsession.” He slides his arms around my waist and pulls me close, spinning me so that my back is pressed into his chest. Leaning down with his hand splayed over my belly, he whispers, “Or we can spend time watching our babies grow.”
“Babies?”
“Yes, I want a dozen or so.”
“Yeah, well, I want to live in a castle.”
“That can be arranged. In fact, there’s definitely room in the family castle for a dozen babies. Since you’re a twin, maybe you only get pregnant six times.”
“Only six? How kind of you.”
“Well, I am a sweetheart, even though you hate me.”
Annoyed? Yes.
Hatred? Not even close. “I don’t hate you.”
“Good, because I’m only teasing. One or twenty kids, it doesn’t matter because, from the moment I saw you, I knew we belonged together.”
“Damn, and I was looking forward to the castle.” I playfully tease as I try to process the warmth running through me at his promises.
“Well, that’s not a joke. I told you I came from a wealthy family.”
“Then why are you here?”
“I wanted a calm life.”
“No. I mean me. Why? You can have any woman you want?”
“Because you’re the woman I want, and I take that very seriously. I didn’t just fuck you. I sealed our fates. If that takes you some time to figure it out, it’s fine, but as far as I’m concerned, this is it. You’re the one for me.”
“We’ve only known each other for a few hours.”
“My father always told me that when you know, you know. Besides, you might not know everything about me, but I did a lot of research since you walked into the classroom.”
“Is that what had you so busy that you didn’t see me leave?”
“Exactly. And what the hell did Ben Lee say to you?”
“What do you mean?” I have no idea who Bennet’s talking about. I barely noticed anyone accept him the entire class.
“That fuck that walked out with you. What did he say?”
Ah. Now, I remember who Bennet’s talking about. “He asked me out to lunch.”
“And?” He stands there waiting for an answer that I thought was pretty obvious since I can’t remember the guy’s name.
“I said no.” I roll my eyes as I answer his ridiculous question.
“Good girl. I’d hate to have to fail or kill him.”
He whispers that last part as if saying it to himself, so I ask for clarification. “Kill?”
“Did I say kill?” That feigned innocence doesn’t work at all, and he calls me a bad actress.
“Yeah, you did.”
Smiling brightly, he shrugs off his words. “Well, I meant it. You’re mine, and I’m not letting anyone steal you away.”
“But I owe that one guy a date,” I tease, hoping to wipe that cocky look off his handsome face.
“Only if you want your ass tanned.” He grabs me around the waist, unties my robe, and then spins me around, so my ass is pressed against his cock. Leaning in, he whispers in my ear as his hand slips down my body, over my stomach, cupping my pussy. “I’m betting you want me to spank your sexy ass.” His severe yet smooth threat rushes through my body, causing me to shiver.
“No,” I lie, pushing my ass against his bulge, needing him to relieve the tension coiled in me. This man has made me putty in his hands. I’m officially ruined, and I want more of it, more of him.
“God, I want to be inside you so damn badly, but I’ve hurt your little pussy enough for one night.” He pumps two fingers inside, painfully stretching me before I feel the sting of the slap to my ass, and I’m coming all over his fingers.
“You’re a beautiful liar.” He kisses my neck before letting me go.
“Unfortunately, sexy. I have to go back to the college to clear out my office.”
“What? Why?”
“This was my last semester.”
“What about the grades?”
“I entered those before five yesterday.”
“Now who’s the liar?”
“You got me there, baby. How about I come to pick you up after I get all my shit, and we go out to dinner tonight?”
