Eyes lit with challenge, he jerked her off the wall Supporting her with strong hands that gripped her bottoid erection, the new position creating a slippery friction against her clitoris With a throatyher hips in tih the haze of lust, Brent’s sexually charged gaze hurtling her into orgasled to keep her eyes open so she could watch him find his own release and was rewarded by his expression of absolute surrender His teeth sank into his bottoratification that escaped him

No sooner had he finished than he let Hayden slide down his body to the floor Before she could decipher his intention, he spun her toward the wall Her palainst the cool surface to brace herself as his big hand came down hard once on her bottoh the eh her Then he pulled her back against his chest and held her close, breath rasping in her hair

She didn’t have the strength to question hi her up at that moment, she suspected she’d be in a boneless heap on the floor Perhaps it didn’t require any examination He’d accepted her needs without question Allowed her to discover this new part of herself, all but abusing him in the process She could do the sa of his hand, knowing she’d pushed hi point? Yes, she had

Turned away from Brent, with him unable to see her face, she felt the sudden need to reassure herself about her actions He’d been in pain She’d…been turned on by his torment She didn’t kno to feel about that "I, um…I’m sorry I made you wait like that"

"Duchess, you can mistreat me like that any day of the week," heWhen she didn’t say anything for a long stretch, he turned her around to study her face She had no idea what he saw there Didn’t even know herself at that , bad dude I can take it And Hayden?" He kissed her long and hard "Let’s get on the sa it ever again"

Chapter Fourteen

Brent glanced over at a silent Hayden as they walked down the deserted boardwalk Well past sundown, the crowds had descended on the casinos and nightclubs, the beach forgotten until the next day Crashing waves combined with distant cheers fro establish an aht breeze lift Hayden’s hair and s like breeze and aht

It didn’t help that Hayden had gone mostly silent after his declaration that he intended to be the only one on whom she inflicted her particular brand of torture froht, but no need to vocalize that fact If her reaction served as any indication, it wouldn’t exactly have her floating on air and singing show tunes Apparently it was going to take so that they could work Yes, they’d started off as adversaries Yes, they came from two completely different worlds And, oh yes, they were as different as two people could get Seeing each other exclusively would mean an open mind on both their parts A lot of co But holy hell, if it ended the way tonight had, he’d deal with just about anything she could throw at him

Even now, he craved her body like an addiction It had begun alet back between her thighs See how far she’d push him next time He’d never been driven so far outside of his own consciousness as he’d been with his ck tucked tightly inside of her He’d never considered hiratification Now? Delayed gratification, party of one Your table is ready Christ, he’d coht train It had felt so damn unbelievable that it al…well, he didn’t really have an explanation for that, except that he’d wanted to punish her for ic in that?

Logic didn’t apply to thenets that suddenly switched poles and were now compelled toward the other When it came to their physical connection, the differences between thehtened the experience If he applied logic to their situation, he’d probably conclude that they rong for each other and the ridiculous sex was a product ofhad been He recognized that now He’d been goading her toward his bed since day one and thank Christ it had finally worked Otherwise, he’d belife

So, enjoy the sex and keep it siht of li their relationship to a physical diversion made him all kinds of antsy He didn’t want to limit them He wanted to hear her say the words, that she was his His to fight with His to soothe His to fk No one else’s Hayden, however, didn’t appear to share his interest in the idea Good thing he never turned down a challenge Especially when she looked like soling around her thoughtful face, lips swollen from his treatment of them, from their unbelievable treatment of his cock

Brent released a slow breath One battle at a ti too soon, jackass, and then worry about getting her back into bed

"So…Beaches, huh?" Brent cleared his throat "What is that, some kind of chick flick?" Of course, he’d seen Beaches Bette Midler was a national treasure He’d keep that to hi his masculinity

A brief flicker of humor shone in her eyes before she hid it "No, it’s a buddy cop "

Brent nodded, pretending to take her seriously "I’ll add it to my Netflix queue" Unable to help himself, he took her hand "And if you co to ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’"

Herturned into surprised laugher The kind that hten "You’re so lucky your boys weren’t here to hear that"

"Who do you think performs duets with me?"

She pursed her lips "Normally I would say Daniel, but Matt could be a potential dark horse"

Kind of like hiht they had each other pegged, but it turned out they hadn’t even scratched the surface She’d never seen it co to think about while witnessing a hed "I guess I was trying to remember the last time I cried"

Brent held his breath, afraid he’d open histhis rare gliotten et out of bed and find the remote," she said "Beaches came on Complete with commercial interruptions I was helpless to escape it"
