CHAPTER 16
BRYNN
I startle awake at the sound of insistent knocking at my door. Bleary eyes search out the glaring red numbers on the alarm clock sitting on the bedside table. It reads 4:05 A.M. What the hell? Another round of knocks sound against the door, and I pull myself out of the tangle of my bed sheets, movements sluggish as I plod toward the door.
âThis had better be the fucking apocalypse knocking at my door,â I mutter as I slide the chain loose from the security lock before disengaging the deadbolt and twisting the doorknob.
I blink against the bright light haloing the broad figure in my doorway. My stomach jumps as Owen takes one step forward, cupping my face in his callused hands as his familiar scent, though tinged lightly with smoke, fills my nostrils. I suck in a deep breath, letting the comfort of his presence wash over me. âYou wanted a couple nights of fun, Brynn?â
His voice is low and husky, sending a shot of heat straight to my core. Itâs not exactly the sentiment I had hoped to convey earlier, but itâs close enough I suppose. âY-yes,â I stutter out. The word barely makes it out of my mouth before he crowds me, backing me into the room and kicking the door closed behind me. He shrugs out of his coat, revealing a dark t-shirt that stretches obscenely over his broad shoulders and muscled chest. My eyes drag lower, to where the shirt tucks into his dark pants, but my eyes snap up when he chuckles, the sound husky.
âFine,â he says, his tone tinged with a resolute sort of determination that sends tingles down my spine.
My sleep-hazed mind struggles to keep up as he snakes one of his hands from my jaw to the back of my head, pushing his splayed fingers through my hair. He closes his hand, fisting my hair and pulling my head back. My mouth falls open on a gasp of surprise that he swallows in a searing kiss. Our lips tangle as he inches my head back further, giving him the upper hand to dominate the kiss. His tongue delves into my mouth, and his free hand traces the length of my side before circling around to palm my ass in a stinging grip that sends a shudder down my spine.
Owen bites my lip, hard, and Iâm reminded in an instant of the unforgiving way Monty fucked me the first time in his hall. The simmering heat in my blood cools as if I were a molten hot piece of metal dipped in a bucket of cold water. I pull away from Owen, a gasp falling from my tingling lips. Rough didnât surprise me with Montyâthe thought of hard and fast with the until-this-moment gentle man in front of me throws me off-kilter, though. I stagger back a step, pulling out of Owenâs grasp as my mind reels in confusion.
What the fuck am I doing? I think as his face shutters, eyes darkening but not with the lust Iâd seen there seconds before.
