Chapter 15

Everly

I want to kill him. That much is obvious. My body is still throbbing from the shower, wanting release more than I’ve ever wanted it before. Wanting him inside me, really inside me. But I think I knew by the second time he toyed with me he wasn’t going to give me what I wanted.

The football game ends at nine-thirty, and I start to feel restless. I’m not sure if Cullen is going to want a ride home or if he’ll stay. And I don’t want to ask, afraid he’ll say it’s time to go. I really shouldn’t want him here as much as I do. Even if he sleeps on the couch, even if he gets off again and I don’t, I’m still happier with him here. It’s better than nothing, and nothing is what I had before.

He doesn’t move as the TV transitions into some late-night show. I let out a yawn, moving to clean up, and as I pass by the couch, he grabs me by the leg, wrapping his arm around my thigh and tugging me closer.

“I’m sleeping here,” he says, and I swallow.

“Fine,” I reply, doing my best to look like I don’t care. I pick up his half-eaten Chinese food carton and try to move away, but he still holds me in place.

“I know it’s fine.”

“I’ll bring you a blanket,” I mumble, biting my lower lip.

“Why? You sleeping on the couch?” With that, he yanks me onto his lap.

“It’s not for me,” I answer. Glancing back at him, his eyebrows shoot up and his mouth drops open.

“You want to be sassy now? Okay then.” In a swift movement, he stands up, taking me with him, his arm wrapped around my waist as he hoists me up and heads for the bedroom. I manage to empty my arms onto the coffee table without spilling too much. A laugh bubbles out of me as he tosses me on the bed.

I put up a fight, crawling away, but he grabs me by the ankle, jerking me toward him. Letting out a scream laced with laughter, I push away from him, but he’s so much stronger than I am. Plus, I don’t really hate the idea of being at Cullen’s mercy, not anymore.

This thing between us has morphed from actual torment to superficial torment, like we’re playing the parts, fulfilling roles. He is my punisher, and I am welcoming my discipline.

“Come here, you little brat,” he commands, and I hear the playfulness in his tone. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t push him the way I do. Underneath it all, I did really fear Cullen, and maybe I still do. And while we are far from being friends and even farther from being lovers, we can still play with each other. Not everything needs to be so serious all the time.

He climbs onto the bed, covering my body with his. He wrestles my wrists from my chest and pins them above my head.

Looking into his eyes with a dare on my face, I say, “Don’t start something you can’t finish.
