He stops in front of me, so close I can see flecks of gold swimming in his amber eyes. "You really think you want casual sex with random strangers? You think that'll cure whatever drew you here?" His lips pull down into a disapproving frown. His face seems carved from granite. "Trust me, Rebel. You can haunt this fucking place until you've seen it all. It won't change anything."
"Maybe. Maybe not." I smirk defiantly, tossing my head to shake my hair out. "But at least I won't have my V-card anymore. That has to count for something, right?" I slip past him, not sure why I said that. Not sure why I want to push his buttons and shock him. Something about him makes me want to push and needle just to see what he does. Just to make him notice me.
It's ridiculous, bratty behavior, but, well…if the shoe fits. I've never been particularly good at following the rules. I'm independent and stubborn and a little bit wild. Jonas isn't the only troublemaker in the family. I've caused plenty of my own.
A weird, rumbling sound comes from Kellan, almost like a wild animal growling a warning. I shift to look over my shoulder at him, but before I can, I'm pressed up against the wall, my cheek to the cool wood.
"You're a fucking virgin?" he growls in my ear, his hard body pressed to mine.
"Yes. Get off of me." I shift around, trying to throw him off, but he's an immovable mountain against my back. "Jesus, do you really need all of those muscles, or is it a vanity thing?"
"You're a virgin, and you're in a fucking sex club?"
"Didn't we cover this with yes?"
He growls wordlessly, and then his body shifts off mine. I don't even get a chance to move before he smacks my ass. Hard.
I jolt upward, crying out in shock.
"That's for being a smartass," he mutters and then spanks me again. "And that's for coming here tonight." He wheels me around with his hands on my shoulders. His face is a thundercloud. He's not a little bit angry. He's furious. Why is that so hot to me? "I should tie you to the fucking bed and spank the shit out of you for willingly following Gordon upstairs, Rebel."
Yes, please. Do that.
I gape at him, shocked at how mad he is. And at how hot it is. Good grief. He just spanked me like I'm a recalcitrant child, and I didn't hate it. In fact, I'm beginning to think if he had a riding crop, I wouldn't hate it at all. My entire body is heavy and aching, demanding release.
"Kellan," I whisper.
He drags me into his arms, silencing me with his lips on mine. His tongue flicks against my bottom lip before he licks inside, stealing my sanity. My legs tremble, my entire body going weak as he kisses me like he might die if he doesn't do it right now. His tongue wreaks havoc on my senses, threatening to annihilate what little self-control I have.
I whimper into his mouth, my nails digging into the expensive fabric of his jacket. His rich taste is intoxicating. So is the way he controls me as if I'm his to command.
Reality threatens to spin away. He's dangerous, and his kiss is a weapon. Only…I like the danger. I live for this pain. But it's over far too soon.
He breaks the kiss, ripping his mouth from mine.
I drag my eyes open, staring at him in a daze. I think he just ruined me.
"We're leaving," he snaps, his amber eyes pools of molten flame. "Now, Rebel."
I gulp and nod.
Chapter Three
Kellan
Parker doesn't say a word until we're in my Escalade. Neither do I. The fact that she's a virgin is fucking with my head in a major way. She just saw God only knows what in Dionysus. That shouldn't be her introduction to sex. Jesus Christ.
Why was she even there?
The very real possibility that she intended to sleep with some other motherfucker tonight has me ready to snap. I can't have her…yet I damn sure don't want anyone else touching her either.
She should be mine.
Who am I kidding? In my head, I think she's been mine for the last six months. I've just been trying like hell to pretend it away, as if refusing to acknowledge the feeling will make it go away. Her brother is my best friend. He's my teammate. He'll never approve of me with his baby sister.
And yet I want it anyway. I want to be good enough for her anyway.
I shoot him a quick text as soon as we're in my Escalade. His reply comes through immediately.
Jonas: I got caught up downstairs. Did you find her??
I glance toward the passenger seat where she's sitting in complete silence, deep in thought about something. I almost shudder to think what's going on behind those blue eyes. I doubt it's anything good.
