“What?” Surprise flashes over her features. “Why?”

“You’re clean.” My hands are back on her arms.

“Anderson.” Her cute nose twitches. The shade of red on her cheeks is the darkest it’s ever been. “I didn’t mean it that way. You…”

She can do better thanwhatandwhy. I know she can.

She fought and cursed me in the basement.

I won’t let it end today. Won’t let her wild side die.

She needs that.

I need that. I’ll show her that she can be as pissed off, wild and furious as she likes around me.

Or anywhere. She could never be too much.

Truth is, I’ll never get enough of her.

Good thing I have my methods. I’ll use each and every one of them to drag the dark and unhinged side out of Harper.

The thought of driving her mad enough that she unravels almost coaxes a groan out of me.

“You started sayingYou.” My hands go to the sides of her neck. “I believe it was the beginning of a question.”

“Yes.” She nods and sucks in a breath. “You don’t want to touch me like that anymore?”

The embarrassment from begging me overwhelms her, so she tries to take a step back.

I hold her right where she is, waiting for more of her words.

“You’re done?” She gives them to me. “That’s it?”

Ah, more begging. Literal begging now.

With the way she is now, I have the ultimate control over her body.

I could have her here, up against the wall of the shower. On the floor. On her knees with the showerhead between her thighs as she gags and moans around my cock.

She’d let me.

It won’t be worth a damn thing without controlling her mind.

Patience.

“That wasn’t your question, I think. I’ll answer it anyway.” I tug on the showerhead, spraying water over the back of her body. Her front. Between her legs. I pretend she isn’t whimpering or leaning toward me. “Like I mentioned in the basement, you’re being discharged today. I’ll be heading to work after we eat breakfast. You’ll get to go home.”

I don’t say a word about how badly I need to be inside her. I’m maddened by it. By the need to touch her. Lick, kiss, and bite her everywhere.

“I won’t come back; I hope you realize that.” A pause. I’m being tested, and it’s fucking cute. “I might take an Uber from here straight downtown. A SWAT team will be swarming this place after I tell them what you’ve done to me. They’ll lock you up.”

“We both know you won’t.” Her eyes go wide when I wind my fist in her hair and tug.

“We do?”

“Yes.” The fear in your eyes feeds the animal within me. “You don’t know why you want me, and it’s eating you alive. But what really destroys you is the fact I never asked. I just took. You didn’t want it, Harper. You needed me. And I gave it to you.”

Her eyes flare. Green, passionate, and furiously beautiful. “Cut it out.”
