Ice floods my veins as smooth footsteps strategy, and fingers brush softly down the silk shoulder of my gown to my elbow, then throughout the naked pores and skin of my decrease arm. It’s simply sufficient weight that the material slips down as soon as extra, revealing my breasts over my rhinestone corset.

“I’ve been in search of you,” Vinny says, dropping into the chair Lindsey simply vacated and leveling me with a chilly, blue-eyed stare.

“I’m working,” I say pointedly, prepared him to recall that he’s not speculated to be bothering me at work. Shrugging again into my gown, I attempt to safe it higher with out staining it with the grease from my burger.

“You’re on break,” he counters. “Which implies we have now a little bit of… free time.”

Glancing on the clock, I want my dinner break had been nearer to over. “Ten minutes,” I state. “And I really want to complete consuming.”

Although I’ve fully misplaced my urge for food, I take one other large, sloppy chunk, spilling mustard down my chin as I hope the sight makes him need to go away.

“Mmm,” he moans appreciatively as an alternative, his eyes devouring my face. “I can’t wait to see that fairly little mouth full of one thing of mine.”

Leaning ahead, he reaches throughout the house to swipe the spilled mustard off my chin together with his thumb. I almost vomit when he sucks the digit clear and releases one other approving sound. Dropping my burger onto its plate, I seize my serviette and wipe my fingers and face. I can’t eat any extra, not with him proper right here, and I positively don’t need to go away the rest that he may attempt to eat off me.

Tossing the serviette down, I begin to stand. “Sorry, I simply realized I’ve one thing to do earlier than?—”

“Not so quick, angel,” Vinny insists, rising from the desk with me and greedy my wrist earlier than I can decide up my plate. “I’m positive you may spare a couple of moments in your fiancé, eh? Moreover, now that we’re engaged, I doubt my cousin will make a fuss if he finds you with me.”

He pulls me shut, wrapping an arm round my waist till our hips are pressed collectively. I can really feel his need urgent laborious in opposition to me, reminding me of what he’s actually right here for. Goosebumps erupt throughout my neck and shoulders, and I swallow laborious as I lean again—as distant from him as I can handle.

His cologne smells costly, and like he put far an excessive amount of on. The cloying scent leaves me feeling virtually lightheaded, and my lips half as I desperately attempt to suck in recent air.

It’s the primary time I’ve been this near him—other than the evening he slapped my ass. However that evening, Gleb was on prime of him so shortly that I hadn’t had a lot time to course of Vinny’s contact. Now it’s agonizingly repulsive, his grasping fingers making my coronary heart hammer regardless that he’s virtually tame in his molestation this time. As a result of he doesn’t grope my breasts, like his eyes say he needs to, and his hand stays on the small of my again moderately than grabbing my ass.

He inhales deeply, his lascivious gaze touring again up from my cleavage to my throat, my lips, then my eyes as soon as once more. “You might be simply probably the most scrumptious little morsel I feel I’ve ever seen. I sit up for our wedding ceremony evening,” he murmurs, leaning nearer, seeming oblivious to my repulsion. “We should always make it a fast engagement as a result of I’m able to make you mine in each method,” he growls, his erection digging into me more durable.

The air leaves my lungs, and I combat to herald a shaky breath as I press in opposition to his chest, rigorously extricating myself from his grasp as my thoughts works a mile a minute. How the hell am I speculated to get out of this one? Can I simply inform him I received’t undergo with it? That I don’t need to marry him? I can’t think about he would take that effectively in any respect, and proper now, I’m alone with him.

“I’ve been watching, Melody, because the second I first laid eyes on you, and I knew while you began dancing for me that you simply really feel it too. This attraction. You understand simply learn how to drive me wild. God, I need to do soiled issues to you.”

“However we will’t,” I insist breathlessly. “Not except we’re married.”

“I do know, I do know,” he purrs, his blue eyes glinting. “I don’t thoughts for those who wish to play laborious to get. Actually, I sort of just like the chase. It’s going to make our first time that rather more pleasurable.” He steps nearer as soon as once more, however this time, he doesn’t seize me.

As a substitute, he locations a single finger beneath my chin, tilting my face up as if he intends to kiss me.

“Don’t you suppose we’re taking issues a bit shortly, although?” I ask breathlessly, greedy his finger and eradicating it as I take a step again towards the door.

He hums, following me. “I like quick,” he guarantees darkly.

Coronary heart shuddering, I preserve a sluggish, regular retreat, like one may make from a snake that’s poised to strike. “However shouldn’t we take a while to get to know one another? I imply, what for those who discover you don’t like one thing about me?”

Vinny’s eyes rake down my physique as soon as once more, the message clear as day. “What’s to not like?”

“W-Nicely, I’ve a daughter,” I confess. “And I wish to take it sluggish for her sake.”

His eyebrows arch in shock, and his footsteps hesitate momentarily. Preemptive aid surges via me. Perhaps the belief that I’m a single mom will likely be sufficient to discourage him.

An unbidden reminiscence of Gleb flashes into my head, the considerate look in his eyes after I informed him about Gabby final evening. “We will take her with us,” he mentioned with such assured reassurance. It wasn’t even a query in his thoughts.

“So, you need to wait till marriage, however you’re not a virgin?” Vinny asks, his eyes darkening dangerously. “Had been you married earlier than?”

“N-No. That’s why I need to wait till after…” I say, making it up on the fly as I seek for any method I can stall him. “And why I need to take it sluggish.”

“Hmm.” His face shifts to contemplative indecision. “That received’t be an issue,” he states after an extended pause.

My abdomen plummets as he resumes his pursuit throughout the room, closing the hole I’ve put between us.
