“Come on, fiancée,” I murmur, linking my fingers with Lana’s.
“Let go of me, you motherf**ker,” Lana grits out. She twists her arm then jabs the sharp heel of her stiletto into my shoe.
I grunt. Pain burns through me, my eyes immediately water.
But I don’t let go.
“You can drop the act,” Lana digs her nails through my leather glove. “No one’s watching. Everyone knows the truth here. Let go of me.”
“If you only knew how much your fight is turning me on.”
“You sadistic sack of shit.”
“And that potty mouth of yours,” I graze my finger on her chin. She swats it away. “I never knew the Anderson princess could cuss up a storm.”
“There’s more where that’s coming—”
Her breath hitches when I haul her against my body until we’re a hairsbreadth apart. We collide with the wall next to the entryway table.
Her free arm jerks to the table. Metal clangs. The sharp edge of a blade points at my throat. A letter opener.
My pulse roars in my ears, my senses heightened. Her gray eyes. Burning hatred.
“Go on,” I rasp.
Another enticing gasp tumbles out of her rosy lips, and my body responds.
“Not there.” Slowly, I move the blade closer. “Here. Under my chin. That’s where the blood vessels are.”
I wrap my hand around hers, feeling her tremble.
I press the tip harder. A sharp pinch. Wetness.
“Go on,” I rasp, “I started it for you. Press harder. One cut and I’ll bleed out in twenty seconds.”
Her hand shakes, her eyes darting from my face to my neck.
“You’re nuts.” She wet her lips.
“Let’s save the foreplay for our wedding night.” My voice is rough. Sandpaper.
The letter opener clatters to the floor.
“I’ll never sleep with you.” She sways into me.
“Never say never.” My mind blurs at the edges. “Maybe you’ll enjoy it. Beg me for it.”
