"What did you just say?"
I stared at Nunew as my fingertips twitched, my pulse racing within the vein lining my neck. Chestnut eyes were on me, wide yet determined as he held my gaze, unwilling to back down from the challenge he'd presented.
No, not a challenge. At least, it didn't seem to be. Not by the way his voice had dropped in tone, deeper than I'd heard before, holding a seriousness I hadn't expected. He'd spoken like this before but those times had held hesitancy, the intentions lost behind half-hearted words.
This time was different, though.
I took a step towards him as he lifted his chin, fingers balling into fists at his sides, unwilling to surrender as I neared him. Close yet still at a distance. I wanted to take another step. Instead, I stood my ground, watching as his eyes quickly lowered to my mouth before lifting to meet my stare once more.
"I said to get on your knees."
Fuck.
I knew I should put an end to this. He'd made it clear what he wanted. It was a path I'd sworn to never go down again. Even if it had been something I'd wanted—something I'd needed—I wasn't willing to risk the consequences. Nunew had given me grace when I hadn't deserved it. He'd accepted the darkest parts of me. He'd seen it all, laid bare before him as I'd made it clear what my anger could lead to—who I could become if I allowed myself to unleash it.
But that part of me was tethered now, locked away in a hope that it wouldn't ever see daylight again.
So why did Nunew have to make it so damn hard for me to restrain myself?
A knot had formed in my throat, tight and pulsing as I tried to remain calm. It felt impossible—so damn difficult when every nerve inside of me was aching to push him onto the island and fuck him against the stone countertop. My throat bobbed and I swallowed forcibly.
The room was unbelievably hot, tension filling the air between us. With it came something else, desire and the lingering feelings of frustration.
I hadn't been angry at him—more so at the situation, though, he was pushing me past my limits with his behavior.
I watched as Nunew bit his lip, begging evident in his chestnut hued stare. He demanded the power yet his eyes made it obvious what he truly wanted—what he hoped to bring out of me. I wondered why he was seeking it so desperately.
I cocked my head to the side before stepping all the way in front of him, my hips brushing against his. My hand lifted to his chin, grasping it in my fingers as I tilted his face further up towards mine.
"When did you become so goddamn bold, baby?"
His eyes widened but his lips set together in a line, determined as he held my stare. "I'm only doing what you asked, Zee."
