SHADOW

All Night

"So are you done being mean to me?" I asked sweetly, kissing the back of her neck.

The soft tone of my voice greatly contrasted the compromising position I had her in. Athena was slightly bent over the bar in my kitchen with her arm trapped behind her back.

Her body heated and she groaned.

"Athena..." I said teasingly. "I asked you a question."

I pushed her arm up, not enough to hurt her, but enough to make her uncomfortable.

"Fuck..." she muttered, her head falling forward.

I had no problem staying in this position for as long as I needed.

Her stubbornness had peaked. She refused to give me what I wanted.

I wanted an apology for earlier. It was simple.

I could feel her heartbeat through the grip I had on her wrist.

"So that's what it's gonna be," I asked lowly.

"It seems so."

I shrugged, dropping her arm and took a step away from her, gaining my composure again. "Okay."

The look on her face when she turned around and our eyes met was priceless.

Before she could say a word, I had already swiveled on my heels and began to make the journey to my room. She followed behind me in bewilderment.

Her voice rang out before my foot hit the first step of my staircase. "What just happened?"

I turned to face her, a soft smile ghosting over my lips before I tilted my head. "I wanted an apology and you were unwilling to give that to me. Did you expect me to beg, love?"

My eyes roamed over her figure before I finally met my second favorite pair of eyes. "And that's really a shame too. I really wanted you."

She pushed out a forceful breath of air.

I stared for another moment before I turned around to continue my journey to my room.

Again, her voice stopped me. "I'm sorry."

I faced her. "I'm sorry what?"

"I'm sorry, Robyn," she corrected, accentuating my name.

I took a step toward her, my face completely blank. I wasn't giving anything away. Bright blue eyes looked at me in anticipation.

"I'm sorry," she repeated when I didn't say anything. "I trust you, I promise."

I couldn't help but smile at her almost sadly. She shouldn't trust me.

Before her intuitive eyes could dissect the change in my facial features, I swooped her off of her feet in a single motion. She squealed in surprise, a string of adorable laughter following after as I finally began to ascend the stairs.

I hardened with each step I took up the stairs with the prospect of finally being able to be inside of her.

The way I felt when she surrounded me was enough to have me addicted. I loved every second of it.

I kicked open my door and laid her across the crisp, white sheets that covered my bed.

Athena looked at me innocently, but somehow, I could still sense the unadulterated lust rolling off of her in waves. She bit her lip sensually, eyes traveling down to look at the erection in my pants. I stood fully at attention, which made these jeans unbelievably uncomfortable.

I climbed into bed, wasting no time undressing her. I yanked her jeans along with her underwear down her legs and threw them to the side. I rid her of every piece of clothing she had on until she was completely naked underneath me.
