We were in a fucking library.
In broad daylight.
Where anyone could walk in and see Sebastian Knox, ice king of Halgrave, grinding against Charles Ravenscroft like he couldn't stop himself.
"Is this what you wanted?" Sebastian asked quietly, voice like gravel and sin. "When you manipulated the pairing? When you forced us together? Did you fantasize about this? About me losing control?"
"Yes," I breathed, because lying seemed pointless when I was leaking and my hands had somehow found their way to his shoulders, gripping fabric like it was the only thing keeping me upright.
"Of course you did." He shifted again, creating more friction, more pressure. "Four years and you're still the same desperate little thing. Still begging for scraps of my attention."
"I'm not-" The words died as he ground forward again, hitting exactly the right angle to make my vision white out.
"You are." His hand on my throat moved-sliding up to grip my jaw, forcing me to meet his eyes. "Look at you. Falling apart from nothing. I've barely touched you and you're already a mess."
"Then stop," I challenged, even though my body was screaming the opposite. "If I'm so pathetic, so desperate-walk away. Prove you don't want this."
Sebastian Knox, Heir to American Mafia. Knox Syndicate. Cold. Calculated. Ruthless.
Charles Ravenscroft, Heir to Ravenscroft Enterprises. Chaotic. Shameless. Narcissist.
