"I don't give a fuck if you can't change rooms. I want you out of here 𝘯𝘰𝘸." He points to the door expecting me to go, but I don't, and he grows angrier. "Make me." I say the line that gets every guy fired up. I expect something like "I'm gonna take your phone and chuck it out the window if you don't get out." But the next thing that happens gets 𝘮𝘦 fired up. He walks over to me and slams me against the wall. His left hand is on the right side of my head and I let out a gasp but his right hand is gripping my throat. He's so close to me I can smell his cologne. His lips are inches away from mine. One more closer lean and we'll be kissing. His lips look so soft. Shut up. His dark grey eyes bore into my soul, and I swear I saw a hint of softness in them. I tilt my head and before I can say anything, his grip on my throat gets tighter. I squirm in his hold, but his grip doesn't get any loose. "Your pretty little mouth needs to know it's boundaries, hm?"
