Devil's Advocate

"Come on now Lila. Don't try and play innocent." He breathed in my ear.
I don't know if it was the words he said, the way his breathe was hot on my ear, or the way his body was pressed against mine as he had me enclosed between him and a wall but my entire body was riddled with goosebumps and my stomach got the all too familiar firey feeling that only he could invoke in me. I absolutely hated the way my body reacted to him - with burning desire. I tried to push the blooming desirable thoughts of him away and regain what little composure I was able to sustain at the moment.
"What do you mean, Nikolai?"I innocently questioned. My voice that usually portrayed a confidence came out as a breathless whisper.
"You know exactly I mean. I can see the way you look at me; The way your body reacts when we are -" he presses his body more firmly against mine making sure I have no means of escape (not that I would have the will power to dare move) "Like this. And you keep trying to deny me. But in denying me, your only denying yourself." He smirked down at me, satisfied with the reaction my body was giving him.
"Oh and one more thing darling-" he began as he slowly removed his body from mine and leaned down so his lips were almost touching my ear. "Just know that I always get what I want." And with that he turned around and stalked off leaving me alone against the wall.
As much as I wanted to desperately deny all he spoke, I knew I'd be lying to myself if I did. God, I absolutely loathed the fact he was able to analyze me so accurately. And he was never wrong. I knew I could no longer dance on the line of lust and loathing. After all he was the devil and I was the devil's advocate.
