My Best Friend's Mother /18+/ (Book 1 of Love Beyond Age and Colour) COMPLETED

"I'll ask you again Angelina...why have you been avoiding me?"

"I haven't been avoiding you."

His expression didn't change, but his eyes glinted with malevolent humor. Reaching out he pinched her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, "Denial doesn't suit you, Angel,"

Her jaw ticked and her fierce glare burned into him, "I'd love it if you put that much thought into how fucking crazy you're acting right now."

"Maybe if you weren't so set on avoiding me, I wouldn't be acting crazy,"

She scowled, "Mateo I don't know what sick little game you came here with the intention of playing, but let me remind you of something Boy, I' a grown fucking woman, I practically raised your ass, so amma ask you as kindly as I can to quit this shit before it goes any further."

He chuckled, "You think I'm some little boy playing games here Angel,"

Her temper flared and she snapped, "What else could it damn be Mateo? I'm dating your father, you're a child, my son's best friend, yet look at what you're doing, how else can you explain this except it being some sick little game."

Her ire gave way to a sense of loss, frustration, and disappointment the more she said. This wasn't the boy she knew.

"Look, please, just stop whatever this is you don't have to do any of this shit, it's not worth it, we can forget this even happened, just stop before it gets out of hand, please," she implored frustratedly.

Cocking his head to the side he chuckled darkly, "You really don't get it, do you?" Shrinking back, her breath hitched as he leaned in, caging her even further and pinching her jaw in an almost bruising grip, forcing her to keep looking at him as he completely trapped her.

"You know...for a moment I was almost convinced" he cooed, voice laced with sadistic humor, lips mere inches away from her face, and gaze burning with primal intensity he whispered.

"But how could I believe you-when not even you... believe the bullshit that just came out of your mouth."
