Little does he know that two people with the same mindset and power don't get along. Or do they? . . I could feel his breath against my skin as I resisted the urge to shudder. He pinned both my hands on the wall on either side of me, caging me in. He glowered down at me, not an ounce of sympathy or remorse in his eyes. "Why don't you ever fucking listen to me?" He demanded, almost shouting, in a furious tone. He grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him. "You're not my boss," I seethed, glaring right back at him. It didn't help that I couldn't move at all, either. He clenched his jaw. "It seems like we have a miscommunication," he said slowly. I swallowed. "I am your boss and You. Are. Mine." With that, he smashed his lips against mine.
