His eyes narrowed to slits and he moved towards her slowly like an animal stalking. "Then maybe I ought to take you right back to Marvin so he can kill you."
"He won't kill me."
"He'll just molest you."
So angry, she slapped him, then gasped and quickly apologized stepping back from him. "Leave me alone."
He rubbed his cheek, then moved over and put a towel around his waist. "You aren't stepping foot in that house, Nicole. Not as long as he's there."
"I need to see Nanna."
"You need to take a rest. I'm sure Nanna would agree. You almost died out there and he almost killed you. I won't take you back there so he can kill you."
"They'll hurt Nanna."
"What if I go over there and see her?" he suggested.
"I want to see her."
"You don't think I can?"
"I want to see her!" she stressed even more frustrated. "She's my grandmother. I've taken care of her since she got sick. They'll hurt her just like they always wanted to."
"Then they'll hurt you. We can call her doctor tomorrow," he assured her coming back over to her. "I swear Nicole. I'll do what I can to help you as long as it doesn't jeopardize your life."
"What do you care for?"
His long strong fingers gently caressed her cheek. "Because it's a free country."
"Or because you think this is going to get you a good fuck. Well think again, Ethan." She walked away from him towards the door. "I'm not the least attract-"
She would have finished if his lips were covering hers and she wasn't responding like her life depended upon it. She would have finished telling him how much she detested him, if she wasn't pushing the towel off of him and touching his beautiful body like it was the last thing she would ever touch.
So when he laid her down on that bearskin rug and began to kiss her all over, pushing her gown off her body and suckling the tips of her breast sending waves of ecstasy through her nerves, she couldn't think of one thing disgusting or disliking about this gorgeous man. Ever part of his body worshipped her deep chocolate skin to passion's goddess and as his mouth paid homage to her womanhood sending mind and body in a fit, she knew she would want this man again and again.
