Turning toward her, he cupped her chin lightly. “Nobody will treat you that way. Not when you’re with me.” His grip tightened, not to hurt, but to show his possession. “Nobody.”
“With you? What does that mean?”
His hand fell away. He started the car, the beautiful purr of the engine brought his anger level down a notch. “Means what it means. You’re mine, sweetheart. Commitment and all that shit.”
A laugh echoed between them. “Wow. You have such a way with words. What makes you think I still want you?”
His lips turned into a wily grin. “Oh, you know you want me, sweetheart. Don’t deny it. I could take you right here and now and we both know you’d love every minute of it.”
“You’re too cocky for your own good.” A cheeky grin of her own appeared. “Maybe I want you to take me right here and now.”
Damn, this was why he wanted her. She was his perfect match, giving as good as she got.
Would she still want him after he told her everything? Because if he wanted to try to make a relationship work with her, she needed to know it all.
His past and everything.
He revved the engine and backed out of the driveway before he changed his mind and took her in the front seat of his car.
“Suzey baby, I’m gonna love you so hard when we get home. You just wait.”
He would. After he told her the truth.
