“How is that a bad thing? You enjoy the sex. I make you come.” His voice was slippery.
I felt like I was hitting my head on a brick wall. My head was already a bloody pulp and there he was so confident and sure of his right to use me until the day he got bored. I had tried everything. Flattery, anger (which had backfired spectacularly), reluctance (which he enjoyed tremendously), coldness (also a turn-on for him). The only thing I hadn’t tried yet was brutal honestly.
I looked him in the eye. “I don’t enjoy sex with you. I’ve never come with you.”
His eyes changed. Became black with fury. For the first time, I saw that I’d got him where it hurt, but he recovered quickly.
“You know what I thought when I first saw you. I thought that’s a mouth that’s been made to suck cock. You’re a whore, Skye baby. Just a whore. I didn’t go looking for you. You came to me and offered yourself for money. And now that you’ve had the money you’re trying to worm your way out of it. Well, we have a deal. I get to use you until I’m bored. I’m not bored. So what do you want to do? But before you reply, think carefully, because I already told you once what happens to people who renege on their promises to me. The people they love most get hurt.”
I dropped my head in defeat. I felt cold inside. No matter what I said or did, we always ended up at this impasse. I wanted to run away. I wanted to stick a knife in his miserable heart. I didn’t know what to do. A little voice inside me said, ‘Just stick it out, Skye. He will get bored. The more passion you show him the more he will want to keep you. Be cold. Be passionless.’
“I helped you when no one else would. A bit of gratitude would be nice.”
I knew it was going to be a very long night. I was going to be punished for my honesty. This time I had wounded him and he was not going to let me get away with it. I needed to numb the pain that was coming. I raised my head.
“Yes, I will have that drink,” I said slowly. My voice sounded hollow, as empty as I felt inside.
“Good. Have a few. It might cure that headache of yours because tonight I am going to make you enjoy sex with me. I am not going to stop until you come.”
He slid open the French doors and I stepped into the warmth of the house. As he closed the doors I began to walk quickly towards the main living room where the party was in full swing. The sounds of their laughter washed over me and I felt like a caged animal. I arrived at the entrance to the large room and my gaze moved desperately around in search of a drink. A big, stiff drink that would make me feel numb and prepare me for the ordeal that stretched before me.
I didn’t find that drink I was looking for.
Instead, my gaze collided with that of a tall man with raven hair. His eyes were so light they shocked me. For a few seconds, I couldn’t move. Frozen, I stared into those icy gray depths. It was like looking into the eyes of a predator. No pity. No sense of right or wrong. No emotion. Nothing but razor sharp focus.
I recognized him. I’d read and heard about him. Who hadn’t? But I’d never seen him in person before. Inside me something was happening. The only way I could describe it would be like watching one of those time-lapse videos of a seed rooting, then growing into a plant that opens into a gorgeous flower.
I knew what Salvatore was by looking into his eyes. He was a slimy, small-minded, dime-a-dozen crook, pretending to be a big-time mobster. When I looked into this man’s eyes I knew exactly what he was.
A beast with a heart of stone.

-Give Me Everything Tonight-
Under the bright lights of the chandelier her blonde hair shimmered. She was far more beautiful than I had imagined. An angel made for sin.
I stared at her until our eyes met. I knew the effect I had on women when I looked at them the way I was looking at her, and like a little deer in headlights she froze with shock.
I felt it then. The strong urge to open those long, long legs and fuck her until she screamed. Yes, once would not be enough with this one.
Satisfied with my decision to have her, I let my gaze slide away from her and to the man coming up behind her. Ah yes, I remembered him clearly now. As he arrived next to her, he said something to her which she didn’t respond to. I started walking towards the happy couple. When I stood in front of them he looked up, saw me, and nearly jumped out of his skin.
