“You don’t know that. Next time, wait.”
“I had to pee!” He was insane.
“You couldn’t wait a few minutes?”
“No,” she lied.
“Hmm. Sounds like you waited too long to go then. You shouldn’t do that. You’ll get a urinary infection.”
Her mouth dropped open. “I . . . uh . . . what?”
“Next time, tell me straight away if you need the bathroom. I need to check it first before you go in and then wait outside.”
She ran her hand down her face. “There is no threat to me. No one is going to harm me. Now, could you leave me alone for a few minutes?”
“No.”
She glared at him. “Are you always this stubborn? And I thought Judd was the unreasonable one.”
“He is.”
Not from where she was standing.
“I want some privacy.”
“Haven’t you peed yet?”
“No. Please, leave.”
He tilted his face to one side. She noticed he was carrying a plastic bag. Is that where he’d gone? To get a drink or food? She felt bad that they’d spent so long just waiting around.
“It’s really not necessary for you both to guard us.”
He didn’t reply. “Pee.”
“What?”
Owen’s eyes narrowed. “Pee.”
“I’m not using the bathroom with you in here.”
“Why not?”
“I have a shy bladder.”
“Or you’ve been and are just trying to get rid of me.”
She sighed, leaning against the counter. “Fine, I don’t need to go. I just want some privacy for a moment.”
“You have a headache. And you’re light-headed.”
How did he know? She thought she was pretty adept at hiding her pain. He opened the bag and drew out an electrolyte drink.
“You need rehydrating.”
“I don’t like those.”
He just held it out to her. She took it with a huff. Stubborn man wasn’t going to take no for an answer. It wasn’t like he could force her to drink the stuff.
But if she’d been expecting him to move, she was sadly mistaken. He just leaned against the door.
“Uh, Owen, are you going to move?”
“Drink.” He nodded at the bottle.
“I don’t want to drink it.” Oh, shoot. She’d just let her Little slip out. How did that keep happening? She’d very nearly pouted and stomped her foot.
He wouldn’t know, though. There was no way he could guess. He probably just thought she was being a bit childish.
Something shifted in his face. And if anything, he seemed to become even more commanding, more dominant.
And she hadn’t thought that was possible.
But there was an added look in his eyes as they pierced her, holding her in place.
“That’s tough, since you’re going to,” he told her, stepping toward her. “Your choices are to drink it yourself or have me feed it to you.”
Another shiver ran through her. He crowded her against the counter behind her. It was a mix of threat and promise. Her body melted.
What was wrong with her?
Just how broken was she that this turned her on?
He reached up a hand, moving extra slow so she saw him coming, and ran a finger over her cheek. “You’re pale. Tired. You were told to rest and yet you didn’t. So now, you have to pay the consequences.”
Grabbing her hips suddenly, he lifted her onto the counter. She wasn’t sure how she felt about sitting on the counter in a public bathroom. But it was all impeccably clean.
Then he took the bottle of drink from her and undid the top of it before holding the tip to her mouth. “Drink.”
She reached up to take hold of the bottle.
“No.”
“What?”
“You lost the option of doing it yourself.”
Dear Lord.
She pressed her thighs together. There was definitely something wrong with her. She should be kneeing this guy in the balls. Telling him to get lost and reporting him.
And instead, she was mesmerized by stormy gray eyes and a darkly intent face.
“Open your mouth.”
She could imagine him saying those words in a completely different situation.
His mouth moved to her ear. “You’re imagining me telling you that while you’re on your knees in front of me, aren’t you, baby? Are you thinking about my cock sliding through those plump lips? Do you think you can take it? Do you think you could take all of me?”
Her breathing grew faster, and she almost found herself asking him to do that. To let her suck on his dick. Bring him pleasure.
Thankfully, he stepped back, letting her take in a breath of air that wasn’t saturated with his scent. Her mind cleared.
“That was highly inappropriate.”
“Only if you don’t want it. And you do.”
Oh the arrogance of him.
It should have been a turn-off. But it wasn’t.
“You don’t know that.”
Why was she prodding the beast? Did she want him to prove it to her? To show them both how much she wanted him?
This was ridiculous. She didn’t have time for this. For anything that would steal her attention. That would make her drop her shield.
You can’t afford to do that, Chloe.
“Don’t I? Tell me, if I spread your legs and ran my finger up your thigh, then under your panties and through your lips, would I find you wet? Are your nipples hard? Are you imagining all the ways I could take you?”
