Cathy's eyelids fluttered open as warm sunlight intruded on her drowsy slumber, caressing her ravaged body. She lay sprawled in the middle of the kingsized bed, half on her back and half on her side, her limbs heavy under the sheets, unwilling to obey her.
As she tried to sit up, she had to bite her lips to prevent a moan, as the delicious ache between her thighs reminded her of last night's events, not as unwelcome a memory as she wished it to be.
Warm male laughter filled the room and she instinctively clutched the sheets to her breasts, thankful she was still wearing her dress, though a little tattered by now. Her eyes flashed as she slowly narrowed her gaze on the devilishly handsome man that leaned against the wall, his arms folded across his broad chest, looking down at her.
"What do you want?" She forced herself to speak, unable to bear the glimpse of unmistakable triumph in his eyes. Damn, why did she have to let him find out just how fucked she had gotten?
Damon couldn't hide his smile as he watched her in the middle of his bed, more beautiful than ever, as she finally rested her elbow on her folded knees, supporting her forehead with her hand. Her delicate fingers clutched loosely the sheets to her breasts and the straps of her dress slid down her creamy shoulders, giving him a tantalizing glimpse of her full breasts. Even through the golden brown curtain of her hair he could see the way she held her breath and bit her lower lip.
He ached to trace her lips with his fingers, wanting to feel her shudder under his touch. For a moment he wished they were alone in the whole world, free of the painful memories of the past. Free to want her, to claim her for himself, like he would have, hadn't she been his brother's downfall.
When she finally lifted her eyes and her gaze locked with his, he was helpless on the effect she had on him. He found himself surrendering to her natural beauty, to those unbelievably sensual lips, to her beautiful eyes that looked right through him. Now he noticed how warm their hazel shade was. How could a girl with eyes that made you never want to be away from their warmth be the slut he knew she was?
"Do you faint in other men's arms too when they fuck you? Is it part of the act?" He smiled wickedly.
"No, I added this part just for you," she returned, her lips curling in a mischievous smile, her eyes shining bright, all hints of sleepiness washed away.
She tried to ignore her heartbeat as he made his way to her. The mattress dipped beneath his weight as he rested one knee on the bed and she tried to move away, when rough fingers bit into her chin, forcing her to face him.
"I'm far from through with you, sweet Cathy," he promised her huskily. "There are so many things I intend to do to your delightful little body," he slowly traced her lips with his thumb, feeling her shudder, just like he had wanted her to.
Cathy tried desperately to free herself, but his grip was relentless. Her fingers curled around his wrist like a vice, she wondered if she broke skin with her nails, but he didn't even have the decency to flinch.
"You may struggle as much as you like, Cathy," he smiled against her lips. "But you should save your energy for later. I can't have you fainting all the time," he murmured as his mouth dipped to capture hers in a slow, seductive kiss.
He gave her no time to recapture reason as his tongue plunged forcefully into the depths of her soft, wet mouth, tasting her insides, deepening the kiss. She moaned into his mouth, her small hands beating at his broad shoulders, but he only buried his hand into the back of her hair, bringing her even closer, holding her prisoner under his hot, demanding mouth.
She wished his kiss wouldn't numb her resistance against him, wished his mere presence wouldn't cause this exquisite fluttering sensation low in her belly, wished his touch wouldn't make her whole body to shudder. Most of all she wished she could prevent the moisture that had begun to pool between her thighs. She had to fight him, had to find a way to be free of him.
Without much thought, she bit his lower lip, her teeth sinking into the flesh, not withdrawing until she felt his blood coat her tongue.
Damon growled in pain and shoved her away, her back falling hard on the bed.
"Little bitch," he muttered, as he touched his bruised lips, his fingers coming away with blood, this time his own. She had played him well again. "I see I have underestimated you," he amusedly watched her scramble into a sitting position, her fingers clutching the pillows behind her, gazing up at him rebelliously.
She is unbelievable, he thought to himself as he stood above her, freeing himself from his clothes.
"You are crazy," she smiled, trying to make the tone of her voice as ironic as possible. "How long do you think you can keep me here? Alex will be looking for me everywhere," she looked intensely on his face, knowing very well she couldn't care less about Alex, yet searching for any form of true emotion on his face under his amused expression.
She succeeded, she could see his handsome features harden almost instantly, his fingers stopping mid chest where he unbuttoned his shirt. He quickly pushed away any thoughts of her in Alex's arms, remembering she had her maidenhead refixed just for Alex.
She was unprepared for his smile to return so fast. She wondered why she was still there, wishing she could find anything in his heart of stone, the slightest emotion besides the hatred he seemed to feel for her. She couldn't understand why she was actually eager to endure the tortures he had promised her, hell, she didn't even know what she was here to pay for!
"I don't intend keeping you at all, Cathy," the cruelty in his voice almost brought tears in her eyes. "When I'm through with you, I will save Alex the trouble, and return you to him," he smiled wickedly, as he watched her eyes narrow with anger as she was obviously displeased with what he had told her. Now he knew her games...
He knelt on the bed and his large hand curled around her ankle, his eyes fixed on hers as he dragged her towards him. He watched in amusement as she tried to kick out at him, her fingers raking over the sheets trying to grip hold of something, her delicious body twisting and cavorting before him as wild desperation overtook her.
"I hate you," she growled, as she realized how futile her attempts were.
"Yes, Alex will have you back," he promised her, trying not to think of how he would suffer if another man was to have hold of her, as his other hand closed around the calf of her free leg, drawing her even closer. "But until then, you are mine to play with."
"I will never be yours," some devil inside her made her declare as she fixed her eyes on his.
She bit her lips and threw her head back in pain as he brutally pulled her thighs apart, exposing her glistening flesh to his triumphant gaze. He took advantage of her current vulnerability to get rid of the rest of his clothes, tossing away his pants and boxers, watching her lips part as her gaze rested on the large, heavy cock springing free.
He smiled a slow, predatory smile, as he knelt again on the bed, his hands grabbing the back of her thighs, holding her open as he lowered himself on top of her, his weight pinning her beneath him.
"Why do you fight me, Cathy?" He whispered huskily into the lips, feeling her chest heaving unevenly as her hard nipples brushed against him.
His hands left her thighs, to delve between the wet folds, caressing her. He thrust a long, thick finger inside her, stretching her walls deliciously around the invading digit, and her whole body arched, as she clamped down on it. One hand caught both of her wrists, pinning them above her head so that she was completely helpless and vulnerable to his taking.
"We both know your body is too sweetly responsive to deny me anything," he chuckled, feeling her juices coating his fingers. His thumb moved to brush over her clit, and she moaned, silently cursing her body for responding to his touch. Her head fell back, and she sucked in her breath as he began to pump his finger in and out of her, his thumb maddening as he circled her nub.
He watched every flicker that crossed her expressive face. Soon she was unable to control herself, as she writhed and shuddered under his touch, her hips bucking wildly against his fingers. His sealed her lips with his own, and she whimpered against his mouth, fingers clawing where he held her wrists, when another finger joined its mate inside of her, as he continued to work them furiously in and out of her.
He cut off the kiss and she moaned as he withdrew his fingers from her now dripping pussy. She watched him intently as he brought his fingers to his mouth, licking greedily her juices off them. He watched her amusedly before he leaned again over her.
"Cathy my sweet," he laughed, reading her thoughts.
She turned her face away from his, but he forced her back with his wet fingers, moving his mouth demandingly over hers, forcing her to part her lips and receive his tongue, letting her taste herself on him, feeding her with her own juices.
She struggled under him at what she tasted, and he pulled away from her mouth, enjoying her frustrated expression.
"See, you taste so pleasant," he smiled down at her, before kissing her again.
