"Bastard!"
I threw the small glass plate at Vincent, which he dodged. It shattered satisfyingly on the wall behind him, joining the wreckage of two others.
He avoided the shards as he advanced on me, a slight but manic smile on his face. It was disconcertingly unfamiliar even through my anger.
"I'm coming for you, baby," he crooned softly, his hands flexing.
I watched as my husband came closer. Rage threatened to blind me. We were in the midst of a fight the likes of which we hadn't had in our entire two-year marriage.
Well.
We'd had
one
like it.
And I had to say, remembering what
that
fight had been like, something deep down inside was hoping that this one would end that way too.
But it was too soon to tell. And I was too mad to know for sure.
I cast around behind me blindly with one hand, looking for something else to throw. My hand closed around a small empty jar I had washed out earlier that day. I snatched it up and threw it. "You fucking—"
Vincent closed the gap between us like lightning, his hand closing over my wrist before I could draw it back from its throw. "What a mouth," he murmured into my ear, deceptively gentle. His other arm easily wrapped around me, crushing me to him.
I met his eyes, hissing and struggling. "Get your hands off me," I spat. "If you think that I'm—"
"Oh, I don't
think
, Eva," he said, suddenly deadly serious. "You've got such a temper. You need to be taught a lesson."
My eyebrows drew together indignantly. "What
lesson
?" I screeched, just as he picked me up and carried me out of the glass-strewn kitchen.
He threw me down on our couch in the next room. I could feel the heavy upholstery material through my thin t-shirt and underwear. We had been getting ready to go to bed when the fight had begun. He was barely more dressed than I was, in a wifebeater tank top and shorts.
Although I was so mad at my husband I could hardly see straight, I could still appreciate his body as he loomed over me. His shoulders were broad and well-developed, biceps chiseled, strong pecs and abs outlined through the knit of his shirt. His Italian features were incredibly attractive, close-cropped black hair topping a chiseled face with deep brown eyes and a lush mouth.
I
almost
forgot for a moment that I was mad at him.
But then, indignant that I had been tossed onto the couch like a sack of potatoes, I started scrambling upward.
Making a loud
tsk
noise, Vincent pinned my jaw with one hand and held my hips with the other. I batted at his arm with my hands, but found little purchase. Finally, I subsided, chest heaving, looking at him balefully.
"Are you going to be a good girl?" he asked, keeping the same gentle tone, with a menacing undercurrent.
"Good? Fuck you," I snarled.
"Oh," he said sweetly. "I was hoping you'd remember."
A mixture of confusion followed by a flash of memory. He let me go for a split second.
Suddenly my husband's hands were at my throat. Before I could scream, or even gasp, he took hold of my t-shirt collar and yanked sharply. The thin material tore straight down the middle and came apart in shreds, which he held up victoriously. He cast them aside.
I was shocked into stillness for a moment. It was all Vincent needed.
His mouth was on mine, crushing it, his tongue playing across mine, taking what he wanted. He pulled me upward, gathering me to his chest forcefully.
Arousal surged through me, obliterating my anger and channeling it into lust. I threw my arms around his neck, twining my hands through his thick hair and pulling his face into mine. I moaned, low in the back of my throat, causing him to answer with a rough growl that made my nipples instantly hard.
I jumped off the couch into Vincent's arms, wrapping my legs around him. He held me easily, one arm under my ass, the other still clamped around my back, but moving forward. One hand now massaged my breast, thumbing and rolling my nipple.
In response, I lightly bit his lip, whimpering. A deep chuckle formed in his chest. "Oh yeah, baby," he whispered into my mouth.
He released me, pulling off his shirt in one fluid motion as I fell back onto the couch. I was about to climb back up onto him when he dropped to his knees on the floor in front of me and buried his face in my tits.
I sucked in a breath, unconsciously pushing them farther around his face as he licked the smooth skin between them. I am a well-endowed girl, not obscenely so, but enough so that my husband is completely satisfied, if you know what I mean. My sizable nipples stood at attention as his tongue swiped toward one of them, then swirled around it. His big hands pushed my tits together and upward, kneading them, playing.
My head fell back, my long dark hair cascading behind my shoulders as I moaned. "Yes, baby," I sighed. I could feel him smiling against my skin. I held his head to my chest, splaying my hands through his hair again.
There was going to be hell to pay later. I just wasn't sure who was going to be paying, was the thing.
He started sucking as his hands traveled downward, over my ribcage and around my hips. As he encountered my panties, I could feel his shoulders bunch, and then I heard the tearing of fabric again as the skimpy lace gave way. He jerked the material out from under me, and then I lay completely revealed to him.
Vincent leaned backward to leer at me. Although he had a triumphant look on his face, I could see the undercurrent there—
my
