Chapter 34
Julian
I kissed her. Pressing her small body into the brick wall so there was no way of getting away from me. I couldn’t help myself. If I was mad at her. I was always mad at her. It was just kind of our thing and the fact that we hated each other just made the sex even better. I liked forcing her to do my will and submit to me and Cassie enjoyed it as well even though she would never admit it.
Parting her lips with mine I thrust my tongue into her mouth. Panting against her. I had been dying to kiss her since the moment I had caught her scent in the clinic. I had known who she was before she had turned but seeing her in her scrubs. Every mouth watering curve she had hidden was enough to make me feel crazy with need. Because I knew what was hidden underneath and -
I deepened the kiss , groaning into her mouth. Memories flooded me. This was so much like the night I had been running for my life and taken the woman who had saved my life. She had been wearing scrubs and I had torn them from her body before losing myself in her.
That woman wasn’t Cassie but it kind of felt the same.
I was turned on.
And Cassie was-
Stiff and unresponsive in my arms. Which was surprising. Usually she was all fire.
“You like it when I tell you what to do Cassie. Admit it.” Letting my lips drift from her mouth I peppered kisses over her sharp jawline. “You love it-“
She pushed hard against my shoulders. Stamping down on my foot at the same and I went stumbling backwards.
“I hate you.” She hissed from between her teeth. The words weren’t surprising, she told me she hated me all the time. What was a shock was the venom in her voice and the hatred in her eyes as they flashed angrily.
“Good.” I answered quietly although it wasn’t good. I wanted her to dislike me I told myself because it made controlling her all the more pleasurable to me but this wasn’t dislike this was disdain.
“You are acting like a child.” I raked my eyes over her and a wave of lust flowed through me again. She looked good in her scrubs. Even if they didn’t show her body off the way I liked. “Stomping your pretty little feet because you were caught breaking the rules.”
“Rules?” Her eyes narrowed into slits. “Most of these rules I didn’t even know existed. Like me not being able to work.”
At her side her small hands clenched into fists that were so tight that her knuckles turned white. “You have a job as a dancer instructor.” I couldn’t help it my lips curled up in a sneer. “Do you really think that’s an appropriate job for a woman in your position?”
“Because you had me fired from the hospital.” Cassie’s voice was a vicious hiss. It crawled across my skin and made every hair on my body stand on end.
“I trained my entire life for what I wanted.” Striding forward she stabbed me in the chest with her finger. “And I was good at it.” Her usually full lips thinned into an angry wide line. A slash of red in her red face. “And you took it away from me like-“ she snapped her fingers in my face.
Confused I stared at her. What the hell was she talking about? I hadn’t had her fired.
“What are you even talking about? You’re officially crazy-“ I trailed off. Honestly I didn’t know what she was going on about. I hadn’t had her fired.
“You gave Megan my job.” Her voice had turned dangerously low. Almost like she was fighting to keep her temper.
A line appeared between my eyebrows as they knitted together. “I did no such thing.”
Except I had told the others to look after Megan. “Ahhh.” I sighed. I might not have told my subordinates to have Cassie fired but I had told them to get Megan the promotions she’d wanted. “This is about jealousy.”
The moment the words left my mouth I knew they were a mistake.
“I am not jealous of Megan or whatever relationship you have with each other.” She stamped her foot. “But I care that you are ruining my life. You are taking away everything I ever wanted. Everything I have worked my whole life to get and giving it to a woman who isn’t even a tenth of the doctor I am.”
Cassie stepped into my space. Her breast rubbing against my chest with every laboured breath she took.
“You deserve each other. But I won’t let you ruin my life anymore.” Swinging her hand back she swung it towards me.
Cassie’s slap took me totally by surprise. A stinging pain ricocheted across my cheek where it landed against my cheek bone. My hand went to my face in shock.
Cassie was fiery but no one slapped me and got away with it.
No one, not even my wife.
I reached for her quickly but she was already gone. Running into the dark trees.
“I fucking hate you,” her voice floated back to me.
Shaking my head I went after her. Cassie needed to learn once and for all what her place was in our world and she would learn it the hard way.
She didn’t know this pack or its land so I could leave her to get lost in the thick forest but where was the fun in that?
It was always more fun chasing her.
Cassie
I always seemed to be running from him, like I was weak or even worse scared of him when in reality I was none of those things.
I ran because if I didn’t I would really lose my temper and would end up doing something that would lose me my life.
Slapping him had been a mistake and I knew it. Julian would never allow me to go unpunished.
Although I didn’t know what else he could take from me.
I had nothing else to give and nothing else to lose either.
My rapid footsteps slowed at I glanced around. I had run without thinking and now I was far into the woods. The lights from the camp not even visible through the tightly packed tree trunks.
Damn it.
I stopped in my tracks. Breathing heavily. I didn’t even know where I was. I had just run off blindly.
“Didn’t think you would get away from me that easily did you?” Julian came striding out of the darkness between the trees. Although stalking might have been a better word to describe the way he moved because he looked every bit the predator and I felt every bit the prey.
I backed up a step, looking around wildly for a way to escape him even when I knew there wasn’t one. Before I could even think about moving again Julian lashed out. Catching my wrist in his giant hand he pulled me towards him. And wrapped his other hand around my waist to trap me to his body.
“My little hot headed wolf. That slap can not go unpunished.” He smiled and it turned my blood into ice.
Of course he was going to punish me. I had always known that but that didn’t mean I was going to beg for mercy.
That was never going to happen.
“Then punish me.” I glared up into his handsome face and again I was stunned by just how gorgeous he was. I didn’t know how it was possible that he could look so good on the outside and be so ugly on the inside.
It made no sense to me but then again nothing Julian did or said made any sense to me. He was a law unto himself.
“Then punish me.” I sneered at him. My eyes daring him to do his worst. “What more can you do? You’ve already taken everything from me.”
“Oh I think you have more yet to give me.” Julian smiled and it was the kind of smile a snake gave a mouse before he bit off its head. His hands moved up my back, pressing down on my spine to lock me to him. “And I think you enjoy what I take from you.”
As if to prove his point he pushed his hips into me and my traitorous body reacted with a shiver of longing.
“I hate you.” I hissed but the truth was I kind of hated myself more because even now I kind of wanted him. The physical attraction between us couldn’t be denied and my body craved the cruel feel of his body against mine more that it should.
“I want a divorce Julian.”
In answer he threw back his head and laughed. A loud booming laugh that made me tremble even more.
“I don’t think so Cassie.” Bending me backwards his lips surged down towards mine. “You signed the contracts didn’t you?”
“I don’t care… I -“ I twisted my face away from him. I couldn’t do this any longer. I couldn’t-
“Are you going back on your word to my grandfather Cassie? Are you that weak?” He smiled cruelly. “Have I broken you already?”
