Chapter 67
KATE
I think I am starting to sweat, but I am enjoying myself in a way I have not enjoyed in a long time. I close my eyes. More turned on with every touch. I could feel Oliver's arousal against my ass as we danced. I don't know what is happening to me. Oh God! How much have I drunk?
"Do you want to go somewhere else?" he whispers in my ear before I can answer.
Before I can respond, someone grabs my arm and pulls me forcefully backward, then pushes against Oliver with great force, making him bump into people.
"Don't touch her!" Nathan yells. I can't think, so I step forward, taking his front before Oliver retaliates or he attacks him.
"Stop it now!" I stare at him in fear.
"Who's this guy?" Oliver says.
"I'll show you, you idiot!"
"No!" Damn it! I try to hold Nathan in a nearly futile way.
"What's going on?" Stephan appears.
"Take him out of here now," I ask him.
"You're crazy, Nathan?" Stephan tries to pull him away.
"Let me go. I'm not going anywhere."
Damn it, the people around us have stopped to watch the scene. If we don't get him out of here now, we'll have problems.
"Get out of here, Ryan!"
"Not without you." He looks at me with hatred in his eyes.
"Let me go, I'm going to beat the crap out of this jerk!"
"You're not going to do anything!" Stephan says, still trying to hold him. "Kate, please. This could get ugly."
"All right." I turn to Oliver. "I'm sorry. Thank you for not retaliating. I have to go, I don't want to get into trouble." Nathan growls behind me. Turning around, I pass by them, heading towards the corridor that must lead to the bathrooms. I can only move forward a bit before Nathan grabs my arm, preventing me from continuing.
"Let me go!" He doesn't let go, and keeps walking, pulling me along. I see Stephan following us.
Nathan puts me against the wall.
"Get the fuck out of here!" He growls, looking at Stephan with a dark and angry look.
"I don't think it's a good idea to talk now, Nathan."
"I told you to go."
"Kate... are you okay?" Stephan looks at me with a concerned expression. I nod, then he steps back.
"Let me go, you son of a bitch!"
"Shhh." He traps me between his body and the wall, supporting both hands against the wall, one on each side of my face. "You're mine."
"You're sick!"
"Do you think you can do that? End everything and look for someone else to fuck you?" He whispers through his teeth, still consumed by anger, brushing his face against mine.
"Mind your own business, you idiot!" I push him hard, moving away.
"Why are you acting like a whore?" He says and in a split second, my hand hits his face. I'm not going to let him talk to me like that. He reacts, grabbing my wrists, and pushing me against the wall with force, pressing his body against mine. "Are you crazy?"
"You will never talk to me like that again. And if you don't let me go, I'll scream. Take your damn hands off me."
"I know what you need," he presses his hip against me, making me feel his hardness. "I am and will always be the best for you." He slides his nose along my neck, whispering. "You're mine."
"No."
"Shhh." He slides his hand under my dress. I move my legs trying to stop him. I feel him smile on my neck as his fingers brush against the fabric of my underwear.
"Do you want me to lick you here?" I take a deep breath, trying not to lose control.
"No!" Shit! I hit his balls with my knee, making him release me and lean against another wall.
"I said no! You're disgusting! And I hate myself for letting you touch me ever! You jerk!"
I leave him behind, heading towards the exit, almost running.
NATHAN
After coming back home, taking a shower, and spending the last few hours thinking about what happened, I'm standing in front of her apartment. I couldn't wait until tomorrow. I knock several times, but no one answers. They're probably sleeping. As I'm about to leave, her friend opens the door wearing a nightgown.
"Ryan?" She rubs her eyes. She must have just woken up.
"Is Kate here?"
"She is. She's sleeping. Which is normal, because it's probably two in the morning."
"Can you please call her?"
"I know the shit you did," she furrows her eyebrows. "And you know it was really bad, to be here at this hour."
"Honestly, I don't think it's any of your business."
"Why don't you stay away from her?"
What an intrusive woman.
"Can you just let her know I'm here?"
"If you hurt her again, I'll end you, and it doesn't matter who you are. It's just a warning." I sigh and continue staring at her, almost losing my patience. "I think you should leave. I don't want to be rude, but I'm about to close the door in your face."
"I need to talk to her now, and I don't want to have to force my way in." She narrows her eyes, as if she doubts me, but after a few moments, she nods, giving up, and leaves the door open after entering. I walk in and see her close the door after entering Kate's room.
KATE
"Kate... Kate?" I turn on the bedside lamp, still sleepy.
"What?"
"Ryan is here."
"What?"
"He wants to talk to you."
"Am I late for work?"
"No. It's probably still two in the morning."
"Then you should have told him to leave. Why did you let him in?"
"I tried. But he didn't pay much attention to me. I think you better go see him, because I'm going back to sleep." I nod. What does he want at this hour? Wasn't what he did enough? I'm sick of all of this.
He is standing in the middle of the living room, and I still feel like choking him.
"What are you doing here? You have a lot of nerve."
"I couldn't wait until later."
"Are you talking about my unlikely return to Ryan?"
"Kate..."
"I honestly don't feel like hearing or seeing you."
"Let me speak."
"Why? Huh? To apologize for your sick behavior?"
"Yes. I lost control."
"Please leave. Let's pretend this never happened. As long as you remember that any relationship between us is over and you should not interfere in my life."
"I don't know what came over me. I lost my mind when I saw..."
"That's what happens when you're used to controlling everything around you and suddenly face something you can't control."
"I'm sorry. But what do you want me to do? You had just ended things between us and you were already hanging on that idiot's neck."
"You were there too. I don't think you had just gone out for some fresh air."
"Damn it! You were in my head the whole time."
"I think it's because I hurt your ego, sorry about that, Ryan."
"Stop your sarcasm."
"You want me to apologize? Because that's not going to happen."
"I don't expect you to apologize. I know that was an attempt to forget about us, and I don't want to imagine where you would be now if I hadn't..."
"Having sex with that guy? What would be wrong with that?"
"Damn it. Don't joke about it!" He rubs his fingers on his forehead.
"You need to get it through your head that this doesn't have to affect you. Because it's my life, and I'm going to do whatever I want."
"You know I can't and won't let this end like this."
"What I know is that if you don't understand, I will have to distance myself from work because of you."
"I will never accept you leaving Ryan because of this."
"That's what you need to understand, things don't need your permission to happen."
"We will never understand each other because you make everything difficult."
"Why is it so hard to accept that it's over? It was just sex, Ryan! I lost count of how many times you told me that!"
"It's not over for me."
"You're forcing me to give up my plans that involve Ryan. This affects my future. Do you understand that?"
"I just want you to accept what we have."
"I'm not wasting my time anymore. You're sick. Go away!" I head towards the door, opening it. He approaches.
"This is not over." He stops and stares at me before leaving. I close the door after seeing him go down the stairs."
