has been easy for you. You just assume all outcomes will be in your favor. Well, not this time. I m not
going to lie and say I hated the sex, but I most certainly can live without it. It was good, sure, but not
the end-all everyone s always talking about. Why don t you do us both a favor and stop playing
whatever game this is your playing and just get out of here, Sierra told him, adding a smirk to the end
of her small speech for added affect.
When she saw the fire ignite in his eyes, she thought she may have pushed it a bit too far. He took a
menacing step toward her, and panic flared.
With a surge of adrenaline rushing through her, Sierra decided not to wait for his response. She
turned and started running back to the house. When she was less than twenty feet from the back steps,
an arm snaked around her middle, slamming her into the rock solid wall of Damien.
Oh, Sierra, you were very smart to run, very smart indeed after making a comment like that, he
whispered, his hot breath slithering down her neck.
He flipped her around so she was looking into his flaring eyes, his expression determined.
Suddenly, he was lifting her in his arms as he strode around the house.
Before she thought to cry out, he was tossing her in his car and then they were driving down the
pavement. She looked back at the house with longing as it faded into the distance. What had she just
done?
Chapter Nineteen
The silence was stifling as Damien pulled out of Bree s driveway. He had to get her alone. He felt
like if he didn t get her into his bed again, he d explode.
He didn t need her. He d proven that. He could easily insert himself into the lives of the Andersons
without suspicion. Heck, there was a fundraiser event coming up shortly he d be attending with them.
He d already made contact, so he could drop Sierra off at home, and then drive away. No harm done.
Except, he knew that wasn t true.
Even the thought of leaving her with that man who called himself her father caused an ache in
Damien s chest. He couldn t do it.
He tried telling himself it was because she still had a job to do for him, but he knew better. It was
so much more than a job, just as it had been from the moment he d laid eyes on her - started studying
her, decided she d be perfect for what he wanted.
If only he could figure out exactly what it was that he wanted her for.
I can t believe you would do that. Bree is going to hunt you down and
And what, Sierra? You play hot and cold, do things however you like, want everything your way.
Well, this is the real world, and its time you learn that actions have consequences. If you push me, I m
going to push back, Damien thundered as he made a sharp right turn.
Where are you taking me? I demand you return me at once!
Not going to happen.
Stop this car right now or I swear I ll jump out of it, she threatened as she reached for the door
handle.
Damien s emotions were sliding on a thin sheet of ice. He could already feel it begin to crack
beneath him. His anger was consuming, but his need was overwhelming. He saw a sign for a park,
and swerved into the parking lot, needing to pull over before he ended up crashing the vehicle.
Damien turned in his seat, looking over Sierra, her flushed cheeks, heaving chest and rage filled
eyes. His arousal jumped at how badly he wanted to pull her onto his lap. He had to end the torture,
had to sink inside her now.
Why keep fighting me, Sierra. You want this just as badly. I m not forcing you. I m not demanding
anything you don t want to give, so why don t you stop playing games and tell me what you want? he
said, his voice dropping an octave.
" " "
Sierra felt his words all the way to her core. She did want him, desired him in a way that had to be
unnatural. She just couldn t think when he spoke to her like that, used that tone of voice.
You have to stop, Damien. This is wrong.
Why, Sierra? Are you afraid of the passion between us? I ve thought of little else but you for the
past two weeks, because each day that I wake up, I smell your scent and it sends desire coursing
through me. I come in at the end of the night, wanting to find you waiting for me, hungry, aching with
need. If you want to play games, that s fine by me I ll play all the games you want. His tone was
melting her. She was falling quick.
I don t want to play games. I& I need air, Sierra told him as his hand moved to the handle.
Where are you going? he demanded, all seduction leaving his tone.
Wherever I feel like, Sierra snapped. Exhilaration filled her as she realized he was the first man
she d ever so openly defied.
You re not leaving. We haven t finished this, he said, his voice oddly calm, though the anger
fueled his words.
You can t stop me.
Sierra, I swear if you run off He suddenly stopped as if trying to compose himself.
Sierra felt a twinge of alarm at the implied threat of his command. Old habits die hard. If she d
ever argued like this with her father, he would ve beaten her to a pulp. She knew Damien wouldn t hit
her she didn t know how she knew, but she just did.
Sierra didn t give him a chance to finish the rest of his statement. She opened the door and jumped
from the car. Not taking any chances, she started running toward the trailhead straight ahead.
For a few brief moments she thought she d actually achieved her goal that she d gotten away. At
least she did until she heard footsteps quickly approaching from behind only seconds before
