Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

Don’t walk away. Please, I want this. You don’t have to protect
me. You want it, too. I’m okay. I want it. I want to feel you so
bad.”
I threaded my hand through the back of her hair and fisted
it, holding her still. “And then you spread those pretty legs for
me.”
“I thought you were someone else!”
“I was,” I challenged. “I was someone you kinda liked.”
She shook her head, more denying herself than me as tears
welled in her eyes. “You were a lie,” she said. “And all you are
now is pathetic. You didn’t earn a cent of the money you throw
around, and those men don’t guard you because you’re Damon
Torrance. They guard you because you’re GGabriel’s son.
You’re nothing!”
I shook her. Bitch.
“I was proof that people change,” I told her.
“The only thing you’re proof of is that not all males grow
up to be men.”
I released her, slamming my hand into the wall behind her.
She shoved me away and darted around me, holding out her
hands to find the bannister and scurrying up the stairs.
I hesitated for a moment before I ran after her, charging up
the stairs.
I caught her and spun her around, holding her in my arms
and crushing her to me. “Arion thinks I’m a man,” I told her,
keeping my voice low and taunting. “She’ll touch me like I’m
a man. She’ll ride me in my bed and swallow me, because she
wants what she thinks was yours.”
Her jaw tightened, and she didn’t move other than to
breathe.
Do you want her to touch me? Do you even care?
“And she thinks she can do me better and erase you from
my memory,” I said.
“I don’t care.”
