Unwillingly Yours (Warning: Love Moderately) by Marian Tee, Lourdes Marcelo Page B

pulling him back to her but he resisted.
    “Do I have to rape you?” she muttered, completely annoyed. What else did he want? Her signature on a contract that deeded her virginity to him?
    “No, a contract won’t be necessary.” It was only when Derek answered that she realized she had said the words out loud. Derek was grinning, but she was glad to see the thread of pain in it. That meant he was suffering, too.
    He caressed her face with his knuckles again. “I need to know you are sure about this. About us. There’s no turning back after this.”
    “Yes!” She tugged him to her again, but still he resisted. “What now?” she all but demanded, her body writhing in desire for him, aching for his touch all over.
    Derek gripped her chin. “Listen to me, Jaike. I’m not like other men. If you decide to take me, it will be on my terms.”
    He meant he wanted to be her Dom, but they both knew it was too early to say those words out loud. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind from the cobwebs of passion and liquor. “W-what terms?”
    “If I take you, you will be mine, completely mine. I’ll never let you go after this.”
    She opened her mouth to speak, but he shook his head. “You’ll have to do whatever I tell you to do when we’re fucking.”
    Jaike scowled up at him. Why did he keep saying the word ‘fuck’? Couldn’t he do it instead?
    Derek nearly growled in frustration, finally realizing that Jaike was past being tipsy and halfway to being completely drunk. He shook her hard. “Jaike, listen---”
    “I’m listening!” she snapped. “And you’re saying so many things when all you should care about is getting me naked.” Jaike gasped right after the words left her mouth, shock and embarrassment sobering her up.
    Derek flashed a wicked smile that had her toes curling and some other more sensitive parts of her body responding. “We’ll get to that, baby. Soon. You should know by now how much I fucking want you. If we’re going to do this, I think I’ll have to punish you for all the years that you made me burn alone, made me goddamn masturbate when it could have been your hands, your mouth on my dick.”
              For a moment, all she could do was look at him, unable to believe how turned on she was at his dirty talk.
    Derek used one finger to trace her lips, and she trembled at the touch. It was such a simple touch, but it was incredibly sensual and intimate, like a different kind of kiss. The heated promise in his eyes was seductive, fanning the fire of passion in her body, making her ache between her legs. She had never felt like this with Angelo. Only Derek had made her a slave to passion, to
his
burning desires.
    “Remember, baby, I need you to promise me that you will do everything I tell you when we fuck.
Everything.
”
    The import of his words crashed over her. “Everything?” she whispered.
    He gave her a curt, hard nod. Both of his hands went to her face, drifting lower to curl around her neck and caress her shoulders.
    “What’s it to be?” he grated out when she still didn’t answer. He sounded angry, but when Jaike looked into his eyes, there wasn’t any sign of anger. What looked back at her was mostly desire, one so fierce it took her breath away. But something more important was also there---the strength of a man who could and would take care of her and find pleasure in doing so.
    Derek wasn’t right for her. He’d always be wrong for her, would in fact be the worst choice she could ever make. Jaike knew all those things, but right now none of them mattered.
    She really was her mother’s daughter, after all.
    Jaike raised her eyes to Derek’s stormy ones and whispered the one word that would change her life permanently. “Yes.”

 
    Derek pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it to the floor, leaving her dazed with her first long and leisurely look of his half-naked body. When he started unbuttoning his jeans and pulled the zipper down, a part
