“We need to talk.”
I hadn’t realized I stopped breathing until his hand was wrapping around my wrist and he was pulling me away from the car. My legs felt like complete Jello as I followed after him, my heart racing at lightning speed in my chest.
I wasn’t sure where he was taking me, but it wasn’t inside. We wandered around the villa exterior and then suddenly he stopped, turning to look at me, his eyes dark and soul searching, leaving me paralyzed as I looked back at him.
“Tell me what happened the other night,” he said, his eyes narrowed as he studied me.
My face paled.
“What?” I asked him.
He stepped closer to me, his body only inches from mine, and made my heart beat even faster.
“Don’t play stupid with me, Judy. The Grand Casino Hotel… tell me what happened there.”
I studied him for a moment; he was so out of it that night that there was no way he would remember anything happening. Even so, it wasn’t me he wanted there with him… it was Rachel. It was Rachel he thought he was kissing.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I told him, my voice coming out almost hollow.
He scowled at me, walked towards me and I took a step back, trying to gain some distance between us, until my back was pressed against the building and there was literally nowhere for me to go. He put his hands on either side of me, resting them on them on the building.
“Then why the fuck did I taste you on my lips?” He asked me. “Why do I remember the way you moaned my name? Why do I remember your warm breath on my skin?” His tone deepened with each question he asked, his lips growing nearer to my skin, making me tremble from his scrutiny.
My breathing was harsh as I tried hard not to look at him, but he made it impossible by how close he was.
“I don’t know…” I whisper. “Maybe you were dreaming…”
“Bullshit,” he said through his teeth.
