Broken Promise (The Denton Family Legacy #1)(18)
“Good. Take your hair down, and you’re going to have to learn to trust me.”
“You’re doing this on purpose?”
“What? Tempting you? Making you want something you didn’t think you wanted to know?” he asked.
“Yes to everything, and you’re doing it on purpose.”
Leaning forward, he captured her chin, running his thumb across her bottom lip. He was a little surprised that she didn’t try to bite him. “Let’s just say I know what I need to do to make sure you belong to me.”
“This is not going to get you in my pants.”
“You will, when the time is right.” His cock was rock hard, and he was finding it hard not to just grab her, bend her over the nearest counter, and fuck her. But he wasn’t into rape, and Lou wasn’t going to give in easily.
“You arrogant ass.”
“I know, and you’re going to love it about me.” He gave her a wink. “Do we have a deal?”
She sighed, and pulled her hair out, letting it fall down.
Letting her go, he sat back. “Run your fingers through your hair,” he said.
Lou ran fingers through her hair doing as he instructed. “There? Are you satisfied?”
“Yes, I am.” Handing her the menu, he urged her to order. “Pick whatever you want.”
“Do you own this place as well?”
“The Dentons own everything.”
She shook her head. “You know the rumors about you are not good.”
“What kind of rumors?” he asked, intrigued. There were a lot of rumors about him and his family.
“That you’re not known for showing mercy.”
“Yet you don’t know if I’ve killed anyone.”
She shrugged. “I try not to listen to rumors, but seeing as we’re here, I figured it’s a good point of talking about something.”
“Do you really think we’ve not got anything in common?” he asked.
“No. We’re completely different. There’s no way we have anything in common.” She looked up from the menu.
Running a finger across his bottom lip, he watched her. He wanted to see those full tits bouncing in front of his face as he rode her pussy hard. “Are you a virgin?”
She rested her arms on the table, placing the menu in front of them. “Are you?”
“A little fighter. I like it. No, I’m not a virgin. I like pussy way too much.”
“I’m not a virgin either.”
“Really?”
“Why do you sound so surprised?” she asked.
“Your parents—”
She laughed. “Yeah, my parents. They’re the reason I’ve made so many crazy decisions, and I’ve hated most of them. My virginity, I gave it up when I realized that my parents were looking for a prospective husband for me.” She snorted, and he saw the pain in her eyes. “I was seventeen at the time, and I wasn’t interested in sex and fucking. I was walking downstairs in our home when I overheard them talking to some guy. I don’t know who he was, but they were saying how I’d never been with a boy, not even had a boyfriend or something like that. Anyway, to cut a long story short, he wanted a virgin bride, and I was a virgin. By the end of the week, I was no longer a virgin.” Her hands shook a little as she picked up her menu. “I’m in the mood for greasy. What about you?”
He looked down at his menu, angry at her parents. This was the world where they lived, and most of the time, women were married off as some kind of trophy. He shouldn’t be angry, but he was. He was fucking furious.
“You didn’t want to have sex?” he asked.
She looked up from her menu. “As shocking as this may sound, I wasn’t actually ready to give it up. I did it because I felt that if I didn’t do something, they were going to take the decision right out of my hands, and that I couldn’t stomach. This is my life, my body.” She forced another laugh. “I say those words, and yet I fucked a guy I didn’t like because he was easy, and I knew he’d brag about bagging the Moore girl. Riley beat the shit out of the guy, which again didn’t make me happy. When I think of my life, all I see is a bunch of decisions that were taken out of my hands.”
“Is that why you don’t want to go on a date with me?”
Lou licked her lips. “It’s one of them. Besides, I don’t want to be part of this life, this world that you Dentons rule.”
“Have you fucked a man you wanted to?”
She nodded. “Yes, a couple of years ago. I’m not a prude. When was the first time you had sex?”
“I was thirteen, and I seduced the babysitter. She was eighteen.”
