“Don’t you dare touch me, you arrogant arse!” she yelled.
“Jesus, Mia, I had to take that call. There was no way I could focus on anything when you start touching me,” I explained to her, trying to grab on to her shoulders to turn her to face me so I could reason with her. She was a true little spitfire when she was angry. She whirled around, but didn't speak. Mia then stormed back inside the house, slamming every door in the process.
Fuck me, I am such a prick. What a perfect time to go and piss her off, just when we were about to leave for the convention. Yeah, I had to go and fuck it all up and make her angry.
She was still slamming doors as Marco trudged up the porch steps. “I take it my sister just had a hissy fit about something?” he asked me, a smirk on his face. “Welcome to Mia’s temper tantrums. She doesn’t have them very often but when she does, they normally last for days.” Marco laughed, clutching his sides. “Oh, man, I’m glad it’s you who is going to have to put up with her for three days and not me.”
I gave him a deathly glare. “I am not finding this situation very funny at all, dickhead. I suggest you shut the fuck up and go get the jet organised.”

“I have nothing to say to you.”
She was still angry. I had done every suck-up job known to man but she wouldn’t budge. Marco was right; she was as stubborn as a mule when she got her nose out of joint and would not snap out of it.
Mia confused me more than ever. All these years, I never thought Mia could be so fiery; I always saw her as sweet and easily forgiving. Boy, I was wrong. I’d been going insane since that night at the pub in my apartment when I had a taste of her. Nothing in my life had prepared me for the sweet flavour of Mia.
My mind lingered on the feel of her soft curves, the intoxicating flavour of her arousal. I ached to take her again, to drive my cock deep into her and fuck her into the next damn century. I had a lot of work ahead of me. I had to try and woo her back into my good graces; otherwise, she’d resent the hell out of me afterwards. I wanted her to come to me like she did that first time. I needed her to come to me.
Marco flew us to Adelaide and we then boarded a plane directly to Cairns, Queensland. A wave of heat and humidity overwhelmed me as we sat on the plane at Cairns Airport, waiting to exit. I was at my wits’ end with Mia’s refusal to speak to me. “What’s your problem? You’ve been silent the entire flight.”
“You know what the problem is. Don’t play dumb.”
“I get it. You’re pissed I ignored you, is that it? You think it was easy for me to ignore you or walk away from you when I want you so much?”
“I think you’re crazy if you think I am ever going to let you so much as touch me again, much less do anything else on this trip.”
“We were on the porch in front of your house, for fuck’s sake. What did you want me to do? Fuck you against the railing or the wall? Be assured that was exactly what I wanted to do, but Marco was due to arrive at any given moment. You would’ve run so fast in the opposite direction my head would’ve spun. Then where would we be?”
Her gaze remained on the window as she said, “Your biggest problem is that you think you know me so well. You don’t, so stop acting like you do.”
“I know you well enough to know you would have regretted it. But it’s one of those cases of ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’. You would’ve been angry and cursing me regardless. Don’t deny it.”
She leaned in closer and growled, “I wanted you, yes, but you can’t handle a real woman. You like women who drop at your feet and fawn all over you. I’ve seen them, so don’t deny it. Don’t play the martyr, either; it doesn’t suit you. You are scared.”
My anger flared. “Fine, you want it all out in the open? You asked for it, angel, but don’t blame me if it’s more than what you wanted to hear.”
I lifted my hand and cupped the back of her head. When she tried to pull away, I held her firmly with a fistful of her dark, soft waves. My whisper was for her ears alone. “Fear isn’t what has my cock rockhard right now. Fear isn’t what rode me either, baby. I want to see you come again so badly that I would have taken you right there on your parents’ porch and fucked you. I wanted to watch those dark eyes of yours dilate and your face flushed with heat. But then I wouldn’t have stopped; I would’ve wanted more, like seeing that sexy arse of yours. I would’ve flipped you over and fucked you from behind, maybe spanked you a few times for being such a goddamn tease. After we recovered a bit, I would have taken you to the shower and fucked you there, too. I want my cock inside of you, in your mouth, your pussy and your arse. I want my cum filling you. It just wasn’t the right time.” Her mouth dropped open and her face turned beet red.
