I started to laugh as I grabbed her otherwrist and held them as she fought with me.
“Aw, does my princess want to fight?” Ichuckled. She screamed in fury at me.
I knew how much she hated that I called herthat, that I patronized her so often, but she had to have known bynow that she had no chance against me, yet she continued to pushand fight. I loved the spirit in her, and I realized then that Ididn’t want to break it; I just wanted to bend it to my will. And Icertainly would.
“Yeah, you know what, I’m suddenly in themood, you stupid controlling fuck,” she replied to me.
I felt my blood rush with rage andexhilaration. She was going to be in even bigger trouble afterthis, but I would enjoy the fight in her for now while it lasted.She hadn’t fought me like this in weeks, but I was sure seeing herfamily on screen had added a little fuel to her burning embers.
She continued to fight with me while Ilaughed underneath her, showing her that even if she was on top,she still wasn’t in control. Eventually, she finally had enough andthrew her head down at me in an attempt to head-butt my face, but this time, I wasn’t allowingit.
I maneuvered my head to the side so she’dhit my shoulder instead and immediately wrapped my arm around theback of her neck, forcing her into a headlock. She quickly twistedher head to the side so that the tighter I pulled, the deeper herchin would dig into my ribs, but that was fine. I didn’t plan tokeep her like that for long. She then tried to punch my side,targeting my kidneys with her free hand, and while I felt herpunches and groans to freeherself, I ignored it all.
When she realized she wasn’t gettinganywhere with punching me, I saw her begin to lift her legs toattempt something else. Her kicks were powerful, I had to give herthat, and I wasn’t about to give her an advantage, so I quicklyrolled her onto her back whilestill keeping her head locked against my side. She was quick on thedraw and somehow managed to bring her legs in, which now separatedher body from mine.
“You seriously underestimate me,” I heardher say as I had kept her head in place.
And then she did the one thing I can’tfucking stand. She pinched me.Right under the soft skin of my arm, shepinched me as hard as she fucking could. I jerked from thesurprise, but that single jolt provided her with the one solitaryinch she needed to slip her head out of my lock and twist her stillcaptive wrist around so that she was now gripping mine.
The second she was free, her legs pushed outwith all their might and actually pushed me off her and away fromthe bed. I stopped my momentum from going any further and lunged ather in fury, but she had already somersaulted backward and was nowstanding on the opposite end of the bed.
Rage coated her face while her bare chestbobbed up and down from her labored breathing. I had to give it toher. I really did underestimate her, which was why I often foundher agility impressive, and I loved the challenge it presentedme.
“You are so gonna get it now,” I promisedher as I narrowed my eyes. What stared back at me was not a girlentranced by fear—no, she had transformed it into misplaceddefiance and rage, and I was so looking forward to replacingit.
“Fuck with me,” she seethed. “See whathappens to you.”
Oh, fuck, if that didn’t make my dick throb.I was so going to fuck that smart mouth of hers and remind her ofwhat happens when she tries to threaten me—when she defies me. We were in for a long night.
“I’m gonna enjoy this,” I said and leapedacross the bed for her.
She lunged away from my advance, but I wasfaster as I caught her upper arm and roughly pulled her to me. Thearm I had gripped wrapped around my own and held it fast, but itdid nothing to stop me from wrapping my other hand around herthroat and squeezing. Jaden immediately swung her free arm up,hooking her fingers against my thumb that pushed on her trachea andblocked her airway. She managed to pull my thumb away only acentimeter, but it was plenty to allow her to breathe. Before shecompleted her escape, her front leg kicked out and her tiny footconnected with my abs causing me to lurch forward as a sharp painenveloped my core.
I refused to allow her any satisfaction ofseeing that. I threw her to the floor by her throat and pounced onher before she had a chance to move. She tried to keep her kneestogether and bent, but I forced them apart and placed myselfbetween them before she could fight me any further. She got in onegood quick elbow to my face as I lowered myself to her and painexploded in my cheekbone, but I ignored it as I took both her slimwrists in my hands and pinned them above her head.
Jaden continued to fight and struggle as sheavoided my eyes as if they would turn her to stone if she connectedwith them, but I wanted her attention. Right now.
“Look at me, Jaden,” I growled at her andsqueezed her wrists until she cried out from the pressure. I knewhow much she loathed looking at me when I had her in a positionlike this because it forced her to acknowledge her position underme. Her body language was so easy to read; it was like
