BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 34
His eyes flicker down to my lips, the tension between us growing stronger. Is he going to kiss me? I hope not because my vagina hasn't exactly been on my side lately. "You don't like when I play with you, kitten? Because it sure the fuck didn't sound like it last night."
"That was...uh...different..." I trail off, grappling for words.
"How?" He waits patiently, his intense amber gaze locking onto mine, sending my heart into a frenzy.
I growl, jutting my chin defiantly. "It's not like you gave me a fucking choice!"
His expression turns arrogant, and I already have a sense of whatever dumb shit he's about to say. "And when you asked me to fuck you? What was that?"
Stupidity. Weakness. Depravity. I'm sure all of those words explain it.
When I don't answer, his smirk deepens. "Come with me. The boys and I put something together before they left to go meet Gray at the airport."
I'd have liked to go with them, but maybe it's best that Gray meets Zuri at the house. I don't want him yelling at me in the middle of the airport.
King leads me back upstairs, and I notice a door ajar that I haven't been in yet. I never really cared to look in it, but now that it's open, I'm curious.
He leans against the doorframe, gesturing for me to enter.
My jaw drops as I take in the sight before me: they've set up everything King bought for Zuri yesterday-a white crib with pink bedding in the corner, pink curtains, paintings of baby animals on the wall, a rocking chair, and a colorful toy box filled with toys.
What the hell is going on? They all did this for Zuri? For me?
I blink away the tears forming in the corners of my eyes, unable to wrap my mind around any of this. They literally tormented me in high school, and now King wants me to live with him. And then they stayed up last night and decorated this room for my daughter.
I know Mason just does what he's told, but what about King and Niko? I refuse to believe this is just about sex, they could get that anywhere. So, why am I so special? What else do they get out of this?
"What do you think?" King asks when it takes me too long to react. I turn to him, finding his expression guarded, like he's afraid of the answer.
I bite my lip. "Um, it's beautiful," I answer honestly. "It just looks more permanent than it's supposed to."
King flashes me a condescending smile. "That's what moving trucks are for, kitten." "Okay, smartass," I murmur, rolling my eyes.
As soon as the words leave my mouth, his hand shoots out, wrapping around the front of my throat and pressing me against the wall of what's supposed to be Zuri's room. My breath catches, and I gaze up at him, wide-eyed.
His thumb brushes along my bottom lip, and I swallow hard, the movement sending a surge of lust jolting through me. "Careful, kitten. I'll try to be nice to you while you're here, but that means you have to behave like a good girl." Content belongs to Novelxo.org S
"And what are you going to do if I'm not?" I challenge, my heart rate skyrocketing.
"Last night was just a little sample of
what I can do," he whispers in my ear. "Disrespect me like that again and I'll tie you up and tease you until you're dripping all over my bed, and then I'll just leave you like that." Content belongs to Novelxo.org
I blink rapidly as his words sink in. Holy shit. Why do I want that to happen?
I shouldn't. If I'm going to let him blackmail me into this, we need to have some sort
of boundaries. He can't just hold all the fucking cards in his hand all the time.

The sound of Zuri's shrill cry snaps me out of my thoughts. "I was wondering when she would wake up," he says, stepping away and allowing me to breathe some air that isn't tainted with his scent. His demeanor shifts, turning softer as he glances towards the door of the guest bedroom. "Both of you need to get dressed and ready for breakfast. They should be here soon.

With that, he disappears downstairs, leaving me to rush and get Zuri, my head still
spinning from our conversation.
