Destructively Alluring by N. Isabelle Blanco Read Free Book Online

ever pushed her buttons enough -obviously- to see this side of her.
    She was planning on going in there no matter what I said. She was too worked up to hear the logic behind what I was saying, however flawed that it was.
    Very well…
    “Dorian! What the fuck?”
    I lifted Demi and draped her right over my shoulder, snapping one arm around her legs to keep her still.
    “Dorian! You’ve gone insane!”
    “Clearly,” I mumbled, already scrolling through my contacts in search of my driver’s number.
    “Dorian, what gives you the right to go psycho on me?” Demi asked in a falsely sweet tone.
    I moved deeper into the maze. My company had actually designed the gardens for this place years ago and if I remembered correctly, there was another exit that led out to one of the parking areas on the other side of the property.
    “I told you, Demi,” I finally answered her after sending the text to Carl and asking him to bring the limo around. “I’m attracted to you and therefore it’s not really my fault I’m out of control. It’s yours.”
    There was a heavy silence that followed that statement.
    “You said no such thing,” Demi said after a few seconds, her tone odd.
    Heavy.
    Hot.
    Boing!
    You’re pathetic.
    You’re the one talking to yourself again.
    “Well,” I responded, ignoring the fact that I was indeed going mad. “I thought it was very obvious.”
    “That is still no excuse for you to act like a brute.”
    The petulant and miffed tone in her voice actually made me smile.
    “I’m not letting you go back to someone who will most likely end up trying to seduce you.”
    “Keith won’t try that!”
    “Yes, he will.”
    “He’s not like you!”
    “Damn right he’s not.”
    “Dorian, I swear to God. Put me down right now!”
    Funny, she was demanding I let her go but she wasn’t really struggling. As a matter of fact, she was downright pliant in my hold. All I had to do was look to my right and there was that hot ass of hers. I was so busy ogling her that I almost missed the near-hidden exit I was searching for.
    “You’re acting like a freaking caveman,” Demi huffed, bracing her hands against my back and trying to lift herself up.
    I tightened my arm around her legs and braced myself for battle.
    “I thought women liked that,” I said lightly, turning so I could maneuver us through the tight exit. Which worked even more to my advantage. Demi was forced to lay back down and behave.
    Something that wasn’t going to last for long. I assure you.
    “Not if you don’t have a right to act like it,” Demi growled.
    “Back to that again, are we?”
    “I saw you kiss another woman so you do not have the right!”
    “You stubborn woman, I told you- she kissed me .”
    I don’t know if it was the tone of my voice. Perhaps it was that we’d stepped out of the maze and were now in the small parking lot, which was completely devoid of people. I couldn’t even see one security guard around.
    Whatever it was, it served to rekindle the fight in Demi and the woman started struggling furiously. Her legs kicked hard, one knee slamming into my ribcage. I cursed, circling both arms around her as much as I could. I continued heading out into the parking lot, spotting my parked limo fifty feet away.
    “You infuriating, obstinate man!”
    “Hah! Pot, kettle!” I fired back.
    “Fuck you!”
    I actually barked out a laugh, feeling exhilarated for some reason. Knowing that there were cameras around, I flipped her over my shoulder but didn’t put her down. Demi ended up cradled in my arms, her hair a tempting mess and her arms crossed as she glared daggers at me.
    “I’m going to scream like I’m being raped if you don’t put me down.”
    Why that made me hiss, I’ll never know.
    Liar.
    My driver, Carl, opened the door and exited the limo just as we were ten feet away.
    “You wouldn’t want to make me look bad in front of Carl, now would you?” I asked, throwing her a playfully pleading look.
    She was
