Felt my elbow draw back. Felt my arm dart forward, my knuckles crack into Cole's jaw. I couldn't stop myself. His head whipped to the side, and blood leaked from a cut in his lip. Behind me, gasps of shock abounded. \"I'm recovered,\" I said. \"Believe me now?\" Those violet eyes slitted when they found me. \"Assault and battery is illegal.\" \"So have me arrested.\" He closed what little distance there was between us. Suddenly I could feel his warmth of his breath caressing my skin. \"How about I put you over my lap and spank you instead?\" \"How about I knee your balls into your throat?\" \"If you're going to play with that particular area, I'd rather you use your hands.\" \"My hands aren't going near that area ever again.\" A pause. Then, \"I bet I could change your mind,\" he whispered huskily. \"I bet I could bash yours.\" I drew back another fist, but he was ready and caught me midswing. His pupils dilated, a sign of arousal. Another sign: he began to pant. He was acting like I'd tried to unbuckle his jeans rather than smack fire out of him. \"Hit me again,\" he said, still using the same whispered tone, \"and I'll take it as an invitation.\" I was just as bad. I trembled with longing I couldn't control and struggled to catch my breath. \"An invitation to do what?\" His grip loosened, his fingers rubbing my skin. A caress, not a warning. \"I guess we'll find out together.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Gena Showalter" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/gena-showalter/i-felt-my-hand-curl-into-a-fist-felt-my-elbow-draw-back-felt-my-arm/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c4b/gena-showalter-541_alice_i-felt-my-hand-curl-into-a-fist-felt-my_932515.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c4b/gena-showalter-541_alice_i-felt-my-hand-curl-into-a-fist-felt-my_932515.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c4b/gena-showalter-541_alice_i-felt-my-hand-curl-into-a-fist-felt-my_932515.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I felt my hand curl into a fist.
