Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 11 A Misunderstanding

The hotel room door opened abruptly the second Erin rang the doorbell. Darkness was all she could see as a large hand dragged her inside and pushed her against the door. She could taste the wine from his lips, dulling her senses. The man was quite impatient.

Erin had been struggling from the start but was completely overpowered by him. Her body felt weak, making her slide downward to the floor. The man carried her into the bedroom, where he pinned her down with his body once she was on the bed. His movements were rough, without any trace of gentleness.

“You look special tonight…”

Not even a few seconds later, Chandler stopped completely in his tracks, and a hand shot out to grab at Erin’s neck.

Coldly, he said, “Why do I smell another man’s cologne all over you?”

This smell was familiar to him. Erin struggled to breathe and tried to get up, but he had pinned her down completely. Although the lights were not turned on, she could feel his icy gaze on her. He was like a black panther, waiting for the perfect time to strike and bite into his prey’s neck. She was terrified.

“Please, let go of me. I can’t breathe.”

Her voice came out in between breaths. Chandler’s gaze darkened and slightly loosened the grip on her neck, though he still had his hand on her. “Don’t lie to me, I guarantee you will not be able to deal with the consequences.”

His grip was strong, and it made her gasp in pain.
