ACQUAINTANCE

Elena's Pov:

He smashed his lips on mine, not giving me the time to breathe or anything, instead, he stuck into my mouth and I really struggled to push him away but his hand was gripping my head. When he pulled away he looked at me, saying absolutely nothing. Then he turned to the side and spat something out. The Bluetooth that was inserted in my teeth. No wonder why he had kissed me. He knew.

"Let go of me." I tried to remove my hands but he kept yanking me till I gave up. "Why would you violate me for no reason? What you just did is considered sexual harassment."

"And who do you know to report me to? The CIA? The FBI? If so, that's cute."

"Just let me go."

"I'm not done with you yet." He went ahead and stepped on the Bluetooth." He just cut me off the link I had with them. They couldn't hear me anymore. I remembered the necklace and I instantly pressed it. He noticed. "How pathetic, for real." He seemed really calm about this. Obviously didn't mind if they badged into this place and started a fight with him. "Doesn't matter though. At least now they can't hear what we're saying. I have a few questions to ask you."

"And you really expect me to give you answers?" He smirked at my question.

"I know how to deal with ladies like you. So simple." He said, causing me to scoff. He rested a hand on my thigh. "And trust me. You wouldn't be able to do anything about it, not even Damon." He promised.

"What are you planning to do?" I asked. I'd never ask Antonio that kind of question, because I knew him, I was terrified when he got angry, it shut me the fuck up. But Derek? I wasn't scared anymore, just curious about what he was intending to do with me. His hand trailed further upwards.

"The meeting we had in the club was planned, wasn't it? Damon sent you, didn't he?" He cocked a brow but I scoffed.

"You speak like I don't have a mind of my own. Why would he send me to do something like that when I can do it on my own?"

"Oh, so you're saying a married woman can just walk up to any man and try to seduce him in front of her husband? Like Damon?" He asked and I smirked.

"It was a simple gesture. I got the permission from him to walk up to you. I didn't even know you."

"We both know you're lying and I don't fancy liars." His face looked bored but his tone was low and foreboding. His hand trailed upwards again.

"Derek," I called instinctively and he stopped before looking up at me.

"Oh, you say my name well. Perhaps I should go...further?" He trailed up even more.

"You can't keep using this against me."

"Mia, this is the easiest of my principles." In a dark and sinister voice, Derek said, " I like you very much but I warn you, if you cross me, I'll make sure Damon pays the price. You don't want to end up like those other girls, do you? Those who tried to trespass all ended up the same way. So, I'm making this clear and I wouldn't care if Damon came for me after that, he'd have lost you already." The threat hung heavy in the air, the words chilling and dangerous. I shivered. I was seeing Antonio in him.

"You wouldn't dare," I stated and he chuckled.

"We'll see. First answer my question." His finger had reached my sex.

"Don't. I'm begging." I finally said and he glanced up at me. "Don't do this." I pleaded.

"Begging doesn't work on me. I only want answers, then I'll release you. Think twice before you act Mia." He said as though he was ready in my mind.

"I can't tell you anything. I can't do that."

"You seem to know much about me. But the mistake you made was thinking I'd be that easy to woo." He chuckled. "Well, I'm not gonna be sorry for this." He pushed my panties aside and I tried to raise my legs so he wouldn't have that opportunity. He pulled me down from the table and where and how he managed to handcuff me would remain a mystery to me.

"What the fuck Derek, I'm not your toy. Just wait till Antonio knows this, he'll never let it slide."

"You really think I care about that? He seemed really pissed when he saw you in my arms that day. Only you knew what happened between the both of you the moment you got home." He emphasized taking my memory back to that day. "You'll be the one to suffer this Mia, the reason being that you want this but you keep denying yourself."

"I'm not fucking denying myself. You can't replace Antonio no matter how much you try." I stated and his eyes darkened before his brows cocked.

"You think so?" His finger plunged into me. My jaw dropped as I tried to jerk away from him.

"Derek please don't do this."

"Your words say one thing and your body says another." He added another finger. Fuck he was just like his brother. Still struggling to get out of his grip, he added the third finger and I nearly passed out because my moan came out so suddenly. He held me so close to him. I could barely say anything.

"See what I'm saying? Body language never lies honey."

"Derek," I said in barely a whisper and whimper. "Let me go. I'll tell you." He removed his hand causing my skirt to drop. But he was too quick to believe I instantly kneed him in the groin. He recovered quickly though and gripped my hand before tossing me to the bed.

"Let me go, Derek, please, just let me go."

"How about we finish what you started?" He placed a hand on my mouth and when I thought he was going to do something I'd regret, he paused and said absolutely nothing, just stared at me with dark eyes as he wrapped my legs around me. Then he leaned in. "Any second now. One... two..."

Then a gunshot was heard before someone barged into the room.

Derek smirked.
