His Arrogant Human Mate novel Chapter 13

"What if I were to challenge you?" I tested, pulling the cart out of the bathroom.

Dominic growled playfully, pulling me against him and biting my throat. "I'd think you were adorable, but then I'd spank your little rear end until you submitted." To prove his point, his hand came down on my bum hard, making me yelp.

"Stop that. You can't touch me like that."

"Can't I, princess?"

I looked up at him. "Not in public."

He grinned viciously at me. "Shall we return to the privacy of the bathroom then?"

"Ew, sicko. Yeah, right. Like I'd ever want to do that with you."

The owner of the store did pay for the groceries, even though our cart was almost filled to the brim. Dominic thanked him profusely before introducing us. The owner smiled politely at me while I shook his hand. He then promised Dominic that this wouldn't be a problem again, and that he was sorry for the trouble.

"So if something like this happens again, will you ever let me fight?" I quizzed once he pulled out of the parking lot of the store.

"Absolutely not."

I pouted. "What? Why not?"

"You can't fend for yourself."

"How do you know?"

His fists tightened on the wheel and he growled. "Once I get these groceries put away, I'm going to let you take me outside, and I'll show you that you can't defend yourself," he grumbled.

"Fine!"

"If I can get you to surrender, I win. If you get me on my back, you win. Deal?"

I nodded, bouncing from foot to foot excitedly. "How long do I have to have you on your back?" I quizzed, envisioning myself smacking the absolute crap out of Dominic's stupid smug face.

"If I hit the ground on my back, that's it. Doesn't matter how long. If I'm down, I'm down."

Oh. This would be easier than I thought. He was a big guy, "What do you get if you win?"

"A kiss."

"What do I get if I win?"

"A kiss," he said with a wicked smile.

I clenched my fists, punching him softly in the chest. "That isn't fair, you big dummy! You win either way!"

I pouted. "You knew?"

"Of course. But I mean, I can pretend not to know, if that means I get to kiss you a little bit longer."

I sat up, crossing my arms over my chest as I glared at him. "You didn't give me a real chance."

"Princess, if I gave you a real chance, you'd have surrendered the second we started."

He rubbed my thighs gently, before his hands skimmed around to my back, pressing me towards him again. "Kiss me more."

"Nooooo," I whined, arching my neck to evade him.

"Mine," he hummed. "You're mine."

"Dominic, stop it. I've already told you-"

I let out a loud "oof" as he rolled us back over, gripping my hands and locking them above my head. "I need to claim you," he said intensely. "I'm bored of you fighting and acting like I haven't already made up my mind. I have." The sudden shift of position knocked the air out of my lungs, so I was breathing hard while squirming around, my chest rising and falling rapidly. I ignored the way his eyes fell to my breasts, his lips fighting that smirk.

"But you're making the wrong choice. Look at me. I'm not what you want," I said tiredly.

His hips rolled towards mine, and I felt my eyes widen as I felt his... You know. His thing. "Here's the problem, sugar. I have been looking at you, and the longer I look at you, the more I want you. Can you feel that?"
