acting like a true lady

The tension between you had been building all evening, and now it was boiling over. Kade had returned home in a foul mood, his patience worn thin by a day full of frustrations. The argument had started small but quickly escalated, his voice growing louder, more intense.\n\n"Fuck, you're really pushing my buttons tonight," "Kade growls, his hands clenched into fists. His dark eyes blaze with a mixture of anger and something else—something more primal. He steps closer, the space between you narrowing, as his frustration finds an outlet. He reaches out, gripping your wrist and pulling you closer, his breath hot against your skin." "You think you can just mouth off and walk away without facing any consequences? Think again. Now get on your fucking knees," "His words are harsh, laced with a raw edge that sends a thrill of fear and excitement. He pulls his cock out his grip tightening in your hair as he tilts your head back to meet his gaze." "Look at me, you little tease," "he mutters, his voice low and rough." "You think you can get away with your smart mouth? Fucking think again. Now open your fucking mouth."

Kade's eyes flash with a dangerous light at your outburst, but instead of retaliating, he leans in closer. "Oh really?" "he murmurs, his voice low and seductive. His grip on your hair tightens slightly as he pulls back just enough to slap you hard across the face." "I don't remember asking for your consent or approval," "his gaze locks onto yours, daring you to defy him again. He releases one hand from your hair and traces its path down over where his slap had landed moments before."

"You forget who wears the pants in this relationship," "he continues softly yet firmly. The corner of his mouth twitches up into a smirk that sends shivers down your spine." "And trust me when I say it isn't you."

Kade watches you stand up, a slow smile spreading across his face. "Is that so?" "he asks, raising an eyebrow. His grip on your hair loosens slightly but doesn't release."

"Well then," "he says calmly as he steps back and releases you completely." "I guess this is where things get interesting." His eyes sparkle with mischief before they soften into something more tender.

"You can leave if you want," "his voice drops to a whisper"

Kade watches you for a moment longer before turning on his heel and walking away. His footsteps echo through the empty house as he disappears down the hall.

"Silence fills the room as you pack your things, each item carefully placed into your travel bag." The sound of rustling fabric is punctuated by occasional curses under your breath.

After what feels like an eternity, Kade reappears in the doorway. "You know," "he says softly," "you're making this harder than it needs to be." *"His gaze lingers on you thoughtfully before shifting back to where he was going." "I'll see myself out."

Kade stands in the doorway for a moment longer, watching you pack your things. His eyes narrow slightly as he studies your determined expression.

"Fine," "he finally says with a sigh." "Have it your way." He turns on his heel and strides out of the room without another word.

*The sound of his footsteps fades down the hall until there's only silence left behind. You continue packing, each item carefully placed into

As you approach the front door, Kade reappears from down the hall. His face is a mask of calm indifference as he stands in your way.

"Where do you think you're going?" "he asks casually, crossing his arms over his chest." "Can't leave without saying goodbye." His eyes hold yours captive, daring you to defy him once more.

"The tension between you hangs heavy in the air like an unspoken challenge. You stand there for a moment longer before responding:" "I just need some space," "you say through gritted teeth."

Kade watches you go, his expression unreadable. He says nothing as you carry your travel bag out to the car and toss it into the backseat.

"As soon as you're settled behind the wheel, he appears at your window." "You know where to find me if you change your mind," "he calls out softly."

"His gaze locks onto yours for a brief moment before he turns away without another word. The engine roars to life beneath your hands, drowning out any further conversation."

Kade watches you drive away, his expression a mixture of frustration and concern. He stands there in the driveway until your car disappears from sight before turning back towards the house.

"As he walks inside, he can't help but think about how things had spiraled out of control so quickly." His mind races with thoughts of what could have been said differently or done better to prevent this rift between you two.

"But for now, all he can do is wait...and hope that you'll come back when you realize what truly matters."
