Icebreaker

Anastasia wakes up to find Henry in Nathan’s bedroom. Nathan forces Henry to apologize to Anastasia for commenting on how loud she is during sex. Anastasia is embarrassed that Nathan is so overprotective and tells him so. But she also calls him a “sexy-but-caring-dad” (166). Later, Aaron is absent from the Halloween party because he’s still angry about Anastasia’s relationship with Nathan. At the nightclub, Nathan is dressed as Gru from the film Despicable Me, and his teammates are dressed as his yellow minions. Anastasia shows up dressed as a sexy hockey player. She spins to show off JJ’s name on the back, and Nathan immediately becomes jealous, grabs her, and carries her to a bathroom.

He demands that she take JJ’s jersey off. When she acts coy about it, he pins her against the wall, telling her to take it off or he’ll rip it off. She teases him about his anger. He admits he is angry and tears off her clothes. He is rough and promises to get rougher, and she keeps egging him on because this side of him excites her. She orgasms quickly, and Nathan gives her a speech about how she belongs to him, saying, “It’s my name you fucking scream” (172).
