Ily
ONE MOMENT, HENRI’S ENTIRE BODY smothered me. The next, he was across the room and slamming the door to the bathroom.
I winced at the bang.
I hugged myself as the tap turned on and water splashed in the sink.
Had he been so disgusted he’d had to wash off my orgasm the very second I’d finished?
Despair blanketed me.
Tears that I really didn’t want to cry stung my eyes. Until I’d been dumped in this horrible place, I never used to cry.
But now, I couldn’t stop.
Wedging my face in my hands, I willed myself to get a grip.
He’d given me a release.
That was all.
He’d been selfless and kind, and it’d felt so unbelievably good.
One of the best of my life and all from a simple grind.
I’d tried to fight it.
I’d told myself I couldn’t come because that would be the worse treason imaginable, but…an orgasm had crashed over me anyway. Delivered without fingers or tongue, a quick impersonal rubbing and it’d broken me in ways I hadn’t expected.
Don’t think about it.
Swiping at my stupid tears, I held my chin high.
Henri was right.
Whatever just happened meant nothing because we were nothing. Tomorrow, once his squadron came, we would go our separate ways. I would never tell anyone what happened in this room, and he would never have to tell his boss that our fragile alliance had strayed over yet another blurry line.
No one has to know.
Not even Peter.
I gritted my teeth and threw myself off the bed.
Definitely not Peter.
If I had to see the other jewels before Henri’s team arrived to save them, then I would take our little bump and grind to the grave. Not because shame coated me, but because Peter would call me stupid and scold me all over again.
The water cut off in the bathroom.
I hurriedly made sure all my tears were gone.
I had a horrible premonition of Henri slipping into Victor’s office to turn off the scrambler, only to be spied, caught, and killed.
Panic settled like an iceberg in my stomach.
What if he left and never came back?
