“Aren’t you going to kiss me goodnight?”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea right now.”
“Why?”
“You know why.”
“Because I’d win?” I taunt.
“Because I’d lose you,” he says seriously.
My forehead creases as I lay my head on his chest.
“You can’t lose what you’ve never had,” I explain as he wraps me in his arms, cocooning me into his embrace.
“We’ll see,” he says with conviction.
“Why is this so important to you?”
“Becauseyouare.”
I let out an exhale, knowing that it will take more than a week for him to understand that sex is all I’ll ever be able to give him.
My heart is not on the table.
But just as my eyes become heavy again, I hear myself call out to him.
“Trent?”
“Yes, kitten?”
“Don’t stay over at Rex’s, okay?”
“Do you want me to comehome?” he says, emphasizing the word ‘home.’
“I just sleep better when you’re here. Don’t read too much into it.”
“Sure, kitten. Whatever you say.”
He doesn’t press on for more, which I appreciate.
Even I don’t understand why I asked him to come back to my place on Thanksgiving night, but now that he said he’ll be here, I feel like the boulder on my chest has subsided, leaving me feeling light and relaxed. So much so that I fall asleep listening to his heartbeat.
In the middle of the night, I’m jolted awake by the sound of my shower running, Trent no longer in bed beside me. I grab my phone off my bedside table and see it’s a quarter to four.
Hmm.
Trent usually only gets out of bed around five so he can grab a quick hour in the gym before he has to go to work.
I wonder what woke him up.
Still half asleep, I get out of bed and push the door open a little further to find Trent fucking his cock with his hand like he wants to beat it into submission. His low, vibrating grunts send a shiver down my spine, but it’s the pain edged away in his features that troubles me.
I walk into the bathroom on feather-light feet, stripping off my nightgown and panties before sliding the shower door open just enough to step inside. Trent’s eyes fling open, his girth doubling in size as I become within an arm’s reach.
But instead of grabbing me, like he so desperately wants, he balls his free hand into a fist while continuing to stroke away at his cock.
“Piper,” he growls, turning his back to me and holding onto the wall. “Go to bed, baby… please?”
