Her lips turned up and she met my eyes. “You smile when you talk about him,” she said.

Almost automatically, I raised my hand to my face and found that I had indeed begun to smile, and it occurred to me Sorin might not be the reason. A troubling development, and one I would ignore for the moment.

“Is that all you bought?” I asked.

She nodded. “Yes.” Then she walked toward me, fumbling in her jeans’ pocket. “Here,” she said when she’d retrieved the cash. “Your change.”

I waved it away.

“No. Please,” she said. “It’s a lot, and if I add that, it’ll take me even longer to pay you back. I still haven’t figured out how I’m going to start.”

She hooded her eyes then, the huskiness of her voice having created an implication she hadn’t intended, one that I hadn’t realized until just this moment I might like.

“Keep it,” I said firmly.

We stood for moments longer, Fawn clearly warring with whether to object, but she finally relented. “I will pay you back,” she said with the most certainty I’d ever heard her say anything.

“As you wish,” I said.

Later, when it was time to sleep, she looked at the bed and then me, eyes wary as they’d been the night before. It angered me.

“If I wanted to rape you, I could have a thousand times over,” I said in a gruff voice that was a near growl.

She looked stricken, and then to my surprise, apologetic. “I—It’s just that, people always want things.”

“People like me?” I asked, voice scornful.

She nodded. “Yes. People like you. And people like David. Nothing in this life is free, Vasile,” she said, sounding both wise and weary, something that made me want to hold her close and protect her because I knew what she said was true. The instinct was completely foreign to me, one I didn’t dare act on but one that I couldn’t ignore either.

“Don’t say his name here,” I said.

She immediately nodded her assent, and I continued, “You can take care of this place to repay me.”

“Okay.” She smiled and nodded almost happily. Then she closed the distance between us but stopped before she reached me. She extended her hand slowly, let her fingers rest against my wrist for the briefest moment.

“Thank you, Vasile,” she said. Then she moved quickly to climb into bed, the pants and long-sleeved T-shirt she wore quite different than yesterday’s attire, but still doing nothing to disguise the lush curves of her body.

When she’d settled, she looked toward me expectantly.

“I’ll sleep later,” I said and then turned abruptly and headed to the bathroom.

I considered myself a logical man, one not subject to emotions or raging passions, but Fawn was challenging that belief as the iron-hard erection her simple touch had spawned proved. Yes, she’d been through things, had shown glimpses of a woman familiar with the griminess of the world, something I respected, but this reaction to her was unexpected.

After working my pants around my cock and down, I got into the shower, hoping it would cool me.

It did not.

Thoughts of her full lips had me lifting my hand. Thoughts of the long column of her neck, the soft-looking skin there had me closing my hand around my shaft. And thoughts of the bounty of her body laid out before me, a near-endless series of curves and valleys to explore had me sliding my hand down for the first stroke.

Would she be tentative, shy, when I touched her, or would she touch me back? My cock leaked precum furiously, my own fluid mixing with the cold spray of the shower and slicking my hand as I stroked myself harder and then harder, imagining Fawn’s warm body under mine, her wide eyes looking up at me as I pounded into her.

My orgasm hit hard and fast, cum shooting out of me on a rush of gut-wrenching pleasure. I leaned against the cool tile and rode out my climax. Once I finally regained conscious thought, I wondered what I’d gotten myself into.
