“Oh.I didn’t know that you…”
“No.Evidently not.”He leaned in close to my ear.“What if I told you that I dream about slamming you up against the wall and driving my cock into your sweet, soft body until my legs turn to rubber?”
My heart hammered against my ribs.His words ignited a scorching visual that excited and scared me half to death.I bristled, pulling back in confusion, and tried to extinguish the flames licking my core.
“Why are you telling me all thisnow?Why didn’t you ever—”
“Say something to you?I couldn’t.”A melancholy smile curled his sensual mouth.“You belonged to another.I abide by the code of conduct.I might be a sadist, but I’m an ethical one.”
My throat was dry.My body trembled.His words turned me inside out.“I’m flattered, but this… it’s pointless.You already know I don’t do pain.And I’m not mentally equipped for anything right now, much less this conversation.So, if you’ll just leave, I’ll get cleaned up.”
Tony tensed, straightened, and issued a sharp nod.Stepping around me, he leaned in and turned on the shower, taking his time to adjust the water temperature.
I stared at his muscles as they bunched and flexed, wondering if I possessed the power to resist the temptation of his words, his body, or the gnawing need to feel whole again.I closed my eyes and sucked in a ragged breath, welcoming the chilling grief of losing George to fill me once again.It was daunting and painful but so much safer than craving something I had no business wanting…Tony.
Jerking my eyes open as his fingertips skimmed along my shoulder, he smiled and extended his hand.My fingers entwined with his, and once again, my emotions unfurled like a flag in a hurricane.For one brief moment, I ignored the pendulum of doubt swinging inside me and took refuge in his rugged arms.
“Whatever you need, Leagh, tell me.I’ll give it to you.”
Sadly, the one thing I needed, Tony could never give me; George.“If only it were that simple.There’s nothing you can do for me, Tony.What I need, no one can give.”
“What is it you need, Leagh?I’ll find a way to make it happen.”
“George alive, to keep me safe.”
“Awww, sweetheart.I can’t replace George, but you’ll always be safe with me,” Tony murmured against my ear.“Come on.Let’s get you in the shower.You’re shivering again.”
Tony meant well, but he didn’t know a thing about my past or how to protect me…let alone who I needed protection from.That was a whole other nightmare I had no desire to revisit.
Steam billowed over the glass enclosure like a fog machine.
“I think I can take it from here, thanks.”
“Right,” Tony nodded, grimly.“I’ll go find you some clothes.Take some time and relax.You’ll have plenty of hot water.”
I watched as he left, closing the door behind him.
Stepping beneath the spray of the shower, I closed my eyes and let the soothing heat melt the tension from my shoulders and neck.
I thought about all the reasons I shouldn’t let my guard down around Tony.Oil and water didn’t mix, no matter how fiercely you shook them up.I thought about Hayden and her disgusting threats, wondering what George would think of his darling daughter now.If he were still alive, she never would have done any of those things.Hayden would paint on her plastic smile and wrap him around her little finger, like she always did.
“Oh, George, if only you could have seen through her façade.”
The weight of the world lay heavy on my shoulders, and my insecure tears mingled with the water.Being alone again was scary, but not nearly as daunting as the loss of safety George had provided.
Without warning, the shower door opened, and Tony stepped inside.Naked.Erect.Gorgeous.I couldn’t help but stare at his chiseled body and turgid cock.
“What are you doing?”I squeaked, trying not to choke on the bubbling anxiety and hunger pumping through my veins.
“I’m going to take care of you, like I promised.Turn around.Let me wash your back,” Tony instructed as he reached for the shower gel and a loofah ball.
Unable to peel my gaze from his thick erection, I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to slide my palm around his swollen shaft.The distended veins and weeping broad crest were disturbingly inviting.My mouth watered, and I yearned to drop to my knees and taste the pearls of pre-come glistening on the tip.His cock jerked, as if reading my mind.
“We shouldn’t be doing this,” I protested as I struggled to suck the humid air into my lungs.
“We’re not doing anything, angel.I’m only here to shower you...take care of you.I’m not going to damage your fragile heart.”He bent forward and placed a sweet kiss on my forehead.
“Stop doing this to me,” I gasped.
