“It’s about four-thirty,” Nick replied, easing onto the edge of the bed.His long hair spilled over his shoulders like an inky veil.I wanted to reach out and touch it…rub the blue-black strands between my fingers to see if they were as soft as they looked.
“How’s your headache?”
“It’s gone, but I’m loopy, and my throat’s so dry it feels like sand.”
“Hang tight.I’ll get you some water.”
As he stood and walked to the bathroom, I gingerly sat up.When the sheet slid down my body and pooled at my waist, I realized I was totally naked.With a gasp, my cheeks caught fire.I quickly yanked the bedding to my throat as Nick swaggered back into the room.
“Who the fuck undressed me?”I barked, embarrassment blazing through my veins.
He narrowed his eyes and scowled.“Seems I should have grabbed the soap so I could wash out your filthy mouth, little one.”
“Dream on.You’ll need a court order to do that,” I bit out.
“Will I now?”he challenged.“Dylan and I undressed you.We also washed the blood off your foot, ran your clothes up to Kit, who’s trying to get the stains out as we speak.Oh, and your shoe is in the dumpster out back.It was beyond saving.”
With a disapproving frown, he thrust the glass toward me.Waves of guilt rolled through me as I took it and pressed the rim to my lips.Ignoring his stern expression, I guzzled the cool water while my throat basked in relief.I owed Nick an apology, but I was hard-pressed to actually say the words.It didn’t matter that I’d been whacked out on pain meds.The fact that two men, twostrangers, had stripped me naked was unsettling.Knowing they’d seen every imperfection on my body was humiliating.The realization they could have touched and fondled me—not that I would have mindedifI’d been awake—only added fuel to my embarrassment.
As if he’d read my mind, a flash of disappointment zipped across Nick’s eyes.
Another wave of guilt—for thinking them so deviant—crested through me.They were Dominants, not rapists.Taking indecent liberties with me while I was unconscious went against the BDSM code ofsafe, sane, and consensual.
Still, I couldn’t get past the mortification of knowing they’d seen me naked.
No one but my doctor—who supplied me with a flimsy cotton gown—had seen me nude since puberty.Back in college, I couldn’t muster the courage to take my clothes off or leave the lights on the two times I’d had clumsy, disappointing sex.
Holding me with a penetrating stare, Nick crossed his arms over his chest.The stance made him appear even more Dominant, forceful, and intimidatingly delicious.
“We’re adults, Savannah.You’re not the first woman Dylan and I have seen naked.”
“I know.I’m sorry.I don’t mean to sound ungrateful for everything you two have done for me.It’s just…I didn’t expect to wake upnaked.”
“Do you honestly believe we undressed you with sexual intent?”
“No.”
“Good, because we didn’t.Trust me, little one.When it comes time for us to explore your wicked body, you’ll be wide wake for every touch, kiss, and caress.”
My heart rate tripled.
My throat went dry again.
“Which brings me back to the question I asked you earlier.How long have you been in the lifestyle?”
Instead of confessing I had zero experience, I mulishly pressed my lips together.
Nick frowned.“Why do you do that?”
“What?”
“Pull up walls and hang out a ‘no trespassing’ sign the minute you realize you’re not in control?”He leaned down and stroked a warm finger along my jaw.“Letting go, especially for someone like you, is an amazing experience.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I lied, as I jerked back and set the empty glass on the nightstand with a heavy thud.
“Yes, you do.”
“I hate to burst your bubble, pal, but I’m not a submissive.I’m a strong-willed woman who’s always in control.”
