“Boss doesn’t see it the same way. Anyway, this was a courtesy call,” said Maurice.
“For what exactly?”
“Boss knows about your plaything. He doesn’t like secrets.”
Chapter Nine
Lori rolled over and moaned. Her body felt so incredibly sore, and it wasn’t in a bad way either. Recalling the way Chains had taken her, it made her all warm inside. Opening her eyes, she reached out only to find the bed cold. Frowning, she glanced over at his side of the bed, and he wasn’t there.
She sat up and glanced around the room, and hated that he wasn’t there. For a long time when she was home with her family, she craved sitting at home all alone, just to have a few moments to herself.
Right now, she felt lonely. She hated feeling that. Tucking her hair behind her ears, she tried to listen for any sign of him. Chains wouldn’t abandon her here.
Pushing the sheets off her, she made her way through to the bedroom. Dealing with her morning routine, she decided to take a quick bath. While the water ran, she stared at her reflection in the mirror, surprised by how different she looked. She didn
’t recognize herself. Pursing her lips, she wondered if she felt any differently.
She didn’t look away from her curves like she once did. Instead, she turned this way and that, seeing her red breasts from Chains’s loving, and also the bruises from his touch on her hips. Her lips even felt a little swollen from his kisses.
Once the bath was full, she tested the temperature. She’d already put in some bubbles, so she climbed into the tub, easing back, and closing her eyes, basking in the joy of being in the water. The warmth eased some of the soreness. It was nice to just relax.
Seconds passed, maybe even minutes, before she felt him.
Opening her eyes, she saw him completely dressed, arms folded, leaning against the doorframe. Heat filled her cheeks as she remembered the passion he’d shown her last night.
“Morning,” she said.
“How are you feeling today?” he asked.
“I’m okay.”
He moved toward the toilet, and she didn’t like how pensive he seemed to look. Not that she could read Chains very well. He always kept to himself, and she was no mind reader.
“You’re not sore?”
“Why weren’t you in bed?” she asked instead.
“Are you sore?”
She glared at him. “I’m fine. Why weren’t you in bed?” When he made to speak she interrupted him. “I answered two of your questions. The least you can do is answer one of mine. It’s the nice and polite thing to do.”
“You gave me your virginity last night.”
“I remember. I was there.”
“Yeah, and now it’s the morning.”
“So?” She stared at him hoping that he’d give her something other than the blank stare. “What is all this about, Chains?”
“Women have a tendency to make decisions they regret.”
“So do men.”
He chuckled. “Losing your virginity is not as big a deal for men as it is for women.”
She rolled her eyes. “You think I’m going to regret what we shared together?”
“There’s a chance. I wouldn’t be upset with you if you did.”
