“Yes, I do. But I’m still not going. If it makes you happy, I’ll stay at your place while you’re gone. No one knows where you live. I never mentioned it, not even to Brenda. We need to compromise, remember?”
Chase squeezes me harder and after a few minutes, he says. “Okay. I’m not entirely happy, but I know you’ll be safe here.” He kisses the top of my head, ending the conversation.
I haven’t been in my apartment in days. Using my new key card, I walk in to the scent of Stargazer lilies, my favorite flower. Sitting on the kitchen island is a vase filled with them. The apartment has been scrubbed clean, from top to bottom while I was staying with Chase.
Standing in the living room, I feel strangely detached from my surroundings. I’m still slightly freaked out by what happened, but Chase promises I’m safe.
Walking into the bedroom, I stare at the drawer that caused this mess. I walk over and gently slide it open, hoping I won’t relive that night. To my surprise, it’s full. Chase had all of my undergarments replaced. My sweet boy. His thoughtfulness makes me smile. I send him a quick text.
Liv: Thank you
I get an immediate response.
Chase: For what?
Liv: For being you
Chase is leaving for Italy soon and he wants to spend every waking moment with me. I’ve been at his place every night since the break-in; he only leaves my side for work. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s going away or protecting me.
Early Saturday morning, exactly one week before Chase is scheduled to leave, he wakes me.
“Olivia,” he whispers in my ear.
“Hmm.”
“Baby, wake up. I have a surprise for you.”
“Hmm.” Chase is lying with his front to my back, his arms tight around me, and I don’t want to move.
“C’mon, before the day gets away from us.”
“What time is it?” I groan.
“Five-thirty in the morning.”
“What could you possibly have planned at this god forsaken hour? This is way too early to be getting up,” I complain. He starts nibbling on my ear. A low moan escapes my throat, and he chuckles.“Five more minutes,” I mumble, half asleep.
“No, baby. We need to get out of bed. There are no surprises here today.” He rolls me over so I am on my back, but I keep my eyes closed.
“Don’t make me do it,” he warns. The bed dips as he moves off it and I stay right where I am.
I must have fallen back asleep because the next thing I know, I’m in his arms being carried across the room. Before I can open my eyes, he walks me fully clothed into a very cold shower. My eyes shoot open, and I shout, “Are you fucking kidding me! Again! Chase, what are you doing? Ahhh!”
“I warned you,” he says, holding me against his chest under the ice cold water.
“Let me go!” I screech. Chase puts me down and turns off the water.
“Are you awake now?” His lips tip up in a sly smile, his eyes full of mischief.
“Yes,” I pout.
“Good. Now, finish your shower. We have places to be.”
“Are you going to join me?”
“Oh, no you don’t,” he scolds, smiling. “I am on a tight schedule, and this,” he says, motioning to his hard cock, “is no longer an option.” I give him my sad puppy-dog eyes, but it isn’t working. “You have fifteen minutes. Use your time wisely.”
“Fifteen minutes, are you kidding?”
