“Something wrong, Bellezza?”

“I didn’t think you’d want me to do this yet?”

“What do you think this is? Some kind of courtship?”

“No, of course not.”

“Well, you said you’d do anything. This is what I want.” He stares back at me daringly, as if he’s testing me to see if I’m really going to do it.

I’m not going to let him faze me. I got myself into this, and there will be a way out. Somehow. I take a breath and reach for the hem of my blouse. I then pretend he’s not standing in front of me and take it off.

I tackle my jeans next and step out of those, leaving just my bra and panties on. His eyes rake boldly over my body, and I wish like hell I felt nothing, but his lust-filled gaze is so strong it’s like it actually touches me.

“Bra and panties off too,” he says.

Again, I swallow and breathe slower. I start with my bra by snapping open the little clasp holding it together across my back. As I move it away, my breasts pour out, free from the restraint holding them together.

His eyes go straight to my breasts, and I look away.

I slide my panties down my legs and step out of them.

I’m naked now. Naked before him, showing him what’s on offer, and I can’t look at him.

“Look at me,” he says as if reading my thoughts.

I lift my head gingerly and meet his hungry gaze. His eyes eat me up and burn my skin everywhere it touches.

“Turn around, slowly,” he commands, and I do as he says. I turn slowly, lingering with my back turned to him as I face the wall, and in those few seconds, I allow myself the respite from his predatory gaze.

It’s just a few seconds, just seconds until I turn to face him again. This time though, as I stare at him, I notice he’s looking at me the way he was last night, when our eyes first locked.

Something stirred inside me. I’m not sure what it was, but it was like he saw something inside me that must have come out in my desperation.

Just like last night though, the trance is broken within moments.

It’s as though neither of us can stand it.

What is it?

I pray it’s not that he’s intuitive. I hope it’s not that he’s one of those people who can look at you and see right through you into the deep end and see you had to fight through shit to come out on top. I won’t allow anyone to see that part of me. It’s locked away so deep inside me that not even I can reach it, and I don’t want to.

He steps forward, and instinct makes me move back. I’m already close to the wall so I couldn’t have retreated any further than the one step.

“You…. you haven’t asked me once if I intend to hurt you. You’re so worried about your father, you haven’t thought what I might do to you.”

“I don’t want you to kill him,” I answer. I thought that was a given.

“But you’re not worried I may hurt you? Do you think I won’t?”

A chill runs through me, and I look at him, really look at him. The answer is, I don’t know him so there’s no way I can give him an actual answer to that question.

I’m so protective and worried about Dad that I’ve only thought of him. Things quickly escalated to this stage, and I’ve been so worried that my own safety was the last thing on my mind.

“I don’t… I don’t know,” I answer, just to give an answer, and his smile turns sensual.

Closer he comes, and closer, until he rests his hands on the wall on either side of me. He leans right in, so close, too close. So close I see the lighter hue of his eyes while he stares into mine.

“Interesting….” he breathes, and his breath smooths over my skin like a gentle caress. It’s striking for the tenderness in comparison to the formidable force he is.
