The water flows over the two of us, rinsing the ash from her skin. I gently tilt her head back to wash her hair and let my hand run across her. She leans into my touch just enough for me to notice, and I realize she’s still in there. Somewhere, in spite of whatever happened, she’s fighting the terror she’s dealing with.

“Tessa, talk to me.”

Finally, her gaze meets mine, and my breath hitches at the torment you can see in those honey eyes. A sob rips through her, tears quickly flowing down her face. Her hand moves to grasp her chest, and I instantly fear the worst.

“What’s wrong? Can you breathe? Should I bring you to the hospital?”

She shakes her head as she cries. “It just hurts.”

“What? What hurts?”

Leaning back against the tile, she’s visibly breaking right in front of me. This girl has always been nothing but pure confidence, all fearless and brave, but right now, she’s human. Her head tips to the side, and she looks at me with labored breathing.

“Everything.”

I take her hands in my own. “What can I do? What do you need?”

“Make it stop.” More tears leak out as her grip tightens. “Please, Asher. Make me forget. I need you to distract me. I need you to take the pain away.”

Taking a step closer, I pin her hands to the wall and cage her in. My subconscious is full of flashing red lights, screaming for me to run. She’s weak. She’s vulnerable. She’s not in her right mind. But all I can focus on is the fact that she’s hurting, and she needs me.

I press my lips to hers and she arches into me, skin against skin. Pulling away for a second, I stare deep into her eyes for any indication that this isn’t what she wants but find none. All I can see is the painstaking need for relief, and fuck if I’m not going to give it to her.

“Are you sure?”

She exhales. “Please.”

Between the anguish in her plea and the way she pulls her bottom lip between her teeth, my resolve snaps, and I’m heading full force into everything I swore I wouldn’t do.

Our mouths collide in a kiss that’s both needy and passionate as sin. I release her hand and move to hold her face while her nails dig into my shoulder blades. The water hits against my back in a warm stream but everything else is on fire. Now that I know I’m allowing myself to give in, every ounce of my focus is zeroed in on her.

“I’ve got you,” I tell her softly.

She lets out a whimper that nearly rips me apart. I slide my hands down until I’m cupping her breasts. Her nipples harden to points the instant they register my touch, and I roll them between my fingertips. Tessa moans as I lightly suck one into my mouth while still teasing the other.

“Asher,” she breathes, and my name sounds like a prayer slipping from her lips.

I reach over and turn off the water before scooping her into my arms. Her legs wrap around my waist, rubbing her pussy over my erection in ways that threaten to have me coming undone like some kind of virgin. We’re both dripping wet as I carry her out of the bathroom and lower her onto my bed.

She looks like a goddess, all splayed out and waiting for me. She watches me with desire pooling in her eyes, and the only thing I want is to make her scream out in pleasure. With my hands on her knees, I spread her legs apart to show me that delicious center of hers. How did I ever deny myself of this?

“Fuck, Tess.”

She grips the bedsheets, desperate for my touch, and I’m more than willing to give it to her. I run two fingers over her sex. She’s already so wet, and her body squirms at the contact. Bending down, I slip the two digits inside of her and run my tongue over her clit. The sounds she lets out are borderline animalistic and make me want to hear more of them. So much more.

Her fingers lace into my hair as I suck on the little bundle of nerves. My fingers rub against her G-spot, and I can tell by the way her grip tightens that she’s going to come undone in record time.

“That’s it, baby. Just like that.”

I look up at her, and seeing the way her back is arched and she’s biting her fist—it’s everything. With a couple more flicks of my tongue, she screams out, and I feel as she clenches around my fingers. I keep going, not even slowing my movements until she stops convulsing. Then, I pull them out and raise to my feet.

“Please don’t stop,” she begs.

The corner of my mouth raises into a smirk. “I didn’t plan on it.”

Grabbing a condom from the nightstand, I slip it on and move until I’m hovering over her. My gaze meets hers, and I pause to give her every opportunity to back out. All she needs to do is say the word and I’ll stop. It would fucking suck, but everything would end that instant. However, given the look in her eyes, she has no intentions of saying anything but go.

I line myself up and sink inside of her, loving the way her walls feel around me. Her nails scratch down my back as she arches her hips up to meet me. The way she craves every single inch of my cock—like it’s somehow healing her—it’s raw, and passionate, and real.
