I need this woman. Every aspect of her. I want it all.

“You’re gorgeous, Cassie.” Unable to pull myself from her watchful eyes, I inhale her essence and absorb her untamed beauty. “Let me show you how you make me feel.”

I fan the pad of my thumb over her soft clit.

Her body trembles. Her eyes widen.

“Yes.” I feather her receptive nub. “You feel that? This is how you make me feel.”

I lower my head and latch my mouth around her erect, pink-tipped nipple as I fuck her with my fingers and play with her clit, teasing and taunting my cock. I touch her just as I desperately desire to be touched by her until she thrashes beneath me and cries out with pleasure.

I do it until I hear the blinding sounds of her glorious orgasm.

Her body convulses beneath my touch.

I’m so hard. So ready. I want her right here. Right now. I can’t wait any longer.

“S-Stop!” She pushes me. “Stop! Stop!”

I freeze. My eyes snap to hers.

And I see it.

Fear.

“Okay.” I slowly withdraw from her body as my cock retracts. “It’s okay.” I raise my hands and take a step back. “You’re safe.”

Eyes staring at the floor, she pulls her dress up over her tit. She sinks against the wall. “I’m sorry,” she whispers to the floor.

“Fuck, Cassie.” I clench my fists. I look up at the ceiling, regaining my control. “It’s okay.” I blow out and look down at her. “You’re just not ready.”

“Yes.” She takes a deep breath and lifts her chin, meeting my lowering eyes. “I am.”

Her determined eyes connect with mine.

“Your body might be, but your brain is not.” I shake my head. “This isn’t going to work.”

“Wait!” She holds up a hand. “It will! I don’t know what happened. I was fine, and then—”

“You need to come to terms with what he did to you.” I rush a hand through my hair. “He blindsided you. You trusted him, and he hurt you.”

“I’m fine!” She stands up straight.

“Listen, I know you’re a strong woman. Fuck, it’s one of the things that draws me to you. But, sweetheart, no matter how much you try to convince yourself, you’ll never be the woman you were before him.”

“I told you. He will not define me!”

“No.” I exhale, wanting to reach out to her but remain a safe distance away. “That’s not what I’m saying.”

“It wasn’t my fault.”

“Oh, God. Cassie, I know.” I chance it and take a step toward her. “You’re trying to push this, and you don’t really know me. Of course, you’re going to be hesitant. It’s a normal reaction.”

She doesn’t flinch. I reach out and tuck a few strands of her hair behind her ear. Not pushing it, I drop my hand back down. “Bastards like him, that’s what they do. They like to make you feel weak.” I study her. “It’s just that if you continue to ignore that he took something from you, he will win if you don’t acknowledge it. He will take your power from you as well.”

Her face hardens. “I went to counseling. I dealt with it.” Her hands fly in the air. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I wanted this. I want you.”

“It’s okay,” I say in a low, calm voice. “You need to learn to trust again.”
