He had not shamed her past the point of all enjoyment.
But she couldn’t... She could not believe that she haddonethat. That she had let him spin a story that had created such a deep arousal in her that she had responded without ever...
And she supposed, that was the point of it. The lesson. Proof that she was much more naïve than she cared to admit. Much more naïve than she thought.
Yes. She supposed that was the point. He had effectively used his experience against her.
But she was not going to weep. No. She was too strong for that.
He might think that he had gotten the upper hand. But he...
He had felt something. She was sure of it. He hadn’t planned that. It had just... Happened. She was nearly almost entirely certain.
She needed to believe that. Because otherwise... Otherwise, he was in much greater control of all this than she was.
Does that surprise you? You don’t know anything about men. You don’t know anything about life.
That wasn’t true. She knew about life. She knew about what she wanted. She knew that he... That he called to her.
She could talk about the hands of guards at the compound all she wanted, and she enjoyed it, because she could see that it put him on his back foot. But none of them would have ever been able to bring her to orgasm simply by speaking.
She hadtouchedherself in front of him.
Through her clothes, but the fact remained that she had done so.
She felt scalded by that.
And yet...
It had certainly been one of the more adventurous things she had ever done.
In some ways, she was proud of herself.
Because she felt as if it could only have ever been them. She was a replacement for nothing, in fact he was actively trying to resist this, which made her feel like it could only be here creating this need, and bringing him to the edge.
They arrived at the London penthouse, equally glorious to the one in Paris, with a fantastic view of the Shard.
She knew that she should be soaking in the iconic nature of the view, but the only thing that felt iconic to her was Cameron.
She felt slightly nervous at the idea of meeting Apollo tonight.
Apollo was Cameron’s only friend.
Except for her. She would not allow him to diminish the connection between them. They were friends.
Friends who had... Who had had a very charged sexual encounter this morning.
There was chemistry between them. She was clear on that.
He was the one who seemed to take issue with it.
It was tied up in him, in his own baggage, she knew that. But that didn’t make it any easier to try and sort through it all.
She hadn’t asked for this. She had wanted freedom. She had gone and gotten herself tangled up in possibly the most damaged man on the planet.
But he was a good man. She was sure of that.
That was... There was that at least.
