“Can I explain myself—”
“No. Now answer my question.”
“Is this how you talk to your other lovers?”
His eyes flicked back and forth between mine. “I don’t know. There’s never been anyone else.”
My eyes mirrored his. “Then…who were they?”
“Whores. One-night stands. Women whose names I don’t remember.”
So this was just as new for him as it was for me. “Can I say something—”
“The conversation is over, Laura.”
“Goddammit, let me talk!”
Despite my loud outburst, he remained still. Only his eyes moved.
“I’m sorry. I just wanted you to know that…”
His eyes finally dropped their hostility. He was still guarded, but he wasn’t an angry bull anymore.
“You were right. It was disrespectful to you. I wouldn’t like it if some woman asked you to be her date to get back at her ex…or just wanted your company…or whatever the reason may be.”
Now he didn’t interrupt me.
“At the end of the night, he tried to kiss me. I felt so stupid.”
Instead of exploding in a blind rage, his expression hadn’t changed.
“I think he was just drunk and depressed and didn’t mean it…but still.”
He remained quiet.
“I doubt he even remembered it the next day.”
“Is he still your client?”
“I haven’t let him go yet. If he contacts me, I’ll tell him. But I’m hoping he’s too embarrassed to say anything.”
He was closed off and quiet, regarding me from the distance he’d put between us.
“I really missed you…” The hurt escaped my voice this time because there was no anger to mask it. “When you ghosted me…I was devastated.” I felt like I’d lost a piece of myself. Something substantial. Like my heart or my soul.
“I wish I could say the same—but I was too angry.”
“Are you…still angry?” There were only a few steps between us, but it felt like miles. A yearning burned in my chest, a need I’d never felt before in my life. I could have counted my blessings that this drug lord was finally out of my life—but I didn’t feel that way in the least.
After a stretch of silence, he moved toward me, his heat and scent coming closer, close enough for me to feel and smell. When his hand cupped my face and directed my lips toward him, I felt my legs turn to jelly. The gnawing started in my stomach, the tightness that formed before my body released in a swell of pleasure.
He kissed me.
It started off slow, an introduction between our mouths, but that didn’t last long. Soon, his fingers were deep in my hair and his kiss turned ravenous. His arm secured itself around my back, and he pulled me flush against his body, wanting me to feel howunangryhe was.
All the wanting and all the waiting…was finally over.
As he guided me backward to the bed, pieces of clothing left his body. His shirt disappeared, and my hands got to explore his chest. His boots were kicked aside, and then his jeans were torn off. Soon, I had his throbbing dick in my hand, and my thumb caught a drop that oozed from the tip.
