“She was always satisfied. Liam is driven by sex, and I’m driven by emotions. Do you have any idea what it’s like to be with a person who is having all their needs met? It’s incredible.”
I can see her wheels spinning. “So wait, if she was so satisfied, why is it over?”
“Truthfully, Liam wasn’t ready yet. Back then he was a lot more broken than he is now. I was thinking the whole process would take the pressure off of him to grow back into a person who could love again. He got his needs met, and I carried the emotional side of things.”
“I guess it wasn’t enough.”
“It was a learning experience for everyone. When we look back on it, it was like any relationship. They take work. She was into it for a while, but when she couldn’t get Liam to emotionally invest, she pulled away.”
“Right.” Beth says the words with a waver in her tone. “Anyway… none of this matters because I’m not having a polyamorous relationship. I’m not leaving my fiancé, and I’m not pursuing anything with my kidnapper. So…”
“Sometimes, your body tells you what you need. You shouldn’t completely ignore that.”
“And the man that I’m currently engaged to? Should Iignorehim in favor of whatever whim I’m currently feeling?”
I shake my head. “No. You shouldn’t. You should be honest with him. Maybe he’d understand.”
She laughs, then adapts a mocking tone as she says, “Honey, I love you. You know I love you, but I’m going to need to fuck this other man. You’re welcome to watch.”
“Woah! You’re the one that said watch. I was just offering up some options.” I hold back a smile and tip my coffee back again.
Liam clears his throat at the entrance to the kitchen. How the fuck long has he been standing there? For a big man, he’s quiet.
“Someone is at the door for you Beth. Turns out the pussy has more spine than I gave him credit for.”
She looks toward me with something that I can’t define. I doubt its disappointment, but it’s not excitement either. Standing from the stool, she makes her way toward the hallway, but Liam stops her before she can leave.
His giant body backs her up against the wall of the kitchen. He places his hand over her head, and he leans in. “Before you go back out there and get all confused by what you think you have with that man… I want you to tell me what I just heard you say to Dex.” His voice is low and graveled.
“Leave her alone, Liam. She’s stressed. She doesn’t know what she’s saying.”
He turns back and scowls, letting me know how out of line I am.
I should’ve known better than to think he wasn’t skulking around. That’s probably why he left the room in the first place.
Breathless, she says, “If you know what I said, why do you need to hear it again?”
He growls low under his breath and leans into her ear. “Because I want you to look me in the eye and say it.”
“No! Why? Let me go! I’m sure Bryan is—”
“Say it, princess. Tell me you need me to eat that little cunt and fuck you while he watches.”
She’s panting so hard I can see her chest rising and falling from here. Sparks fly between them. They’re like lightbulbs, overwhelmed with electricity, about to burst.
“Fine!” she blurts. “Do you want to hear how this, right here, turns me on? How sick it is that my pussy is drenched when you’re growling in my ear? Do you want to hear that I’d pay money to know what it’s like to disappear in your arms?” A tear streams down her face.
Liam grins and pushes a strand of hair from Beth’s vision. “Good girl, princess. Now go tell Bryan what you need, or I will.”
Chapter Five
Beth
I’ve never burned with so much desire in my life. My thighs are shaking, my knees are weak, and there’s an audible boom in my chest cavity that wasn’t there a week ago. And even in the crass haste of Liam demanding I tell Bryan what I need, I still want him. Maybe even more.
Liam Wilde is resoundingly masculine, blunt, and unapologetic. And he’s right, I want to be lost with him. So much so that when Bryan opens his arms toward me, actual pain resonates in my chest. I can’t imagine leaving Liam… not yet.
Bryan’s hands are shaking. “Are you okay? Did they hurt you?”
