It has to, I tell myself more sternly.
Before I can second-guess myself and crawl back into bed, I turn toward the door and tiptoe out. With a heavy heart, I find my pants and panties, stopping in the bathroom to do a quick clean-up and throw my clothes on.
I see a pad of paper and a pen on the side table and consider leaving a note. What would I say to the man who changed my life forever? What words could possibly sum up everything I feel for him?
Shoving my feet into my shoes, I silently open the door and step out into the hallway, slumping against the wall once the door is closed. I take a few deep breaths, then push off the wall, heading to the lobby of the hotel where I wait for the Uber I just ordered.
Climbing into the back of the car, I give the hotel one last look before turning away. I already miss Gavin with every cell in my body.
SEVEN
Gavin
I wakeup surrounded by Pia’s scent, and I smile before I even open my eyes to check on her. God, last night was everything. Tasting her sweetness, lapping up her release, then sinking inside her tight little pussy… Jesus, if I wasn’t already obsessed with her, that would have done it.
Images of her smooth skin and supple body flash across my mind, and I focus on the curve of her waist, her hips as she rocks up and down, writhing on top of me like the goddess she is. Fuck, I’m hard as a goddamn fence post just thinking about it.
I’m already looking forward to waking up like this every day for the rest of my life as I roll onto my side and blink my eyes open.
My stomach lurches as I see that Pia’s side of the bed is empty. There’s a pillow wedged into my side right where my little girl should be. I reach my hand out to touch the sheets, like that might suddenly make her reappear. The sheets are cold, and I know that Pia has been gone for a long time.
Cursing under my breath, I throw the covers off and climb out of the bed. I can’t believe she left without waking me. I can’t believe I slept through her sneaking out. What was she thinking? Why would she leave?
Thoughts fly around my head like stray bullets, each one more painful than the last. I sit up, swinging my legs over the side of the bed and resting my elbows on my knees. Holding my head in my hands, I try to get myself under control enough to come up with a plan.
My girl is skittish, I know that much. She’s gone through a lot of loss in her life recently, and it shouldn’t surprise me that she freaked out after our intense encounter. Should I have told her I love her? It’s true, but I didn’t know if Pia was ready to hear it. Damned if I do, damned if I don’t, apparently.
I thought I made it clear we were forever, but I guess I’ll have to prove it to her over and over until she believes me. Or, I can just keep her weak with pleasure so she doesn’t have the strength to walk out on me ever again. We’ll have to discuss her disappearing act soon, but right now, I need to find my little trick rider.
Good thing I know exactly where she went. Pia doesn’t have a home or a family, so there’s only one place that she could have gone to.
That means that I’m headed back to the circus.
I tug on my clothes and grab my car keys. It’s a short ride across town to the grounds that the circus is being held on, and I park in the empty parking lot. It’s only a little after nine, and the circus won’t be open for another hour and a half.
Taking a deep breath, I try to get my heavy breathing under control. I can’t scare off my girl with my intensity, but fuck, Ihatedwaking up to an empty bed.
I make it up to the ticket booth, but there’s no one there and the gates are closed. I could try to scale it, but I doubt that I could find Pia before security was called.
I pace outside the gates, letting my mind go wild as I stalk back and forth like a caged tiger.
Why would she just leave like that? Why didn’t she say goodbye? Did I hurt her last night? Did she not feel this connection between us?
I don’t have answers to any of my questions and I won’t until I talk to her. I lean against the fence until a pretty girl enters the ticket booth. She seems shocked to see someone waiting to come inside already, but she sells me a ticket and lets me in the gates.
I make a beeline for the stable tent. I know that that’s where Pia will be. Penny is the only family she has left, and she obviously spends a lot of time with her. I have a feeling she’s talking things out with her best friend.
Ducking under the tent flap, I make sure no one is looking before I enter the tent and head down the aisle toward the horses.
“Ready for another show?” Pia whispers to Penny.
I smile as I hear her melodic voice. A memory of the way she screamed my name last night hits me, and my balls tighten at the memory of everything I did to her body.
“Me too,” Pia continues. “It’ll be a good distraction from…”
She trails off, and Penny huffs before stomping a hoof on the ground.
Pia sighs. “Yes, from Gavin,” she murmurs.
