Fuck. I bet it was so hot.

Fleetingly, I wonder what Reid would have thought if he’d have walked in on it. His best friend and his enemy bringing the girl he locked up in his basement to ruin.

With one more lingering look, I turn on my heels and hesitantly walk toward the bathroom.

Whenever he’s drawn the line between us before, I’ve backed away. Maybe it was the wrong thing to do, but it felt right.

But this time, I’m going to heed JD’s advice and take the bull by the horns… I’m not sure if I mean that literally or metaphorically, only time will tell.

Cracking the door open, I get hit in the face with a cloud of steam. My heart jumps into my throat and flutters erupt in my belly at the thought of him being naked in the shower.

Stepping into the room, I instantly find him standing in the stall with his palms on the tiles and his head hanging defeated between his shoulders as the water rains down on him. His chest rises and falls rapidly with his heaving breaths.

As I stand there watching him suffer, his pain becomes my own.

The last thing I’ve ever wanted to do is cause this incredible man to suffer. All he’s ever done is protect me, put me first, and above all else.

As much as I appreciate everything he’s done for me, it’s time for that to change. Someone needs to make him a priority for once. And I know exactly what he needs. Even if he thinks he doesn’t.

Dragging Reid’s tank from my body, I abandon it on the floor next to Mav’s clothes and step toward the shower.

My fists curl as my nerves begin to get the better of me. But I refuse to let them stop me.

He still has no idea I’ve joined him as I step into the shower and get sprayed with the water bouncing off his strong, inked back.

“Mav,” I whisper, needing to give him some kind of clue that I’m here.

But there’s no reaction. He’s too lost in his own head to hear or register anything.

Sucking in a calming breath, I step closer then place my hands on his sides and slide them around to his stomach.

He stills the second we collide, his muscles pulling taut.

“It’s just me,” I murmur as my hands begin to descend lower, but it’s too late.

I’m thrown against the wall with his unforgiving forearm pinning me in place.

“It’s me,” I gasp, my cheek burning from its collision with the tiles as my body fights to accept the coldness.

“Oh fuck,” he pants, instantly releasing me, allowing me to spin around.

He stares down at me, confusion and self-hatred swirling in his dark eyes, but I don’t focus on them, instead, I let my gaze drop.

Holy shit.

He’s big. Hard. So fucking hard it has to be painful. The head purple and desperate for—

“You shouldn’t be in here.” He growls.

“You’re wrong. I think I’m exactly where I need to be. Where you need me to be,” I correct.

His dick jerks at my words, as if it’s in full agreement.

I reach out, more than ready to feel him beneath my fingers, but before I make contact, he grabs my wrist, pinning it back against the tiles.

“Don’t.” He growls before ripping his eyes from mine in favor of the floor.

“Or what?” I taunt, more than prepared to fight for what I want. What he needs.
