He slides his thumbs into the front of my underwear and around to my hips, pulling them down while still looking at my face.
“Let me look after you,” I whisper, desperate to smother him in affection before we resort to sex.
My panties pool at my feet.
I swallow as he steps closer, sliding my hair off my shoulders with the backs of his hands. The head of his cock slides through my pussy, and I shiver as I coat him in my excitement.
His body bends slightly, trembling as he brings his mouth in line with my ear. So gentle. “You’re fucking perfect, you know that?” He lifts one of my legs around his waist. “I don’t possess the patience it would take to have these hands on my body and not have you wrapped around my cock, Scarlet. You’ll let me fuck you, and then you can do whatever it is you have planned, okay?”
He shifts his hips, lifting me slightly so he can sink into my pussy.
He feels too good to deny, and I give in within an instant, hoping it’s what he needs. What he really needs.
I wrap my arms around his broad shoulders and lift my other leg, climbing his tall frame.
He groans as he slides even deeper into me.
“Fuck.”
“My dad bought me a dog for my tenth birthday.”
I close my eyes as the rasp in his voice flits through me. His arms wrap tighter around me, and I relax further into his chest.
We’re lying in the steaming hot bath, our bodies spent as they bathe in a tangle.
I’m not sure I’ve ever felt as content as I do in this moment.
“I’d been begging for months, and they kept saying no. It was the only thing I ever asked them for. Dad was working nonstop at the time, and the girls were all so different… I was growing up, and we weren’t what we once were when we were young. It wasn’t until I got in trouble at school that Dad eventually caved and got me Ted. I was so fucking excited. I walked him every day. Would stay out on the playing fields for hours until Dad got home. He’d sleep in my bed and follow me everywhere around the house. Dad knew it was a distraction for me and what I needed. I thought everything would be different after that.”
My brows furrow and I open my eyes. “It wasn’t?”
“I came home from school about a month after I got him, and he was gone. Mum said he went for Molly and that he was dangerous.”
“What? He was a puppy still?”
“Yeah,” he says with a bitter laugh. “She told me last week she was getting Bear, and I snapped.”
I can tell he wants to say more, but he’s gone quiet on me. I tilt my head and look up at him, sorrow in my eyes. “I’m sorry.”
His jaw works beneath his short beard. “Ted was a lab.”
“What?” I snap. “Why would she do that?” I ask, sitting up.
What the hell is her problem?
Lance pulls me back to him, kissing the top of my head and tucking me tight to his chest. “I’m not surprised by it, Scarlet. She’s been like that for years. I just never wanted to see it before.”
I take a deep breath in and let it out again.
Lance’s mouth dusts my ear. “You’re angry?”
“Yes, I’m angry. The way they treated you today and then what you’ve just told me.” They’re fucking assholes. “I don’t like it, Lance. At all. I think I hate them right now.”
“Forget about them. I shouldn’t have brought up Ted.”
I shake my head, pulling his arms tighter around me again. “I want to know….”Everything, I nearly say, but I don’t. I let the words die off, hoping he doesn’t notice.
His lips settle against my temple, and my eyes close, wondering how in such a short space of time, someone can become like a second skin. He’s wrapped himself around me like one of my favourite jumpers, silently promising to protect us from the elements.
