“Red,” I groan, demanding she finish her thought.
“You really want me? Even after everything you’ve seen me do.”
Pulling back, I look into her eyes. They’re full of unshed tears, but again, they’re not sadness, more… disbelief, I guess.
“Yeah, like you wouldn’t believe,” I confess before doing the right thing and releasing her in favour of pulling my boxers back on.
“Get dressed,” I demand. “I’m taking you out. It’s time to get out of this place for a bit.”
“Where are we going?” she asks, watching me a little too closely.
“Somewhere we can just be us. Elliot and Abigail. A place where no one knows who we are.”
Her face lights up at the thought.
“Get dressed, Red,” I say reluctantly as I drop my eyes down her body.
I desperately want to reach out and peel it from her. I want to see what she’s hiding beneath. I can’t right now. I know it’ll be a step too far. But one day.
One day soon I’m going to strip her naked and have her laid out waiting for me.
But until then, I’m going to give her a day she’ll never forget.

ABIGAIL
I’ve been in Elliot’s Aston Martin before, but this feels different.
He’s taking me out.
Me.
After letting me touch him in a way I’ve only dreamed about.
Watching him come undone like that, knowing that it was all because of me, was one of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen.
“Where are we going?” I ask, breaking the thick silence.
I’d be worried that regrets asking me to spend the day with him except he hasn’t let my hand go since we got in the car.
“Somewhere off the grid.”
“Sounds ominous.”
“Scared, Red?” He flashes me a playful grin. And I love it.
I love that I get to see this side of him.
“With you, never.”
Elliot focuses back on the quiet country lane, but I catch the flicker of doubt in his eyes.
A weary sigh escapes me. Even after everything we shared last night and this morning, he’s still guarded. But maybe getting away from Saints Cross for a little bit will give me a chance to uncover the mystery that is Elliot Eaton.
Like why he hesitated when I tried to go down on him this morning. Or the flash of panic in his eyes when I returned with some tissue to clean him up.
He thinks I didn’t notice, but I did.
