My beast is here, lurking. Waiting to strike. Zoe isn’t ready for that. Not after Dirty Diamonds. Not after all the crap I’ve pulled on her.
I slam the door behind me, hardly feeling the pain from my shoulder with how angry I am, and I head straight into the shower and turn the water on.
The ice cold water is like the stabbing of needles, before it starts to warm as I brace my hands on the tiles, my head sagging forward while the water works its magic.
“Can I come in?” Zoe’s voice makes me stiffen, and I want to scream at her to run the fuck away, but I’m too fucking selfish to do that. I want to keep her. I want her close.
“If you come in here, you’d better be prepared to ask for my dick, Princess. Because I’m going to fuck you. Hard. Really fucking hard.”
“There he is. The Grayson Black I know.” She remarks, stepping into the cubicle and ducking under my arms before leaning back against the tiles in the spray of water.
“That’s only a version of me, Princess. I just tried to show you another version, and you fucking laughed.”
Sighing, Zoe reaches up and runs the tip of her finger over my lips. “I’m not dumb enough to fall for your traps again. Besides, a guy like you doesn’t do real anything. You don’tdorelationships. You don’tdofeelings. And you don’tdocommitment.” She shrugs, like it’s no big deal. “I understand exactly who you are, Grayson. There’s no need to play these games.”
I growl again, my top lip curling as I lean in closer.
“Ask for my cock.”
With a sexy as sin smirk, she shakes her head. “Not gonna happen.”
“I dare you,” I challenge, and her brows shoot up. “I dare you to ask for my cock.”
“And I dare you to not be an ass for a single day, but we both know that’s not going to happen.”
This time it’smybrows shooting up and I’m left to watch as she shoves me away from the water and proceeds to clean the last remnants of my cum from her skin.
As I watch her take over my shower, my fingers find their way to the soft skin of her hip, and I trail them over her curves before stepping forward and pressing my front flush to her back.
“We need to go back tomorrow.” I rasp against her ear, and she stiffens.
“To Santa Cruz?” she asks, and I nod, nipping her ear.
“Yes, Princess. I need to get back to the club. Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, and there’s a club tradition at noon I need to be back for.”
Slowly, she nods before relaxing back against me.
“Is there any chance we can just stay here?” she whispers, almost like she’s too scared to ask because she already knows the answer.
“We can come back soon. I promise.”
I don’t know how to make Zoe understand what I’ve been trying to tell her over the last few days. About how I really feel. Maybe because I don’t understand it myself, but fuck, I’ll find a way.
In time.
And yeah, I know taunting her with my cock probably isn’t the best idea, but I am still fucking Grayson Black, and that side of me, even though she fights it, is something that draws her to me.
Perhaps time is exactly what we need. Time. Actions. Understanding. My words aren’t enough. They can be twisted into lies that are so much fucking easier to say rather than dealing with the real shit.
So, as I circle my arm around her waist and press my lips to the column of her neck, I know that’s exactly what I’ll do. I’ll keep trying every fucking day to show Zoe what it is that I don’t know how to fucking say and make her believe. Eventually, she’ll see. She’ll understand. And by that time, she’ll know she’s mine, just as much as I am hers.
Zoe
AsweleaveGrayson’scabin, Nirvana, I can’t help snorting at the name. It’s doubtful that someone like him even knows the meaning of the word.
While I’ll never claim to be an expert, I know it’s something to do with Buddhism. Their version of the afterlife, or something like that. But I do know it’s meant to be a place without suffering or desire, which is beyond ironic considering how we’ve spent our time here.
I don’t tell him that a part of me doesn’t want to leave this place. I’m not proud to admit that despite everything, I’ve enjoyed my time here. Being alone with Grayson has been… nice, kind of. With no outside interruptions, he’s let his guard down. Fuck, he’s even told a joke or two.
