"We can have something sent up to the room later. As for now, I've been looking at you in that dress all night, imaginingthe moment I can strip you out of it. I think I've waited long enough."

I swallow. "Me too."

Chapter 10

Each step from the restaurant to the elevator is hard, because each one makes my thighs rub together. Makes me that much more aware of just how sensitive my clit has become over dinner. Makes me that much more needy. Law's hand going to my lower back as we walk definitely doesn't help that in the least. I try to fight the shiver from racing through me, but then his damn thumb strokes my back, and I lose the battle. His dark chuckle tells me he doesn't miss it.

We stand in front of the elevator, waiting for the doors to open, and although I tell myself not to look at him in its reflection, my traitorous eyes raise anyway. I find him watching me, his thumb on his lower lip as his eyes go up and down my body. His look makes me swallow as the doors open and we step inside.

"What?" I ask when he smiles.

"Last time we were in an elevator together it was to agree to all of this."

I chuckle. "I can definitely tell you I had no idea what to expect."

"And now?"

"Hmm?"

"What do you expect when you meet me now?"

"Sex. Orgasms. Filthy words and bruising marks."

"And what else do you want?"

I still at his question. It feels, so very much, like he's asking if I want more, not just when we meet on Saturdays, but from him. But I can't be sure. So I can't answer because the fear in me is afraid I'm reading too much into his words.

His eyes narrow on me. "I already told you that silence is a lie, Sophie."

"I... I don't know exactly what you mean, so I don't know exactly how to answer."

It's as honest as I can be. The doors to the elevator open, and I feel saved, for the moment, as he gestures for me to walk ahead of him out into the hallway. We reach the room and Law has to scan a code on the door with his phone for it to open. What the hell kind of place is this?

That question only rings through my mind ten times louder as I get my first look at the room.

He was right. This room is better than a room with a hot tub in it, because it has a damn pool at the other end of it, with a damn waterfall between the part of the pool that's inside, and the part that's outside, on a ledge. My mouth hangs open as I look to the left, where a bedroom with glass walls is, and to the right where there's a sauna, and of course, also a hot tub.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" he questions. "Go swim."

"Are you coming in too?"

"I'd rather watch you in the water."

I take the dress off. I take everything off, leaving it on the back of a chair, and then I'm walking down the stairs into the warm water of the pool. Holding my breath, I go completely under the water. It’s the only way any of this feels real, with my eyes looking up through the water at Law watching me from the pool ledge. I emerge and smile at Law as I push my hair back. He smiles back at me, now with his shirt unbuttoned and pants rolled up to mid-calf. He sits and puts his feet in the water as I swim backwards toward the waterfall.

I go under it, to the other side. It's colder here, but I withstand it long enough to go to the edge and look out at the view. It's nothing but forest and the dark night sky. It's utterly beautiful. I swim back to the warmer water and just enjoy myself, all the while acting like I don't feel Law's eyes burning into me.

"Won't you come in with me?" I ask, coming to lean against the ledge in between his legs.

"I'm having fun watching you."

"You mean, watching my body?"

"I mean you."

I swallow. "And what are you thinking, as you're watching me?"

"That you're beautiful."
