“Come on now, spit it out.”

Her hand comes down on my shoulder as she lifts to her feet. I steady her as I stand myself and then both her hands rest heavy on my cheeks. “It’s about time you made some plans, child, and live your life.”

With that cryptic statement, she stoops to grab her cigarettes and shuffles inside, slamming her door at my back.

“What…?” I talk to the air, hoping it answers with some clarity.

By the timeI stalk next door to my house, I’m restless and jittery, my bones trying to disconnect itself from the rest of me. My obscure conversation with Rita did nothing but confuse me further.

Geralt senses my unease and jumps on the counter, rubbing against my arm as I slug back a small cup of hot tea, but the drink doesn’t chill me out. In fact, it heightens everything. Grey’s hands on my body, the words he said, how he said them, with a gruff and growly voice that would send any woman’s panties up in flames.

My dear God, I did not know he had that kind of mouth on him. He’s right, I would literally collapse in a fit of giggles if he asked me to call him Daddy, but the other stuff? The sharp tightening of my lower belly overrides any rational thought.

His voice follows me to my room, as I get dressed for bed, and once I slip between the cool sheets, I let my hand wander under my waistband. I’m desperate for release, desperate to take away the ache. My fingers meet my slick core, my back bowing up as I touch my sensitive clit.

Remembering Grey’s naughty words whispered in my ear, spurs me forward, has me rocking up into my hand, imagining it’s his long fingers doing the job instead. His breath on my ear, the slipping and sliding, his toned, hard body pressed up against mine, and I soon explode into a prism of ecstasy, scattered and breathless across my bed.

Sinking further into my blankets, the glow of my orgasm dissipates and the stark reality floods in, chilling my steaming body. The one man who’s dominated my thoughts, intruded upon my sense of self, is the very one I shouldn’t want.
