Bryan takes Jack’s place in the rocker beside me. He’s wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of sweats. It’s what he showed up in, but he looks to have showered since then and his clothes smell fresh like he’s done laundry.
“How are you feeling?” His hand reaches toward mine in comfort.
I shrug. “Better, I guess.”
There’s so much more I could say then,‘better, I guess,’but I don’t know how to say any of it.
Bryan looks away, then back again as though he’s struggling with himself. He scrubs his hand over his beard then looks back at me. “I know about the baby, Beth. Jack told me. Why didn’t you say anything? You shouldn’t be dealing with that alone.”
My heart tightens and words catch in my throat. I’m glad Bryan knows, but I’m pissed at my brother. “It wasn’t Jack’s place to tell you!”
“Someone had to. We’re going to be married and you’re walking around with a closet full of secrets.”
“What else did he say?”
Bryan lets out a heavy sigh. “Is there more to tell?” He exhales again. “If you took the guy’s necklace, we have to give it back.”
I sigh and pinch my lips together gently, trying to stop the squeezing in my chest. “Don’t you ever want to escape, Bryan? Start a new life? Be something different?”
He shrugs. “You’re my escape, Beth.” He looks down. “You have feelings for Liam, don’t you?”
“What?Who?” I pause, realizing my charade isn’t very believable. “No. I mean, I did, but that’s over now. And it was never realistic, anyway. I—”
“So, you wanting me to watch… that turned you on? Or was it your mind bridging the gap to when you were going to cut me loose.”
I shake my head. I want to deny it. Bryan’s giving me an out. But still, even thethoughtof what could have been, has my clit throbbing. Staring down at the wood planks of the back porch, I whisper, “It was never about cutting you out, Bryan. I love you. But, yes, the thought of it all turned me on.”
“What about it?”
I glance up toward Bryan and swallow hard. “Really? You want to know the details?”
He stands and reaches for my hand, a sinister look in his gaze that I’ve never seen before. His cock is hard and easily visible through the sweatpants. He’s turned on by this.
Does he want me to tell him because it gets him off too?
His hand brushes my cheek. “I’d like to know the details of what you were thinking, yeah.” He leans in and kisses the lobe of my ear, leaving behind warm heat.
A tractor runs in the distance. I look toward it before staring back at Bryan. This isn’t him. I mean, this is his face, and his mouth, but the things he’s saying, the things he’s thinking, I don’t know who that man is. He stands and pulls me into his arms.
“I’m confused.” I scratch the side of my forehead and stay hard-pressed against him. His cock pokes into my stomach.
He tips his head to the side, his cheeks pink. “Everything made sense when Jack told me what you’d been going through. Your need for escape, your need to be dominated, held, and made to feel like you’re safe.” He sucks in a deep breath. “I liked seeing you with him… with Liam. You were a different woman. Your eyes, your voice, the way you carried yourself. He brought you to life and gave you something I can’t.”
“Bryan, I—”
“No. I give you other things. I know that.” He drags his hand up and over my frame, palming my breasts as he leans into my ear. “But… I need to hear every detail of what he did to you. Every detail of what you wanted.”
My clit swells at the thought of Liam and I in the shower, Dex and I on the bed, and the thought of the fantasies I had with them both while Bryan watches.
“Are you sure you want to know? It’s—”
Bryan opens the door to the cabin and guides me in. “It’s all I’ve been thinking about, Beth. Tell me every detail.”
Chapter Twelve
Beth
In the time Bryan and I have been together, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him this turned on. For one, we’re in someone else’s house, which in the past, would’ve been a major turn off for him. He’d have been worried about the noises, the possible interruptions, the dirty sheets we’d be leaving behind. Second, it’s broad daylight. I’m talking ten in the morning. That’s not Bryan’s thing. He’s all about late night sex. The kind that comes after you’ve properly completed the day and shut off all the lights.
