taking place on the other side of the closed door. With every
splash of water, he imagined her hands sliding over her body and he had to
fight the urge to kick the door in. The bathroom didn’t seem very big from the
outside, which meant the shower was probably small, but he wouldn’t need much
room to bring her pleasure.
With his dick begging for release and his mind completely in
the gutter, Drew cast a glance around the room in hopes of finding anything
else to concentrate on. In his desperate bid for distraction, he made the
biggest mistake of all. He slid open the drawer of the table beside him.
Although he hadn’t thought such a thing possible, his shaft hardened even more,
and he quickly closed the drawer. Draping his arm over his eyes to shut out the
room, he concentrated on bringing his body under control. He’d known Aubree
wasn’t a puritan, and he was damn glad for it, but he’d still been surprised by
the collection of toys. The water shut off and he begged his dick to cooperate.
He was going to have her. It was only a matter of time. When it happened, he’d
make sure she became so addicted to his touch, she’d never be able to shake
him. However, today wasn’t the day. She wasn’t ready for him yet.
The bathroom door opened and he turned on his side grabbing
a handful of comforter along the way. He managed to hide his erection from
sight while exposing the sheets next to him. He patted the spot beside him.
“I’m not getting out of this awesome bed so you’re going to have to join me.”
She’d twisted her hair into a clip at the crown of head. She’d
changed into a pair of yoga pants and a cotton form-fitting shirt. He knew she
wasn’t trying to tempt him, but she still was, and he was grinding his back
teeth to keep from pouncing on her. Thankfully, instead of the argument he was
expecting, she climbed onto the bed and settled in next to him. At the last
second, he pulled one of his knees up to keep her from pressing too close, and
to his amazement, she simply threw her legs over his and scooted in until her
shoulder hit his chest. Incapable of resisting her, he slipped his arm beneath
her head.
The delicious smell rolling off her body did nothing to ease
his lust. As she stared silently at the ceiling, he contemplated what she would
sound like as she came against his mouth. As he began to wonder if he would
start panting soon, she asked, “Why me?”
With his brain no longer fully functioning, he couldn’t
process her question. “Why you what?”
She turned her head meeting his stare. “I imagine you know
thousands of people,” she explained. “But you’re here with me. Why?”
Of all the topics she could’ve chosen to discuss, she landed
on the one that immediately brought his body back in check. “I don’t know
anyone,” he admitted. “Everyone I know is a fake. Everyone I meet lies to me
and tells me what I want to hear.” He hated to say the man’s name and bring him
between them, but Drew needed to make her understand. “Take Ryan as the perfect
example. I met him while he was going from club to club, asking if he could
leave brochures for his self-defense classes. He struck up a conversation with
me and even as I recognized he was after something, I didn’t guard myself
against it. I thought he was angling for the free weekend at the casino, which
he ended up with. Obviously, I could’ve never guessed his true intentions, but
still, it’s always the same with everyone I meet. Most of the time, I don’t
care because I’m fairly self-sufficient, but today when I got the news about
Max, it mattered. You’re not like anyone else. Not once have I felt as if you
want anything from me.”
Her expression never changed as he made his confession. He
was grateful she didn’t show him an ounce of pity. He really didn’t need it. He
had more than most people in the world and he was more than aware of it. But
when it came to Aubree, it mattered. After a moment, Aubree
