His blunt, dirty words slammed into me like a two-ton brick. My body flushed as the images his words provoked began running through my head. His hand wrapped around his shaft as he imagined tying me to his bed and teasing me, tormenting me, driving me crazy until I pleaded with him to finally take me. I could not figure out which had me hotter, the knowledge that he had pleasured himself or his desire to top me. Either way, I was on fire with the need to drop to my knees and beg him to take me.A firm hand grasped the back of my head and his scorching lips descended on mine. Lost in the fantasy world of his creation, I did not even think to deny him.At the first touch of his firm demanding lips, I opened to him and gave him everything he asked. Desire shot through me in time with his heated strokes and I moaned gently, unintelligibly begging for more.Yeah, you really did well resisting him, didn't ya? A catty voice mocked me in my head.Shut up! I snapped back at it.Needing to feel

I waited for a heartbeat to make sure Trev didn't come bursting back in, then set a speed record for washing myself off and jumping out of the shower. As I was drying off, I took a second to look over what Trev had brought me to wear tonight."That's it?" I whined as I held up the t-shirt.I glanced around, hoping there was something else to go with it, but the search was futile. Sighing in aggravation, I put the shirt on and pulled it as far down over my underwear as I could. It hit mid-thigh, but at least my bottom was covered. The one thing I was really pissed about was the fact that I had not put a bra on because the dress was too tight for me to wear one. Looking around, I began to plan out my bathroom sanctuary including a nice cozy place to sleep."Oh, come on Vie, you're being ridiculous," I chastised myself. "Considering the fact, he was just in here while you were showering, I'm pretty sure he got a good peak."I took a deep breath and braced myself for whatever was going to

Annoying music woke me from a very deep sleep, and I reached my hand over to shut off the alarm on my phone before I realize it wasn't there.I shot straight up in bed and became even more disoriented when nothing looked like my bedroom. The sharp stinging pain in my cheek brought last night's events back to me. Bethany being held by those guys, wanting her uncle's money back, the knife on my face. I hissed a painfilled breath and gently touched my cheek. I knew the cut was just a thin line, but it really felt as if he took a huge chunk out of my cheek. I scrambled to shut off the still jingling phone; spitting out curses when my feet kept stumbling across the floor to where my purse sat. Ugh, was it really already time to get up? I opened my phone to call Bethany and tell her there was no way I was going to be coming in today, only to find a message from her saying she was closing shop for a few days. I just knew that over the next few months, I would be looking over my shoulder an

'Much later' actually didn't happen that night. Trev left early that morning after informing me that I was not to leave the house, period. I would have argued with him, but he gave me one last kiss that wiped all thought of argument out of my brain. He didn't come back until well after I was asleep. The only reason why I had known he had come home that night was that I had fallen asleep on the couch and woke up in bed.I buried my head in his pillow, breathing in his scent. I tried and failed to ignore the tightening in my chest that had accompanied his absence all day yesterday and was still plaguing me. There was a gentle knock on the door, and my heart expanded then jumped as Trev's voice came through it."Vie? Sweetheart, you awake?""Yeah," I said breathlessly.Trev popped in with a cup of coffee made up just how I liked it and a bag thrown over his back."I knew you were an early riser. I brought you some coffee and here." Trev dropped the bag next to the bed. "I stopped by your

What was happening to me? I normally had such great control. Yet right now I felt achy, needy. I wanted to throw myself at his feet and beg him to tease me, take me, and dominate me."I guess I better get going," he repeated and started heading towards the store.The panic I had felt earlier came back to me. If Trev left, would the dream come back? I found myself reaching for him. "No, please! Can you just… stay here with me? Maybe, sleep on the floor.""Honey, if I stay here with you. I am not sleeping on the floor," Trev warned with a heated look.Looking down, I saw that my nightgown had shoved up around my hips and the bedspread was tossed off to the side. I must have been struggling hard during my sleep. I should have been mortified, but I found his eyes on me heated my simmering blood almost to the boiling point. Swallowing hard, I made a split-second decision and threw caution to the wind. Whether or not I would regret it tomorrow was another story, but I'd deal with it tomorrow
