My dress was the first thing to go. Vaughn worked out how to get it off, and the cloud of fabric pooled at my feet, rendering me utterly and completely bare. I pulled his jacket off and undid his tie while his hands roamed all over me, as if he needed to remind himself of what I felt like. The anticipation of this man inside me was far too great — my hands were shaking.Vaughn picked me up and carried me to the opulent king-sized bed, simultaneously unzipping himself. Wrapping my arms around his neck, we fell together, the bed catching us. Gunter certainly knew how to choose a bed, I gave him that.“Do you think we can skip dinner?” Vaughn breathed into my neck, nipping at the soft skin there.“Definitely.” I released a low moan when he slipped a thick finger inside me. He slipped in another, finding my most sensitive part in an instant, his thumb massaging my clít. Any touch was a good touch and, arching my back, I came into his hand, gasping for air.“Holly shít, that was quick,” he

The two weeks I spent in Nick and Dani’s spare bedroom passed in a blur and, surprisingly, they were two of the best weeks I’d had in a long time. Instead of feeling pathetic and sorry for myself, I took that time to regroup and reassess my life – or, more accurately, what was left of it.The day after Jack had assaulted me, Dani and I took half an hour to pack what little was mine into boxes and bin bags once we’d found that the house was empty and the spare key was where I usually left it.

But under Vaughn’s piercing stare, it was all I could do to tell myself how to breathe.“I… I don’t know,” I croaked out, and the words barely made it out my dry mouth.“Of course, of course.” Nick glanced at Vaughn. “She’s new. But you already know that. I mean, you’ve been coming here for ages.” His gaze returned to me. “I can’t understand the new filing system for the list of what we’ve already put an order for.”“I just… put them in order of dates.”Nick gave out an audible sigh. “Give me a minute, man?” he grunted at the boy-man I’d only been thinking about minutes before. “My glasses are somewhere in my office.”“Yeah, sure. I’ll just wait here.”Nick met my eyes. “You don’t mind being left alone with him?”I shook my head and he turned and left. My stomach instantly turned over. Alone. I was alone with Vaughn.
