“Oh. But I have clothing I can wear.”

“I didn’t see anything in the bag.”

“It’s out in my bag in the car.”

He studied her. “Is it that important you wear them, or can you put up with my shirt tonight?”

“Oh, I guess I can wear your shirt if you don’t mind,” she said.

He smiled. “No, Sweetheart. I don’t mind.”

He wrapped the shirt around her back and then helped her put her arms into the sleeves before he buttoned it. Then, he started to roll up the sleeves so she would be able to use her hands. Seeing his shirt on her made something in his chest tighten in tenderness. She looked even cuter and smaller in it, and it made his protective instincts rise exponentially. He’d think about his feelings later. Right now, he needed to get her into bed.

When he was finished with the sleeves, he turned on the dryer again. After five minutes, her hair still wasn’t dry, just a bit damp, but her eyelids kept closing, and she’d sway toward him.

“I think that’s good enough. Let’s get you into bed.” He lifted her off the counter and then wrapped an arm around her waist to steady her as he led her into the guest bedroom. He pulled back the blanket. “Hop in.”

Bella crawled in, and he tucked the blanket up to her chin.

“Do you think you’ll be warm enough?” he asked.

She nodded.

“If you need another blanket, there are more in the hall closet. Help yourself. If you need me, just call out. I’m a light sleeper.”

“Okay. Thank you, Caden.”

He swept the hair off her face and tried to ignore the bruise on her forehead. He had a lot more questions, a few about the bruises he’d seen all over her body, but they’d have to wait until later. “You’re welcome. Sleep as late as you can.”

“I have the interview at eight,” she said.

“I’ll tell the guys the situation.”

She shook her head and yawned. “No. I don’t want to make a bad impression.”

“You won’t. I promise. Let’s play it by ear.”

“Okay.”

He walked to the door and turned off the light. “I’ll leave this open a bit. That way, I can hear you better.”

“All right.”

“Night, Sweetheart.”

“Good night,” she said.

Caden turned off the hall light and left his bedroom door open enough to hear well. He jumped into the shower and scrubbed before he brushed his teeth. He slipped on a pair of shorts and grimaced. He preferred to sleep naked, but if he had to run, he didn’t want to have to stop and get dressed.

He settled down in the bed and sighed. It had been a long day, and he was exhausted. He was almost asleep when he realized there was a huge possibility that Bella was a virgin. Jesus, being the only man to touch a woman, is something he’d thought about over the years but didn’t think would ever happen in today’s world. Women didn’t think twice about spreading their legs for any man, so to find a virgin at the age of twenty-two was miraculous and also hotter than Hell.

“Fuck,” he groaned. He would have already been asleep, but he couldn’t get the image of her spread over his bed and him driving his cock into her tight cunt the first time, and it coming out streaked with her virgin blood, and his whole body ached.

He thought about jerking off, but he knew the sensation of an orgasm would only last a minute, so it wasn’t worth it.

Chapter Seven

Bella squinted her eyes open the next morning because of the bright sun shining through the window. It took her a moment before she realized it had to be late morning since the sun was higher in the sky.
