I wanted to do nasty things to her… but couldn’t.
 
 Not if she didn’t want to.
 
 And why would someone so beautiful as her want a big thug like me?
 
 I was fooling myself.
 
 Even if I could claim her as my prize, she would never be with me if she had a choice.
 
 I should go outside and tell her she could leave.
 
 She didn’t want to be with me.
 
 She would be better off out there…
 
 With someone else?
 
 I ground my teeth.
 
 No. Not with someone else.
 
 That would be the worst outcome I could imagine and I wouldn’t allow it while I had any say in the matter.
 
 I took myself in hand and felt that familiar throbbing ache she always gave me.
 
 I pictured Ivy’s smooth skin and imagined her in the kitchen, cooking my meal, and serving me.
 
 Serving me…
 
 I would wrap my arms around her, tight and close, and press my hard cock against her ass so she could feel it.
 
 Then I would pull her pants down and rub myself against her, getting her warmed up and wet for me.
 
 Then I would turn her face toward me and kiss her full on the lips.
 
 She would respond with that fire I saw the first day we met and, with her eyes on mine, I would enter her.
 
 I’d catch her gasp on my lips and she would groan deliciously as she took my full length.
 
 I would reach under the T-shirt she wore to hide—but which failed abysmally—her delicious breasts.
 
 I would slip my hand under the fabric of her bra.
 
 No.
 
 She wouldn’t be wearing a bra.
 
 She would be loose and I would cup her in my hand and—
 
 Something touched me on the ass in the shower.
 
 I bolted back and slammed against the wall in shock.
 
 I spun around and assumed a fighting stance.
 
 Someone must have slipped inside my room.
 
 To get to me, they had to pass through the kitchen.
