But my legs refuse to follow orders. My feet are glued to the floor.

“Tatum,” he groans, and fuck, am I glad I stayed put.

My hand lifts and claps over my mouth to keep the loud gasp that wants to break free.

He’s thinking about me…

His chest heaves as he rides out every second of his release.

He lets himself go, leaving his still semi-hard dick standing proud of his body.

My mouth waters as I fight to rip my eyes away from it.

“I know you’re there,” he suddenly says, scaring the ever-loving shit out of me.

Fuck. Fuck. FUUUUUCK.

I take a hesitant step back, desperately wanting to believe that I imagined him saying those words and that I wasn’t just caught shamelessly watching him jerk off in the shower like a creep.

Newsflash, Tatum. You are a massive creep.

Shit.

I take another step back before I risk looking up.

He’s looking at me, I know he is. My skin is burning with its attention, but I can’t face him.

Embarrassment and desire heat my cheeks as I shift on my feet, conflicted about what to do next.

“Look at me.” His demand cracks through the air like a whip, and I’m powerless but to follow orders.

My eyes jump to his and I audibly gasp. I swear I must suck all the air from the room, because it’s impossible to breathe again while I’m ensnared in his trap.

“King,” I whisper, not knowing if I want to run in the shower and demand he show me what else he’s capable of with that body, or spin on my heels and sprint as far and as fast as I can away from him.

His eyes crinkle with amusement; it’s the only way I know he’s smirking, because I can’t look away from his dark green orbs.

“Go back to bed, Tatum.”

“W-what?” I breathe.

“Go back to bed. It’s the middle of the night and you need to rest.”

Rest?

Rest is the very last thing I need right now.

“Do as you’re told, baby.”

“Why?” I sass. “Will you punish me if I don’t?”

His eyes darken dangerously and my stomach knots.

“Don’t push me right now, Tatum.”

“What if I want to?” I taunt, jutting my chin out in defiance.

His jaw ticks in irritation.
