Taking them, I moved to sit up and leaned toward the light from the window.

It was the STD results, but they weren’t mine. They were his.

I glanced up at him. “These are yours.”

He nodded and took it away to show the sheet below it. My name was at the top. I let my eyes scan over it, knowing it must all be fine or he wouldn’t have brought them to my bed.

He put his in front of me again. “I’m clean.”

“I see. I didn’t ask for yours.”

His fingers moved a lock of hair off my shoulder, and then hetook it and began to twirl it around his finger. “Yours is the only cunt I’ve ever considered sinking into bare, Ringlets,” he told me. “And I want you to feel safe when I do it again.”

I sucked in a breath. “Again?” I asked, shifting back from him. “I didn’t agree to that. Or sex at all.”

A slow smirk touched his lips, but his eyes darkened as he held my gaze. “Are you going to punish me? What about if I just kiss it? You spread your legs for me, and I’ll make you feel so good.” The tips of his fingers ran over my collarbone, then down to my chest before circling one of my nipples poking against the camisole I was wearing. “I can suck on these too,” he added.

I fought back the urge to pant and beg him. Wanting all of that.

“So I can be treated like I don’t exist tomorrow?” I asked. “No thanks. I-I can’t do that again. It hurts, Linc. I don’t deserve it. You don’t treat Jayda that way.” Saying this to him helped remind me why I had to get him out of my bed.

He paused, and I looked at him, my chin held high. I would not be embarrassed by admitting this to him. It was true. He was hurting me, and I was no longer going to just take it.

“I know I hurt you, and I’m sorry. That’s over. I can’t push you away anymore. I need you, Ringlets. In my life. In my bed. Just you.”

Just me? I fought off the wave of joy because that wasn’t possible. This was Linc.

“Don’t promise things you can’t do,” I said.

His words were already painful, and he hadn’t broken them yet.

He tilted his head and cupped the side of my face. His thumb ran over my lower lip, and his hooded eyes went from my mouth to meet my gaze. “No one else compares, and trust me, I’ve tried. The woman was sucking my cock because I couldn’t bring myself to fuck anyone else. I’d been trying, and it wouldn’t work. With her on her knees and her scent away from my nose, I couldimagine it was you. Think about you. It was the only way I could get there. Just you. It’s just you.”

I let out a ragged breath. Wanting this to be real. Terrified it wasn’t.

“You’ll change your mind. The other women won’t disappear. You’ll get bored with me. Jayda is here every day, and I like her, which just causes me more pain.”

He grinned as he moved in close, and his lips touched mine. “Are you jealous of Jayda?” he asked, his husky voice sounding amused.

If his hand wasn’t currently between my thighs and his breath wasn’t mingling with mine, I might be able to slap him.

“Yes,” I whispered, hating it.

“Ringlets”—he trailed kisses along my jawline as his fingers slid over the crotch of my panties—“I’ve never fucked, Jayda.”

The laugh of disbelief was mixed with a moan as his finger ran along the slickness he’d caused. “I’ve seen you with her,” I panted as my fingers fisted the sheets.

“Mmhmm. She’s my employee, my friend even. But that’s it,” he replied as he sank a finger inside me.

“AH!” I cried, rocking against it.

“If anyone needs to be jealous, it’s me. Because while I’ve never touched Jayda, I know she’s thought about how sweet this pussy is and imagined tasting what is mine.”

I stilled, and a deep chuckle came from him as his mouth moved back to hover over mine.

“Good thing Jayda is faithful to her girlfriend,” he murmured, then took my mouth and thrust his tongue inside as his finger worked in and out of me.

I moaned into his mouth as I sank against him. I gave up. I had no way to keep myself from allowing him to take what he wanted. I’d handed him my childish heart, and he’d broken my adult one. Now, here I was, letting him consume what was left ofmy soul.
