She had enough to worry about with her own therapy and the physiotherapist that Colm had found to help her with her back.

“Someone is being a bit naughty,” Colm muttered.

“Not naughty,” she told him. “Desperate.”

“Desperate?”

“Please don’t make me have to get myself off with my vibrator again,” she begged.

Colm let out a surprised laugh. “Baby, why didn’t you tell me you needed me?”

“I don’t know. It’s hard to just blurt that out, so I thought I would show you. I was almost starting to worry you didn’t want me.”

He ran his finger through her slick lips. “Not want you? Sure, that’s why I’ve been having cold showers every night and jerking off several times a day.”

“You have?” she whispered. “Then why didn’t you . . .”

“I was trying to be a gentleman.”

“Why? That doesn’t suit you.”

“Brat!” He lightly slapped her pussy and she sucked in a breath. “I was going slow because I knew you needed that after Oleg. I never want you to fear me, Sofia. The night I found out he’d been abusing you . . . when I reached for you and you shied away from me, I thought my heart might break.”

“Is that why you left me?” she asked. “You weren’t disgusted by me?”

“Sofia Anisimov, you’re in deep trouble for that,” he growled. “I could never be disgusted by you and you know it. Are you asking for a spanking?”

She squirmed in the chair.

“Hmm. Seems you are.” He settled back and then tugged off the blanket before lifting her over his lap.

Face down.

This wasn’t what she wanted at all.

Isn’t it?

The skirt went up, but then he paused and took a deep breath.

“Fuck, baby. I shouldn’t be doing this, should I? I don’t want you to confuse him and me.”

What? She would never do that. And as he tried to turn her over, she realized this was exactly what she needed.

To feel normal.

“No!” she cried.

“No? Shit. I’m so sorry.” He sat her up.

“I mean, no, I don’t want you to stop. I want to try this. I trust you. I know you’ll stop if I tell you to. Please.”

“You sure,Mo Chridhe?” he murmured.

“So sure. If I need to stop, I’ll say Red.”

Leaning in, he kissed her. She moaned, relaxing in his arms as arousal filled her.

He was so good at that.
