I grabbed her hand. Her shaking stopped as I rubbed the back of her hand in comforting circles with my thumb. Alice sighed and relaxed in the backseat until we arrived at the parking garage. I pulled her out of the backseat and carried herupstairs. She clung to me as I carried her to my bathroom. I sat her on the toilet and pulled off her blouse.

“I hope you weren’t sentimental over this,” I whispered.

“No. Burn it all.”

“Perfect.” I tried to avoid looking at her and stepped back. “I’ll bring you a change of clothes. Get in the shower and wash off.”

Alice nodded as I walked away.

Chapter Four

Alice

The blood was gone.

I stumbled out of the shower in a daze and wrapped a towel around me. I picked up the clothes he placed in the bathroom while I stood underneath the water. This all looked like stuff that would fit him. If my thigh would fit in it, it wouldn’t go further. There was a fluffy robe, though. Robes were one size fit all, and I slipped that on. While I was in the shower, I decided on something.

I wanted to fuck Declan.

Opening the door, Declan looked up from his massive bed. “Feeling better?” he asked.

“Yeah, but you know I have a fatter ass than that, right?”

“I sent a man to get some clothes that will fit you. I’m sure it will be here soon.”

“Thanks.” I sat on the bed beside him. “At least the robe is one size fits all. Although I can’t cuddle into it like I want.” I waved towards ample cleavage spilling out of the edges of the robe.

Declan avoided looking at me and stared at his phone. “Do you feel better?”

“I already said yes. I need a favor from you.”

“What else could you need from me?” he asked with a smirk on his face.

“Can we fuck?” I asked bluntly. “I know I’m not as pretty as the super models and stuff you can probably date. I just really need to forget what happened. And I want to choose it. I want tofeel.”

“You’re asking me to have sex with you? After you just rejected a guy and killed him?”

I looked away from him and fiddled with the sash. “We can forget it happened afterwards. I just want to feel and I want it to be my choice. I know it’s stupid. I just need control. Please? It sounds stupid.”

“If we do this, you owe me.”

“So cleaning up my mess is favor free, but this is a favor?” I asked.

“I told you the other night to call me if you were in danger. It wasn’t an invitation for a booty call.”

I sighed. “Fine. I’ll owe you a favor.”

His face shifted like he won something. Not sure what. I wasn’t a supermodel like his last few exes. Yes, I googled him after the other night. All of his notable exes were gorgeous and whatever I wasn’t. He’d be slumming with me. The flirting from the other night, I figured it was just for show. Maybe a way to show dominance and throw me off. That made sense to me with how he used to treat me as a teen. Or how many people treated me growing up. Another furl of nervousness bloomed within me. At least that was better than replaying what had happened a few hours earlier.

I sucked in a breath and pushed him into the bed. His phone clattered onto the floor. I straddled his body and crashed my lips into his. His fingers curled into my wet hair and he pulled me tighter against his body. Declan’s tongue tapped at the seam of my mouth and I opened for him. Our tongues twisted and glidedagainst each other as I rocked my hips on top of his pelvis. He moaned into the kiss as he pushed the robe off my shoulder. Fingertips traced down the nape of my neck before he broke the kiss. His lips dragged down my cheek and neck as he nipped and kissed my skin before he sucked on my skin. A larger spark of desire coursed through me, and I moaned in delight. He pushed the robe off my body and I pulled away as the fabric revealed every roll on my body to him. I swallowed. This was the moment he could reject me or call me ugly.

Declan’s eyes darkened as he looked down at my body. His fingers glided down my shoulders towards my imperfect breasts. “Have you ever thought of me as you touched yourself?” he whispered.

My face grew warmer. There were a few times when I was a teen. “No,” I lied.

He grinned. “You’re lying.” He reached up and caressed my cheek. “Your body’s telling me the truth. You’re so wet already, grinding all over me and your skin’s red.”

I pursed my lips but didn’t respond. Declan rocked his hips upward and his bulge hit me in the best way. I moaned and my eyes rolled onto the back of my head. He pushed me into the bed and slid off. I propped myself on my elbows and watched Declan undress. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt as I watched every muscle reveal itself. Declan grinned as he threw off the shirt and it slipped to the floor. Every muscle in his body was well defined, and he had dark tattoos covering most of his chest. My fingers itched to touch them. The click of his belt filled the air as he pushed his slacks down his hips. He wrapped his hand around his cock and pumped it a few times. A drip of pre-cum welled at the tip. Declan wasthickand pierced all the way down.
