Leena walks back over, setting a waterproof bandage and a wet rag down beside me, then helping me to my feet.

I tower over her, and I fucking love it. She looks up at me, clearly trying to gauge my reaction to this newfound information.

I decide to make my feelings perfectly fucking clear.

I quickly grab her throat, enjoying how far around it my fingers wrap and pull her closer to me. Her pulse quickens beneath my palm and I drop my voice to a tone she’s only heard me use once before.

Because I need to know right fucking now if she’s okay with this too.

My jaw clenches. I straighten, my stance dominant, injury be damned.

“Why. The. Fuck. Am I just now hearing this?” I growl out, enjoying how her eyelids flutter and her mouth drops open.

She can’t be that surprised, she saw me like this at the club. I guess it’s different, being up close. But I need her to see all of me,knowall of me. Because this is who I am.

“Fuck,” she breathes out, and I continue.

“I won’t always make you smile or laugh when I fuck you, Leena. Are you sure you still want me? Even when I’m like this?” I grind out, squeezing just a bit harder.

Her perfect mouth parts, and her eyes darken with lust.

Not fear.

I narrow my eyes, cocking my head and gripping just a little harder. I watch this woman watch me.

Seeme.

Her eyes dare me to squeeze harder, so I do.

“Fuck yes,” she breathes out, her voice strained. “I want you like this. And I want a fucking harness.”

I close my eyes, sucking in a long breath and letting my hand relax to a gentle caress as I settle my forehead against hers.

“Leena?” I say with a strained sort of patience.

“Yeah?”

“Get that bandage on me right fucking now. I need you naked,” I say, slamming my mouth against hers.

She’s as frantic as I am, kissing me and clawing at my shirt until we are forced apart so she can get it over my head.

I rest my hands against the tub to support myself as she gently works my shorts over my wound then lets them drop to the floor. She lets out a little gasp when she finds just how much our conversation turned me on. I chuckle, then lift up my arm so she can get in closer to clean the wound and put on the bandage.

She helps me into the tub, then down into the shallow water, and holy fuck it hurts. It hurts fucking everywhere. But I’m not about to let that little fact stop me from enjoying the sight of Leena naked for the first time.

I take a steadying breath, then look over at her, standing beside the tub.

Fuck,she’s gorgeous with her clothes on. My heart might just stop entirely when she takes them off.

Fucking worth it.

She grabs the bottom of her shirt and slowly starts pulling upward, revealing her perfectly toned stomach. One I know she works hard for, since she’s just as competitive as the guys. And when she pulls it over her head, my breath completely stops.

Of course she wasn’t wearing a bra.I know she never does, butfuck.

I’m staring at the most perfect breasts I’ve ever seen in my fucking life. How can everything about her be so perfect?

She slides her pants down, then tosses them aside as she straightens. I let out a strained breath as I take in the sight of her perfect fucking body.
