Page 53 of Take Me (Dark Odyssey 5)

He’s just going to throw me away again. That’s what’s going to happen.

Christian pulls out of the kiss and out of me, his cum leaks down my legs and a pang of guilt pierces my heart.

Everything is too much, and I don’t know how to handle it. I don’t seem to even know what I’m doing anymore. Since when do I have sex in a public place, or with a man I barely know? That’s all it’s been with us. Sex and fucking. The most normal thing I’ve ever done with him is ram my car into the back of his.

“Come… let’s go,” he says tucking his cock back into his pants.

I blink several times, uneasy, not knowing what he could mean.

“Where?” I whisper.

“The suite.” He fixes his pants then picks up the remains of my dress from the ground to throw around my shoulders like a cape. “You’re spending the night with me. We’ll talk in the morning.”

Talk…

“About what?”

“About what I’m going to do with you.”

His words sound ominous and I know I should at least question what he means, but the wild sexual haze still has me under its spell, and it’s shifted reality around me. So, when he slips his arm around my waist and guides me toward the door, I follow.

I follow with the lure to spend the night with him.

Chapter Seventeen

Lilly

Bright sunlight wakes me the next morning. Just like it did that first time.

Back then it came as a warning to leave.

Christian was asleep then and I woke in his arms, confused because I lay cocooned there with his arm around me like we’d always fallen asleep that way.

This morning he’s awake.

He’s the first thing I see when my eyes flutter open and the sight of him sitting across from me shirtless wearing nothing but his boxers sends my pulse racing.

His hair is ruffled from the night we had and those eyes of his stare back at me like they want to claim me all over again.

I’m not sure how last night could have been more intense than the previous nights we spent together. But it was. Giving myself to him the previous times opened the door for more and last night I gave more. So did he.

Last night it wasn’t just me spending the night with him, it was him spending the night with me too. Like we could have been two normal people who met at The Dark Odyssey.

“Come here,” he says, skipping past pleasantries.

A sliver of panic seeps into my nerves and they scatter, wary of the unknown and what’s going to happen next. He said we’d talk in the morning.

This is it.

I gather the sheet around me to cover myself and make my way over to him taking in the beautiful, powerful man before me against the backdrop of the waterfall.

I feel like I just stepped into some kind of fantasy, but this is no fantasy. This is my life and my life is far from a dream.

He pulls me into his lap, and he slips his arm around my waist.

“Lilly are you in some kind of trouble?” he asks and my heart squeezes. “I want you to tell me if you are.”

Where do I begin?
