She also looks so fucking sad.

That stops me in my tracks.

“Is this what you like?” she asks softly. Her voice barely rises above a whisper. “Having a helpless woman at your disposal? Forcing yourself on a woman who can’t refuse?”

Her words send a jolt stinging through me.

I feel my cock deflate.

The desire coursing through my veins hits a wall suddenly and I feel my hands fall to my sides.

“Go,” I growl. “Now. Get out of here.”

She stares at me for a moment. Trying to figure out if I’m serious or not.

Then she slides out from underneath me and runs for her bedroom.

A second later, I hear the door slam shut.

I lean my forehead against the wall, the same one I had just made her come against.

And then I send my fist slamming into it.

Now, I’ve got a raging hard-onandbruised knuckles. I ignore the pain lancing through my hand and head straight for my bedroom.

I discard my sweaty clothes and without so much as sitting down, I start masturbating furiously, my head swimming with thoughts of Esme.

I relive the moment when I saw her breasts for the first time.

I relive the moment I sucked her nipples until she moaned and grabbed my hair.

I relive everything, again and again, until hot seed shoots out of me.

Only then can I breathe again.

The relief pours through me. Like I’ve purged her—fuckingfinally.

But that lasts for hardly a few seconds before it sets in again—the hunger. The burning, aching need for more of what I’ve just barely tasted.

That pisses me the fuck off.

I walk into my bathroom and turn on the shower. I step inside, and cold water assaults my body.

I welcome the prickly pain.

I stand there for a long time, trying to get her out of my head.

But twenty-five, almost thirty minutes later, I’m still consumed with thoughts of her, and only her.

“Fuck!” I yell to the empty cavern of my bathroom. My roars echo until they fade away.

I have to find a way to deal with this massive need inside me.

I have to fill it with something other than Esme.

Because I know now, without a doubt, that something terrible is happening.

And I need to fucking end it.
