“No one touches you,” he went on and pulled my skirt up my hips, bunching the dress at my waist and then up, yanking it off. “No one…but me,” he concluded.

His eyes weren’t warm and liquid. They were hard and glittery.

I had the feeling this was more than just about Vince. This was about anyone, anywhere. This was about me being branded in an entirely different way.

The breath in my lungs started to burn.

“Oh…kay,” I said, and that one word shook.

He pulled off his T-shirt and his hands came around me and unhooked my bra. He slid the straps down my arms and tossed it aside. I wanted to cover myself but I didn’t figure that was a good move.

“Are you angry?” I asked.

He was looking at my body, but his eyes came to mine.

“Yeah,” he answered. “I’m angry.”

His hands pushed down my panties until they fell to the floor.

He lifted me up by my bottom and I had no choice but to wrap my arms and legs around him. He twisted and put a knee to the bed, planting me on it and then settling on top of me.

“Maybe we should talk,” I whispered.

“Now she wants to talk,” he muttered into my neck, his hand between us, working the buttons at his fly.

I felt a different kind of flutter in my belly.

His mouth came to my ear, his fingers touched me between my legs and I caught my breath.

“In a minute, I’m gonna fuck you so hard, neither of us are gonna think about this, and after, we’re gonna be so exhausted, we’ll sleep. Tomorrow, we’ll talk. Does that work for you?”

I bit my lip and nodded my head.

Itsoworked for me.

“Good,” he murmured.

Then he did what he promised.

I woke.

It was still dark and I knew something wasn’t right.

Eddie wasn’t in bed with me and I heard voices in the other room.

I threw my legs out of bed, felt on the floor for anything to put on and my hand found Eddie’s sweater. I pulled it over my head and walked to the door.

It was closed.

It hadn’t been closed when we went to sleep.

I started to open it. It came ajar an inch and then I stopped and listened when I heard Eddie talking.

“…this shit,” he finished.

There was a pause.
