“I haven’t changed my mind about you, Allegra. I still want you here with me. I want you to be mine. I want to look after you.”
“But I don’t want to be a liability to you. I know having me around is going to change everything for you. The way you operate. The way you live…”
“And that is what I want! I’m willing to change all those things if that means I get to have you in my bed.”
My heart stirred. That spot between my legs stirred too.
“This is where I want to stay,” I replied. A smile was flickering in the corners of my lips.
“But you have to promise me one thing,” Flash said. My smile dropped. What was I going to have to agree to? I waited for an explanation. “That you will always trust me to do the right thing by you.”I remembered Sophie’s words. Flash had slept around, fucked a different woman every night. Women threw themselves at him. Sexy women who had nothing to lose.
But once he claimed a woman, there wouldn’t be anyone as loyal as him. That was Sophie’s belief. I had to admit, I was beginning to see that too.
“I trust you, Flash,” I replied to him.
I could see the top half of his torso in the water. The rest of him was submerged underneath. I wanted to slide over to him, feel his cock underneath me.
“Now you’ve seen a slice of my life. You’ve seen what it involves. A lot of the times, it involves a lot worse,” he continued.
I shook my head. “I understand why you’re saying this. It’s because of what I did when I found the shoebox full of drugs in the house. I want you to know I was a different person back then. I was naïve, hadn’t experienced the world. Most of all, I didn’t…I didn’t trust Billy.”
Flash was watching me intently, trying to study my body language. Maybe he was trying to decide if I was being truthful or not.
“I have experienced a lot since then. I’ve seen how the lines of good and bad blur. Nothing is black and white. There are no rules.”
Flash clenched his jaws and nodded his head slightly.
“I just want you to be prepared for everything. There will be a lot of sleepless nights ahead if you decide to be with me.”
“I’ve already decided,” I replied and bit down on my lip. “I spent the last year feeling lost and alone. Living out of a car and eating protein bars for breakfast. I think I can manage a few sleepless nights if it means I get to spend them with you.”
Flash was staring at me from under his eyelids. Brown eyes. So strong and intense. Had he not made his decision yet? Maybe it was possible he could still change his mind?
Then he stood up from the tub, splashing water everywhere. I didn’t even know where his glass of wine was anymore.
He got out of the tub and then turned to me. My heart was thudding in my chest, threatening to leap right out of my throat. He reached for me, grabbing me by my arms. I was naked, covered in soapy bubbles, damp and slippery, but he had a strong grip on me.
I couldn’t help but squeal with delight as he threw me over his shoulder and walked out of the bathroom.
In the bedroom, he put me down on the rug in front of the fireplace. I watched as he started lighting the fire. I had never wanted anything more than I wanted him right now.Flash stood in front of the fireplace without a stitch of clothing on him. The orange glow of the fireplace lit him up. His silhouette was dark and tall. I sat on the floor on the rug, staring up at him while I was on my knees.
Even though I was naked, I wasn’t self-conscious. I sat with my breasts thrust forward in invitation. Looking up at him with my eyes glowing. He had a stony and determined expression.
Neither of us had said a word since he started lighting the fire. He leaned toward me now and grabbed me by the back of my neck. I gasped. My mouth fell open and he kissed me.
I sank into him, feeling his tongue thrust down my throat. His cock was right there between his muscular thighs. I could reach out and grab him, feel it grow and harden in my hand. But I wanted to wait a moment longer. I wanted to make him yearn for me a little more.
I wrapped my arms around his neck instead, tugging him closer to me while we continued to kiss, his tongue in my mouth, my fingers clenched together as I pinned myself to him. He groaned as his hands traveled down my back. Long and slender, he was feeling up my shape.
