Anthony spoke with his already deep husky voice become deeper and huskier making my insides clench."Huh?" I whispered to myself.Chuckling, he started coming closer and closer to me but with every step forward he took, I took one backwards, well at least until my back hit the kitchen island. In a flash, Anthony was in front of me and he placed his hands on either sides of the island trapping me."Look at me." He commanded and I couldn't help but do as told, my eyes averted and met his piercing blue orbs, I swear I felt like he was looking into my soul and him towering over my tiny figure wasn't helping at all, I felt so small and insignificant compared to him.He lowered his head until his breath was fanning my face.

Anthony and I were so close, I was so close to getting what I've been wanting since I was only 7 years old and two men just had to ruin it.Even though the water had helped control my urge to have Anthony there again, I knew it would be back again when I set my eyes on him. And only he could fix that which was a bummer because he kept being an asshole every chance he got.Finally finishing and pulling my hair into a ponytail, I got out of the bathroom and placed on a pair of a short denim shorts and tank top.
