 Ellie opened her mouth to speak but there were no words to take away the bitter expression on his handsome face. She’d helped put it there and no excuse could change the past. She stared at him and closed her mouth. Fury’s focus lowered to her chest. The hesitation only slight until he raised his hand to cup her breast again, held it gently, and she arched her back to press tighter against his palm. His gaze returned to hers.“I want you. I hate it but I hurt to be inside you, to know what it would feel like to have you wrapped around me, and the pleasure I think I could find with you. I’ve never wanted a woman more. Tell me I can have you or help me remember that I can’t ever forgive what you did to me.

She saw so

After a shower and some food, I collapsed on Dastien’s bed.A towel was wrapped around his waist, but as water dripped down his abs, I found it hard to concentrate.“Let me get dressed.”I squeezed my eyes shut. We’d have time for us later. Now was not the moment. He opened and shut some drawers. “Dressed,” he said, and I opened my eyes.You okay? He asked through the bond, and I felt his wave of concern.The bond is back. I really like being able to do this creepy, silent-talking thing with you.He leaned down, brushing a kiss against my forehead. “Now, tell me something.”“What?”“What did you know about the fight before it started?
