Her hands stilled—it seemed my voice was enough to kick her free of whatever she thought about.I tore my gaze from her cunt, moving up her body to her wide eyes.
Normally, people would cover themselves, but she just lay there, frozen in place.
And just like that, I was pretty sure I’d just fallen for her.
Chapter Thirty-Three
Yun
I wanted to crawl into a hole so small that I could never escape it.
I’d been scared before, hated where I’d ended up, but I’d never experienced humiliation like this.
It was good to know that no matter how crazy my life got, there were still times I got to experience something totally new.
Ingram stood there, in the doorway, staring at me like I was the most delicious meal he’d ever laid eyes on.I didn’t come close to believing that, though, since I knew he had more than his share of women in his background.I wasn’t nearly confident or foolish enough to think I was the prettiest girl around, so I didn’t get the reason for him staring like that’.
The strangest part of it was the tension there, between us.
I recalled when another esper had walked in on me in the shower.It had been an honest mistake—at least, his shock had made it seem that way—but when he’d spotted me, he’d gotten a door slammed in his face.I hadn’t needed to think twice about it, making my feelings and rejection beyond clear.
This was different.
This sparking electricity ran between us, something that pinned me in place, that made me wonder…what if?
I couldn’t answer that.Fuck, I didn’t even know what I was asking exactly.What if I didn’t turn him away?What if I gave in, just a little, and experienced something for the first time?
I’d never wanted that before, had never even been tempted by the idea.It had turned my stomach, made me flinch away and react by baring my teeth.
This time, though?I wondered what it felt like, how it would end if I gave in.
“Curious?”His voice came out rough and low, making him sound like the predator he was.
I dragged my tongue across my lips then nodded, unable to lie, to deny it.What would be the point?There was no way he couldn’t read it on my face.
There were times to lie and times to just admit the truth—half-naked and legs spread seemed like as good a time as any to admit it.
Especially to Ingram.
I might have felt differently if Kenyon stood there, or Carter, but Ingram?The man was a walking dildo from what I’d seen, so I had no reason to feel self-conscious about anything.
His lips curled up on one side into a smirk that made my heart speed faster.He took a step forward, the action causing me to scoot further away up on the bed.
He tilted his head, his smile dimming for a moment before he slid shut the useless door again—this time with him on the inside.“You’re still gonna play that whole no-touching game?”
I gulped, but nodded.Sure, this was embarrassing enough, but I didn’t think I could handle the idea of him actually putting his hands on me.That was too much space for me to cross, no matter how it might tempt me.
And I didn’t want to lose control and end up hurting him.
He came closer, seating himself at the end of the bed, his gaze intense and locked on me.It made him a monster, and me?The prey that he chased.Was this what they saw before they died?
No,that wasn’t it.He was a stealth specialist—they saw nothing before they died.
“Go on, then.You don’t let anyone else touch you, so I want to see you doing it yourself.I want to see your fingers between your legs, rubbing that pretty little clit of yours again.”
“And you’ll just sit there?”Boy, did I sound untrusting.
Not that anyone would blame me.Who would trust him?Especially with that smirk?
