It can’t. But that doesn’t mean I’m not imagining all the ways I want to do it.
Heartbreaker
The ways I would have you.
Heartbreaker
I would fuck you so good, Daisy Adair, it’d erase every trace of that bastard from your body. I’d make you feel so good you’d forget there was ever any pain.
I squirmed on his bed.
For a man who rarely spoke, his words sure had a way of getting to me.
But I could feel him coming apart, too. The shields he wore peeling back layer by layer.
Me
I’m tired of the pain.
Heartbreaker
I’d take it all away if I could.
Me
I’d take yours away, too.
Heartbreaker
With that sweet, tempting body that’s driving me out of my mind?
Crap. What were we doing? What happened in his bathroom had been impulse. An urge that neither of us could resist. Borne of the years of separation and the fear I felt at seeing him harmed.
But this…
Me
Is that what you think? I’m tempting?
I thought I felt the reverberation of his growl from all the way across the house.
Heartbreaker
You’re the greatest temptation I’ve ever faced. Make me lose focus. Make me lose sight. You always have.
Fibers of grief and greed were spun into the words.
Me
I never wanted to be a burden to you.
A flash of severity blistered through the air.
Heartbreaker
Burden? Last thing you are is a burden. You’re a gift that is my duty to protect. And the only thing I want to do right now is taint you with these dirty hands.
Heartbreaker
