“Winona,” Mitchell commanded, like he knew.
I pulled my hand back. Fuck.
“Andwhat?” he probed.
I was in pain. The need was so intense it hurt. “She thinksshe’s being followed,” I blurted out. “She realizes it’s him and runs into that forest, but he catches her and…” I swallowed, twisting so my temple rested against the side of the tub, my eyes closed, breath coming in short pants. I gripped the edge of the tub so hard my knuckles were white.
“You’re almost there, Winona.”
“Fuck you.”
“Keep going.”
I took a shaky breath. “He pins her down and tells her she shouldn’t have run; that only bad girls run. But she planned it that way. She wanted him to chase her. She wanted him to…ravage her. And when he catches her, he just… does.”
“Does what?”
“Fucks her. Right there on the ground. Just jerks her pants down and has his way with her. Whispering in her ear… Oh my God, Mitchell, you know what happens. You’ve read it.”
“You okay, Winona?”
I was breathing hard into the phone. Am I okay? I had no idea. If this was what it was like on the phone with Mitchell, what would it be like in real life?
“No, Mitchell. I’m not okay.”
“What do you mean?”
“Enough of this. I’m ready.”
The line crackled. “Ready for what? To be friends?”
“Mitchell!” I snapped. “I want you to fuck me. Do not make me say it again.”
A beat passed.
I frowned. “Mitchell?”
“I’m here. I’m thinking.”
He was still pent up. I remembered I hadn’t let him even touch himself through all of this. “Do you need to…you know?”
“What?”
“Tocome,” I said. Why was I embarrassed after everything we’d just done?
“You’re the one who didn’t come, Winona.”
My body pulsed. “Don’t remind me.” Then I registered what he said. “Wait,youcame?” I gasped, indignant. “That’s not fair.”
“I never said I played fair.”
Heat rushed through me. “You weren’t supposed to move.”
“I didn’t move, Firecracker.”
“You… wait, you just spontaneously came? Is that possible?”
“With those dirty words coming out of those pretty pink lips, Winona? I came back when you sent me a picture of your pussy. When you were talking about taking me in your mouth. No man could survive that.”
