She didn’t fight me on it, either.
Guess she’d been doing a lot of thinking in that basement.
“I mean, does he at least dick you down well?” I asked.
She barked with laughter, her entire body coming to life with the chorus of a thousand singing angels. She teetered back along the railing, her legs outstretched as the wind kicked up. I wrapped one of my arms beneath her back, catching her as she released bubbles of laughter she simply couldn’t hold back. But, when the wind caught her body, it rocked her the other way.
Damn near sending her over the edge.
“Trooper!” she exclaimed.
She clung to me, holding onto my clothing for dear life. The happiness in her gaze quickly gave way to fear, and as she clutched my t-shirt, I wrapped my arms around her.
Preventing her from falling over an edge she had wanted to plunge herself over mere minutes ago.
“I gotcha,” I said as I cradled her close. “I’m not letting you go.”
She looked up at me from beneath those long eyelashes of hers. “You’re not?”
I shook my head. “No. Not ever.”
Her eyes danced between mine. “Outside of the other night, the last time I’d ever orgasmed like that was months ago.”
I shook my head. “That man shouldn’t be allowed to get married with those kinds of sins under his belt.”
She leaned her forehead into my chest. “Yeah, especially when he wakes me up with it.”
My grasp tightened around her. “Wakes you up with what?”
“Can you help me off this thing? My ass is going numb.”
I scooped her into my arms without a second thought and placed her onto her feet. “Wakes you up with what, Naomi?”
She refused to look at me, so I gripped her chin and forced her stare to mine.
“I won’t ask again,” I said, my voice lowering with very syllable.
She cleared her throat. “It doesn’t matter, anyway. Not like I’m ever going to see him again.”
I pulled her face so close to mine that her breath pulsed against my mouth. “What does he wake you up with, pretty girl?”
And as a whimper bypassed her parted lips, she said the two words that sealed his fucking fate.
“His dick,” she whispered.
Because those two little words told me everything I needed to know regarding how she felt about it.
“Enjoy the view,” I said as I released her.
“Where are you going?” she asked quickly.
I walked back inside. “Help yourself to the kitchen as well. Whatever you find, you can have.”
“Trooper!”
“And Naomi?” I asked as I spun around.
“Yeah?” she asked breathlessly.
