I’d carried her out of the Harrington and brought her up here. The luxury suite would be ours for the duration of her stay.
We’d taken a hot shower together. I’d scrubbed her like I was removing all traces of Faulkner from her body—wanting nothing but my own scent on her.
My possessiveness was getting out of hand.
For now, Rue was mine.
She needed to know she was under my command. No other man could touch her unless I gave them permission.
And something told me I wouldn’t.
Just thinking of how she’d thrived and flourished in the Harrington Suite made me want her again.
Either way, we could never be together after this.
That thought felt like a knife to my throat.
“I can’t believe I’m here,” she whispered.
Running my fingers through her hair, I tried to soothe her back to sleep.
“Can I ask you something?” she said quietly.
“Sure.”
“Will you be staying tonight?”
“Have I not respected your needs?” I reached around and cupped her pussy.
“Yes.” She exhaled in a rush.
I kept my hand there. “How do you feel?”
“A little sore.”
“I meant emotionally?”
She looked over her shoulder at me. “I really…like you.” She let out a big sigh and turned away.
“Falling for your master is expected.”
She gave a frustrated sigh.
“Are you able to let go of him?” I asked.
“Faulkner?”
Yes, Faulkner. Only I’d not wanted his name mentioned in our private space.
“I only want you,” she said softly.
Kissing her head, I let that serve as my response.
How he’d given her over to me was something I’d never understand. Although, when the dark hour came for me to nudge her away, perhaps I would.
It was easy to be fascinated with Rue.
Enjoy her company.
