Page 44 of Only for Him
I can feel his anger that I’m sitting here with Teddy.
His jealousy that I dare to laugh at what Teddy is saying.
I shift in my chair and glance at the window. It’s full dark outside now, the neon sign of the bodega across the street flickering.
There!
Under the awning, just outside the light.
Broader than the door frame, hood up, hands in pockets, the posture of someone who knows exactly how much space he occupies. I can’t see his eyes from here, but I don’t need to.
I know they’re blue.
My pulse goes triple-time. I feel his gaze drilling into my skull.
In a blink, I’m back in the bathroom with him. But this time, I let him bend me over the toilet to fuck me until I don’t have to be Giselle anymore, and can be exactly what he’s making me.
Hislittle viper.
Teddy follows my gaze, but all he sees is the street.
“What’s wrong?”
I swallow, try to find the words, but they tangle up with the whiskey.
“I have to go,” I say, but I’m already half out of my seat.
Teddy reaches out, hand meeting my shoulder, and I twist away from the touch so sharply it looks like he’s assaulting me rather than providing comfort.
He pulls back, concern on his face. “Giselle?”
“I have to go,” I say again.
He stands, blocking me for a second. “You need me to walk you home?”
“No.” I shake my head. “I’m fine. Thanks for the drinks.”
He looks wounded, but he knows better than to argue. “Call me if you need anything, okay?”
“I will. And I’m…” I nod, already backing away. “I’m sorry.”
I wish I can tell him more. I want to warn him to be careful. I want to apologize for putting him in danger, for what my stalker might do to him, and for the slickness that is already leaking from my pussy.
Outside, the air is cold, snapping me back into focus. My stalker is no longer there, but I can feel the residue like the ghost of a handprint on my skin.
My thumbs dance furiously on my burner phone screen as I walk.
He’s just a friend.
Message read. But he doesn’t respond.
Nothing more.
Message read. But he doesn’t respond.
Don’t hurt him.
Message read. But he doesn’t respond.
