“She got what she wanted, too,” Derrick said. “A husband, a home, and life in the small town that she loved.”
Tina didn’t say anything. She wasn’t sure how to respond to that. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Derrick’s waist and pulled him closer.
“Are you okay?” he murmured; his lips pressed against her hair.
She nodded and buried her nose against his flannel, smelling the fresh, clean scent of his soap and skin. He gave her comfort that she never needed or wanted from a man before. She’d always been so self-sufficient that it genuinely confused her when her colleagues or friends talked about getting support from a partner. She understood it now even though Derrick was technically not her partner. He wasn’t here anything. Well, maybe her obsession but that was it.
“I hate that all of this happened, but I feel like this could probably explain why your brother feels a certain way about Logan in the house,” Tina finally said. “Maybe the dreams and the sex are a way to get back at him.”
“It could be. I have this strange sense that there’s something more to the story.”
“What more could there be?” Tina asked.
“I don’t know.” Derrick’s strokes grew firmer until Tina felt like he was massaging the tense muscles in her shoulders and lower back. “You’re going to have to relax, sweetheart. We still have some digging before you tell Logan.”
“I don’t know if I can,” Tina whimpered. How was she supposed to go into Logan’s room now with the knowledge that she’d just been given?
“You can,” Derrick said. There was that edge again; the serrated blade of his tone had her looking up at him. There was a glint in his eyes, and she immediately felt her body respond.
Derrick’s eyes remained locked on hers as he gripped her shoulders, massaged them for a second, and then pushed down. Her knees buckled, and she lowered to the floor.
“You’ll have to be quick, okay?”
Tina nodded, eager for him. It was as if he’d flipped a switch inside her and now all she wanted, all she needed, was his cock in her mouth. It was embarrassing how wet she became so quickly. How she knew that the stress, the tension of not seeing him for so long, of hiding the truth from her fiancé, of watching Logan get hurt, could all go away because of this man.
Derrick unbuckled his belt and quickly unzipped his fly. He was already visibly hard, thick, and long. It would hurt, hitting the back of her throat the way that Damien had fucked her mouth in the basement.
She wanted that hurt so bad.
“Take it out,” he said.
Her fingers trembled, but she lowered the band of his briefs and gripped his cock in her hands. With her eyes locked on Derrick’s, she leaned forward and licked the tip where the bead of pre-cum had already formed. He twisted in her palms, hardening even further.
Tina didn’t ask for permission. Rising taller on her knees, wrapped her lips around his cock head and sucked him inside as far as she could. With tongue and lips working overtime, she also used both of her hands to stroke him up and down as he guided her head. His fingers dug in her hair, sometimes brutally yanking her head back and forth to set the pace until he was hitting the back of her throat and making her gag and drool all over him.
For a moment, minutes, hours, centuries, her concern and guilt for a man she didn’t love no longer flickered like an errant thought in her mind. She was too busy getting her mouth fucked by a man who knew exactly what she needed and wasn’t afraid togive it to her. She reveled in the sound of his moan, of his dirty words as he called her his slut and murmured in excruciating detail how he planned on taking her cunt. Her hand slipped into the band of her panties, and she flicked her clit vigorously. When she looked up and met Derrick’s eyes, she saw the same hardness she’d come to expect with his brother, but there was also real affection there that only the twin who was living could give her.
“You’re my little slut, right sweetheart?” he crooned as his grip in her hair tightened. “My fuck hole.”
He knew exactly what to say to make her so wet that her arousal dripped over her fingers. She rubbed herself harder, sucked his dick as deep and hard as she could until both of them came at the same time on muffled cries and words of praise.
Later, after she cleaned up and Derrick kissed her despite her mouth tasting salty with his cum, she returned to Logan’s room and curled up on the chair at his bedside while he slept.
Chapter
Twelve
Tina slept like shit that night at the hospital. She could’ve gone back to the house, but she was still engaged, still committed to Logan. Not to mention the guilt that plagued her. Even if she was giving her body to another man and the love had gone, there was still a promise to be there and take care of him. So she curled up in the chair and went to sleep to the sound of Logan’s deep breathing and the soft chime of the BP machine that went off every hour.
When she woke for the last time the next morning, Logan was sitting up in bed, a cup of coffee in his hand that a nurse must’ve brought him. He was staring at her, quiet and pensive. There were dark smudges under his eyes, as if he’d had just as difficult a night sleep as she had.
Which couldn’t be true. She saw that he was sleeping whenever she woke to check on him. Right?
Before she could ask him if something was wrong, the attending physician walked in to complete the final exam. Tina sat and waited as he was poked and prodded and cleared for discharge. Then she sat and waited while the nurse went over discharge instructions.
Finally, she got up and retrieved the car so that he could be wheeled downstairs and escorted out of the hospital. The whole time, Logan remained silent. He didn’t even utter an irritated retort when she needed help to get him into the passenger’s seat since his arm was in a sling. He also remained silent when they got stuck in construction traffic, and hehatedtraffic. He always used it as an excuse to complain about being back in the country.
She had to wonder if he knew something, knew anything, about the secrets that she was keeping. Had he found her out?
