Delta nodded. Maybe? All of that sounded pretty awesome.
“Then guess what you do?”
“Spread my legs for you?” she guessed in a shaky whisper.
Nathan’s response to those words was so delicious. He rolled his eyes closed, and a humming sound emanated from his chest as he rolled his hips against hers with a groan. “Say that again.”
“You just need me to spread my legs for you.”
He inhaled deeply and pushed her hands slowly above her head and rolled against her again. She bet she could come just like this—with him rubbing against her. Deltas body was so sensitive around him now.
“Are you still mad at me?” he asked softly.
“Y-yes.”
“Mmm. I can fix that.” His voice dripped with confidence. “Do you trust me?” he asked, squeezing her wrists above her head gently.
“No.”
He froze. Three seconds passed and then he eased up and searched her eyes. “Truth.”
She didn’t respond. She couldn’t. All intelligent thought had left her. The wickedness retreated from his smile. Nathan released his grip on her wrists and backed off her, then settled onto the edge of the bed, troubled eyes on her.
“Did you ever trust me?” he asked.
“Yes,” she said honestly, sitting up. God, she felt so exposed right now under that unblinking gaze of his.
“And the trust is gone in one day? Truly?”
“The trust is gone in one action,” she whispered. “Truly. You threw me away. What is to keep you from throwing me away again? Things got a little hard, and instead of staying in it with me and being my teammate, you tried to give me away.”
He blinked and dragged his gold gaze from her and stared at the wall. “I really hurt you.”
Delta wrapped her arms around her middle. She didn’t like this anymore. It wasn’t fun banter. This conversationwas reminding her of what had happened between them that changed everything forever. “I think you should go.”
He inhaled sharply and stood, then made his way out the door, hesitated, and said, “Yeah.” And then he left and closed the door behind him.
The click of the wooden panel being set against the outside of the door was such a lonely sound, and it echoed through the room.
She felt as if a weight had settled onto her chest, and it was hard to draw a fair breath.
Delta listened as the engine of his truck roared to life, and she stayed still until she heard him drive down the road away from her den.
Nothing had changed since this morning. Sure, he was perhaps being more himself now, but he was still a stranger to her.
Hell,shewas a stranger to her. Tonight, she hadn’t even recognized herself.
This was how it was supposed to be. He was supposed to leave. She should’ve never let him in, but she’d been riding the high from the night. She’d made a mistake.
As her ears remained perked up, listening for any sign that he would return and fix this, a sudden sensation of loneliness consumed her.
Nothing had gone to plan.
Nothing at all.
