Over too soon…
Was he leaving now?
My tears had stopped, but not for long.
Only, he didn’t leave.
Something hot and damp brushed my cheek, rough but still pleasant. I almost recoiled when the truth of what it was settled on my mind. As he took the cloth and wiped my face and neck.
Knox was… he was wiping my tears.
Cleaning me off.
There was something so frighteningly gentle about it that another sob of panic caught in my chest.
“Shh.” His hand closed around my neck. “Look at me.”
Again, it was impossible not to listen, and those intense caramel irises swam into my vision as I managed to blink my eyes open in the dim room.
“You did so fucking good, Doll,” he told me.
“Did I?” The broken question sounded stupid after it tumbled out.
He flashed his beautiful smile. “Cross my heart.”
When he was done, I felt the blanket shift, and then he was there, his soothing touch wrapping around my waist as he dragged me close.
“Wh-what are you doing?” My voice was raw and cracked, shock breaking through everything for a second.
“This is what you wanted, isn’t it, Little Doll?” he asked as he drew me against him.
He was… was holding me?
I curled up tighter, frightened of my reaction to that.
“Do you want me to play with you some more?” he asked. “While you go to sleep.”
I didn’t answer, instead sinking back against him in need, the desperation I felt every time I heard those words, seizing me by the throat.
Take me back… I don’t want to be here anymore.
He wanted me.
He wanted me like no one has ever wanted me.
Even if it wasn’t real, that’s all that mattered, right now.
He hadn’t fucked me though, and that left me with its own insecurity, but I let out a sigh of comfort as his touch dropped between my thighs, offering me something, for the millionth time tonight, that I’d never been offered before.
A drug.
An addiction.
Something with razor teeth and claws. Something that would catch up to me.
“Let me help you go to sleep.”
I hugged Bunny closer as his fingers dipped into me, and the touch was enough to banish my fears. It shouldn’t have been so easy, but his purr was at my back, teeth occasionally brushing my neck, and my spent body was more tired than it had ever been.
