Not that any of them minded.
After taking a quick shower, I get dressed in a plain white t-shirt and blue jeans. I apply a little bit of makeup with palettes sitting on a small shelf above the sink, even though I know I’m not allowed to go anywhere except around the property.
It’s then that I realize I haven’t had the urge to run since I’ve been here. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.
My bedroom door, once again, is unlocked. My stomach feels a lot better after getting a night’s sleep, but now I’m starving since I didn’t get to eat last night.
Opening the fridge, I’m careful not to look at the shelf holding the liver, but when my eyes—accidentally on purpose—fall to the spot where the vacuum-sealed organ was, I see that it’s empty.
“Thank God,” I mutter, sighing with relief. If I had to see that thing one more time, it would be game over.
“Good mornin’, darlin’,” Lee drawls as he strolls into the kitchen.
I look up at him and give him a small smile. “Good morning. I know I already told you, but—”
He shakes his head, holding up a hand to cut me off. “I already told you, I’d do it for anyone.” He steps closer until his chest is just barely grazing mine. “But especially you.”
Something in my stomach flutters. I want to squirm beneath the heat of his gaze. I can practically hear his filthy thoughts as his eyes travel over my body.
“You’re not wearing Ezra’s clothes anymore.” He says it as a statement, but I can’t tell if he’s disappointed or not.
“Sad you can’t see my nipples through my shirt now?” I tease.
His hazel eyes find mine again, and this time, my insides turn to jelly. “Very,” he murmurs.
I want to melt right into the palms of his hands. Wetness pools between my legs, and I have to cross them to keep it in place. Lee doesn’t miss the move. He steps towards me again, and I have no choice but to back up until I’m flush against the wall on the opposite side of the kitchen. He’s pressed himself fully against me now, the hardness of his body flat against my soft curves.
My breathing quickens as he leans in, hands braced on the wall on either side of my head, and grazes his lips over the edge of my jaw. I shiver as his beard tickles my flushed skin, and I let my eyes fall closed, leaning my head back against the wall. He takes that as an invitation to start the most wicked assault on my exposed neck.
His barely there caresses quickly turn to full on kisses. My lips part as my breathing quickens. His lips are so soft and warm against my heated flesh. I instinctually grab his waist and pull him closer, dragging a ragged groan from deep in his chest. He puts his thigh between my legs, and I gasp as the hardness of his erection presses against my lower stomach.
He grips my waist with his large hands and holds me in place as he devours my neck. Soft, sweet kisses turn to a complete ravaging as he bites into my flesh. I hiss, but instead of pushing him away from me, my hands go into his soft hair and pull. He moans against me but doesn’t stop. He sucks and licks until I’m moaning softly and breathlessly beneath him. My panties are soaked, and his cock is practically bursting out of his jeans.
“Lee,” I breathe. I don’t even know what I want to say. Am I worried Ezra will find us like this? What will he do when he finds out about this? Because he most definitely will. He’s got eyes all over this house, and his men won’t hesitate to report what they’ve seen to him.
It shouldn’t matter. Just because I’m here doesn’t mean we’re together. He hasn’t made any attempt to get back in my good graces. Except…
Last night, I remember him coming into my room and lying next to me. I’d woken up, thinking I was going to be sick again. He’d smoothed my hair out of my face and kissed my forehead, whispering that he would take care of me, that nothing would ever happen to me.
When he told me I was safe with him, I believed him.
And I think Lee must be able to read my train of thought, because he abruptly stops and pushes himself away from me. The two of us stare at each other, panting and turned on. My skin is on fire from where his hands and lips touched me.
“I’m sorry,” he says, looking down at the floor. He’s ashamed.
“Don’t be.”
He shakes his head. “I shouldn’t have… I shouldn’t have touched you without permission first. I shouldn’t have touched you,” he says again.
Because of Ezra, is what he doesn’t say.
I chuckle. “If I didn’t want you touching me, Lee, I would have told you to stop.”
He looks up at me, eyes filled with lust. “I should go before I do something that will get me killed.”
Even though I’m disappointed, I smile again. “I understand.”
With a wink, he leaves the kitchen. Once his footsteps fade away, I collapse on the island and press my hot cheek against the cool marble top.
