“How?”
“Sometimes I’d readnewspaper clippings about what happened in Fort Wills.Our nighttogether, you told me that was where you lived.”
He’d never told anyone that, not evenRebecca.“I told you a great deal, didn’t I?”
“Not a lot.You didn’t tellme why you were seeing Rebecca.”She paused, and her body wenttense.The tightening of her body squeezed his dick, and hegroaned.
“I’ve got to take off thecondom,” he said, tapping her thigh.He eased out of her, andremoved the condom, throwing it in the trash before sliding backin, wrapping his arms around her.“Why did you gotense?”
“That night we weretogether, you spoke of your feelings for me.”She looked up at him,and her cheeks were red.“You told me how much you liked me, thatyou thought I was beautiful, and even though Rebecca thought shewas better than me, it wasn’t the case.”Tears once again filledher eyes.“You told me that if you weren’t so busy, you’d havetried to make me yours forever.”
“I knew who youwere?”
“Yes.It was only in themorning that you forgot who I was.”
“I didn’t mean for shitlike that to happen,” he said.
“I get that now.I alwaysblamed myself.You were drunk, and I knew you wouldn’t remember.Well, I hoped you would, but when you woke up, I knew that youdidn’t have the slightest idea of who I was.”
Locking their fingers together onceagain, Gash sighed.“Everything fucked up around us.”
“What were you looking forback then?”she asked.
“My brother.Tiny wanted meto make sure he wasn’t causing any trouble.”
“Did you ever find yourbrother?”
“No.”
Charlotte didn’t say anything moreabout that.Minutes passed, and he held her tightly againsthim.
“Gash?”Charlotteasked.
“What, baby?”
“Will we beokay?”
“Yes, you can count onit.”

The following day, Charlotte stared upat the large building that was supposed to house Jeff and Rebecca.Glancing down at the piece of paper that Gash had given her, shelooked at the large building.“Are you sure about this?”
“I’m more thansure.”
“Jeff and Rebecca weren’twealthy.”
“It makes you wonder whothey were working for,” Gash said.
She stared at the man who had stolen herheart within hours of being in her life once again.Seven yearsago, he’d come into her world fucking another woman, and she hadfallen for him just as easily.What was it about Gash that she wastoo weak to walk away from?
Last night, she had fallen asleep in hisarms, happy and safe.Throughout the night, he woke her up to makelove, and fuck her.He alternated between taking her hard and slow.She loved every second of it.His cock was so big, and he knew whatto do with it.After seven years of not being with anyone, Gash hadawakened her once again.
“You think someone else isbehind what happened back then?”Charlotte asked.
“Seeing this shit, I’m convincedof it.”He pulled into the underground parking, typing in the codethat she imagined Whizz had given to him.
They pulled up, and Charlotte took adeep breath.
