Page 104 of The Devastation You Reap

“So good,” she sighs as I press my thumb to her clit.

It only takes minutes for her to shatter once more, turning her head with my hand still in her hair, I swallow down her moans of pleasure as I kiss her.

"Turn around,” I whisper, releasing her so she can do just that.

Tilting her head back, I rinse out the shampoo before grabbing her bottle of conditioner and pouring some into my hands and running it through her long red locks.

Her eyes hold mine the entire time. Concern and her lingering desire darkens their usual bright blue.

“I’m okay,” I breathe in an attempt to rid her of the concern.

She nods, but I don’t think for a second that she believes me.

I rinse her hair once more before grabbing her coconut shower gel and squeezing it onto a sponge and getting to work on her body.

It’s not until I’ve scrubbed every inch of her that I hand it over to allow her to do the same to me.

Her scent surrounds me as her gentle touch rubs all over my skin and I can’t help but sigh in contentment.

I’m pretty sure I’ve never felt this relaxed in my life. But while I allow myself to drown in it for a few minutes, I know it’s not a feeling I can get used to.

I’m not here to carve out a future for the two of us. I’m here to get information so that I can finally put an end to the events of my childhood that have darkened every single one of my days since.

The second she’s finished, I turn the water off and step out, wrapping her in a towel and tucking another around my waist.

“Are you hungry?” she asks as we pad into her bedroom.

“Yeah.”Although not for food,I think as I watch her walk over to her dresser and pull out some clothes.

“Okay, I’ll order pizza.”

“You don’t have to, I can leave,” I offer, although really, I can’t think of anything worse than being alone right now.

“Leon, don’t do that.”

“What? You were in bed, weren’t you?”

“Yes. But if you need me, I’m right here.”

Her words make my chest ache.

Everything I wanted to achieve from the moment she barged in on me with Charlie last weekend is happening.

I’m breaking down her walls, making her trust me.

Only, what I wasn’t anticipating was just how bad it would make me feel.

I was expecting to hate her. That my memory of her from the past would be enough to keep me from liking her.

But then I discovered who she really is and when we're together, the past just melts away.

I nod at her, unable to speak through the lump in my throat. Dropping the towel, I grab my boxers and drag them up my legs before falling down on her bed.

I watch her every move as she pulls on a pair of panties followed by a tank and sleep shorts.

It’s a damn shame to cover up that banging body, but still, she looks unbelievably hot. And she has to know I think so because once again, my cock is trying to break free of my boxers.

Grabbing her cell, she taps away on the screen before announcing. “It’ll be here in thirty.”
