Chapter Twelve

He took the cloth from her and, ignoring her threat, lifted one leg from the water. She had to grab the sides of the tub to keep her head out of the water. “It may mean nothing to you, but it means something to me. You see,” he said, letting her leg slide back into the warmth, “I’ve slid down so far into letting the visions, and the powers and the needs they bring, rule my life, that satisfaction has eluded me for some time. Oh, I love to fuck,” he said with a wicked laugh, one that made her body throb, “and the release is pleasurable, but…”

He washed the other leg and placed it back in the water, motioning for her lean up. Caught up in his explanation, she did so, baring her back to him. Moira waited for his reaction, but he did not hesitate. Scooping more soap onto the cloth, he began to move in swirling motions across her shoulders and down her back. The movements were so soothing she could have fallen asleep at that moment.

“Until I found this green-eyed woman standing outside my chambers and learned her body and spent a day and most of a night pleasuring her and being pleasured by her, I did not realize how much I had been missing with my mindless swiving of any woman I could bring to me.”

She found breathing difficult as he described what had happened between them. And waiting for his hand to move lower across her back and lower yet caused her body to ache as she remembered that day. It had been about passion and more. That spark between them. His endurance and the heights of pleasure reached. The way her body begged her to stay in his bed in spite of everything that could not be. He stopped then, and she almost leaned into his hand to make it move again.

“I am keeping you until I discover why it was different with you.” He moved the cloth again now, and she took in a hitching breath, shaking her head.

“I am keeping you because you know more about me than I do myself, and I want you to trust me enough to tell me.” The warmth spread at his declaration, even while she tried to keep his words from sinking in too deeply. It could not work. There could be nothing between them other than hatred.

“I am keeping you until I find a way to make you forgive me for what I have done to you.”

She shook her head harder then and began to pull away from his touch and from his words. “It cannot happen. There can be nothing between us.” She would repeat it as many times as it took for him to realize the truth…and as many times as it took to convince her wayward heart and soul, for they wavered now under his assault.

“Lean back,” he ordered, softly, but she understood he would be obeyed in this.

She leaned back, lounging almost against the end of the tub, and waited for his next touch.
