Chapter Ten

Keys clank when Adam opens the door to a cell that holds a cot with a wool blanket and a calendar hanging on the wall. The last resident had marked red x’s through the dates leading up to yesterday. I wonder if he was pardoned or transferred to prison.

Adam opens my cuffs and removes them from my wrists. Before I move away from him, he catches me with one arm around my waist. He draws me in slowly, and it’s like a dance, a sad pirouette from a disgraced ballerina.

When my breasts touch his chest, I bite back the tears. Last night seems so very far away. He holds me, his hands splayed across my back, and I breathe him in, knowing it could be the last time we’re this close.

He pulls back and lifts my chin with two fingers. We stare into one another’s eyes before the distance between us evaporates. The air morphs into a vacuum, and we need to be close to breathe. His hands capture my face, and his lips take mine in a bruising kiss that’s part anger, part desperation.

I feed off his emotions, fisting my hands in his hair and arching my body against his. Will this be our last connection? The question resounds in my head as he slams me into the iron bars. I grip them behind me, the contrast of cold welcome against the heat singeing my skin.

We leave words behind, our bodies becoming our only means of communication. Adam lifts my blouse over my breasts but doesn’t remove it. Anyone could walk in. See us. His career would be destroyed. I try to protest, to remind him, but he’s on fire, igniting me.

His hands claim every inch of my body, and I’m panting when he lowers the zipper on my jeans. We shouldn’t do this. Common sense is a whisper in the back of my mind, but this all-consuming hunger speaks louder. It demands satisfaction.

Adam lifts me, his hot hands cupping me as he swings me around to the painted brick wall. I hear the sound of his zipper. And I reach for him, grasping any part of him I can. Just needing the contact of flesh against flesh.

Our bodies come together in a mad rush of slick heat and punishing strokes. Each thrust fuels his fury, but I welcome it. It’s a feeling. Something I can cling to. He wouldn’t be angry if there wasn’t something uniting us. A reason he wants to save me.

My release comes too soon. I bite into his shoulder to quell my cries, but he doesn’t hold his in. When his body sags against mine, I cradle his head and kiss the top. It’s the final brief moment before he lowers my feet to the floor.

In silence, we restore our clothing. He kisses me once more, a sweeter touch of his lips against mine, then walks out of the cell, closing it behind him.

The heavy clang sounds so final that tears spring to my eyes.
