CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

DEAN

My head pounds and I can’t even consider leaving Kate for a second. I take her hand once we are inside. She doesn’t stop me as I lead her to the bathroom.

I need a shower and I don’t trust her to be left alone. No doubt she will try to kill me again. I pull off my top and my side aches. I hear her loud intake of breath. Glancing in the mirror, I see my side is black and blue—I don’t think anything is broken. I can’t bend to take off my boots. Kate watches me struggle but doesn’t offer to do anything about it.

“Could you help take off my boots?” I hold on to the wall to steady myself and she doesn’t move. I grin. Of course she won’t help. I lower myself to the toilet and manage to pull them off.

“Take off your clothes,” I say. I don’t have the energy to force her and I’m surprised when the green army jacket hits the floor. I remove my boots and manage to pull off my socks. I don’t want her to see how bad I am, so I sit back and pretend to take her in as she pulls off the t-shirt. Her breasts bounce free as she observes me.

“I’d let you go if I could.” She freezes at my words and I mean them. If I could turn back the time, I’d let her go.

“You’re a liar.” Her words are quick as she kicks off her own boots.

“Kate,” I whisper her name. I’m not lying. I become transfixed as she pulls down her trousers and underpants. I use all my strength to stand and open the belt of my trousers before I push them down.

Kate steps into the shower and starts the water. My boxers pull down over my large erection. It feels too tight. I’ve wanted her so badly. I would have taken her in the field with all her anger but I didn’t want us to get caught.

I step in and her eyes skip to my erection before they travel back up to my eyes. Color tinges her cheeks.

She steps towards me and I can’t decipher what I see in her eyes. Pain, anger, lust, a realization? I’m not sure.

“My name is Scarlett. I’m twenty-one years old and I love the color green. Not mint green, or light green.” She shakes her head. “I like the green you’d find at the bottom of a blade of grass. The green that no one would ever put on their walls. I like that green. I hate birds and I’ve always wanted to let off those lanterns in the sky at night time, like they do in China.” She steps closer to me and I try to control my beating heart.

“This moment, right now, is my choice. So please, don’t take it from me.” She leans in and presses her lips against mine. I don’t want to kiss her back. I don’t want to give her that kind of control over me, yet my lips move under hers and my hands go to her waist.
