REBECCA

Andrew was nursing a pretty serious hurt. After our conversation at the top of the art gallery he seemed to withdraw into himself. I didn’t like to see him so quiet, knowing I was responsible for dredging up old feelings, but I didn’t regret asking him about his motivations. I wanted him to see that his rule was inhibiting him finding a real connection. He might deny that he wanted that but I could see the fear in his eyes when he talked about it. He was just like me; probably burnt by a past relationship and allowing that damage to impact the way he was living his life, and not for the better.

We decided against going up the Shard. The mood had changed so I suggested going back to my place, mainly so Andrew could collect his things, but when we arrived he came in and stood awkwardly in hallway.

“Shall I make us tea?” I asked, sensing he didn’t want to leave immediately, despite his driver waiting outside.

“Yeah. Thanks,” he said, following me into the kitchen. He seemed uncertain, almost uncomfortable in his own skin, so I chattered aimlessly about a project I’d been asked to lead at work and a holiday I had planned with Marnie and Abbey. When I turned to pass him his tea he was staring at me intently.

“Are you okay?” I asked, knowing that he wasn’t but that he would probably deny it anyway.

“Yeah, absolutely,” Andrew replied, shaking his head a little and forcing a smile onto his face. I was filled with tenderness for him; dangerous feelings. I rested the tea on the counter and put my hand against his cheek. Andrew closed his eyes and breathed deeply.

When he opened them, his gaze was filled with liquid heat and before I could react he was on me, hands in my hair, lips pressed roughly to mine, body forcing us both backwards until my back hit the counter hard enough to bruise. He felt desperate in his intensity, mouth moving so deep and hard I thought I tasted blood. Everything was clawing and feverish between us; right and wrong, bitter and sweet, filled with hurt and longing. I held his face between my hands, and then grasped his shoulders, feeling the coiled strength in his muscles and the burning heat of his body. He hoisted me up by the thighs, carrying me towards my bedroom with a fierce haste that told me so much. This was about more than just sex otherwise he wouldn’t be breaking his own rule. I’d poked at his vulnerabilities and woken up a man who was raw with hurt and angry with me too. I could feel it in the roughness of his touch as he cast me onto the bed and grabbed at the waistband of my jeans, pinching the skin of my stomach as he fumbled with the fastenings and pulled them off. I was burning with desire for him, lost in my lust and in the darkness of his pain and mine.
