CHAPTER TWELVE

Elias

THAT WAS ONE question I hadn’t expected to be asked. Had I really said that to her?

While you were on your knees eating her out, if you recall...

I did recall. Her soft ass filling my palms, the perfect, salty-sweet taste of her pussy filling my mouth. Her moans and cries. The way she’d shifted, restless, unable to keep still as I kept her at the peak. ‘Please,’ she’d said. ‘Oh, please.’ And I swore, if she’d known who I was, she would have said my name because it was me she wanted.

Me. Not whatever fantasy was playing in her head.

I’d forgotten myself. I’d forgotten I wasn’t supposed to know who she was. I’d called her tenacious, because Vee always had been.

Fuck. She should have been out of her mind with pleasure, too blissed out even to take in what I’d said. Apparently not. Either I was losing my touch or she was far too sharp for her own good.

Sadly, when it came to Vesta, it was likely to be the latter.

I glanced down at her.

She sat in my lap, her head on my shoulder, relaxed and warm against me. The throw I’d put around her had slipped, baring one pale shoulder and an even paler round breast. She was delectable naked, all those sharp angles resolved into a womanly whole that went straight to my dick like alcohol to the brain on an empty stomach.

I’d have preferred it, obviously, if she’d answered my question about just what the fuck had driven her into this hotel room, but if I didn’t answer this it might start to look suspicious. And, since she already thought I was familiar to her in some way, that might be asking for trouble.

So I kept my voice calm and didn’t let on that she’d surprised me. ‘You know what tenacious means, right?’

‘Yeah, but you said “you’re tenacious, remember?”. Like you knew something about me.’

With an effort, I kept my muscles relaxed. ‘I don’t know anything about you. I was just telling you to be tenacious. No great mystery.’

It wasn’t a great mystery as to what her expression would be behind that blindfold, either. Her forehead would be wrinkled up the way it did when she was concentrating on something, usually a line of text she was struggling to read. But she never gave up. She’d work at it until she understood it and could read it.

I bet she was staring at me like that right now behind the blindfold, trying to read me. Had I convinced her? She was sharp. Too sharp.

The temptation was there to keep talking, keep on justifying, fill the silence, but that would only sound as if I was trying to cover something up, so I stayed quiet.

Eventually she made a little settling motion. ‘Well, okay then. You got it right, though—tenacious is my middle name.’

Was that relief? Maybe it was.

‘Lucky guess,’ I murmured. ‘Are you going to answer my question?’

‘About why I’m here?’

‘Yes.’

‘Hmm. Will I get a chocolate?’

She couldn’t see me, but I smiled anyway.
