CHAPTER TWELVE

Gabriel slapped a hand on the table beside Honor, bracing himself as the after effects of the orgasm ricocheted through him. He was shaking.

Holy fuck. What the hell was wrong with him?

He stared down at her. She lay facedown on the table, her skirt bunched around her waist, revealing the smooth, white skin of her perfect ass. Her head was turned to the side, an inky black veil of hair hiding her face. She didn’t move and shit, he didn’t think he could either. He was still inside her and the feel of her body clasping him tightly was threatening to make him hard all over again.

How had it happened? He’d wanted to stop her from leaving so he could get that fucking information about Tremain.

Except she’d wanted to protect her stepfather. Which had made him so angry. What had that prick done to deserve her loyalty? Especially when she was faced with the evidence that the man hadn’t been who she’d thought. He’d wanted to tell her then, all about his mother. About what that bastard had done to her.

But he hadn’t. She’d been soft and warm in his arms, shock and betrayal written all over her face. Because Jesus, she hadn’t only been let down by the man she thought of as a father, but she’d also found out her actual father’s secrets went deeper than anyone had ever guessed. He’d wanted to give her something then. Something to take away her anguish. And the only thing he could think of to give had been pleasure.

Except he’d forgotten what she did to him. Forgotten how the taste of her, the sound of her crying his name, got under his guard. Totally screwed with his detachment.

How intoxicating it was to have her surrendering her control to him. Fuck, he’d felt like God himself when all the tension had gone out of her and she’d given herself up to him.

Trusting him.

A cold hand squeezed around his chest. Shit, he couldn’t breathe.

She couldn’t trust him. She couldn’t.

Gabriel withdrew and shoved himself away from her. He walked quickly into the hallway and went into the bathroom, dealing with the condom before going to the sink and turning on the faucet. He splashed some water onto his face, his hands still shaking.

This was insane. Okay, so there was something about Honor that really got to him. That made him want to take her rough and hard, imprint himself on her in some way. Rip away that controlled exterior and force her to acknowledge him.

He didn’t know why he needed that from her. It didn’t make any sense. She was just a woman and he’d had women before. Many women.

But not like this. Not with their hands behind their backs and their feet off the ground.

Shit. Screwing her was not supposed to be the goal here. Information was. Which made him escaping into the bathroom ridiculous, especially after making such a big deal about her staying.

Gabriel dried his face off with a towel
