~ 14 ~

Lara woke to lassitude and disorientation. She didn’t know where she was, and the whole world seemed heavier to her. She felt heavier, and loose in all her joints, as if her body had been stretched and folded and filled with sand while she’d slept.

Then she heard a familiar sound—the garbage truck emptying the dumpster on the lot behind her own apartment building—and reality fell into place, balls tumbling into chutes.

She wasn’t alone.

Opening her eyes, she saw a large, masculine hand resting on her belly. The weight of its arm on her side—that was the heavy feeling she hadn’t been able to identify. That, and the overall presence of the body in bed with her, in this room with her. The male body.

Trey.

She’d had sex for the first time in six years. Three and a half months after the Bondaruks had taken her and raped her. She’d slept in her own bed, her own home, for the first time since that day. With Trey Pagano.

How did she feel about that? What did she think?

Picking up his hand in both of hers, she studied it. A nice hand. Strong and well formed, with smooth, well tended nails, blunt at the tips of his fingers. Long fingers, but not thin. In the new sunlight, she saw a faint spray of blond hairs where his hand met his wrist.

His hand was proportional to his large body, which was so much bigger than hers. She could feel his body behind, above, around hers, like a shelter. He was well-proportioned everywhere. And strong. She’d felt every ounce of his strength in the way his body had moved on hers, felt the flex of his arms and legs, his back, his chest, seen the corded tendons in his neck as she’d floated down from a crashing, mind-melting orgasm. She’d seen care and desire and need flashing lights in his green eyes. She’d felt it in his mouth, all over her body.

What did she think? She thought this man was not like other men. Or he was like few others.

How did she feel? She felt that she loved him.

But she’d never felt such a thing before, romantic love, and there were details and elements she hadn’t studied yet. Before she made a feeling so potent known, she had to know it for herself first. To be sure.

Bringing his hand up, she pressed her face to his palm and kissed it. She could smell herself on him. The scent recalled the feel of his hand between her legs, and she grew wet again.

Oh, this was such a change in her life. Momentous and terrifying. A sea change.

His hand stirred in her hold, and behind her, Trey hummed a quiet moan and took a breath that woke his body. “Hey,” he murmured, not as confused as she was on first waking, “It’s morning.” He kissed her shoulder. “How are you?”

Lara rolled in his arms, lying on her back. He lifted onto his elbow and hovered over her, smiling.
