I didnât mean for it to happen again.
Locked doors suck, and how was I supposed to know heâd have episodes back to back like that? Two days apart. I truly didnât think heâd come in. I thought I was safe.
But once he opened the door, I couldnât find it in me to do anything but let it happen. I told myself every excuse in the book â itâs dangerous to wake him up, he deserves better than a doll, it feels so fucking good â but ultimately, I didnât try to fight him because I didnât want to.
As fucked up as it makes me, Iâve never been taken like that before. Iâve never felt half that turned on â and yeah, maybe part of it is the taboo, but most of it is just Adriel. The way he touches me even in his sleep, the growl in his voice when he speaks. The way he takes care of me even when he is awake.
Iâm still not ready to tell him and admit that in some ways, I feel like Iâm raping him by leaving the door unlocked. Whatâs the difference, really? He doesnât know itâs happening. He asked me to lock the door to keep him out. Other than that weird moment on the couch when he grabbed my chest, heâs never made a move on me awake.
This is wrong. Iâm wrong.
And thatâs what makes it so fucking hot right now.
I guess prison really did change me.
Shaking it off, I check out my simple jeans-and-a-black-tank-top outfit and call it good enough, leaving my room to find Adriel in the kitchen. Itâs hard to even look at him without my jaw throbbing uncomfortably, but Iâd rather fake it than face it. âCan you take me to work? Iâll get a ride home so you donât have to wait up,â I rasp, clearing my throat and hoping he doesnât fucking ask why Iâve half lost my voice. âIâm not sure what time Iâll be done.â
His eyes travel along my face, throat and ultimately stop at the mark he left behind between my neck and my shoulder. âFall out of bed or something?â he jokes, then moves on before I have to try and respond. âYeah, Iâll give you a ride and be your ride home.â
âMmhm.â Desperate to deflect, I add, âUnless you pick up a one-night stand.â
âMaybe a two-hour stand, but definitely not a whole night.â He winks at me with the dumbest smile on his face, making it hard not to follow up by asking him who will take care of his second wind if he doesnât stay for more.
In my experience, he needs two to be sated.
âOkay, Casanova. Just donât fuck her in the passenger seat. Thatâs my spot now.â
âOf course not. Let me just get real pants on and weâll head out.â
All that does is make my gaze flick down to the natural bulge in his pajama pants. God, I want him in my mouth again already.
Watching him go, I force myself to put last night from my mind and focus on whatâs coming.
