Chapter Twelve

Quinn crawled into bed next to Garen, rolled onto her stomach and propped herself up on her elbows. He looked perplexed for some reason, his brow furrowed and his eyes lost in thought. Well, she couldn’t blame him.

“Not exactly the delicate rose you thought, huh?”

He frowned. “What?”

“Me, you were hoping for the proper trembling, scared, let-you-take-the-lead

woman. Sorry to disappoint.”

Garen flipped onto his side and popped her on the ass, hard. She yelped from the sting and mostly from the sheer shock.

“I’ve been wanting to do that for a while now.” He smoothed his hand over the red spot blooming across her cheek.

“Like spanking, do you? I’ll keep that in mind.”

A look of worry zipped across his face and made her laugh.

“If I had been disappointed I would be the dumbest ass on the face of the earth. I just wasn’t expecting it. You’re always so reserved.”

“Can I tell you a secret?” He nodded, his eyes looking like a hopeful puppy’s. “That was new to me too. You just work me up into this tight ball of nerves and then leave me hanging. I figured this time I’d better take what I want.” She thought it odd she didn’t feel the least bit embarrassed by it now.

“I can see you now in a leather teddy, holes cut out for your lovely breasts, high heels and a whip.” He shivered. “God that gets me hot.”

Cocking her eyebrow, she stared at him. “So are we good now? No more insults

being hurled back and forth? Can we enjoy now and take what comes later?”

Leaning over, just inches from her upturned mouth, he whispered, “I can’t turn back now.” He kissed her quickly and then backed away. “Did you mean what you said about that bastard letting his friends see you tied naked to the bed?”

If she didn’t answer him he’d obsess about it, besides, she was the one who blurted it out like an idiot. “Yep. Look, Garen, I’m past all that. I’ve dealt with it and I don’t let it rule me. So ask the questions you want now and then let it drop.”

He studied her, his hot gaze sliding up and down her body. Already she could feel herself reenergizing for another go-around. He would take longer, she knew that but oh the fun they could have until he did.

“When you see yourself naked in the mirror, what do you see?”

The question surprised her. “Me, plain, ordinary, nothing special.”

“You don’t look at the scars and flinch or have flashbacks?”

“No. Like I said, I’m past that. The only problem I do have is being confined, held down and unable to get free. That’s why I panicked when had me pinned to the bed.”

She didn’t like admitting it but there it was.

“I’m so sorry.”

“Why? You didn’t know. Besides, I don’t think it’ll happen again with you.”

“You aren’t plain, by the way. You are incredibly sexy. Seeing you fight without clothes on, well, we could tape it and make millions in the porn industry.
