Chapter 16

Tearing Down Walls

Bethany fought the panic zinging through her body.

This was Alistair.

Alistair wouldn’t hurt her. He wasn’t one of them—her ex’s.

His lips tugged and sucked, and her hips rose despite the battle in her brain. God, it felt good. Incredible. How had this man pushed his way into her life and torn down the wall she’d held firmly in place for ten years?

Nobody touched Black Betty like this.

Nobody penetrated that wall.

Except Alistair Ingram.

Her body started to tremble. Her hands, fisted in the sheets, let go and wove into his hair pulling him even closer. Heat gathered under his mouth, radiating deep inside where his fingers worked, gently stroking and pressing.

Oh, God. No. This couldn’t happen.

Bethany jolted up, pushing him away and scrambling up the bed.

On his hands and knees, Alistair licked his lips, taking in her expression. “Please don’t,” he said. “I only want to make you feel good, Bethany.” Slowly, he crawled toward her. “You were shaking, but this time it wasn’t because you were afraid.”

Alistair sat back on his heels when he reached her. Carefully, he stretched his arm out and trailed his fingers down her leg, from her knee to her ankle. “It’s okay to feel good. I won’t use it against you. It’s as much for me as it is for you.” Little by little, he inched forward until he was beside her against the headboard. “I want to give this to you.”

The tense muscles in her arms, wrapped protectively around her chest, relaxed under his sincere gaze. “Why?”

“Because I need it.” He brushed a lock of hair back over her shoulder. “You need it.”

He wasn’t making any sense. “Why would you need this?”

He pressed his lips together and held her eyes. She could see his thoughts swirling. “I take everything I want, all the time. It all comes easy for me. It wasn’t always that way. When I first moved here from London, I took shitty parts in commercials and worked as a pool boy for a director who had a few decent movies under his belt.”

Alistair rubbed his forehead, his eyes wandered to her hand where he was playing with a silver ring on her finger. “I was his bitch for two years,” he said, a hint of his British accent tumbling over his tongue. “Got me nowhere. When I finally landed the movie,” his eyes flickered back to hers, “which we won’t name because I hate remembering it, I was ready to move back and work for my dad’s marketing firm.”

Bethany sank into the pillows behind her, as he laced his fingers between hers.

“I fell hard into the movie star lifestyle,” he said. “Or what I thought was the movie star lifestyle. Drinking and drugs and women. I was a debaucherous whore. I hated myself, but what I hated more were all the people kissing my ass day and night.”

Alistair scooted closer, laying back into the pillows beside her and bringing their joined hands up to rest on his chest. “Why do people do that? Kiss celebrities’ asses because they’re on T.
