Chapter Eleven

When Dempster woke up, he refused to open his eyes. Though he hadn't seen it, he knew there was sunlight piercing the window, and knew that if his eyes drank it in his head was gonna start pounding. It already ached as it was.

He could hear her in the room with him, walking here and clanking, walking there and ruffling clothes. The sound of a bifold closet door opening was followed by a contemplative sigh.

His eyes eased open and light spilled into them, causing brief pain though not as much as he'd expected. Blinking enough for his vision to accept reality, he saw Carly standing at the closet with her back to him, wearing pink cotton panties and nothing else. He watched her peruse her wardrobe, select a khaki sundress with poppy flower print on it, consider it, replace it, and remove a soft turquoise cap sleeve pleated shirt. She glanced over her shoulder at him, saw he was awake, and smiled.

"Good morning," she said. Her voice was smooth and cool. She raised a seductive eyebrow, tossed the shirt onto the foot of the bed as she stepped around it and sat beside him. She leaned over him, kissed him once, and then hovered there, smiling.

He ached to draw her to him, to blindly take her again as he did last night. He studied the smile, studied her eyes, and found himself pulled into them. He allowed them to swallow him, her smile to taste him, to chew him up.

He sat up.

She didn't move, didn't speak, just looked at him.

He threw away the bedclothes, but before he could get up she was on top of him. He struggled, tried to push her away but she kept him down, pressing her soft skinned body against his. Her lips found his mouth. Her eyes went feral, and all of a sudden he found his heart pounding, heat blazing through him. He breathed hard, reached around her and held her tight, not ever wanting to let go as their bodies writhed, first off rhythm, then synchronized.

She reached a hand down to remove her panties.

Then suddenly he grabbed her wrist and wouldn't let her. When she tried to pull it away he twisted it. Not hard, but enough to let her know he was serious.

She stopped. Her eyes went puzzled, then blank.

With his other hand he slowly pushed her away and sat up.

"No more," he said. "No more of this."

"I don't understand," she said.

Climbing off the bed, he slid into his pants, gathered his socks and shoes then looked about the room. "Where's my shirt?"

"How the fuck would I know?"

He looked around again, saw it at the other end of the room. As he crossed over to it she got in his way and stopped him.

"What's your damage?"

Before he could say anything, there came the ring of his cell phone. It was on the floor, on the other side of Carly. The two of them exchanged a taut glance. Then Carly swooped down and snatched it up, raced to the other end of the room and answered it.
