Something tells me this is not what Peter had in mind when he asked me to take in Bellamy for the university break. I didn’t think about it much before, but what the hell was he thinking, passing his twenty year old daughter off to an older man? Sending her off to a half-empty townhouse, at the mercy of her host?

She’s a woman, yes. An adult. She can make her own decisions.

But she’s his daughter. Doesn’t he care?

His loss, I suppose. His loss and my gain, because now that I’ve tasted her—there’s no fucking way I’ll stop. Not if she offers herself up to me like that again. Not if she seeks me out in the dead of night, and settles her gorgeous ass on my lap.

God, I hope she does. It’s been hours since I left her in the guest suite, and I can still taste her on my lips. Can still feel her silky hair, sliding between my fingers. Bellamy was such a live wire, gasping into my kiss, scrambling in my lap as she tried to get closer, closer, sealing us tight together with no air between. And as I cradled her pretty head, slanting our mouths together, I finally heard it: the music I’ve been missing. The faint notes, whispering through my brain.

Bellamy is the key.

She’s my muse.

And really—how can I ever let her go?

It’s a bittersweet bargain. My inspiration is back, yes, and I’ve written more sheets of music in the last day than I have for months prior. It’s good stuff, too, I can feel it, down to my bones, but there is a price.

Ever since Bellamy settled her hands on my shoulders, I’ve been aching. Flushed and hungry.

Primed to fuck.

I’ll take her devil’s bargain—I’d be a fool not to, and honestly, I’d want her regardless of the music. Hell, I’d want her even if she made my block worse. But after a full day of shutting myself away in the music room, avoiding the tempting young woman drifting through the nearby rooms and ignoring the ache in my cock, I don’t trust myself any longer. If I stay near her for another hour, my restraint will crack.

Yes. If I stay here, I’ll march through the hallways and hunt her down like prey. I’ll crush her against the nearest wall, pawing at her like an animal, rutting her like I’ve lost my mind.

And Bellamy deserves better than that. So the second I finish my work for the day, I push to my feet, shake out the cramp in my hand, and stride out to the lobby. My feet drum against the stairs; I shoulder my winter coat with a scowl. I pat my pockets for my wallet, my phone, my keys.

Upstairs, Bellamy’s careful steps creak against the floorboards. I open my mouth to call up to her, to invite her out with me to dinner. But this is about making some space, not drawing her closer, so I shut my mouth with a clack of teeth and shove the front door open.
