Inside my house, the emotional intensity of the day catches up with me all at once. The interview has left me raw, vulnerable from sharing my darkest moment and having it accepted without judgment. I move to the kitchen, trying to find something to do with my hands before the restless energy overwhelms me.
âAre you hungry?â I ask, opening the refrigerator and staring blindly at its contents. âI could make somethingâ¦â
âRaphael.â Her voice is closer than I expected, and I turn to find her right behind me, her hand settling on my arm. âYou donât have to take care of me right now.â
I go completely still under her touch, my breathing becoming shallow as her scent wraps around me. âI need to do something with my hands,â I admit. âOtherwise Iâm going toâ¦â
âWhat?â She steps closer. âWhat are you going to do?â
My control slips for just a momentâmy hands clenching and unclenching at my sides as the beast in me responds to her proximity.
âIâm going to touch you,â I say, the words coming out like gravel.
Her eyes darken. âActually,â she says, her voice taking on a husky quality, âI think itâs my turn.â
âYour turn?â
âYou touched me yesterday morning,â she says, stepping even closer, her hands coming up to rest on my chest. âNow I want to touch you.â
The effect of her words is immediate and overwhelming. I draw in a sharp breath, catching the scent of her determination, her desire. A low rumble builds in my chest, not quite a growl but something deeper, more primal.
âFrankieâ¦â Her name comes out rough, strained with the effort of maintaining whatâs left of my control.
âLet me,â she whispers, her hands sliding up to frame my face, thumbs stroking along my jaw. âLet me take care of you for once.â
And as her fingers begin to explore the sensitive base of my horns with such tender care, I know Iâm completely, utterly hers tonight.
