Chapter Eleven

Cindy hadn’t been this satisfied in years. Not since Jack was taken away from her, and there was nothing in the world better than being made to face the tiled wall of the shower, having her hands thrust above her head and her feet nudged wider apart before being mounted.

This was just proof of the fact that she hadn’t been laid in forever, otherwise it just made no sense for her to be able to get off so soon after her last orgasm.

Or Jack was just that talented.

Either way, he left her gasping and shaking, with a smile on her face, before he finally got to washing her back like he said he would. He even helped with her hair.

Yeah, this definitely felt like they were two years back in time. Even as they rinsed their bodies and Jack turned the water off so they could dry and get out, it was only when the chain clinked between them that Cindy remembered that she was still a prisoner.

“Here, dry off,” Jack said, handing her a towel, back to being cold and unapproachable again.

Cindy toweled herself, but only because she was freezing now that she was out of the warm water. Otherwise she might’ve been a little too terrified to move.

She couldn't stop staring at the long, thick scar on his back. It was clearly a from a burn, and with how deep it was in some places was impressive in a morbid sort of way. She was grateful that he was even still walking. “I didn’t mean for what happened to your family to happen, but it did, and I’m sorry, she said quickly before he could cut her off.

“I don’t want to talk about that with you,” he said, not looking at her as he pulled his jeans on.

“I didn't start that fire, Jack. You have to know that! There would have been a police report, or some kind of investigation that said it was regular arson—”

Jack slammed his fist down on the bathroom counter. The bang was as loud as a gunshot, and Cindy was instantly quiet.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, and Jack looked like he was gasping for breath when he turned to look at her. “Stop talking to me about that,” he said, and he looked absolutely serious.

Cindy looked down at his hand, which was still clenched into a fist on the counter. She was surprised that the surface hadn’t cracked.

Cindy nodded. “Okay,” she said. “But I will be talking to you about it later.”

Jack’s face softened for a brief moment, but then he glared at her again, before turning around so that she couldn’t see it.

Cindy’s heart hurt for him. Not for herself, and the fact that he thought she was a murderer, but for him.

She wasn’t going to give up on this. “What should I get dressed in? My clothes are dirty and torn and I can’t put on any of your shirts.”

Jack sighed. “Just...wrap the towel around yourself. I’ll bring you something from my room.
