CHAPTER NINE

Jarrod

T

his is a nightmare. It’s hell. Pure torture.

It is excruciatingly painful – I’m lying in my bed wishing that tonight had gone differently. It’s not that I’d expected to sleep with Tallulah tonight. I hadn’t. It’s just I hadn’t expected that blasted promise.

I think she might be trying to kill me, except she’s far too kind for that. All night all I wanted to do was touch her, hold her hand, run my hand along her neck, play with her hair and I couldn’t.

Now I’m lying here with a hard cock that won’t go down on its own and a mind that can’t think of anything except kissing her.

I should have refused her promise but how could I when she asked so sincerely?

I don’t think I could refuse her anything, even if I wanted to. I think she was disappointed too. I hope so.

I need her to regret it.

I need to make her relent on that promise because I can’t break it. I won’t be that man. I want her trust more than anything. Even more, than I need to kiss her right now and that is a heck of a lot.

I get out of bed because I’m achieving nothing lying here. I’m not wearing much. Just a pair of boxers. A small, well not so small part of me is hoping she will come out of her room too. I’m surprised when I open the door to the lounge, and she is curled up under a blanket watching TV, her eyes half closed.

“What are you doing awake?” I ask gruffly.

She jumps half a mile out of her skin, and the blanket drops slightly to show that she is wearing a lacy strappy top with absolutely no sign of a bra.

God! She looks magnificent right now.

Her hair is wild, and her eyes are hooded. I’d beg to fuck her right now if I thought it would help my cause.

“I couldn’t sleep,” she tells me shyly, her voice heavy with tiredness, as she pulls the blanket up almost to her chin.

I chuckle at the action. Even her timidity is hot. I smile sweetly – or at least I hope it comes off sweetly and not like a wolf who just spotted little red – and walk around the sofa until I am able to sit next to her.

I move slowly so as not to catch her off guard, lowering myself under her blanket. I pull her feet onto my lap and begin to massage them.

Fuck the bloody promise! She sighs and what nervousness I feel about breaking this boundary completely dissipates.

Her eyes close as I watch her reactions. She bites down on her lower lip, making me want to kiss her. Her head drops onto the cushion behind her, exposing her neck.

I’ve never been a big fan of love bites, but I’d plant one on her neck as an act of pure alpha male claiming. She wouldn’t appreciate it though so instead I hold back.

When I stop, she curls up and rests her head on my shoulder like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
