Celia

I feel different today. It’s not just the ebbing soreness from our escapades in the hallway. But something else. A lightness in my chest that is new.

We haven’t settled anything between us because neither of us has brought up the topics he refuses to talk about. And I know I should push for it, but I fear pushing him too far.

I close my eyes and let out a long exhale. If I have to admit it, I don’t want to lose this. I don’t think he’ll go back to treating me the way he did before, but I also love the way he touches me. And I love the way he looks at me, like I’m the only woman in the entire world.

Today he’s allowed me in the library alone. The balcony doors are open, and I’m standing at the entrance, letting the breeze wash over me. The air is warm and carries the scent of flowers, although I haven’t seen any from my limited view of the property.

My mind automatically goes back to the last time I was here, and Nic took me on the grass. Claiming me, as he continues to do, every time we have sex.

That’s something else I love about his treatment of me. He is fearless; if he wants something, he takes it. And while that hasn’t always worked out in my favor, it does now when he’s determined to give me more pleasure than I’ve ever felt in my entire life.

But it isn’t just pleasure. He also touches me with a reverence that leaves me in awe.

I walk back into his office and glance at the desk, remembering the time he used my body. It was our first sexual encounter, and I hated him then. It seems like forever ago, even though only a few weeks have passed.

Memories of his body behind mine flood my head, his dick tucked between my thighs. The entire affair had been visceral, messy, almost dehumanizing… but it wasn’t. At least not looking back at it.

It seems my body and my brain have gone on a strike together, and all because the big brute tweaked some nerve endings in a pleasurable way. He might be as insane as he is gorgeous, but there’s no way I’m going to fall for him.

The door to the library opens behind me, and I glance toward it. Soo walks in. I guess it’s a casual day for him since he’s wearing a pair of slacks and a white button down. The uniform for him and Nic, it seems.

I give him a nod, which he returns.

When he doesn’t leave, I wait for him to say something, but the silence stretches long and loud.

“Did you need something?”

He faces the bookshelves and makes a show of inspecting the spines. It hasn’t escaped my notice that this house has a vast library, and I’ve seen none of the men who live here actually reading.

“I know you’re not here to look for a book. Did Nic send you in here to babysit me?”

Soo glances over his shoulder at me.
