Ian

I let her slide slowly off of my body, resting her feet in the shower. Riley seems scared. Maybe I really did take it too far. Maybe I should have gone a bit slower, enjoyed every moment, let her know that what I wanted wasn’t her body.

I don’t say anything. I just caress the wet hair that falls over her shoulders and I take care of her, because she needs to be looked after. We both do.

I didn’t want all this, for things to freefall out of control. It was rage, a strong desire to feel her, to have her for myself and to give myself completely to her, because I know she’s the only woman I could do it for. She’s the only woman I could live for.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to put things right, turn it around and get her to trust me, to open her heart to me and let me in.

I don’t know if I’ll ever get a second chance, or if she’ll ever be able to see me for what I am, to see just Ian and not someone to vent her anger towards and who can fill her emptiness. To realise that behind this façade, there’s an entire world to discover.

To believe in me and what we could have. I take the shampoo bottle and pour a little into my hands. I delicately massage her head as she closes her eyes and lets herself go to my touch. I soap up her body, reddened by my own bite marks, my beard scratching and the bastard that I have been once again.

I try not to think about it and to make things better as much as possible, to show her that she can have whatever she wants from me if she just asks for it.

Because I could be hers.

Completely.

If she wants me.

I rub her body with soapy hands, slowly and respectfully, and she lets me without making a sound. She’s still under the spell of my hands washing over her - this time, to take care of her.

Then I rinse myself off too as she looks at me, confused, wrapping her arms around her chest.

It’s such an intense and intimate moment – us, here like this – it’s hard for me to wrap my head around.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this kind of intimacy with anyone. It’s a sensation that really undoes me; I didn’t think it was possible for me to feel this way, for me to surrender to a feeling that grows devastatingly larger with every passing second, occupying my every thought and invading my every heartbeat.

I never would have believed that I could let down my guard, let myself be dragged in by someone. I never knew that my heart could swell in my chest so dominatingly, so out of control.

But it’s happened and I don’t know how go back, or make it stop.
