What the fuck am I doing?

Obviously I can’t help being here, but why the fuck am I acting like a domesticated pussy-whipped idiot? Jesus. I’m not pussy-whipped.

Madison is pussy. Pure and simple.

She doesn’t mean anything to me.

I don’t care how many times her eyes turn soft when she looks at me, when they’re normally jaded and worldly. I don’t care how many times she calls me her own personal hero. I don’t care that she’s damaged on the inside, in a way that reminds me of Jacey—and of the damage that my father did to her. But Madison’s damage is far, far worse than Jacey’s.

And it’s not my job to fix her.

I can’t even fix myself.

I go through two cups of coffee while I wait for her on the sofa, as her “quick” shower turns into half an hour. But when she comes out dressed only in a T-shirt and panties, I’m wide awake without the aid of caffeine. I can see the outline of her perky nipples through her shirt and all my previous arguments about how little she means to me go out the window.

Especially when she looks at me with those soft eyes. Eyes that aren’t soft for many people. It clenches my stomach into a fucking knot.

You can’t trust me. But obviously I can’t say that.

“Hey,” I say instead. “Feel better?”

She nods. “Yeah. I stood under the hot water for a while. I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”

“It’s OK,” I tell her. “Seeing your nipples was worth the wait.”

She smiles, her cheeks flushing. “Where do you want me?”

“Under me on the bed.”

Madison startles, but then I laugh. “Under my hands. I just meant under my hands.”

She smiles back at me, but tugs me to my feet.

“OK. I’ll lie on my bed. Then we’ll both be comfortable. I have to tell you something, though.” She pauses and blushes, which immediately piques my interest. This ought to be good. “I’m pretty sore. Down there, I mean. So…”

I interrupt. “Don’t worry. I can rub that too.” At her look of utter chagrin, I burst out laughing. “It’ll be fine, Maddy. I won’t try anything. We’ll be fine on the bed. I mean, if you can control yourself.”

She turns around and walks down the hall. “I’m not the one who needs that talk. The little man there needs that talk.”

As soon as I realize that she’s talking about my dick, I bristle.

“Hey, never, in any situation, should you call him ‘little man.’ The word little should never be used in conjunction with my penis.”

She laughs as she walks into her room and sits on her bed.

“Whatever. I don’t think you really need reassured about your big size, army man. It’s the reason I’m in the shape I’m in, and you know it.” She’s smiling, and I can tell she’s sufficiently impressed.

“That’s better,” I grumble as I settle onto her bed. “You can use that word all you want.”

A wicked gleam shines in her eyes and she flips onto all fours, crawling up over me.
