Chapter Fifteen

Maverick…

I gave her space as much as I could as we headed back to Washington. The absolute highlight of those days was having her pressed against my back, the evenings were a little rougher. I wanted her, but I was afraid to instigate any touching that was more sex and less comfort. I held her at night, but I let her wear some of my clothes as pajamas and I kept myself covered, too.

She would lie silent beside me, fingertips plucking at my tee over my collarbone, and I desperately wanted to know what she was thinking… but I never asked. I just thought it was better to give her time, let her call the shots on what she did and didn’t want to share.

I simply lay in the dark beneath her and let my own thoughts wander, usually to what all needed to be done when we got back home.

I had leverage, but I needed the rest of the men of the club on board before I went there.

There were also a lot of questions that needed to be answered, like where was her uncle now? How did we go about tracking him down? All things I wanted answers to but had to hurry up and wait until other hurdles were cleared first.

I had to take this in a certain order of operations when I desperately just wanted to make that motherfucker bleed.

Marisol sighed restlessly and I eased off on the hold I had on her. I hadn’t even realized I’d had tensed, tightening my arms around her, until she made the sound.

“Do I gross you out, now?”

Her question was like a bucket of ice water.

“What? No!”

“Then why haven’t you made a move since… you know… I told you.”

She looked up at me as I looked down at her and her gaze was a second shock to my system – haunted, aching, the raw hurt in her eyes went to my heart and slashed it with a razor. I cupped her cheek in my hand and smoothed a thumb over her so-soft skin.

“I honestly don’t know what to do with that part of things, Zaychik. I know that I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. I know that I don’t want to cause you more pain…” I trailed off, a little helpless. I hated that, but it was the truth. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how to fix it and there was no fixing it. There wasn’t an ounce of retribution I could wring out of her putrid fuck of an uncle that would even come close to making up for what she’d endured.

Impotent rage swept through me and I just barely kept it from seeping into my eyes which were still locked with hers. I didn’t want her thinking I was angry with her. I could never be angry with her over this. I was sure, in time, I would be pissed with her – but not over something like this.

“Can I kiss you?” she asked, her voice muted, strained with her longing.
