IKE
I knew exactly where she had gone when I woke up and found her missing. It wasn’t hard to figure out. Then again, one phone call was all it took for confirmation. As I suspected, she went back to the same fucking cabin she’d been to early with Jane.
I couldn’t help but wonder what she found tonight that kept her out for so long. It had been at least an hour since she left me cold and alone in our bed. I let my eyes trail over her body, paying particular attention to the way her nipples were poking through the fabric. Was it just the cold or had she enjoyed what she’d seen?
“So…find out anything interesting when you were out tonight?”
Her face flamed red as she looked away from me. I bit back a grin. Fuck, she was so cute when she was embarrassed. She quickly glanced away, scurrying over to the bed to hop under the covers.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You have no idea, huh?”
Her gaze snapped to mine and narrowed sharply. “What exactly are you implying?”
As soon as she stepped foot outside the cabin, my guys had eyes on her. “I’m saying that you went somewhere. You must have been doing something.”
“Yes, I went for a walk.”
So, she was going to play it that way. “And what did you do on that walk?”
She still wouldn’t fucking look at me as she fixed the covers around her body. “I needed air. It’s been days inside this stuffy cabin. I just walked.”
“Uh-huh.”
She scoffed. “Of course you would say that.”
“Say what?”
“Uh-huh,” she mocked me. “Like I wouldn’t need to get out of here.”
“I have no doubt you would think so.”
Again, her sharp gaze met mine, but instead of the conflicted expression from earlier, all I saw now was fire. Which was fucking perfect. I wanted her burning—fucking raging at me if it meant that she wasn’t drowning in nightmares and flashbacks. I would do whatever it took to keep that darkness out of her beautiful green eyes.
“I would think so? I’m sorry, did I just hear you right?”
“Sorry, but it sounds like you’re just repeating everything I say.”
“Maybe that’s because you couldn’t possibly be saying the stupid things that are coming out of your mouth.”
“I can and I am.” I pushed out of my chair and stalked over to her, letting her see the darkness in my eyes. It had been building for days now, all the rage that had yet to be unleashed was barely contained inside me. “If you don’t remember, you were just in the hospital not that long ago. So, yes, I was keeping you here to help you recover for the trip home.”
“And did you ever think that I didn’t want to be locked in a room for days on end?”
“I didn’t think you wanted to be outside in the fucking cold,” I snapped. “It wasn’t that long ago that you told me you never wanted to be cold again.”
Her eyebrows slanted together in thought. Yeah, I knew all too well how conflicted she felt. She didn’t understand it any more than the rest of us that went through all this shit. She was desperate for normal, and she would fucking get that. I just had to be sure she was strong enough first.
“That doesn’t mean I want to be locked up or followed everywhere I go.”
She realized that instant what she had done. Her eyes went wide as she threw off the covers and scampered to the other side of the bed. But I was faster, running around to the other side to stop her from escaping.
“What’s wrong? Was it something I said?” I smirked.
She backed up, scooting to the other side, but I rushed over, stopping her again. She was trapped no matter where she went. “What do you know?”
“Oh, sweetheart. What don’t I know?”
The fire inside her burned hotter than ever. “That’s not fair. You shouldn’t have people spying on me.”
I chuckled at that. “Baby, they’re not spying on you. They’re here to protect you. Which you clearly need since you ran out of here and were creeping around other cabins.”
Her eyes widened. “What did they tell you?”
I cocked my head at her, very interested in what she was willing to tell me. “What did you see in that cabin with Jane?”
She swallowed hard, shaking her head like she didn’t want to admit it even to herself. “I…”
She crawled backward on all fours, desperate to get away from me, but this time, I got on the bed and went after her. “What did you see, Isla?”
“Nothing,” she said breathlessly.
With her legs spread, her pussy was on display for me, begging for me to take her. I grabbed her by the ankles and dragged her underneath me, then straddled her body, caging her in.
“Are you trying to run from me, gorgeous?”
“Just trying to get away from that humongous ego chasing me.”
I smirked at her, grinding my dick against her. Fuck, I couldn’t wait to be inside her again. It was gonna be a long trip home with no way to pull over and sink my cock into her.
I grabbed her wrists and yanked them over her head. My lips skimmed hers until she finally relented, kissing me back. “Tell me what you saw in that cabin.”
She whimpered, slipping her tongue in my mouth as her wrists jerked in my hand. I was fucking desperate for her.
“Did you see a couple fucking?” I asked. My hand skimmed down her shirt, then yanked it up until her bare pussy was free. I shifted, giving myself full access. She cried out when my fingers touched her over-sensitized skin. Fuck, whatever she was watching got her really ramped up.
“Did you like watching it?” I slipped two fingers inside her, fucking her slowly. “Was your pussy throbbing when you saw him bend her over and take her from behind?”
Her eyes flew open and her breath caught. “You?—”
“Baby, I fucking know everything,” I growled. “I saw how fucking interested you were, how you bit your lip when you saw something you liked. I saw how you clenched your thighs,” I murmured.
“H—how?”
“Don’t you know? I’m always watching,” I growled.
For a moment, she was caught off guard, but then her face cleared and her eyebrow cocked. “What are you going to do about it?”
That’s my girl.
“I’m about to fucking show you.”
