Chapter 8: The Bruise

She lay in the dark with the ache still burning between her legs, the heat of the stopped encounter a live wire under her skin.

Every time she closed her eyes she saw him on his knees, chest heaving, cock slick and hard, his eyes dark with the want she had left unfinished.

She had walked away from that. She had left him there on the cold tile and gone back to the house alone, and now she lay in the guest room she had never actually slept in, listening to him move through the walls.

He was not sleeping either.

She heard him in the kitchen, the click of a cabinet, the soft rush of water. Then silence. Then footsteps, slow, pacing the length of the living room.

She pressed her thighs together and hated herself for it.

Her body did not care about the game she was playing. Her body only knew that she had been close, so close, and she had stopped, and now every nerve was screaming.

She got up.

Not to go to him. She would not go to him. She went to the window and stood there in the dark, looking out at the black shapes of the trees, the distant glow of the city.

The safe house was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that made her training itch.
