breath. His steady grip was the only thing that kept me on my feet as he deepened the kiss. I moaned softly against him as his hands pressed into my back and he nibbled slowly along my lips.
He drew back slowly and broke the kiss. I kept my eyes closed for a few seconds savouring the taste of him on my lips. When I opened them I couldn't help but smile. David's eyes were filled with happiness and something else. I knew the look. I had fallen prey to it several times. It was the look of lust. The look that David used on me that told me all of the things he wanted to do to me then and there. The way he would take my body and use it for his pleasure. Sending me to new unexplored heights. I could feel things tighten low in my body and it made me want to take his hand and find a secluded corner. To me it felt like an age since he had done to me everything his eyes promised.
As though he could read my thoughts he let out a low chuckle. "Later, my love I promise. For now let's go inside."
We made our way into what appeared to be the hallway, except calling it a hall would have been an insult. The space itself was as big as my apartment. I stared around me at the wall hangings, drinking in the rich atmosphere and the smell of wood polish.
David's hand pressed against my lower back and I jumped, a small squeal escaping my lips. He took my hand and lead me into one of the many rooms that were adjacent to the hall. The sitting room was beautiful and opulent. The crystal chandelier glittered each time one of the sun beams hit it.
I let my eyes roam around the room until they came to rest on a man sprawled across the chintz sofa. He stirred as David and I entered the room and I realised it was Aaron.
"So this is where you hide out when you're not torturing your brother." I teased gently a small smile creeping across my lips as Aaron grinned at me.
"They let you out of the hospital? I thought you were in there for another few days at least. David seemed to think you would be?" He turned an inquisitive look to his brother but I piped up before David could open his mouth.
"There was an incident, so I left early."
Aaron's expression immediately grew serious. "Incident?"
"Robert, paid her a visit this morning. Threatened her. Said he was glad he didn't succeed the first time because now it means that he can cause even more pain. Plans to do her in when I'm on edge trying to protect her... I won't let that happen, Aaron, I can't..."
Aaron shook his head and let out a sigh as he sat upright on the couch. My shoulders were stiff from holding all of my anxieties inside and I attempted to release them all. I breathed out, a loud sigh escaping me. David wrapped his hand in mine as he led me towards the sofa opposite Aaron. He sat and pulled me down beside him. His thigh pressed tight against my leg, practically burning a hole in my jeans with the heat that was coming off his body.
"I don't understand how did he even get into the hospital? How did he know where to go?" Aaron asked running his hand across his face.
"Its been all over the news." David answered.
I spun around to face him, all the blood had drained from my face. "What do you mean all over the news?"
David looked sheepish and dropped his gaze to his hands.
"What do you mean all over the news, David? And why haven't I heard of this before now?" Anger was causing my blood to rise. I could feel it beginning to boil in my veins and I help onto it. Anger was something I could control. Something I could use in the situation that was spiralling rapidly out of my control.
"Well you were almost killed, Carrie. Something like that would be all over the news..." I could tell from the way David refused to meet my gaze that he was holding something back. Something I would have a major problem with.
"Tell me the truth." I tugged my hand out of his and narrowed my eyes. I wasn't going to be fobbed off. And I certainly wasn't in the mood for coy word games.
"Fine. I'm the owner of a
