folds.
     
    Varius continued exploring, realizing Lena was one surprise after another. His fingers moved along her slick, smooth skin. The lack of hair wasn’t something that he’d been expecting, but he loved the feel of it.
    She tossed her head back, and he wrapped his other arm around her as one finger slid inside her. Her slick insides tightened around his finger as he pressed deeper inside.
    He gritted his teeth as he moved his hand inside her mound, aching to feel his cock buried deep inside her but wary of the animal that rested just below the surface.
    Pleasing her with his hands was the best solution. He still got to be with her even if it meant he didn’t get everything he wanted. No matter what, he could sure as hell make sure it was good for her.
    His thumb found her small nub and circled it as his finger worked inside her. Her little moans escaping with each movement were nearly driving him crazy with desire.
    He added a second finger, the pair now tight inside her. She leaned against the window and placed a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it as he fucked her with his hand.
    “Varius,” she said with a shuddering breath.
    A sheen of sweat covered her forehead, and he loved knowing he was pushing her closer to her climax, that she could finally feel the need he had carried for her all this time.
    She moved against his hand, urging him to fuck her harder. Unable to use the force he wanted, Varius pressed hard against the nub. Lena moaned loudly and then stilled. Her muscles squeezed his fingers, pulling him in even deeper.
    He removed his wet fingers from her pants and was surprised when Lena brought her hot mouth back to his for a demanding kiss. Her mouth on his filled him with an even greater ache to plant himself deep inside her.
    It took a moment for him to realize she was fumbling with the button on his pants, trying desperately to get it undone.
    Varius pulled back and stilled her hands. Lena looked at him, her eyes hooded with lust.
    He bit back a growl as he pushed her hands away from the button.
    Lena sat back, her face scrunching up in frustration, and stared at him. Her heavy breathing matched his own.
    “Why?” she said.
    He hated the crushed look on her face as she asked the question. The emotion from everything they had just done was fading right in front of him.
    Varius closed his eyes and tried to regain some sort of composure. This wasn’t the situation or place he thought he’d be having this sort of conversation with her.
    “I can’t,” he said. “You don’t know what kind of man I am. What I’m capable of.”
    Lena frowned at him. “I don’t understand.”
    He nodded. She didn’t understand. A part of himself didn’t even understand. All he wanted was to take her. Make her his. But what if the animal in him came out like that night? That night the beast had protected her from men who deserved their fate, but she didn’t deserve any harm he might inflict. How would he keep her safe if he couldn’t even guarantee to keep her safe from himself?
    Varius lifted her off his lap and placed her back into the passenger seat.
    “I think it’s safe to head home now,” he said, averting his gaze.
    Lena looked out the window and didn’t respond. He hadn’t meant to hurt her, but now just wasn’t the time.
    He opened his mouth to say something, anything that might make it better, but the words just wouldn’t form. In just an instant, elation had been crushed into disappointment by his own hands.

    The glass door slammed shut on the cabinet containing cotton balls with a loud clack, startling the few men waiting at the clinic to be seen. They exchanged confused glances.
    Not that Lena cared. Annoyance didn’t begin to capture what she felt. It was nearly four in the afternoon, and she still hadn’t heard from Varius. She had awoken after another restless night only to find a note on her door when she stepped outside to wait for him.
    Sorry about yesterday.
