Chapter 14

“Sheldon, I—”

“Shh, baby. Let me take care of you.” He palmed my head and pulled me into a harsh kiss, matching the rhythm of his fist with his tongue, and it was too soon, but I came all over his hand and my underwear, overcome by his care and how long it had been since anyone had taken care of me like this.

I gasped into his mouth and shuddered against him. When I was done, I rested my forehead against his, my heartbeat slowing in the seconds that passed by.

“Thank you,” I said.

“You don’t need to thank me, hon. It’s my absolute pleasure to make you feel good.” He sucked on my neck and then slapped my butt.

“Time to go over to the shelter. I’m a little bit broader than you, but we might still wear the same size underwear. Go down the hall to my bedroom. I’ve got new undies in the bottom drawer of the dresser. Bathroom’s next door. Go change and I’ll meet you at the door, okay? I’ll clean up here.”
