Chapter 30: Communication Part 2

JULIAN’S POV

Vivian climbed out of the tub and walked over to the bed. She laid down along the comforter and I stopped by my bag to grab a container of lavender and tea tree salve from it. I unscrewed the top and raised one of my hands to gesture for her to turn onto her stomach for me. She slowly rolled onto her stomach, and I grabbed a pillow to place beneath her hips. She folded her arms beneath her head, and I sat down beside her on the bed.

I ran my fingers through the waxy ointment and began to massage it into her welted skin, causing a long mewl to spill from her lips. F*ck, I wanted to take her right there. Her hips wiggled and she pressed back against my hand, slowly parting her legs more. “You okay?” I kept my voice calm and collected, focusing on massaging the salve into her irritated skin.

She bit her bottom lip and peered over at me through her lashes with flushed cheeks, “I need more.”
