Chapter 33: Secrets and Temptations

Jody

I awoke the next day with my bones aching from the stone floor. A heavy, mildew scent clung in the cell from the thunderstorm last night. I'd hoped that Axton would feel sorry for me and offer a little bit of comfort from sleeping on the floor, but he'd stayed on the opposite side of me like I was contagious.

Part of me thought about asking him to rub my sore muscles. Except, where I wanted comfort he would think I intended to get him horny, and I bet that would have the opposite effect I wanted.

"Since we don't have the internet or my fav of puzzles, tell me about your life before the Roulex." I rolled out my shoulders, trying to get the tightness across my back to lessen.

He glowered at me. "Like what?"

"What did you use to enjoy?"

"Everything. Life. Then the Roulex came and took it all."
