Chapter 15: Mrs. Blackwood

*Daphne*

“I’m always wet when I’m around you.”

A thrilling spark of excitement raced up her spine when she spoke those words. Daphne smiled as the pleasurable shock took over Alistair’s face. His eyes widened and he nearly stopped his hypnotic movements.

Daphne had no idea what compelled her to knock on Alistair’s door that evening. It certainly wasn’t the first time her body had ached for his attention and wanted to seek him out once the day was over.

She had spent the longest time keeping him at arm's length because she needed to. Back then she was meant to be with someone else. Well, that someone else no longer wanted her it seemed.

But Alistair did.

He'd made it abundantly clear for quite some time that he desired her. And had proven in countless ways that he truly respected her boundaries. The man never stepped out of line or tried to force her into something she just wasn’t ready for.
