you need
you should know that I would help.”
    I frown, I’m not a charity case, but before I reply, David
cuts in.
    “She says she’s fine,” His voice is clipped, and there’s a
note of annoyance underneath. “She doesn’t need you to take care of her.”
    “And she needs you?” Eddie’s words come out in a sneer, and
my face goes red with embarrassment. I want to tell them both to stop talking
about me as if I’m not there. I don’t know what’s happening, but I want it to
stop.
    “Eddie...” I start, but he doesn’t even seem to hear me.
    “Don’t pretend that you give a damn about her.” He
challenges David. “We all know what happens now that you’ve had your fun, don’t
we?” He gives a small laugh. “The rich playboy strikes again, too bad you
couldn’t find someone your own age.”
    David smiles tightly. He is not looking at me, but his smile
scares me. The smile freezes Eddie too, whose accusing words have now ceased.
“You should go now,” David tells him. “And try to remember that from now on
nothing about Sophie is any of your concern or your responsibility.”
    For a moment, I’m sure Eddie is going to cry. He gives me
one last look, and then he turns and leaves. I shut the door quickly. As if by
doing so, I can make it as if the last few minutes didn’t happen.
    I’m still trying to understand what has just happened. “I’ve
never seen him like that before.”
    David’s eyes are on my face. “Really?”
    I stare at him, feeling uncertain, there is an edge to his
voice that I don’t understand. “Really.” I reply.
    “Really?” He’s moving towards me, I move back, but with just
one step I’m already backed up against the wall. He tips my chin up
until I’m looking up into his eyes, “because anybody can see that he’s in love
with you.”
    “Why would he be in love with me?”
    “You really have no idea, do you?” He sighs. “Somebody
should have told you how beautiful you are.” He says. “I promise you that as
soon as I’m gone he’ll be back to offer you his ‘help’ again.”
    “I don’t want his help.” I whisper.
    His eyes hold mine, and I can’t look away. As I watch him,
his hand moves into my robe, parting the thick material. His fingers stroke my
thighs, moving up between my legs, he massages me softly, and I part my legs,
letting him touch me.
    I am so wet, his fingers stroke me easily, I moan softly,
moving my hips to meet them. I grab hold of his shoulders, breathless. He
doesn’t stop, a finger slides into me, slowly massaging me inside. He finds a
spot and applies more pressure. I groan, and he puts another finger in my mouth.
I start to suck on it, spreading my legs wider, opening myself to him. As he
drives me crazy inside, his thumb plays with me outside. Finally, I can’t take
it anymore. My body stiffens, and then I let out a thin scream as it shatters in
different directions.
    His lips descend on mine, swallowing my scream. I gasp,
because the kiss is almost painful. It’s possessive, as if he is
stamping me with his ownership, but I don’t care, I want to be owned.
    He presses me against the wall, and I can feel the firm push
of his arousal. I moan softly. His voice is harsh against my ear. “Don’t forget
who made you feel like this.”
    I’ll never forget. “Take me with you.” I don’t consciously form
the words, they just come out from somewhere deep within me. Somewhere where
there is no shame, only desperation.
    He doesn’t reply. I wonder what he’s thinking. I feel a
sense of shame at the thought of his rejection. His hands tighten around my waist,
and he pulls me close. I relax against him as he kisses my hair. He is so tender,
I brace myself for his refusal.
    He chuckles suddenly. I wonder why, but I don’t want to
leave his embrace. “There’s one way you can come with me to Seattle.” He sounds
amused.
    “How?” I’m ready to explore any options.
    He considers for a moment. “How long does it take
