to be traumatized for a long time after what you’ve been through. I won’t contribute to your terror.”

She leaned closer and kissed him gently. “I’m fine, Jason. I need you to touch me. Erase this day with your touch. Dominate me in that way you do that tells me I’m yours and I’m safe and I’m loved.”

He smiled and then cupped her face and kissed her so hard she nearly fell over backward. When he was done, he met her gaze again. “God, I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

He pulled the dress over her head and dropped it on the floor. His gaze roamed her body, inspecting her for injuries. She knew this, and she let him, saying nothing. Except for minor rope burns on her wrists and bruising at her neck, she was fine.

When he was satisfied, she grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head. “Join me.”

“You sure?”

“Positive.” She reached for the button on his jeans next, but her hands were shaking. He eased them away and finished undressing himself.

His glorious cock caught her attention and sent arousal through her body. She bit her lip as he stepped into the tub and then lifted her by the waist over the edge. He settled against the end of the tub and spread his legs, reaching for her.

She let out a long, slow breath as she relaxed between his legs, her back against his chest, her breasts above his forearm. She leaned her head back on his shoulder. She needed to talk about the day for a while, and she hoped he wouldn’t mind.

“Jason…”

“What, baby girl? Go ahead.” He stroked her arm, letting her know he was taking things at her speed tonight.

“I can’t believe Eddie had his goons kidnap me,” she began. “I can’t believe Eddie had goons.”

“I didn’t see that coming either, little one.”

“I can’t believe you knocked them all out with your bare hands.” She twisted to grin at him. “Holy shit. You’re fucking Rambo.”

He chuckled. “Hardly, but it’s what I was trained to do.” He shrugged.

“Do you really think his parents knew nothing about his plan?”

Jason shrugged. “I’m not sure. The police will have to sort it out. They have much bigger problems than that on their hands. The Lopez family has been on the FBI’s radar for months. It seems they have ties to a cartel. I’m betting Eddie was being groomed to become the next Lopez drug king. Apparently, Eddie was used to getting everything he wanted. And when you turned him down, he wasn’t willing to accept no for an answer.”

“I can’t believe I didn’t realize what a dick he was the first night we went out. I mean, I knew I didn’t care for him or his friends, but I didn’t pin him for a drug lord. Nor did I expect him to have me kidnapped.” She sighed and relaxed closer to Jason’s huge, warm body. He made her feel safe and secure. She was going to need that for a few days.

Christa had called their boss at Open Skies and let them know what had happened even before her shift was supposed to start today. She would take the rest of this week off and then reevaluate.

“I’m not going to let you out of my sight for days. I hope you can live with that,” Jason murmured against her forehead.

“Counting on it.” She chuckled as she remembered something else that had happened today and twisted to face him again. “Oh my God, my mom.”

He grinned.

“She fucking hugged you.”

He chuckled. “She did. Though I must say, I would rather have spent two years winning her over than have you go through what you went through today.”

“I know, but holy shit. She is going to spend a decade apologizing for being so hard on you and for setting me up with Eddie in the first place, and then begging me to continue seeing him.” She twisted farther and set her hand on Jason’s cheek. “You won her over.”

He laughed again, his body shaking so much that the water sloshed around them. “Yeah, mothers always fall right into my palm when I rescue their daughters from the arms of a madman.”

She swatted playfully at his chest and then scrambled to turn all the way around and straddle him.

He set his hands on her hips as she lowered her butt to his thighs. “Baby girl…” he warned.

“I need you.” If he fucking turned her down, she would be devastated.

He slid his
