“Does Rebecca ask for what she wants?” and I cringed at my words “Ava!” he
warned in a low voice “I’m sorry Mason, I don’t know where that came from” his
fingers were brushing through my hair and he was silent for a moment “Tell me
what happened the night George found you Ava” he probed softly but his words
panicked me and I shot off the bed “NO, NO, NO Mason. Please don’t make me go
there again” I begged, picking up my clothes off the floor and scrambling to
get dressed.
I’d managed to push the memories back again and wasn’t
willing to open them wide again. He clambered out of the bed, groaning in pain “Ava,
I’m sorry, it doesn’t matter” he declared, hauling me into his arms “I’m sorry
Ava” he said again, stroking my hair.
I pulled back “I should go Mason. We shouldn’t have done
that. You’re my boss and I don’t make a habit of doing things like that with
people I work for” I stuttered, pulling my shirt round me, relieved when I
found a couple of buttons still intact. Mason chuckled “I should hope not,
George is a little too old for you” his lips turned down grimly though “Please
don’t go Ava” I shook my head “I’m sorry Mason” I slipped my shoes on and made
a hasty exit “I’ll see you in the morning” I said and I heard him sigh “Ava” he
said sadly and I finally turned to look at him “I’m sorry Mason, I can’t get
hurt and I don’t trust my emotions when I’m with you. We can’t take this
further, we can’t do this again. I don’t do just sex” my eyes pleaded with him
and he lowered his gaze and I knew he couldn’t promise to be what I wanted him
to be, to him it was just sex.
I descended the stairs quickly gathering my things and as I got
to the front door I heard him behind me. I turned and he was stood on the
stairs watching me, a grim expression on his face. I smiled gently “See you
tomorrow Mason” but he just stood staring at me.
Swallowing harshly I opened the door and left, shutting it
softly behind me, finally sucking in a breath of air as I reached my car.
Climbing in, I dropped my head on the steering wheel and
groaned “What the hell have you done Ava?” I chastised myself, angry at my lack
of control around Mason. I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t risk the pain I knew
would kill me when he hurt me and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he
would damage my already wounded heart. He was a womaniser and a player; to him
there were no relationships, just sex and I couldn’t handle that, I needed
trust and I would never be able to trust him.
CHAPTER 10
I took my anger out at the gym. Courtney was with me as was
our usual Monday night routine and I was using the punch bag, laying into it
with all the pent up anger, adrenaline and hurt that was locked away inside me.
I was pummelling it, grunting and bearing my teeth. Courtney
was stood at the edge of the room watching me and eventually she grabbed my
arms “Ava, Jesus. Calm down” she said as she approached, pulling me away
“What’s wrong Babe?”
I shook my head “Leave it Courtney. I just need to get it
out” I told her angrily but she continued to hold me back “You need to talk not
knock the shit out of a bag. Talk to me Ava” I closed my eyes and nodded “Let’s
get a drink first” I resigned and she smiled at me “Good girl” she said and we
made our way to the onsite cafeteria.
We sat down with our coffee’s and she jumped right in
“Mason?” she asked and I nodded “We went further” I admitted and she nodded “I
gathered. How much further?” I shrugged “We didn’t have sex but we did nearly
everything else. I can’t control myself around him. It’s like my body craves
him. Even now I can still feel his hands on me and the way he kisses me; Jesus
it’s so…so passionate. It’s like we want to devour each other. Even he admitted
he’s never climaxed so hard and it was the same for me” she nodded again
