Rescue Me(29)

“She has every right to be sacred. That man is a monster. I don’t know how much she has told you about some of the things he has done to her, but he broke her in more ways than I can even comprehend. So what kind of help do you need?” she demands.

Shit, my head is spinning. I have no idea if Erin has told Shayne about anything that has happened between us while she and Luke were gone, but knowing how close the two of them are I am going to go with ‘yes’ and just tell her what I need.

“Listen, I am sure you know everything that went on between Erin and me. Damn it, Shayne! I got her walls to start crumbling and now I am so damn scared that this jackass has put them back up. I am at a loss on what to do here.”

“Oh, Adam. I am just as scared as you are, and yes, she told me all about you two. I couldn’t be happier. But you’re talking to the wrong person. What you just said to me needs to be said to her.”

I nervously run my fingers through my hair as I look up into the starry sky.

“You know I don’t like seeing her distressed like this. I really care about her, Shayne.”

“I know you do. I have known for a while now, and if anyone can keep chipping away at her, it’s you. Now get off the phone with me and go get her. And, Adam? Just for the record, she cares a lot about you, too.”





Chapter Ten

Erin



Carefully positioning myself next to my daughter on her bed, I lay there and look at her small frame sleeping peacefully, knowing she doesn’t have a care in the world except to be a child. My love for this little girl is unconditional and I will do everything to keep her as happy as I possibly can. I never want her to be tainted by her vicious father and the things I know he is capable of. I shiver just thinking about him and the fact that he could actually get to her.

She never talks about her father. In fact, she has never asked about him at all. I dread the day when she finally does. I have no idea what I will even tell her, but one thing is for sure- I will not lie to her at all.

When I glance at the clock and see how late it is, I know I am not going to get any sleep tonight with the way my mind is still racing. I kiss my baby one last time and close her door behind me as I step out into the hall. The house is eerily quiet and dark as I cross over to my bedroom. I notice the light is on in Adam’s room so I quietly knock on his door. When he opens it, I find him wearing only a pair of loose shorts with his bare chest staring me right in the face. I want to lean into him and just lick it because I know he is going to taste like nothing I have ever experienced before.

“Get in here, sweet cheeks,” Adam says cockily as he puts his arms around my waist and pulls me into him.

Oh, hell. When my hands land on his smooth, powerful chest I feel an ache between my legs. My mind shouldn’t be thinking like this right now with everything that is happening, but the sexual chemistry between Adam and me has been building for months.

I lift my head and look at Adam, and the heated glaze I see in his eyes makes a wicked thought run through my mind, the kind I have only ever had about him. I am not experienced whatsoever when it comes to sex. The things I want to do him and the things I want him to do to me are so out of my comfort zone, it scares the living hell out of me. But I am falling so hard for him. I need him.

The event from today is the farthest thing from my mind when Adam places his hands around my butt and lifts me up. My legs instantly wrap around his waist and when he starts to kiss my neck in soft feather-like kisses, I fall apart. He is always the one who wants to make me feel good but I want to play the aggressor tonight.

“Take me to bed, Adam,” I moan.

“My pleasure, beautiful.”

When he sets me down gently on the floor next to his bed I have no idea what comes over me, but I become bold and reckless. I grip him and shove him down onto the mattress. He quirks his eyebrows up at me after I tell him exactly what I am about to do to him.

“You make me want to do things that I have never done before. Over the past few days you have done everything to please me. Now it’s my turn to please you.”

“Erin, you please me every day just by letting me be in your presence.”

“Shut up before I lose my nerve here. Now lay back and let me take matters into my own hands.”

I place my hand on his already engorged cock. I am not sure where this new Erin is coming from, but from the sounds of pleasure coming out of Adam’s mouth as I stroke him, it sounds like he likes her just as much as I do. I climb onto the bed and straddle him just above his knees, leaning my head forward and kissing every inch of his bare chest that I can find. I don’t even realize what I am doing until I hear the deepest growl come out of Adam’s mouth.
