her head. The
stiletto heels she wore had his hand coming to his mouth.
“You look…beautiful.” And she did. Absolutely gorgeous.
“Are you sure? I didn’t think it would fit at first,
but it does. I guess my master was right. My hard work is paying off.” She
smiled brightly. Seeing her happy definitely made him feel better about the
letter. He still didn’t like this guy, though. Not one bit.
Torrance ran his hand through his hair. “You have
been working hard. I can definitely tell the difference.”
“Awesome.” She turned to leave and stopped, facing
him again. “Tor?”
“Yes, doll?”
She smiled. “Never mind.” Cate walked back to the room. When she appeared again, she was wearing a new
pair of workout clothes and had her laptop. “Can you help me set this up? I’d
like to check my new email real quick.”
Great. Now
he’d never get to spend time with her. She’d probably be on there checking the damn thing nonstop. “Cate, about the pictures.” He put in the code and handed the computer back to her.
She blushed and quickly looked away. “No worries,
Torrance. I can take them on my own. You don’t have to subject yourself to
that.”
The email was quickly brought up, but Torrance
couldn’t stop staring at her. “You’re actually going to send him the pictures
of you with toys?”
One message awaited her in the email and she clicked
on it and started downloading the attachments. “That’s what my master wants.
Are you saying I should deny his orders? Torrance, you know better than that.”
A picture of a man with dark hair appeared on the
screen. Torrance leaned forward and his hate grew by the second. This whole
time he’d been expecting some fat, middle-aged, balding guy, but Cate’s new master
was far from that. He looked to be in his early to mid-thirties and very
attractive, for a man. Cate was smiling as she flipped through the different
pictures of his trip to Brazil. Most of them were with fighters–– MMA , by his best guess.
“He’s very handsome. I guess he’s mixed in with this
sport?” The last picture of him was from the waist up. The muscle on the man’s defined
body had Torrance clenching his fists. She closed out the screen and started
reading through the email. “Oh, he’s a strength and conditioning coach! It
makes sense now. He’s coming home after the big fight.”
Torrance pushed from the couch as she re-opened the
pictures. He couldn’t stand to look at the guy for one more second. The
possessiveness he felt over Cate surprised even him. He’d already claimed her,
dammit. She should have belonged to him. The masochist inside of him made him take one last glance at the man’s
face. His appearance shouldn’t have mattered, but to Torrance, it did.
“Hey, you want go for a walk downtown? We can browse
in some of the shops if you want.” He grabbed bottled water from the fridge and
noticed she was still glued to the computer screen.
Cate turned after a few seconds. “I was actually
going to work out a bit more. If you want we can go after I finish. Maybe we
can catch lunch at the new vegan restaurant in town. I’m sure if I got to look
at the menu I could find something I liked.”
A groan came from his mouth. “Don’t you just want a
big, juicy steak instead? Maybe with some steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes?
Or how about some ribs, or a hamburger? Come on, Cate.” He laughed as her eyes
closed. “You know you want to.”
“You torture me, Tor! That’s not fair.”
He scaled the back of the couch and landed next to
her. “Give in to temptation, Cate. It’s a delicious act.”
The atmosphere changed when he saw her looking at
his lips. Her eyes rose and met his. “Temptation usually has consequences. It’s
good while going through the act. What happens after that?”
“Only one way to find out.” Torrance gently brushed his finger over her full lips. The strength behind
Cate’s hand as she grabbed his to still the
stiletto heels she wore had his hand coming to his mouth.
“You look…beautiful.” And she did. Absolutely gorgeous.
