"I can-""Shh." He rose his eyes to hers, then looked down to the angry finger imprints around her neck. She watched as the simmering anger in his eyes boiled over. Bowing her head in resignation, she let him wash her in her bra and panties. In that moment, she didn't care. Her mind wandered. She drifted in and out of her body, remembering words that cut through her, and images that caused her heart to pound against her ribcage. When a hand landed on her shoulder, she flinched, spun around, and instantly cried out in pain."Fuck, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."Her knees buckled. He caught her and with his arms around her waist, helped her out of the shower cubicle. In the bathroom's front space, he draped her in a towel and led her into the room. Handing her a robe, he briefly left the room for her to put it on, and to hand Lola over to the vet who'd come at his beckoning. Knocking twice, he stepped back into the room, holding a cup of grape juice. Beth sat on the bad, ramrod straight. Sitting

She forced air into her lungs and held it before slowly letting go. After repeating the procedure a few more times, her racing heart began to slow down. Her lungs didn't feel as tight."That's right, baby girl. Breathe in and out. Good," Brandon spoke in her ear.She looked to Brandon with tired eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry." Brandon watched Beth's eyes close as she fell asleep. Sherlie and Brian who had been stood at her room's door watching the whole ordeal, followed Brandon after he partially left the door open and went to the living room.Unable to sit, Brandon began pacing the length of the living room."I have never seen Beth that scared before. Ever." As he ranted, he racked his brain. What could have possibly made her react like that? She had looked so scared and helpless. She was plain terrified. With a puzzled look on his face, Brian pulled out a dining chair and lowered onto it. Sherlie stood with her back against the wall, deep in thought."What happened before we came i

Brandon went quiet, darting his eyes from one of hers to the other. Because I am stuck in love with you. "Well, because...." He trailed a finger down her face. ".... Because you are my Elizabeth, and I adore you. You and all your craziness," he said, making a face at the last part that made her laugh. His heart lifted at the sound of her laughter. "I feel..." She exhaled with a smile on her face. "I feel better. So much more better. Thank you, Brandon. Thank you." "Thank you for talking to me." "You have done more smiling and shown more emotions today than I have ever seen you show in public," she teased. "Has Brandon Wade gone soft?" His expression changed. He feigned a military look so quickly, she blinked in surprise. "Don't push it." She threw her head back and cackled. Hiding a giddy smile, he got out of bed and began for the door. "Come get breakfast," he called out behind him. Once he was at the doors she called to him. He turned around to look at her. "Don't take a

As she spoke, she made a conscious effort to move all around the room, touching things and letting things catch her attention. She hoped it would help shake off her arousal. She also hoped she would be turned around when he came out of the bathroom. She heaved out a sigh of relief when she heard the water stop hitting the floor, and the patter of feet that followed. Upon stepping out of the bathroom, Brandon smiled at the image she painted. His woman, in his space, curiously examining his things. Deciding to not interrupt her talking, he carried on into the closet. A few minutes later, he came out in a red t-shirt and black shorts. "Yup," he responded to a question she randomly asked. Beth turned when she heard him right behind her. She took in his fit. Better, but not much. Those shorts did nothing to disguise his toned thighs, and the shirt loosely hugged his torso. When he leaned towards her, familiarity made her wrap her arms around his neck. His palms took a hold of her thighs an

"Elizabeth, you are being unreasonable." "Unreasonable?!" She yelled, unable to hold it in. "I am being 'unreasonable'?! You have the guts to-- okay," she abruptly ended, nodding her head. "Okay," she repeated. He watched her turn around and reach for a plate. His eyes followed her as she dished rice into the plate and drizzled her sauce on top. She then turned around and walked out of the kitchen, breezing past him. He stood there, listening to her retreating footsteps. A few seconds later, he heard her room door close. Overcome with confusion, annoyance and disbelief, he was heading out of the kitchen when his phone buzzed. Yanking it out of his pocket, he read a single text from Brian. 'Brandon!!!' He scrunched up his face. What was his problem? Unlocking his phone, he went to text Brian back when he saw he had 4 unread messages from him. The first message was a link. The second message read, 'Beth and Sherlie saw this at 1 a.m. She's deleted it, but a lot of people already rep

Gritting her teeth, she shut off the water and got out of the bathroom. Lola followed, licking up the water that trailed down her legs. She dressed up and sat on the floor with Lola, rubbing her fur and petting her, seeking a distraction. When her butt began to feel numb and she was tired of stewing in her gloomy mood, she got up and called to Lola. They both went to the door. Upon hearing her door's lock click, Brandon pushed against the wall he had been leaning against with his hands in his pockets and stood straight. She looked at him, mildly wondering at the amount of time he had stood there for. He took the scowl on her face, the slight dip of her brows and her slumped shoulders. All tell tail signs that she was not in a pleasant mood. As if called by the universe to prove his suspicion right, he saw the closed shut and icy look that suddenly entered her eyes. She tried for an erect position and breezed past him, saying,"Don't talk to me."Brandon let out a deep sigh. "Elizabeth

The next morning, Brandon walked into the living room to find Beth in a pair of black booty shorts and a white t-shirt crop top, with her hair all askew in a messy bun, dancing to a native Italian music, the mop she was using to clean the floor serving as her dance partner. His brows shot up. His eyes sought out the source of the music and true enough, he spotted her phone sat atop a black boom box on the dining table. As his eyes found their way back to her dancing body, a smile began budding on his face. He slunk back into the hallway and leaned against the wall to watch. Beth, oblivious to his presence, fluidly moved her body in time to the beat of the song, twirling her dance partner along with her. As she swiped the wet floor with the mop hairs at intervals, she moved her waist every which way, entirely drugged by the song. Brandon watched her hips twist and grind in ways that had his mouth drying out, pleasantly surprised at her fluidity. What a sight to wake up to. She dipped
Boomerang bet Chapter 27
Beth strolled into the kitchen and blindly pressed her body into Brandon's, closing her eyes in exhaustion. Brandon who had been leaned against a counter eating an apple, wrapped an arm around her, hiding a smile behind his apple. "How's training with Frederico going?""I will get you back for this," she muttered tiredly. He threw his head back and laughed. It had been three weeks since Frederico had started teaching her self defense and in all that time, she had only been able to make him smile twice. Twice! Her body had hit the mat more times than she could count, and that was him being gentle. How about victory? Victory who? Victory had become a stranger to her. The closest she had come to flattening Frederico was by slapping his bum. When he'd frozen in shock, she sent her foot into the back of his knee and even then, he only fell to one knee! That was it. No victory whatsoever. Huffing, she pulled away and glared up at him. "You try going up against Frederico.""He has," Freder
