Earlier, when she'd kneeled down to give him a blowjob, her mind had flashed back to another place and another time when she'd been hit repeatedly and left half dead, forced to swallow some asshole's cock. Just for a second.
But then, she'd heard Alex's groan, felt him tremble beneath her grip and the incredible lust she'd felt looking up at him had swept away those horrible images. She'd managed to defeat the shame and fear those men had made her feel with Alex's help.
God knows she'd tried to feel something, even a modicum of what she'd felt with Alex after recovering from her ordeal. But had only managed to run away when the guy she had picked up in a random bar had simply kissed her. Cat felt lighter now...somehow, as if the act had freed her senses and emotions.
