Mina listened as Asher and Les discussed her not eating, then went over her medication before leaving the RV. Finally, she lay on the bed and let herself have the cry she had been putting off. When she was done she felt better and a little more in control.
So far her plan was working better than she thought it would, although she had a feeling it had something to do with her epic meltdown this morning. She had only had that intense reaction twice before: once, when Derrick had snapped handcuffs on her in bed without discussing it with her, and when she was arrested after getting into an altercation with a woman who thought she was hitting on her husband. She was released when police reviewed the security cameras, but they found her catatonic in the backseat of the car and had to rush her to the hospital.
The bracelet had felt like a handcuff, and when she couldn't remove it she freaked out. She hoped he wasn't going to bring it up later. Groaning. She rolled out of bed and made sure all the blinds and curtains were closed before undressing and heading to the bathroom to shower. The hours of travel had left her feeling gross, and she was very grateful they had gotten a site with all the hookups so she could shower and not worry about running out of water. And use the lights and heat without fear of a generator shutting off. Asher had promised the majority of stops would have hookups to keep her comfortable.
She got out, dried herself off, and pulled on a pair of booty shorts and an oversized t-shirt. She climbed into bed and turned on the TV and was happy to see it had internet and streaming app capabilities. She set it up, entered her logins for her favorite streaming service, put on Doctor Who, and settled in to watch it while waiting for Asher to bring her the sleep aid. She felt a little nervous, there was only one bed in this RV, and it was king-sized, but still. She hoped she wouldn't have nightmares; the Ramelteon kept them at bay but stated it shouldn't be taken any more than two nights in a row, with two nights break. He had made it clear that he would strictly follow all schedules and dosages.
Asher came into the trailer and locked it up for the night, made a quick dig in the glove compartment for the sleep aid; tonight was the last night she could take it before the two-night break, before locking the rest up and putting the keys in the center console for the night. He headed to the bedroom, pausing outside the door when he heard the Doctor Who theme song. Chuckling to himself at how she kept surprising him, he knocked and let himself in.
Mina was curled into a ball, watching the TV show, and looked up as he walked in. "How long before these kick in?" He held up the pill.
"About twenty to thirty minutes. Why?"
"I want information."
She raised her eyebrow. "About?"
"Your burn scar." He watched as she shifted, clearly uncomfortable about it.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I want to know, and you said to make you scream." He came to her side of the bed and gave her the pill. "I'm going to go shower when I come out, it's up to you, but the next time you scream for me, I want to know." He turned and left the room, and a few minutes later, she heard the shower turn on. Mina looked down at the pill in her hand, then set it on the table next to the bed. He might be disappointed with her answer, but if he wanted to work for it, who was she to argue?
When he got out of the shower and entered the bedroom twenty minutes later, she looked up at him. He was standing in the doorway in his boxer briefs, scrubbing his head with a towel. Her eyes traveled over his chest and the faint outline of his abs, and she felt a wave of intense desire wash over her. Fuck, he was gorgeous. she could see the outline of his cock, and it made her swallow hard. She didn't know if she'd rather spend more time licking and sucking it or have it inside her. He smiled as he watched her check him out, and she noticed it was not the usual cold one. "Have you made up your mind?"
Mina swallowed and nodded. "And am I making you scream?" Mina glanced at the window and around the room as Asher came to her and leaned over her, so his face was just above hers.
"Will they hear me?"
"Does it matter if they do?" He brushed his nose along her jaw, and her breath stuttered.
"Might be embarrassing."
"Might be?" He kissed her neck. "Why?"
She gave a short laugh and tilted her head to give him more access. "For you, it's showing off how good you are. For me it's losing control and giving up my dignity."
His trailed kisses down her neck to her collarbone. "No, it's about giving yourself to me and letting go."
