After telling him to wait, I made my way downstairs and called security, giving the order to let him in.
When he finally pulled up and stepped out of his car, seeing him again shattered every thought I had rehearsed. I wanted him. I just didn't know how much yet.
We went straight to my room.
He sat down, silently watching me for a while before finally speaking.
"I'm sorry... about this morning," he said, his voice low, almost hesitant.
I looked at him, but said nothing. He went on.
"Everything I said. I didn't mean for it to come out like that. I wasn't trying to hurt you."
I nodded. "It's okay… I'm not thinking too much about it anymore."
But that was a lie.
Looking at Zayn now, I knew exactly why he was here. It wasn't just to say sorry. He was addicted, not just to my voice, but to my control, my dominance. He came for sex. And I hated how obvious it was, written all over his face.
Then he turned to me, his voice quiet but certain.
