So, the comments from the last chapter made me want to explore Prissy's thought process in this. Again, under 2000 words which has actually made this a bit of a challenge. I have to be decisive on what I want to say. Anyway, I hope you like it.
***************
I know there's something wrong with him.
He shows you who he is, if you let him. I got to see it first hand, belly to an oak desk that probably cost more than I could have made in a year. With my legs and wrists bound, I met him raw and ready. I should be ashamed or angry but I love him.
My grandmamma always said 'love is a stubborn blind ass that usually doesn't have enough sense to walk straight let alone pull your cart'. In all that country talk, I guess I could see my situation. This man ruled my body with a mixture of iron fist and velvet glove but just the thought of us together could ruin me completely.
Was it lust? I prayed hard, night and day for guidance and even without the sex, I cared for him. Inside his arms while we slept is the safest place I've ever known. I could sit and watch him sleep if I could catch him. It was love and there was nothing I could do about it.
Not that I wanted to. We may have started off... differently, but I wasn't complaining. Every day with Dylan was a gift to the senses. A preacher's daughter from backwoods Georgia was living in the lap of luxury with a modern day Adonis.
I curled up on the lounge as I watched him take another lap in the pool under our house. The low lights reflected off the pool water in a shimmering glow on the short belted caftan I wore. Its coral color worked well with my skin. He chose it, of course. His taste was impeccable to the point of annoyance.
He made another lap and raised his head, looking in my directions. His goggles made it hard to read his eyes. I raised an eyebrow. I didn't think he had anything planned; his mother would be at the house soon. He lifted himself from the water effortlessly and I had to stare in awe of his amazing body.
Dylan walked towards me and lifted the goggles to his cap. "How are you feeling, Georgia Peach?"
My mouth fell open and I narrowed my eyes at him. It wasn't that I hated it but that pet name immediately took my mind to the worst places. I slid my legs out of the way so he could sit down.
"I was doing just fine..."
"Was?" He took my legs into his lap, his bulge rubbed against my calf through his wet Speedo.
"I'm going to be ashy now." He laughed ran a finger up my ticklish arches and I tried to snatch my legs back. His arm trapped my legs as he continued to tickle.
"Prissy? What's the matter?"
"Oh my God, Dylan!" I laughed and writhed on the lounge, trying to free myself. "Mercy! Mercy!"
He chuckled and released me. I watched him reach up and pull off the goggles then the cap. His hair fell down and stuck to his face. "Shower with me."
I moved to sit up and nod. "Alright."
He grabbed my hand and helped me up before guiding me to the shower next to the pool. I let him pull the dress over my head, the elastic belt giving over my breasts. My bra and panties were removed next and put on the colored glass sink.
"Your body..."
I resisted the urge to shield it from his inspection. Dylan didn't like when I hid from him. I considered our relationship a crash course in self esteem.
