He let go of her throat as he came inside her, his cock buried so deep that he might never leave. He collapsed on top of her, his head nestled in the crook of her neck. He could feel her pulse pounding wildly, and could hear her gasping for air. He lifted his head to look at her, making sure that she was okay, but her look of utter pleasure made his heart swell in his chest. She slowly opened her eyes to look up at him and gave him a slow smile.
He leaned forward to give her a slow kiss, before pulling away and murmuring, “You’re mine, Scarlett. I won’t ever let you go.”
She stared up into his eyes. “I don’t know that I want you to,” she whispered back, a hint of vulnerability leaking into her eyes. “I don’t think I could ever feel as safe as I do with you.”
“Did I hurt you? Scare you?” he asked her carefully.
She smiled smugly at him. “You hurt me, but just the way I wanted.”
He looked at her throat and a primal satisfaction burned through him at the bruises that were already forming around her throat. He should feel shame, but they were his own personal brand that declared her as his, and he didn’t give a fuck. He looked back into her eyes. “No bad moments?”
“Only the ones you already helped me through,” she assured him. “I promise, Rogue. That was hot.”
He chuckled. “Good.” He kissed her again and pulled out, letting out a low hiss at the sensation. He climbed out of the bed and went into the bathroom to grab a washcloth and clean up. He came back out and saw that Scarlett hadn’t moved, her eyes closed. He gently moved to wipe between her legs, making her give a soft moan, and she opened her eyes to stare down at him.
“You didn’t wear a condom again,” she said. It wasn’t an accusation, more of an observation, if he guessed right by her tone.
“I don’t want anything between us,” he said firmly. “I’m clean, and I got the results to prove it. You haven’t been with anyone in three years, and I imagine the first thing you did when you got home was get yourself tested.”
She nodded. “I’m clean, but that’s not the only thing we need to worry about. I could get pregnant. I’m not on anything.”
He looked at her for a moment, his mind processing. “If you get pregnant, then we deal with it,” he said finally. “Or you talk to Doc and he can put you on something. That’s your choice, but I don’t want anything between us.”
“I don’t really want a baby right now, so I’ll go to a clinic,” she said firmly.
“Go see Doc,” he ordered her.
“I don’t know Doc,” she said with a sigh.
“He’s a brother here that’s a doctor. All the girls go to him instead of the clinics in town. He’s here, and he knows his shit.”
“But I don’t know him, Rogue,” she said with a sigh, slowly sitting up to look at him. “I’m not comfortable with men doing that kind of thing with me. They have to do a Pap test before they can give you birth control and—”
“A what test?” he growled.
She stared at him. “He sticks a device in my vagina and takes a swab of my cervix to make sure I don’t have any cancerous cells growing,” she explained.
“Like fuck,” he snarled. The idea of his brother doing that made his vision red.
“Rogue, it’s a routine part of going on birth control, it needs to be done,” Scarlett explained patiently. “But I don’t know him and don’t know if I’m comfortable with him doing that for me.”
He wanted to snarl that no way in hell was he going to let his brother do it, but at the same time, he didn’t want to risk her safety and take her to a clinic. There were too many unknowns and ways to get in. With everything going on with the traffickers, he didn’t want to risk it. “Fuck,” he hissed. “Look, just talk to Doc, and if you’re still not comfortable, I’ll take you to the clinic in town. But I’ll be there while he does the test.”
“You will not,” she said firmly. “This is private, Rogue.”
“You act like I wasn’t just inside you,” he said mildly. “I’m going to be there, Scarlett. Deal with it.”
“No,” she snapped.
“Scarlett,” he growled in warning.
“Rogue, sex is one thing, but I won’t have you there for this. It’s not something I want you to see or be a part of. You can wait outside the door like every other boyfriend and let me have my dignity. Okay? The girls might want to talk to him too, and they definitely won’t want you to be there.”
“Why the fuck would the girls need to talk to him?” Rogue snarled. “He’s not touching them.”
Scarlett heaved out a breath. “Look, Rogue, you need to cool it about this when the girls are around, okay? The girls, by no fault of their own, were forced into sexual activity at a young age, and there are some diseases that can be passed from the man only and cause cancer and other problems. So the girls have to get checked every year or two. If they were sexually active they would need check ups more often, but since they aren’t we get away with waiting a while. I doubt they’re going to want to talk to Doc about it or have him do the exam, but they should know the option is there.”
He wanted to rage about it, but instead he moved to the side of the bed and tossed the cloth to the floor. He’d get it in the morning. He slid back against the headboard and pulled her into his arms. “Fuck,” he sighed. “I’m sorry, baby. I hate that this happened to them and you. You shouldn’t have to worry about any of this.”
