Scars**
Bob lay groaning on the floor.
Cynthia stood over him, her face a
mask of fury. Jim, bruised and
battered, sat up in bed, watching
the scene unfold.
"Who sent you?" Cynthia
demanded, her voice low and
dangerous.
Bob, clutching his ribs, refused to

her muscular calves flexing as she
moved. He scrambled backward,
fear in his eyes.
"Cole," he finally blurted out. "Cole
sent me. He said you were asking
too many questions."
Cynthia's expression hardened. "Get
out," she spat. "And tell Cole that
I’m not easily intimidated."
Bob, still nursing his injuries,
stumbled out of the room and fled
down the stairs. Cynthia turned to
Jim, her expression softening.
"Are you alright, love?" she asked,
kneeling beside him.
"I'll live," Jim replied, wincing. "But
what was all that about? You're a
lot stronger than you let on."
Cynthia helped him to his feet. "I've
had to learn to defend myself over
the years," she said cryptically.
"Now, let's get you cleaned up."
She led him to the bathroom,

with surprising gentleness. As she
cleaned a cut on his forehead, Jim
couldn’t help but notice the strength
and definition in her arms. He felt a
strange mix of attraction and
intimidation. Don't forget to leave a Comment
