"Miss Linna, relax. Your joints are flexible, but I need to work through this tension."

"Uh... okay..."

I squeezed my eyes shut, overcome with shame.

Wilder let out a low chuckle.

His palm slid onto my lower belly.

"Just relax. I'm going to use a bit more pressure now."

"Fine..."

I gripped the sheets so hard my knuckles turned white.

Wilder climbed onto the table, hovering over me.

His arms braced on either side of my shoulders.

His scent enveloped me―clean, masculine, and intoxicating.

He pressed his palm firmly into my stomach, circling and kneading.

I curled my toes, praying I wouldn't moan.

His hand crept upward, his fingers hooking the edge of my silk underwear.

"You have the best body I've ever seen, Miss Linna. I'm sure your husband adores you."

His words made my eyes sting with tears.

"Don't cry. Whatever is going on, I can help you."

Wilder's voice was gravelly as he wiped a tear from my cheek.

I shook my head.

Even though I felt a rush of desire, I was still married to Caden.

I couldn't betray him.

"It's nothing. My eyes are just sensitive today."

Wilder narrowed his eyes, a flicker of irritation crossing his face.

"If you go skydiving without the proper conditioning, you'll get hurt."

Fear shot through me.

"Coach, I need to learn fast. Please, help me."

Wilder led me to a larger training room filled with specialized equipment.

He explained a few things, but it was all a blur to me.

He was the professional, so I decided to trust him.

"I'll do whatever you say, Coach."

Wilder stepped behind me, grabbing my shoulders and pushing me down.

"Spread your legs wider. Drop your hips. This position is for..."

He reached down and forced my legs apart.

He shoved me into an incredibly humiliating pose.

"There. Hold that."

My face was crimson.

I did yoga often, so it didn't hurt, but the shame made me tremble.

"Coach, is this really necessary?"

"Why? Can't handle it?"

His hot breath hit my ear, and my heart hammered against my ribs.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of warmth between my legs.

I was wet.

I instinctively reached down to cover myself, but Wilder snatched my wrist.

"Don't move!"

The man behind me laughed softly, his voice dark and raspy.

"You're quite sensitive, aren't you, Miss Linna?"

I bit my lip, wishing the floor would swallow me whole.

"Stop... stop talking like that!"

I shoved him away and bolted for the locker room.

I grabbed my bag and pulled out a brand-new toy.

Ever since Caden stopped touching me, this was the only way I could survive the lonely nights.

It took me forever to get the frequency right.

I had just turned it on and started to feel the relief when the door opened.

Wilder walked in without knocking.

"Everything is ready. We can do a trial jump now."

I jumped out of my skin.

The vibration spiked, and I let out a sharp gasp, snapping my legs shut.

Wilder's face was flushed, but his eyes were full of predatory interest.

He grabbed the hand I was hiding behind my back.

He suddenly took my fingers into his mouth, sucking gently.

"Your hands are so small and delicate. Can they really satisfy you?"
