His gaze looked almost satiated, his face flushed. There was a dominant, possessive expression that had her stilling while watching him warily.
“While you’re here, until I can get you home, until I can ensure your safety you will stay within this suite. You will sleep in my bed and you will belong to me. ”
Well hell, and here she thought she already did.
But she kept her lips wisely closed and simply stared back at him defiantly, even if she really didn’t feel that much defiance.
And her reward?
His gaze flamed with lust again.
His expression tightened with it.
And if she wasn’t mistaken his cock was harder, thicker beneath the damp cotton of the loose trousers he still wore.

“Are you on birth control?”
Abram asked as Paige pulled on the long, winter-warm gray thobe he had handed her moments before.
The loose dresslike garment flowed around her rather shapelessly but it covered her, and it was warm.
“Paige. ” He repeated her name, obviously expecting an answer.
Lifting her head she stared back at him, still amazed that she had, less than an hour ago, climaxed in his arms as though she were exploding from the inside out, and he still hadn’t fully had sex with her.
“I’m protected,” she replied. “I’m the one that can get pregnant, so I’m the one that makes certain it doesn’t happen. ”
“I’ll need to have whatever you take collected quickly,” he told her. “Give me the name and dosage so I can have Tariq acquire it. ”
She stared back at him implacably. “You make it sound as though I’m going to be stuck here indefinite, Abram. ”
He moved slowly from the other side of the room, his expression brooding as he watched her, intense. “It may be a while,” he finally told her. “And I don’t want to take chances. ”
“I’m not staying here a while. ” A frown jumped between her brows. “Call someone. Khalid or my father, either one could have a transport here to fly me out within hours. ”
“And Azir will have you killed the moment he learns that a transport is heading in this direction. ”
Paige stared back at him miserably. She couldn’t risk staying here. God, why had she left Khalid’s home?
“Tell me what I need to know, Paige, then we’ll fight over the rest of it later. ”
Her lips thinned. She knew that expression on his face. The hard, steely-eyed expression that assured her he meant exactly what he said.
If she wanted to discuss going home, then she would tell him exactly what he wanted to know.
Once she got home, if he decided to resume whatever started here, then he would have to rethink these stubborn tactics of his.
“I only take the medication once every three months,” she finally told him, though she hated the necessity of it. “My last dose was just before your less-than-sane father had me kidnapped. ”
Crossing her arms over her breasts, she all but stomped to the couch positioned in front of the fireplace and plopped into the amazingly comfortable cushions. That comfort didn’t make up for the fact that the Abram she was facing right now was little more than a stranger to her.
“Now, when am I going home?” she questioned him.
“When it’s convenient to send you home. ” He shrugged as though it didn’t matter, as though she were there for a friendly visit rather than being brought there forcibly.
“When it’s convenient?” she asked him carefully. “And when do you think it might be convenient to take care of that little matter?”
