No, he doesn't. He has no idea that I have a heart problem or that I'd been seeing a specialist about it before he took me captive... Or that...in a way, I am glad that he took me away from my life because, while my sister Summer means well, she is stifling me with all of that attention. In a way, he set me free. Does he know that? Now, all I have to do is take back the ability to make my own choices. I tilt up my chin, "You've barely scratched the surface of who I am."
"Hmm." He draws his gaze down my features, over my chest, "And what a thing of beauty that is, too."
My nipples grow erect. "Get out."
His smile widens.
"I need to change."
"Go right ahead."
Bastard. Of course, he’d taunt me about that. I march up to the clothes folded on the bed. There’s a pale yellow dress, and next to it, underwear—a matching bra and panties set. My cheeks flush. Did he choose my underwear? Nah, he probably had it ordered or something for me, not that I am going to ask him. That will simply reveal just how nervous I am. I take in the comfortable ballet pumps next to the bed on the floor. Not my style, but at least they look comfortable.
His gaze bores into mine and the skin around his eyes tightens. A strange nervousness seems to roll off of him as he flexes his shoulders. He can’t be nervous. Can he? Nah, it’s my imagination. Alphahole here isn’t be afraid of anything…or anyone. All of this is just a ruse to get me naked. If he thinks I am going to shrink away from it…he’s…mistaken. I tip up my chin, drop the towel.
His entire body stiffens. A breeze blows in from the window and I shiver.Look at the clothes. Reach for them. Put them on. Do it. Cover yourself.I grip my fingers at my side, try to glance away from his perusal, but I can’t. He walks over, until he’s right in front of me. So big, so tall. I have to tilt my head back, and then further back, to meet his gaze. Blue eyes deepened to an azure steel reflect back every single one of my emotions. Uncertainty. Lust. Desire. His gaze rests on my features, down to my lips. A moan wells up my throat. Down to my nipples which instantly pebble, across my trembling belly, to the slippery core between my thighs.
"Open your legs."
No.
No.
"Yes." He jerks his chin. I shuffle my feet apart. Draw in a breath. Another. Dense clouds of heat spool off of his massive body, and slam into my chest. I pant. His gaze rolls down my thighs to my feet. My toes curl. Then back to my pussy. Liquid heat thrums low in my belly. Blood engorges my nub. Hell. Is it my own audacity that’s turning me on as much as the fact that he can’t seem to take his gaze off my cunt?
"Che cazzo," he exclaims, "is that what I think it is?"
"What do you think it is?"
"When did you get your clit pierced?"
"None of your bloody business." I'd have had my nipples pierced too, but that would have been too obvious, and if my sister had picked up on it? Gah, Summer would have had a cow about it.
Maybe, once I escape this asshole, and I've told Summer that I am safe, I'll figure out a way to be independent and stand on my own two feet without having to be dependent on anyone else... Then I can pierce any bloody part of my body and I won't have to explain it to anyone.
His lips twist, "You’re wrong, Beauty. Everything about you is my business. You’re my property now, you understand?"
"I’m a woman, a person, you bastard. I am not a possession."
"Wrong." He yawns. "When you left your life behind, you gave up all rights. Now you’ll do everything I tell you to, when I tell you to, how I…" he leans forward on his heels, "tell you to."
“I didn’t leave my life behind. You took me,” I object.
“Tomayto, tomahto; potayto, potahto.”
“Let’s call the whole thing off,” I retort.
He raises his eyebrow. “As I was saying, you’re mine now, and you’ll do as I say...”
"No."
"Yes." He nods, "Starting with that." He jerks his chin toward my core.
"What the hell do you mean?" I scowl.
"You need to shave."
I blink. "Excuse me?"
"I’ll send someone to help you clean up the hair." He pivots, then begins to walk toward the door. "I prefer it completely bare."
Anger explodes in my chest. My gaze narrows. All of my senses seem to pop. A low cry spills from my lips. I close the distance between us and throw myself at him.
