RAOUL

She tries so hard to hide her tears, and the way she looks back at me is so conflicted. She’s hurting, she’s hateful, but she’s also enthralled.

Before she can change her mind, I press my lips over hers. I kiss Evelyn Lane for the second time in my life, knowing that it will sting and satisfy all at the same time.

I try to be gentle, but it doesn’t take long for instinct to take over.

I’ve fucked a lot of women over the years, but in my mind, there has only ever been one I truly desired.

Her.

I've spent a lot of lonely hours thinking about what I’d do with her if I ever had her.

I want to give her everything, but I also want to take. I want to own her body, I want her full submission. Nothing would look more beautiful than the sight of her begging, and that’s exactly what I intend to make her do for me tonight.

“Have you eaten?” I pull my mouth away from her to ask.

“Have I what?” she laughs,

“Have you eaten, it’s a simple question, Evelyn.” I don’t mean to sound so stern, but I never ask questions unless the answers are important.

“Um, not since breakfast.” She looks up at me, confused.

“Then you must eat.” I take her hand in mine and lead her back into the hall where Ludo is standing on guard.

“Ludo, let Wendy know that I have a dinner guest. We’ll eat outside.” I keep us moving, passing through my office and then out onto the terrace that overlooks the mountains.

“Sit.” I pull out a chair and gesture with my head for her to do as I instruct, and my cock twitches when she places herself down so obediently. I clench my fist to stop myself from stroking my hand over her head as a reward like she's a good little pet.

“Are you on birth control?” I cut straight to the chase, taking the seat opposite her. Usually, these things take more planning, but I only have one night and I’m not prepared to waste a moment of it.

“Wow, you sure know how to talk a girl into bed, Raoul,” she teases me. Reminding me, again, how much I’ve missed that sassy mouth of hers. We’ll see how smart it is when I’m fucking it so deep that she’s choking on me.

“Answer the question.” I narrow my eyes at her, hoping it will help her understand the seriousness of this conversation.

“I’m a twenty-five-year-old woman living in LA, of course, I’m on birth control,” she answers back sarcastically, and I can’t think about the fact that Fabian wouldn’t have been the only man out there who had her.

“Do you have any hard limits?” I check.

“Hard what?” The shocked look on her face insinuates to me that Evelyn is a lot more innocent than I’ve given her credit for.

That pleases me, a lot.

“Hard limits, meaning is there anything you forbid me to do to you?”

“It would be good if you didn’t kill me.” She bites her lip at the same time as she smiles, and it makes me want to fuck her right here, right now.

“This is a serious conversation,” I warn her. “We need to lay out ground rules before we proceed.”

“Suppose I’m gonna need a safe word too?” She snorts a tiny little laugh, then stops the moment she realizes I don’t appreciate her sense of humor.

“You will absolutely need a safe word,” I warn, throwing a deadly serious stare across the table at her. If she thinks this is a game, she’s wrong, and she’ll get fucking hurt.

“Raoul, I thought we were gonna spend the night together. Why does it have to be so drawn out and complicated?” She lowers her voice and blushes as she takes the glass of iced water from the tray that Wendy brings out to us.

“Because this is the way I do things, and it’s crucial that we set boundaries before anything happens between us,” I explain, nodding my head at Wendy to thank her.
