I chuckle, glad for her talking back. “My father purchased a home and over the years purchased others around it for privacy. There are three other homes on the property we’ve purchased. One of the homes is for our employees, the cook, maids, and guards who protect our property. It’s admittedly the least appealing of the properties in size. The other two properties are empty of residents. However, they are refreshed often in my mother’s hope her children will move into one of them with our wives.”

“I thought you said you never wanted to get married?”

“I didn’t. Mothers live in constant hope. Or so I’m told.” I motion to her food, she’s only eaten a few of the pieces of sushi and one of the large shrimp. “Eat.”

She pushes her food away. “I’m not hungry anymore. Look, we need to discuss this. If you’re worried I’m going to take your money in a divorce or something, you don’t need to. I don’t care about money and especially not yours. Since you sold my home you can take me to the airport.”

Sipping my wine, I study her. She’s tense, waiting for my response.

“Come here,” I command.

Her breath quickens. My cock goes so fucking hard it hurts. Phoenixwantsme to command her. The brat doesn’t want me to let her go. She’s also afraid to get attached to me for fear one day I’ll walk away from her too—the way everyone else has in her life. I count to two internally and she’s up, inching her way toward me.

For the first time I understand all the rules in a way I hadn’t even attempted before. Yes, I could have anything I wanted with her—in the moment. It would be once her body cooled that her regret and resentment would form for what I took rather than she gave me. I always viewed the rules as protecting the sub, not the dom. Except it wasn’t just her or me they were protecting—it was us, our relationship.

Since I wasn’t going to play by any rules but my own, I need to be careful I didn’t have either one of us regretting anything in the light of the morning.

Once she’s close, I grasp her wrist and tug her into my lap, cradling her the way I’ve longed to since the last time I let her go. I watch, loving the way she attempts to maintain a straight spine yet slowly sinks into me with the smallest of sighs.

I lean over the table, grabbing her plate and setting it next to mine. Dipping the fried shrimp in the dark sauce she used for the shrimp alone before I offer it to her. Her sexy as fuck mouth tightens. “I don’t want to be treated like a child…it isn’t about that.”

“I’ll treat you the way you act. I do not like you not taking care of yourself. You didn’t eat your breakfast this morning.”

“How do you know that?”

“Eat and I’ll answer the question.” I nod down at the shrimp still inches from her mouth.

Rolling her eyes, she takes a bite and chews slowly. A flare of heat appears and grows in the center of my chest. Odd, I’m not quite sure what it is. I offer her my wine when she’s done. She takes the smallest of sips. A little sigh of satisfaction escapes her. And there the heat flares again. This time stronger and flowing from my chest throughout my body.

“How do you know I didn’t eat? Amaya hasn’t been here today.”

“Yes, and she won’t be. Now that you’re healed and me putting my hands on you won’t result in you in pain, in case I lose my head with you, everything you need I’ll give you.”

She goes still. “Lose your head?”

I offer her a piece of sushi, dipping it into spicy mayo she used only for the sushi. “A bite for an answer,” I state my price. “And roll your eyes again for another spanking.”

Her mouth tightens before she opens it for the sushi. As she chews it, tension I wasn’t aware of lifts at the same time the heat appears again.

“Lose my head, as in I’m far bigger and stronger than you when you aren’t recovering from a broken arm as well as a stab wound with stitches. I didn’t want my desire to get away from me. Normally, I am proud of my self-control when it comes to a beautiful woman. I didn’t realize it was simply a matter of never being truly tested when I woke up with you in my arms,” I admit.

The wash of red over her cheeks is more than I can take. I give in to need and run a finger down her cheek. Mine. My woman. I recognize the flare of heat now: it’s pleasure. Feeding her, taking care of her, gives me pleasure. Interesting, it never has before.

“You didn’t answer my question,” she blurts out. “How did you know I didn’t eat breakfast?” I select another shrimp. “No. You didn’t answer the question. I’m not eating anything else until you answer it.”

I dip the shrimp and offer it to her. She squeezes her eyes closed then sighs and opens her mouth. When I slide it inside her mouth she takes a bite and chews, refusing to open her eyes.

Swiping my thumb over her lower lip, I lower my lips to her ear. “I’ve been watching you on cameras that are scattered throughout the condo. I like watching you. It’s actually pretty fucking addictive to watch you.”

“That’s extremely creepy, Aleksander,” she mutters as she shakes her head. “Why is your house filled with cameras?”

Nuzzling her neck, I inhale the scent of her skin. Her little sigh goes straight to my cock. “I’ve stroked my cock to you twice a day every day. You are the last thing I see before I close my eyes and even though I didn’t put the cameras in, Milos did for his woman. If we move I’m taking the cameras with me. This was his place for years. Something happened and he gave it to me instead.”

Another blush. “Why did he put in cameras?”

I bite back my chuckle at how she doesn’t say a thing about me stroking my cock to her. I’m also lying. I stroked my cock at least three times, sometimes four times a day to her.

Before I can reach for a shrimp, she sighs. “I’m full.”
