She let out a breathy moan.
I clamped my mouth on the flesh of her collarbone, my hands sliding their way back up her body to cup her breasts. She moaned again, arching her back, grinding her body against me as she rubbed my shoulders.
She was into this.
I dipped my head lower, allowing my nose to trail against her skin as I moved down from her collarbone to the under-curve of her breasts. I kissed the skin there and looked up at her, my eyes pleading.
I had never wanted anyone quite like this.
And it terrified me.

ANNABELLE
I lockedeyes with Luca and my heart pounded in my chest. The gravity of all of this hung heavily in the air, and I had no idea how the hell to make it better.
My dad. Luca was supposed to be leaving to meet him.
I could feel the intensity and the anticipation fall off of him like beads of sweat. He was pacing in front of my open doorway. His feet clanked against the floor with fervor, and I couldn’t help but stare at his feet every time they stomped.
Was he nervous?
I was supposed to agree to marry Luca for some kind of power struggle between him and my father. And I was supposed to do so without batting an eye like some pathetic servant.
I was supposed to be OK with the fact that Luca had given me an ultimatum. I marry him or my father dies.
I wasn’t OK with any of it.
And yet, as appalled as I was at the entire situation, I wasn’t sure howtorturousbeing around Luca was supposed to be in the long run.
Because in every heated moment, I saw something in him that was different than what he wanted to portray.
In every embrace.
In every kiss.
In every moment I had stupidly allowed to happen. There was something there.
I hated that I felt something for him.
Who does that?
Who feels something for their kidnapper?
I knew I needed a full psychological evaluation if I ever got out of this situation.
Not only had he kidnapped me, but he had baited me, lured me, lied to me, andthenkidnapped me after ensuring we had sex one final time — although, it wasn’t a final time.
I groaned slightly and shook away my lecherous thoughts.
Deeper than all that, I was feeling something for a man that not only threatened my life but my father’s.
What kind of crazy lunaticenjoyedthe company of someone like that?
Had I gone nuts?!
And why the hell was I suddenly worried about this asshole?
