“Loyal men don’t fall for that shit. You don’t want it if you don’t look.”

“Impressive, but I bet a lot of women put it right in your face,” I said, shrugging my shoulders. I don’t even know how we got to this part of the conversation, but I was kind of liking the thoughtful expression on his face like,yeah, you made a good point.

“I still wouldn’t. Despite what you think, I have no interest in fucking a bunch of women. You wanna know why?”

“Why?”

“It leads to a lot of fucking problems, and the last thing I need is more problems, when I’ve got the biggest one of all locked in my basement.” He smiled in a way that was more of a sneer, but I only laughed.

“Oh, you havenoidea what kind of problem I am.”

“Yes, I do,” he growled, leaning within inches of my face. “I’ll tell you exactly what kind of problem you are.”

“And what’s that?” I choked out, my voice sultry and heavy with the moisture pooling between my legs.

“You’re the kind that once I start, I won’t be able to let go of.”

The answer makes my head spin, and before I can stop myself, I blurt out, “Has that ever happened to you before?”

He smiled. “Nope, and I don’t think it’s a risk you wanna take.”

I trembled as he ran his fingers along the base of my jaw, stopping when he made it to my chin, his thumb pressing against my bottom lip. My heart hammered in my chest as he leaned forward, like he might kiss me, and then left me hanging. His eyes bored into mine, and I struggled to breathe, only one thing on my mind.

“But what if Idowant to take the risk?” I nearly whispered, unable to see or feel anything but him.

He shook his head, ripping himself away from me. “Youdon’twant to.”

And with that, he stormed away, leaving me breathless and more aroused than I had ever been in my entire life.

Chapter 10

Axle

Holy fucking shit.

No woman had ever brought me so close to the verge of just pure insanity. I was pacing the floor, my eyes shifting from the erection in my jeans to the camera monitor sitting on the counter. Everything about her was already so enticing, but then she went telling me that she wanted to take the risk…

Like the woman was either fuckinggreatat playing games or she, too, was intoxicated by whatever chemistry was between us.

I’ll lose my patch.

That kept echoing in my head as I watched her on the camera, lingering there, watching and waiting like I might come back. It sounded like pure stupidity, but it was like shewantedme to come back. Was she just lonely? Was she going to try and fuck her way out? I had so many questions, but I already knew the answer.

IstudiedRachel.

She never slept with men she wasn’t dating—and based on what we found, that wasn’t many. Her whole life was her work, and she wasn’t fucking her partner. I was sure of that. We watched who he fucked…

And that was a whole lot of women.

But what kind of woman would want to be with the man that kidnapped her? This wasn’t Stockholm syndrome. She hadn’t fucking been here long enough for that, right? Fuck, my head was a wreck.

I need her.

I shook my head.

I don’t need her.

My fist clenched at my sides, as I glanced back at the camera. Rachel started to strip down, pulling her loose white T-shirt over her head. I caught my breath, taking in the sight of the black lacey bra beneath it.
