“Of course.” She glanced at him with a frown. “Why?”

“I’m … not used to women caring so much about other people.” He shrugged. Not even his own mother had cared about him. In his world, people used and abused those who were weaker.

Only the strong survived. Love was weakness. Children were a commodity.

“What?” Rain asked.

“You heard me. You … interest me. Your love of your child and that of a dead man.”

She closed her eyes, her face scrunching up as if in pain. “Don’t say stuff like that.”

“He is still dead.”

“How can you be so cruel?” she asked.

“Then answer me this, was I right?” he asked.

“About what?” She bit out each word.

“Are you a virgin? Did your Daniel fuck you, make you feel like a woman? Did he take care of your needs? Or did he just give you his sperm to have a kid with you?”

“You have no idea what you’re talking about.”

He wrapped his arm around her waist, sliding his hand to her ass and tugging her close. “Maybe not, but I’m going to find out the answer tonight. You will ride my cock deep inside your cunt and beg for more. Otherwise, I will kill you both.”

It was an idle threat. He knew it.

Rain didn’t. She would do as she was told.

He let Rain go and rushed toward Evelyn, picking her up, and placing her on his shoulders, spreading her arms like an airplane, then running around the yard.

His men knew to look the other way.

Every now and again, he turned to look at Rain. In between her hatred, he saw something else, a yearning. There was far more going on inside her head, and he wanted to know it all.

****

Later that night, Rain stared at her reflection in the mirror. She’d gotten back to her room, and that was a laugh all of itself. She didn’t walk to her room. A guard escorted her back to her room, where the bolts were pushed firmly in place, trapping her inside with no chance of escape.

A negligee had been waiting for her on the bed. It was indecent.

All silk and lace, that left little to nothing of the imagination. The breasts were pure lace, with petal designs shaping around each breast like an offering.

The silk hugged her body. There was no robe to hide her body. She wrapped her arms around herself.

Wolf had already told her tonight she would be collected and taken to his room.

The guards were going to see her like this.

Was this part of his plan?

To make her completely mortified with what he was doing? If so, it was working.

She’d never worn anything quite so obscene.

When she’d gone to Daniel, at first, he’d loved to see her naked. Then, little by little, he’d stopped wanting her. Her nakedness had disgusted him.

She took a deep breath as the door was knocked.

The bolts were slid open, then the door opened, but a single hand appeared, holding a robe. “Wear this.”

She wanted to push the door onto his hand, but she didn’t have Evelyn, nor any weapons, no clear way to escape. She grabbed the robe instead, sliding her hands into the body and covering herself.

The door opened and the guard stood there.

When Evelyn was around, they hid the guns. She’d noticed that tiny detail earlier. With it being just her, they showed them proudly.

She hated the sight of guns.

Hands clenched at her sides, she waited for instruction. The guard nodded for her to leave.

Rain left the safety of her bedroom and saw another guard waiting.

“Follow him.”

She walked behind the guard, aware of the other one behind her.

They knew what she had to do. She hated this. It made her feel sick to her stomach.

Sex felt so … degrading.

They moved toward another wing of the house, and then the guard in front knocked at the door.

Wolf appeared seconds later. “Leave us.”

Without a word, the guards left.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. Nothing helped.

He opened the door wider for her, and Rain, without invite, took a step toward him. The scent of his cologne teased her senses. The door closing behind her seemed ominous.

Wolf’s body pressed against her back.

He tugged at the tie of her robe and slid it from her body. She came to life under his arms.

Even as her mind screamed to fight to rebel, her body didn’t want to. She craved his touch, hungered for it.

Was it so bad to fall for this man?

To be at his mercy?

“Do you have any idea how long I’ve waited for this?” he asked. His lips grazed the column of her neck, and she closed her eyes, trying to fight the need building inside her. One touch from this man, and it was like she melted for him. This had never happened to her before. She had no way of controlling it.
