Chapter 5

WHEN she opened her eyes, light streamed in through the port window. Natalie smiled groggily as she pushed herself up. Glancing at her wrists she realized Reece had released her sometime during the night. She rubbed the faint red lines on her skin, thinking them a small price to pay for the pleasure she’d experienced last night.

Natalie moved to slide from the bed when a clink of metal stopped her. Throwing back the covers she saw the cuff she’d used on Reece securely around her own ankle.

“No,” she breathed.

“Fair is fair,” Reece replied.

She looked up to see him lounging against the door jam.

“Good morning,” he greeted.

Natalie wrapped the sheet more firmly around herself. “Is the chain really necessary?” she demanded. “We’re at sea. There’s not much I can do way out here.”

“I don’t want to test that theory,” he said. “You could stir up a storm on a cloudless day.”

She crossed her arms, frowning. “You can’t just leave me here.”

“I can do whatever I want.”

“I won’t take being chained lightly.”

He grinned. “Darling, what can you possibly do about it?”

“Come here and find out.”

He shook his head.

Narrowing her eyes, she ripped the sheet away from her body, exposing herself to his gaze. “Just a little closer,” she purred.

His eyes dropped to her chest, transfixed. The lord even took a stumbling step closer before he shook his head.

“Vixen,” he charged. “You’ll need to do better than that.”

When she glared at him, he merely raised a cool brow. So she couldn’t use lust against him as he had used it against her. Not fair.

With a growl, she wrapped the sheet back around herself.

“I have matters to attend to,” he told her. “I’ll check on you later.”

“Leave me here and I will end you,” she vowed.

That earned her another grin. Grabbing a book from her desk he tossed it to her. “Rest up,” he advised. “You’ll need your strength later.”

“As if I’d let you touch me again.”

His gaze raked over her tousled form. “Didn’t you learn last night, Natalie? You’ll beg me to touch you again.”

He ducked out of the cabin right before the book he’d given her hit the closed door. She gnashed her teeth in fury. The man was impossible.

Flinging herself from the bed, she paced the small space the chain allowed her. She was about to turn back to the window when something caught her eye. Sitting on her desk was a gaudy chest she certainly had never bought. It was ornately craved with an iron lock that would keep all meddlers away. Something of Reece’s? She frowned. That would mean it came from his ship when they’d fought. One of his men must have taken it and kept it hidden. Natalie eyed the chest.

Stretching out her arms, she tried to reach the desk but it was too far out of reach.

“Dammit,” she sighed, dropping back onto the bed. What was so important Reece would have smuggled it here? The one thing he wanted to save from his sinking ship.

“I will find out all your secrets,” she vowed, eying the chest.
