CHAPTER EIGHT

“I BOUGHT THESE months ago,” Max replied in a musing tone. “I should have known then.”

“Known what?” Romi asked.

“That you were not going to get out of my head.”

“Okay.” Assimilating the fact that the silk was the exact shade of her eyes when she was happy, Romi chewed on her bottom lip. “Um, what are they for?”

“Your pleasure.”

“You want to tie me up.” She shouldn’t have been startled.

He had given her tremendous pleasure before by accepting control and using it to her benefit. She wasn’t shocked. Not really.

She also wasn’t sure how she felt about the scarves.

He must have read the ambivalence in her face because he said persuasively, “Just your hands.”

“Not this time.” She wasn’t sure why, but she knew those scarves represented something between them that wasn’t there yet.

He reeled back, as if her words had shocked him, maybe even hurt him. “You enjoyed me being in control very much a year ago.”

“Yes.” There was no denying it.

Romi wouldn’t even try to deny that she got a special sexual thrill out of the attention he gave her, the way she became his entire focus when that happened. But she wasn’t ready for the scarves, either.

She really wasn’t sure why. One time, when they’d been dating, he’d used his tie to bind her hands behind her back while he touched her. She’d loved it.

He’d brought her to a mind-shattering climax, quickly followed by another.

And still, she wasn’t going for the scarves right now.

He sat beside her, running the silk over her body, bringing forth shivers of sensation she made no attempt to stifle. “A year ago, you would not have hesitated.”

“I know.”

“So?” he prompted, clearly expecting her to change her mind.

It was that confidence that coalesced at least a partial understanding of her hesitancy for that type of game right now.

“Maybe I trusted you more before you offered my father’s sobriety only to turn around and threaten it, or before you threatened to take advantage of my best friend’s desire to protect me from her dad.” Romi wasn’t accusing, or trying to pick a fight, just stating the facts.

And maybe the fact he was trying to blackmail her into his version of marriage bothered her more than she’d realized. She didn’t accept that he was a monster, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t hurt her with his single-minded view of the world and insistence of having his own way.

In fact, she was pretty sure he could.

The silk pooled on her stomach in a pile of fabric so light she barely felt it.

Frowning, he ran his hands down her body in a move that seemed wholly unconscious, hurt he probably didn’t even realize was there shadowing his gray gaze. “The one has nothing to do with the other.”

That hurt gave her hope, but didn’t sway her certainty that she had hold firm on this. “You are too intelligent and understanding of human nature to believe that.”

“Dorogaya, your pleasure is my top priority.”

“You’ve never used that word before,” she said because she’d rather focus on that than his claim.
