Chapter 10

Adir

I can only stay away for so long. The elevator opens and I stumble slightly as I walk out into my home. Perhaps I tried to drown my sorrows a little too deeply tonight, but thoughts of Isa plagued me even as I tried to forget. An evening out with Herne and Zane usually does the trick, helps me keep my mind off things I'd rather not think too hard on. Unfortunately, I forgot how well they know me. It only took one look for them to ask me what was wrong, like they could sense it was something serious, something different. And I, in my weakened state, made the mistake of divulging the situation with Isabelle.

My mind wanders back to our conversation.

"Perhaps you should add a few more...duties...to her list," Zane suggests with a smirk. "After all, you want to make sure the amount of debt forgiven is worth it."

I shake my head. As much as I want Isa, I don’t want her to be with me because I force her. She loves her father, using that against her in such a manner... No.

Then Herne chimes in. "Women like you," he says, a twinkle in his eye. "I have no idea why, with that ugly face. But they do. You don't need to add anything to her list." He leans forward with a charming grin. "Just make sure to spend more time with her while she's around the house. Let her see that you want her. She'll be warming your bed in no time. And you'll stop moping around like a schoolboy."

I would take offense to that last comment but it’s true. Unfortunately, the advice is not at all helpful. Isa would have to be a dimwitted fool not to notice how much I want her. And a fool she is not. I get irritated with their suggestions and they only tease me harder about Isa. Like they know it will get under my skin.

"I don't see the problem here," Zane says, shrugging. "Seduce her, claim her, make her your own. Problem solved." He raises his glass with a wink. "On to the next."

If only it was that simple. The temptation of having her under my roof, sleeping just a few doors down from me, it drives me mad enough to abandon my own home in search of some kind of peace. Perhaps it was a mistake to bring her here when I know how much I want her. How much I crave her. It's like nothing I've ever felt before. If it was just lust, just desire for her body, I could control it. I have in the past without much of a problem. I've had beautiful women and I've never felt this pull, this urge to have more than her body. To have the female herself. I've never felt this mixture of respect, admiration, and lust all for one person. It's all encompassing. It's too much and I fear it's growing into even more the longer she’s around.
