Chapter Ten

Autumn

A complicated man.

A gorgeous monster.

A powerful enemy.

I didn’t know him at all. There was little to help me see or understand what he enjoyed or hated, what he preferred in liquor or in food, or what saddened him. Nothing. He was an enigma, a solitary man who had no understanding of who he was. While some insane portion of me craved getting to learn every nuance, to peel away the multiple layers that seemed to match the ones protecting me, there simply wasn’t time.

Or maybe I’d taken his promise seriously. He would hurt me.

Sadness wrapped around a portion of my mind, my heart heavy. There was no reason for me to give a shit about him. None. He would never be able to let me inside, especially since I’d already betrayed him. Then again, what would I want with a man who had no ability to care for anyone?

While I hadn’t expected to stay the night, the quiet time spent after the session had been pleasant, more so than I wanted to admit to myself.

In his bed.

In his arms.

The fact he’d carried me into his bedroom, pulling back the covers and tucking me in had seemed odd in every way. The room was his private space, one I doubted another woman had visited. Why bring me to his sacred place unless he actually gave a damn? When he’d stood at the window of his bedroom, watching the storm, taking deep breaths every instance that the lightning flashed, I’d simply watched him. He’d been tense but a smile crossed his face with every rumble of thunder.

While I had no idea how long before I’d fallen asleep, I’d known his arms remained around me, keeping me close against his chest until the early hours of the morning. Then there had been quiet, a wall built between us. There’d been no discussion, no talk over an amazing breakfast. In fact, I’d finally been able to see just how austere his apartment truly was.

Bold furniture.

Granite countertops.

Stainless appliances.

And little else.

And the session was something I would never have anticipated; the way he brought me out of my shell and allowed me to understand as well as embrace the hint of darkness crowding into my soul. Even the spanking had been on another level, forcing me to realize that a part of me had hungered for a dominating man.

I still found that difficult to believe.

I’d always been the strong one, the girl who rescued puppy dogs and refused to back down to any asshole who stood in my way. Hell, I’d punched more than one asshole in the face for getting in mine.

Maybe I’d just been pretending all along.

The irony was almost impossible to ignore.

As I stood in front of my apartment building, my eyes drifted to my poor little car that had been brought there by one of his employees, a brand new battery included. I had no idea when he’d taken my keys or how he’d arranged for the purchase in the middle of the night, but it seemed everything about him held extreme power.
