Chapter 4

“You haven’t eaten, sirenita,” I eyed the untouched food on the tray beside the bed. Despite the admonition, I continued to run my hands up and down her back.

She sniffled against me, and I savored the last little sound of vulnerability before she pushed away from my chest to fix me with a glare. I firmed my arms around her lower back, pinning her against me.

Her pale gaze sparked. “I didn’t want to be drugged again.”

My stomach twisted at the very idea of Samantha subjected to the Bliss that my brother and his men used against the women in his brothel. She’d be mindlessly compliant and weakened by artificial lust. It would hollow her out, just like Lauren.

“I don’t need to drug you to keep you compliant. I wouldn’t do that,” I promised.

“You drugged me last night,” she shot back, reminding me of how I’d sedated her so I could tend to the cuts Cristian had sliced into her skin.

I fixed her with a frown. “You were hurting. I was sparing you more pain. Would you have preferred to suffer?”

She lifted her chin. “Yes,” she declared, defiant. “Then I could have at least kept the dignity of my clothing. You stripped me as soon as I was unconscious.”

If she thought she could make me feel guilty for revealing her body, she was mistaken. She was mine to admire, and I’d keep her fully bared to me at all times.

“Do you really think you’d still be wearing clothes if I didn’t want you to? You can’t hide from me, Samantha.”

To prove my point, I fisted the sheet at her lower back. I’d allowed her to remain covered for far too long. The challenging tilt of her chin proved that much.

She twisted against me in a vain attempt to hide from me. Her squirming only made the sheet fall away that much more easily. Within seconds, her naked body was pressed to my suit-clad form. I liked her like this: wearing nothing but my collar while I kept her slim body locked in my embrace.

“You shouldn’t have covered yourself,” I issued a stern reprimand.

Her brows drew together, her lips thinning. “So you would have paraded me naked in front of everyone? In front of your brother? How fucked up is your family?”

My jaw tightened. She didn’t have the faintest idea about my fucked-up family dynamics, but that was none of her concern. Her only concern should be pleasing me.

“I would have covered you before I invited Cristian in. I don’t let other men look at what’s mine.”

Her small hands shoved at my chest in a fruitless attempt to push me away. “I’m not your property,” she seethed.

That was exactly what I wanted her to be: my pretty captive, my possession.

I wound her silky hair around my fingers and tugged her head back, trapping her beneath my implacable stare. “You could be,” I informed her, softening the hungry edge that threatened to roughen my tone. I didn’t want to frighten her, but she needed to understand the extent of my control.
