Beautiful and shaken. Those were the best words to describe Kayla as I led her down the hallway toward my room. She hadn’t uttered a word, and I didn’t press her. Although I couldn’t truly imagine how she was feeling, I could take a guess.

I pulled open one of the heavy wooden doors separating my living space from the others, all while keeping an arm wrapped around her. She looked so fragile. I was afraid she’d fall and break if I let go.

Without a word I led her through the doorway and locked the door behind us—trying the lock an extra time for good measure. I wanted to ensure we had complete privacy.

I’d never seriously considered taking a girl as my own. The right was there, but it was a risky one. Taking a girl that could belong to the many for myself could be seen as selfish—and it could lead to my downfall—but I had no choice. I’d known from the moment I laid eyes on her I had to have her, and I would never be able to stomach anyone else laying a hand on her.

I walked her through the sitting area and through a second set of double doors that housed my bedroom and bathroom. It was a space no one else entered other than to clean. I never brought the girls to my room. I saw them elsewhere—in a place where I could leave easily when I was finished with them. But I wasn’t going to want to leave Kayla. I would never be finished with her because I knew behind those haunted eyes there was something worth knowing. Something worth keeping.

“I laid out something for you to sleep in on the bed.” I pointed to the silk nightie I’d selected for her. It was black—and I was eager to see how it looked against her pale skin. And how her blonde curls would look falling down the back.

I went hard thinking about it. About her wearing it only for me. I swallowed hard. “I will leave you to that.”

She nodded, and I asked for nothing else. I walked back out through the double doors to give her privacy and to give myself a few moments to figure out my plan.

I waited as long as I could, until I couldn’t stay away any longer. I walked back through the doorway.

And then I saw the most beautiful sight in the world. She was standing there in the black silk, with her hair free and hanging down her back. She ran her teeth over her bottom lip in a way I knew was nerves rather than a flirtatious move. She had one hand wrapped over her body, but every other part of her was on display—including her long legs and cleavage that made me ache to see more.

I said nothing for a moment, unable to speak as I took her in.

Then I noticed the shivering.

“You’re cold?” I was hot. So hot I could barely stand it.

“No.” She shook her head.
