I should have known Fallon would fight me, that she’d make it impossible to try to help her. She had locked herself in the guest room by the time I got up in the morning. I hadn’t seen her since—and it had been two days.

She wasn’t always in there. I had no doubt that when I left the apartment, she came out of her room. She might have tidied up after herself and washed dishes to make sure she left no trace, but I knew.

It had been amusing at first, like I was living with an oversized mouse who kept eating its way through the strawberries and grapefruits in my fridge. Now though, I’d just about had enough. I was done waiting around.

I sat on my sofa in the living room, waiting for the inevitable confrontation. I made sure I had nowhere I needed to be today, and the mouse couldn’t hide out in her room indefinitely. It pissed me off, though, that for the first time, I understood the thrill she’d gotten from fighting with me. Outside, I was as cool as stone, but inside, I was cracking my knuckles and rolling my shoulders, preparing for battle.

An hour passed before I heard the telltale click of the door and then the quiet footsteps shuffling along the floor. I remained perfectly still as she left the hallway, headed for the kitchen.

She’d made it halfway there before she noticed me. Her breath caught in her throat, but she kept going, either too hungry or too stubborn to abandon her scavenging for food.

She was wearing the same black dress—she’d washed it at some point. The washer and dryer had been used, but my housekeeper hadn’t been in yet this week. If she wasn’t so stubborn, I would have told her about the duffel bag of clothes I’d grabbed for her from her apartment. But knowing she was still walking around panty-less didn’t bother me in the slightest.

I waited while she rummaged through the fridge then returned with a bowlful of fruit.

“Stop,” I said when she started back toward the hallway, and despite my irritation, I loved how her feet froze like her body couldn’t help but obey me.

“What do you want, Dominic?” she asked while her eyes darted back and forth from me to the hallway.

“I want this bullshit to stop now,” I said, standing up and taking two steps toward her.

She laughed, but it came out a touch on the maniacal side. She was all fire and fight today.

“Whenever you’re done with me and you’re ready to stop keeping me here against my will, just let me know.”

I clicked my tongue. She made it sound like I’d kidnapped her and was keeping her here for my own depraved desires.

“Do you think I want this?” I barked which made her jolt.

“You’re the one keeping me locked in here, aren’t you?” she spat, loud enough that she couldn’t hide the slight tremor in her voice.

“I’m keeping you here to keep your ass safe. And I’m marrying you because I don’t have a fucking choice.
