CHAPTER ELEVEN: Remy

The guilt had returned ten-fold. But I was experiencing another, even more unfamiliar sensation…the urge to ease someone else’s pain.

The first step was to find Tommy Salazar. Before I fell asleep that morning, I set my best men to hunting Salazar down. Their orders were to bring him to me the moment they found him.

“Alive?” the man in charge asked.

I hesitated, then reluctantly said, “Oui. But do whatever is necessary to get his cooperation.”

“Of course, sir.”

I ended the call. Tommy Salazar would come willingly—or they would break his bones, one by one, until he agreed. It didn’t matter to me, because by the time I was through with him, the bastard would wish he’d never been born. I would keep my promise to Star, but Salazar was going to pay for every mark he’d ever made on his daughter.

In the meantime, I took a long look at myself and wondered if I was much better. After all, I’d trapped Star into being my courtesan. Yes, I treated her like a princess, but I knew damn well she’d never have signed the contract if she hadn’t thought she had no choice.

A better man would let her go.

But I’d never pretended to be a good man.

The hell of it was, it wasn’t just lust. I liked the woman—her sass, her wry wit, the way she wasn’t afraid of me like most humans. I’d never smiled so much as I had these past few days.

I toyed with the idea of helping her career—from what I’d seen, she was a talented artist, and I’d mentored other artists in the past. Perhaps when our thirty days were up, I’d set her up with her own studio.

But why let her go at all?

For once, I wasn’t growing bored with a courtesan almost as soon as I had her. Perhaps I should extend the thirty days to sixty—or even more?

But I didn’t ask—not yet. Because I wasn’t sure she would agree. Most of my courtesans had begged to stay, both for the money and the sex. With Star, though, I couldn’t be sure. You didn’t cage a woman like her, even if the cage was made of gold and lined with the softest velvet.

Meanwhile, Star was mine, and I vowed to do everything in my power to keep her happy. We took a long walk each evening, and I forced myself to feed less—no more than twice per day. I ordered regular meals for her and made sure she ate them. When I discovered she’d never had a massage, I arranged for a couples massage in our apartment—although that ended with me ordering the therapist out of the room and bending Star over the table to take her.

A week passed. The two of us fell into a rhythm of staying up most of the night and sleeping most of the day, although she usually fell asleep before me and then woke a few hours before I did. I used my free time at night to
