Stunned, my lips parted as I waited to find my voice.

“You want me to take off my clothes?”

“Yes. All of it.”

I narrowed my eyes. “You said you didn’t want sex. Unless you changed your mind during the short trip from the living room?”

“I did not change my mind. You will take the pictures naked.”

“I don’t want to do that.”

“You seem to have forgotten you no longer have a say in the matter.” There was a steely edge to his voice. “We made a deal. I have done my part now it’s time for you to do yours.” He advanced, his features stony. “Unless you don’t mind me going to the authorities and telling them of your involvement with the art forgery? I’m sure they’ll be interested in the recording Eva gave me.”

I went still as shock and rage coursed through me. I’d wound up in an ironic situation. To escape one blackmail, I’d found myself in another one.

Tears burned my eyes but I blinked them back. I didn’t want him seeing me cry. I refused to show him how powerless I felt.

“You bastard.”

He seemed unconcerned. He remained silent, expectant, waiting for me to do as he’d ordered.

Reluctant, my hands shaking, I peeled off my jacket. Then I took off my shoes. His gaze scorched my skin as I grabbed the edge of my tank top and hauled it off. I refused to look at him.

To think at one point I wanted him. Now all that arousal had converted to disgust and outrage. He’d taken advantage of me. He’d used my misfortune for his own selfish gain.

Why did I end up in these situations? Why did I attract trouble like this? Unfortunate situations had plagued me long before the cocaine incident.

As I removed my jeans, I realized that I’d been caught up in blaming everything and everyone else. I’d failed to stop and think. To accept that the blame lay with me. That I was the one who consistently made stupid choices.

And I had to bear the consequences of every single one until I knew better.

I wasn’t a virgin or inexperienced being naked in front of a man. Yet my cheeks burned as I reached for the front clip of my bra and unsnapped it. I peeled away the cups from my breasts, flinging the material down with the rest of my clothes pooled beside my feet.

I hesitated for a second when I reached for the edge of my panties. Then I yanked my underwear off me angrily and flung it with the other pieces of clothing.

I wrapped my hands around myself, Maddix’s gaze searing my skin. He moved closer until he stood in front of me.

“Look at me, Angela.”

I looked at him, letting all my frustration and anger shine through. But it wasn’t just aimed at him, it was at myself as well. I was the reason I was here.

“I do my best on my patients, but there’s still no better craftsman than nature,” he murmured. He had a reverent look on his face as he swept his gaze over my body.
