Chapter 6

Riley

I believe I have walked into a trap of my own doing.

Fuck.

Now I’m at his mercy.

I crane my neck up at the ropes as he ties them around my wrists and secures them to the bedposts. I am completely naked right now. Washed clean from my night behind bars in the full-length Jacuzzi tub that Malcolm made me bathe in a while ago. He moves to the foot of the bed. It’s unsettling the way he stands there, just raking his eyes down my body. I wish I could free one arm and slap that smug grin from the arrogant bastard’s face.

It can’t be later than eleven in the morning. I look around the large bedroom. If the blinds were open, the sun streaming in through the bay windows on these neutral tans and browns could make this space quite bright. The mental distraction is not working. What I need to do is face the facts. I’m supposed to be one of the brightest up and coming legal minds Columbia University has had grace its hallways in years. Yet here I am, with my legs spread wide, about to get my ankles tied to each side of the bed. Because I let some cocky billionaire outsmart me.

No, he didn’t outsmart me. I fooled myself.

I’m the one who set this chain of events in motion. My flawed line of thinking compelled me to get down on my knees and up against a wall two nights ago. Every brain cell in my skull is working overtime. Their combined effort is trying to piece together how I can concoct such a scheme and believe it is absolutely brilliant one day, but realize it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever done only two days later. I’m reminded of my twenty-first birthday where some friends and I traveled to Las Vegas. I’ve suddenly unseated that incident. That time, I got shitfaced drunk and woke up married to a male stripper because I thought he said that he worked for Greenpeace when really, he did a stint on the Strip as a half-naked Green Lantern street performer. I had to phone home for annulment money, which was pretty damned embarrassing. Sleeping with Malcolm Alexander and revealing my name the night before I engage in what most people would label as civil eco-environmental disobedience is far worse. It’s humiliating to know that ultimately, I am responsible for everything that’s about to happen to me.

The sensation of being tied down makes me uneasy. I want to sit up and bolt, but Malcolm takes one sharp look at me, and it’s as though he reads my mind. A second later, his strong hands are on my shoulders, pressing me into the bed.

“Take a few deep breaths and relax,” he whispers a few inches away from my face. “I don’t want you to hurt yourself on these ropes.”

“Like you give a shit,” I grumble, but my throat releases a breathy moan after the words.

My body betrays the lust that is expanding from my core.
