CHAPTER EIGHT

NUSH LOOKED AROUND the luxury rear cabin of the private jet she’d been deposited into by a wet, thoroughly rumpled Caio.

She had no memory of the car ride except for snuggling up against the damp warmth of his body and the misery of being stuck in a bodysuit that clung to her skin like a wet rash and the constant pulse of pain radiating from her wrist.

She looked around the spacious cabin with its gleaming wood paneling and ultra-modern shower in the corner. The dark navy-colored duvet was soft against her fingers. She grimaced at the wet patch her rain-soaked clothes had immediately left on the bed and hopped away to sit on the single chair.

With her left arm tucked against her chest and the shoes wet and tight, trying to pull them off was a losing prospect. Except for a few unintended crunches for her ab muscles, she got no further. With a frustrated cry, she gave up. Instantly, thoughts rushed in like a tsunami.

A real marriage...to Caio.

A shiver ran down her spine and it had nothing to do with the dampness of her clothes. A lifelong commitment, a partnership and he would be hers...forever, in a way no one had ever been. She didn’t miss how high-handed he was being, bringing her aboard his jet, assuming she’d happily go wherever he brought her. His sudden decision that it would be a permanent partnership.

The sheer arrogance of the man took her breath away. It was also the same decisiveness that made her feel all warm and gooey inside. Because Caio moved through life with a conviction, a commitment that never wavered once he gave it. And that he was promising it to her was a breath-stealing temptation, a fantasy coming true. Beneath all her affront and outrage at his executive decision, the woman in her, the romantic fool in her wanted to grasp it with everything she had.

But the little girl in her—the one who’d survived a chaotic childhood, the one who faced abandonment at every turn—was terrified that she’d lose him if they did this, that he’d abandon her too if she let herself have this.

You’re mine, he’d declared with such raw, possessive intent that reminded her that there were facets of Caio she didn’t know. That he carefully controlled what he did share.

How would a relationship ever work if he didn’t even let her know him? If everything was based on logic and compatibility, or on the minimal facts that she was loyal and attracted to him? If he always controlled the reins of it?

Nushie, it doesn’t have to be any different from the affair you proposed, that same voice whispered again and Nush grabbed it with both hands. A quiet determination stole through her.

If he truly wanted this to be a real thing, then he’d have to give her all of him. He’d have to prove it to her. Until then, she’d treat this as a temporary madness they were giving in to. That way, at least she wasn’t leaving herself even more vulnerable to him.
