Chapter Eight

Ianthe rearranged the pillows on the bed for the dozenth time. She couldn’t quite get them to feel right, or perhaps it was her jangled nerves that kept her from concentrating on anything.

She had expected Legion to fall on her like a ravening monster, the moment that he stepped through the door. On some level, she recognized that she had deliberately provoked him by trashing her room, hoping for the exact result. More proof that he was the monster that she thought him to be.

That he had remained calm confused her, which just made her dislike him more. She understood that everything the man did was some form of manipulation, he had made that abundantly clear. Every word that she spoke was just more ammunition that he gathered to use against her.

He had left the door unlocked behind him after his exhortation to clean the room and dress for dinner. Clearly, he was leaving it up to her to seek him out after she had done what he asked. But she was running out of things to do. There was no more reason to delay.

The room seemed too quiet, the silence closing in on her like a physical weight.

Perhaps that was another part of his manipulation, isolate her so completely that she became desperate for any sort of companionship, even his.

She almost preferred it when he just mated her, without all the talking. His poisoned words spun through her head, confusing her in ways that she wasn’t prepared for.

When she had thrown open the doors of the large closet, a room she had previously ignored, clothing for every occasion and season exploded off of the racks. These were nothing like the plain work uniforms that she was used to and she had to resist the urge to run her hands over the fabric and gauzy lace.

This bounty was a trick.

One dress was turned out on the rack so it sat above the others. Ianthe grabbed it off of the rack and held it up to her body. Without even bothering to try it on, she knew that it would be a perfect fit.

It was possible that Legion had brought other women here before and that his preferences meant they were all of similar size. But something told her that all of this had been placed there just for her. And it wasn’t a stretch to assume that Legion would have no difficulty finding out her measurements.

I understand everything about you.

The dress had dropped from her numb fingers to the floor and it had taken several minutes before she could bear to pick it up again. It was only fear of what he would do if she wasn’t properly dressed when she went to dinner that made her pull the dress over her head.

In any other situation, she would have felt more than lovely. The dress hugged her curves and felt far finer on her skin than any other textile she had ever encountered.

It was tempting to tear every bit of clothing in that closet to shreds but she couldn’t bear to let such finery be destroyed.
