After we both go up to bed—to our separate rooms—I stare at the ceiling, frustrated, mind reeling. I can feel myself getting more and more attached, and that scares the hell out of me. Time is closing in on us, and I don’t know where we will stand after this week. I’m quite sure, given tonight’s events, that this attraction is mutual, but what does that mean for the long term?

Although, what I feel for Archer isn’t love yet, I can feel myself falling hard and fast. That in and of itself is terrifying, but what scares me the most is that I’m not sure if Archer is capable of loving himself, let alone anyone else.

I will myself to sleep, but my mind won’t shut off, no matter how hard I try. I give up. I know I won’t rest until I talk it out. So, before I can talk myself out of it, I get out of bed and walk to Archer’s room.

I knock once before pushing the door open. “Archer—I need to talk to you…” My voice trails off as I come to a dead stop in the doorway.

A very wet, very naked Archer emerges from the bathroom. He walks out of the steam-filled room, drying his dark blond hair with a towel, and all thoughts seem to have left my brain as I stand there, mouth gaping.

“I—uh…”

A smirk appears on his devilishly handsome face. Yeah…he knows the effect he’s having on me. He makes no attempts to cover up; he just continues to stand there proudly while I take him all in—and I do mean all.

I know I should turn away, but I don’t. Instead, I watch as a drop of water falls from his hair, my eyes following its path over his tattooed abs down to his very large cock.

I knew he was big, having felt him through his sweats when I practically dry-humped him in the kitchen, but actually seeing it is a whole different story. I lick my lips, suddenly feeling parched.

“See something you like, Little Rose?” he asks. Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.

“I asked you a question. Do. You. See. Something. You like?” he repeats, voice laced with a dominance that has my core clenching.

Unable to speak, I nod jerkily, watching as his eyes darken, taking on a predatory gleam. Tossing the towel to the floor, he stalks towards me, and instinctively, I step back until my hip bumps against the doorframe. His lips curve up into a sinister smile.

“Careful,” he says, continuing his path to me. “Remember what I said. I enjoy the hunt. If you run, I will chase you.” His words from that first night pop into my head, and I know he means it. If I were to try and run now, he would hunt me down, and for some unknown reason, that thought turns me on. A lot.

I squeeze my legs together, trying to relieve the ache that has started there.

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” he says, running his nose up the side of my neck, teeth nipping at my jaw.
