Persephone

When I don’t reply, Rage lowers himself until our eyes are level and uses the calmest voice I’ve ever heard on a man. “You can fight me or smell like wet dirt and honey all night. When you get itchy and attract a hungry bear, I will open the door for it and see how fast you come running to me.”

I stab a finger in his direction. “You try to feed me to the bears and—”

He takes my shoulders and turns me around, pushing me up the flight of stairs and through a door.

“And nothing, Persephone Castel.”

He throws it open and behind the highly polished oak is a lustrous bathroom in all white, golds and creams. Just like the bedroom. Several towels, a glistening shower stall, and a deep jacuzzi all beckon me closer. This time around, I take a moment to enjoy the polished marble, too. My discarded towel and the borrowed shirt I had on are where I left them the last time I was in here.

“Sorry,” I offer sheepishly when he bends and picks them up.

A massive mirror is on the wall behind. It’s hard not to miss the dark shadows rimming the underside of my eyes. My hair is a matted mess of dirt and knots. I also see a blush on my cheeks. I tell myself it’s from excursion and not how the heat rolling off Rage is comforting.

Rage steps up behind me; his presence is all-consuming and powerful. A man who thinks the world revolves around him. Such arrogance.

Rage. Frustration and an unwanted amount of defeat shadow the fight I have in my heart.

How can such a beautifully rugged man be cruel yet tender? Better yet, is it an answer I really want to find out?

My heart stutters and trembles in my chest. I’m on the verge of tears as I hold his gaze. “Rage, I’m scared. What’s happening to me? Why do I hate you one minute and then want you to miss me until my heart doesn’t feel like it’s going to break into jagged shards on the floor?” Making myself vulnerable has my heart on full display. Just because I am not telling him everything doesn’t make what I just said any less true.

Knowing I have little to no control over anything right now, the fight in me fades to a whisper and leaves my muscles feeling weak. No matter how much strength I have deep down, I feel exposed and breakable.

Rage takes my shoulders in hand and turns me to face him. Cupping my face, the monster who kidnapped me, tied me to his bed, and demanded I give up my family says the damnedest thing to me.

He gives a low, sexy laugh. “Your soul craves connection, my beautifully wounded goddess. Give yourself time. The wall of glass around your heart will turn to cement soon enough. Don’t rush it.”

“Sounds like you speak from experience.”

“Take it as a warning from someone who has lived a little longer than you.”

Someone has hurt him.
