Chapter 17

Benjamin had never felt so relieved to get out of a carriage in his life. The first six hours had been wonderful; the last two, not so much. A viper would have been better company. After finding that letter from Robbie, he’d been unable to sleep. That little weasel knew right where they were and he didn’t like that one bit. Not that he was afraid Madison would run off with him. He was more afraid Robbie would try to get her to and when she refused, he’d turn violent. He’d been around Robbie enough during his month in America to know if he needed to, he’d use force to get what he wanted. Benjamin had seen him use both physical force and emotional manipulation to get girls to bend to his will. Which is probably what he did with Madison.

He’d probably used one of his famous, “You say you love me, why not show me?” or “How can you deny the love between us? You can’t, I know it, so let’s go show it,” or some other ridiculous line he’d make up and use to play on a woman’s emotions and get her to lift her skirt. He had a way about him. First, he’d use his charm. Then if that hadn’t worked, he’d shoot those guilt arrows squarely at a person. And if neither of those methods got the desired result, he’d use physical force. The very thought sickened him. Madison was such a good person, how could he have taken advantage of her that way? And why had she let him? She’d stood up to him just fine. Why didn’t she stand up to that ass? Love. That was the reason. That’s the reason so many intelligent people do stupid things. Things like pay someone to send a whole family off the continent.

He knew now she didn’t love Robbie any longer. No, now she seemed to have transferred all that emotion directly onto Andrew. Lucky man. The hero worship in her eyes when she spoke of him or teased him was enough to make Benjamin want to rip his own hair out. He always had a way of finding Madison after she’d fallen in love. Now that he had her all to himself in the middle of nowhere, perhaps his luck would change and she’d fall in love with him.

But first she was going to be angry.

“Show me to my dungeon,” she said fiercely, clutching her blanket for dear life.

He shook his head. “You’re not going to a dungeon. You’ll stay in my room.”

“Your room, dungeon, same thing,” she said pertly. “Just show me where I’m to be locked away so that I may lie upon my bed and dream up all the ways you could torture me.”

“I’m not going to torture you,” he hissed.

“You already are,” she retorted. “If you take me back right now, I might forgive you.”

“No,” he ground out, steering her into the house. “I’m protecting you. Until I’m informed he’s sitting
