Rafael spent the next day away from me, leaving me to ponder my choice and stress over the outcome relentlessly as Regina tried to get me to focus on anything but the void inside my head.

Freedom had been within my grasp. My family had nearly gotten the peace they deserved and me home with them where I belonged.

I stepped out onto the private terrace, my bare feet soaking in the warmth from the tiles even though the sun had set long ago. Rafael’s business had required him to work through dinner, and I hadn’t quite been able to convince myself that I would be welcome in his office. He might have thought my place in his life was clearly defined by the unrealistic expectations he had of what we would be, but I was less than convinced.

I couldn’t kill him, but that didn’t mean I should have stayed. That didn’t mean that I could let myself enjoy my life with him.

The sky faded into deep purples as the sun disappeared behind me, leaving me to consider the impossible choices I’d need to make. What the fuck would I tell my family?

Would he let me tell them at all?

The fact that he hadn’t been able to follow through with branding me meant there was something there, and I might not speak much Spanish, but I knew what amor meant. In some way, Rafael had admitted he loved me.

I hadn’t given him the words back, and I didn’t know that I would ever be able to.

His arms wrapped around my waist as he stepped up behind me suddenly, moving through the bedroom with the kind of stealth that would never cease to amaze me. Like he was one with the darkness and it was his to claim.

His mouth touched the mark on my shoulder where he’d drawn blood, the wound pulsing to new life under the gentle pressure. His tongue ran over the healing flesh, somehow erotic when it should have been nothing short of gross.

When he pulled away, he unbuttoned his dress shirt and held my eyes as he revealed the inches of his flawless skin. The moment my eyes landed on the red marks where he’d carved my name into his chest, I couldn’t help the surge of possessiveness that came over me. The satisfaction in knowing that it was my name on his skin.

He was a beautiful enigma, a devil that no one could control. And yet he’d willingly carved my name into his flesh for all to see, unconcerned with the fact that other women might see it.

Because he was mine. Just as I was his.

His hands went to his pants, unfastening them with an arrogant smirk as I watched. “Take off your dress,” he ordered.

I swallowed back my nerves, instinctively knowing that Rafael planned to take me into the pool. Even if I knew how to swim, I would never be free of the panic I felt at just the thought.

At the reminder of what the water could do.
