Chapter 10

She had no time to protest the use of that name, no time to protest the blindfold. No time to figure out how he knew what she’d been thinking or even hold out against that fiercely stated intention.

One minute he had his hands on her hips; the next, her world was tipping sideways as he swept her up into his arms, gathering her close to his chest. Then he was walking, and she thought he was carrying her back through into the living area, though she wasn’t quite sure until he bent and she was deposited onto something cool. Leather, which meant the couch in the living room.

Her heartbeat was a loud drum in her head, her whole body starting to shake.

She didn’t want to feel. That had been the point of the last eight years. That was the reason she’d made herself into who she was now. So she didn’t have to feel the hurt or the guilt or the grief. Or the shame and humiliation.

So she could be hard. Cold. Sharp.

Like the roses etched into her skin, she’d been forged in pain. And, like them, nothing would erase her; nothing would wash her away. Fragile-seeming blossoms that were nevertheless permanent.

Clearly she hadn’t moved fast enough because suddenly his big, warm hands were taking her wrists and lifting them, putting her arms up and back on the soft, cool leather of the couch. “Keep them there.” Another flat, hard order.

Rachel took a deep, silent breath. She could do this. Sure, last time, up against the wall, she’d lost her head, but she wouldn’t now.

Levi trailed his hand down the length of her body, from her throat down between her breasts, over the trembling plane of her stomach, and farther still, through the curls at the apex of her thighs and down to cup her sex. The wake of fire that followed the touch of his fingers made her skin tighten and the breath catch in her throat.

“You’re going to have to beg for your orgasm, Sunny,” he said softly, using that name again, the one that hurt so much. “You’re going to have to want it. And not because I told you to, but because you’ll die if you don’t come. Understand?” That name
