CHAPTER TEN

ATHENA ZIPPED HER dress up with trembling hands. It was skintight and only went to the middle of her thigh. Much more scandalous than anything she had ever worn while living at the compound. It showed the curve of her waist, hips, left nothing to the imagination when it came to her back end. And as far as her breasts went... It molded to them perfectly, her golden curves pushed up and revealed to a near indecent degree.

But he would appreciate it. She had seen the way she looked at him when they had danced. He looked hungry.

And you wish to encourage him?

She did. She couldn’t explain her connection to Cameron. Except she was beginning to feel that she had not run into that cabin in the woods out of simple desperation. But that perhaps something had guided her there.

He was a man set apart. A man who had not had anyone come into his home for a decade. So why had she happened upon him? That seemed to be the real question.

Maybe she was silly. She could accept that.

But her whole life had been positioned outside the ordinary. Why should she expect to be any less now?

She didn’t know how to fix her hair in terribly complicated ways, so she had left it hanging straight and glossy down her back.

She had put on a bit of makeup, which had been part of the trousseau she had demanded.

And beneath the dress... Beneath the dress was underwear as crimson as the dress itself, wispy and see-through.

The idea of him seeing her and not made her pulse race.

She came out of the bedroom, and there he was. Standing in the center of the room, the beautifully lit city of Paris behind him. He looked severe in a dark black suit, his long hair tied back, his beard trimmed a bit more neatly now.

He was... A glorious contrast. Beastly in part, utterly sophisticated on the other hand.

It was those seemingly incompatible things that made her pulse race. That made her feel giddy with excitement.

His face...

She could not find it hideous.

It was compelling. As was he.

It was painful to look at, in the sense that it spoke of the pain that he’d been through.

And yet.

She could not look away from him. Because there was nowhere else she wished to look more. Not even in Paris.

“Shall we go?” he asked.

“Yes. Are you all right?”

He laughed. “You are no more experienced than I and going out into the world, and you ask if I’m okay?”

“I’m less experienced than you. And I think perhaps that makes it easier. I have no preconceived idea about how anyone might treat me. I have no expectations. You lived a whole other life.” She stopped herself. “You lived two other lives.”

“Come,” he said, his voice gruff.

They went down to the street, where the limousine was waiting for them. She wondered... She wondered if he had driven at all since the accident. She chose to wait to ask the question until they got into the car.
