CHAPTER 17

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

—Martin Luther King Jr.

Emily

What I should feel for Talon was all hate and disgust. Or so I’d thought. I wasn’t foolish enough to think I could ever look past his darkness or the acts he’d performed from murder to abduction, but the man was confounding in every way. Usually, when I looked into his eyes, there was nothing there but a cold need to murder.

But when he looked into my eyes, it was as if a light switch had gone off. As if he was willing to give all of himself to make our damning situation work.

Of course I was as insane as he was if I truly believed he could be trusted or even consider he had any decency left in him. That simply wasn’t possible. He’d committed too many murders, had likely kidnapped dozens of women for his brutal playtime. I was acting as if I knew anything about him other than the dangerous moniker he used and the fact he appreciated hearing me play.

But it was easy to see he was a very bad man.

He’d left me with instructions to finish getting ready and to meet him in the music room. I’d taken my time. Whether or not he would object I didn’t care. After the savage sex we’d shared, I’d taken another quick shower to wash off his stench, but not before enjoying the way he feasted on me with his eyes. In return, I did the same.

His body was insanely gorgeous, but it was his cock that made my mouth water. I’d been shocked and angry with myself when my heart had fluttered from seeing the man in all his nakedness. I’d quickly gotten over that, forcing myself to follow the plan I’d put into motion.

Now at least he believed I was attracted to him, hungering for his sex.

While I hated to admit it, there was more than a little truth to it. He was impossible not to find attractive and rugged, even in his dangerous packaging. My skin continued to tingle, his scent covering every inch of my body even after I’d used a scrubby all over, rubbing until a huge portion felt as if it had been abrased.

I had to admit the clothes I’d found waiting for me in the closet and dresser had been incredible. And exactly like some of my attire waiting for me back home or items I’d admired in a fashion magazine.

The few pieces I’d tried on had fit perfectly. That meant he’d been inside my house more than once, touching my things, learning about me. That fueled another fire, one that was all about making certain he knew what he’d done was unacceptable. I didn’t care how much he’d spent on me or that he’d provided me with a lavish piano and a beautiful room overlooking the ocean.

I refused to indulge in my passion for the brutal man, hating him even more than I did before because he’d managed to find a slight crack in my armor.
