London hadn’t been kidding. By the time Pierce had her inside her apartment, she thought she might collapse. Her knees had threatened to buckle several times. Luckily, he never released her, even in the elevator.

She was well aware that he had gotten nothing out of their scene, and she wanted to rectify that, while at the same time completely unsure if she had the energy to do so. She also wanted him in her bed, his warmth wrapped around her, but asking him to stay would send mixed signals.

Shockingly, as soon as they were inside her apartment, Pierce nodded toward her bedroom and said, “Let me help you get in bed before I leave. You’re still unstable.”

She frowned, her gaze at the floor. “I can manage.” Why did it hurt that he had no intention of staying? There was no way she could suggest such a thing. It would be hypocritical of her to have her cake and so blatantly eat it too.

But if he had proposed the idea of staying, then the weight of the implication wouldn’t have rested well with her. He did not, though, so she needed to let him go. There was no other choice.

She didn’t even have the wherewithal to argue, so she let him lead her to her bed, strip her down to her thong, and tuck her in. He kissed her forehead, smiled warmly, and left her there before she could even begin to form a sentence in rebuttal. What would she have said anyway?

Stay? I want you to have sex with me? I want you to sleep in my bed? And then I want you to not call because it scares the hell out of me for you to get too possessive?

She closed her eyes, burrowed farther under the covers, and rolled onto her side. Sleep didn’t come quickly, though. It hovered out of reach, her mind racing to make sense out of her life.

Her independence was important to her. Paramount. Even though every single person in her life, including her counselor, was skeptical of the way she dug her heels in so deep, she couldn’t picture a different world.

Louis had damaged her. Irrevocably. He’d removed her from society, forced her into a life of solitude that resembled an indentured servant, and abused her mentally and physically. She’d survived. She would not let him ruin her life. He stole five years, and she was reclaiming them.

Who cared if she couldn’t commit to a job for longer than a few months or that she wanted to try every daredevil activity known to man or that she enjoyed the power of submitting to a Dom? Those were her choices. The thought of letting someone get close was suffocating.

It was her life. No one else’s. She intended to live it her way on her terms. If she got bored of anything, she would shake it off and do something else. Hell, she would eventually get bored of Pierce.

Right? She rolled onto her back and stared blankly at the ceiling.
