CHAPTER SIX

After kissing Hannah good-bye, Kellan climbed the stairs to check on Mercy. Relieved to find her asleep and resting her brain, he knew he should have turned and left the room, but his feet…hell, his whole body refused to cooperate. Instead, he eased into the chair beside the bed and drank in her peaceful, delicate features. A smile tugged his lips as he remembered how adorable she’d looked in his study…jealous as hell and twice as sassy.

Her reaction had been quite a boost to his old ego. Of course, if he’d been half a gentleman, Kellan would have introduced Hannah as his daughter from the very start. But he had a sadistic bastard inside him from time to time and was curious to see just how far Mercy would go.

His smile faltered.

Hannah’s visit would prompt a million questions from Mercy, none of which he was ready to answer, at least not yet. Oh, Kellan knew he’d eventually have to come clean about Leena, sooner or later, but he wanted to learn more about Mercy. She might be sympathetic to his moral dilemma, but he worried she might be sickened at the thought of…

Of what? Staying friends, or do you think you could actually offer her something more, like…commitment?

He exhaled a heavy sigh. He knew the answer. But as Hannah had reminded him earlier, life wasn’t always black and white. If he found the strength to grow a pair and managed to keep his hands off Mercy sexually, he might possibly be able to teach her about the lifestyle. But eventually she’d grow tired of simply scening with him. She’d beg for his collar, and when he was forced to refuse, it would crush her. He couldn’t claim her as his slave. Couldn’t promise the kind of commitment he craved to give her…the one she, too, craved and deserved. Because in his heart, he was still Leena’s Master.

Kellan scrubbed his hands over his face.

Contemplating anything so foolish was a waste of time.

He and Mercy could share a friendship, but that was all.

She’d already burrowed too deeply inside him.

Fuck! He couldn’t even walk past the damn guest room without waltzing inside to stare at her enticing beauty.

She weakened him…his resolve…his emotions.

The power she wielded over him was frustrating. He’d never allowed himself to be so susceptible to any woman other than Leena. Kellan didn’t know how to cope with his own weakness…the weakness Mercy made him feel.

The conversation he’d had with Hannah in his study earlier wormed its way into his brain.

He’d explained to his daughter that he wasn’t sexually involved with Mercy. Of course, he hadn’t confessed that he damn well wanted to be. But his daughter wasn’t buying it, at least not in the beginning.

“Just friends?” Hannah had scoffed. “Daddy, please. I’m not three years old anymore. I know Santa Clause and the Easter bunny don’t exist. Stop, please! I see the way you look at her…the way Mercy looks at you.”

“That’s not the point,” Kellan argued. “I’m married.”

“To a zombie.
