Chapter 13

IT HADN’T BEEN a dream. Allison had stood before him as real as the nose on his face. It had taken a minute to register the slender colored woman in the pine-green dress was the curvy girl he’d lusted over for years. Did Grier stop feeding her? With him, she’d want for nothing. He’d shower her with gifts as well as his constant affection. Did she know whenever he lay with another woman he pictured her face? Just the thought of holding her again made his cock lengthen.

Grier wasn’t going to pay back his debts now. He’d never given Allison up. Frankly, he couldn’t fault the man for hanging onto her. A patient man, he’d waited for the perfect opportunity to claim the wench as his own. He hadn’t predicted the man’s death. Allison had more grit than he gave her credit for. It would be all the more fun to tame the wildcat. Yes, he’d get what he desired. Damn it, Allison should have been his years ago. They’d lost out on so much time together. He’d expected Mr. Grier to sign over ownership before the war started. Then he just used the war as an excuse for putting it off.

This was his chance to claim her – pure providence she worked on the same boat he booked passage. Providence indeed. If he kidnapped her quietly, no one would notice and if any white people did, they might raise an eyebrow, but they wouldn’t care.

Allison a chambermaid. He shook his head. Apparently she had been desperate for money, the poor woman. Being a chambermaid was a waste of her talents. He’d buy her perfume and fancy dresses. A well-bred woman brought more money in bed than a common whore. Once he found her he’d make sure she didn’t have to work another day in her life. Not hard labor. Only the pleasurable kind. And he planned it to be pleasurable for both of them.

He wasn’t a brute like Grier. He treated a lady right as long as she behaved.

Allison was a brave woman to stay this close to St. Louis after committing murder. Or maybe foolish. There was no doubt in his mind she had started the fire. Grier was unable to beat the fiery temper out of her. The defiance burning in Allison’s eyes had increased his nightly pleasure. He relished the memory of dominating her, her ultimate surrender, gave him the strongest climax of his life.

He’d succeed where Grief failed, skillfully taking her in hand. He wouldn’t tolerate any of her belligerence. Not from any woman white or black. Soon he’d have the saucy whore turned into a perfect meek doll. He’d teach her how to be a courtesan, how to wait on a man.

He pressed his lips together. “Mmmm.” It was going to be a pleasure. He’d enjoy her charms like he should have years ago.

He followed Allison out of the parlor onto the boiler deck. Looking both ways, he didn’t see her. He hurried down the steps to the main deck.
