CHAPTER 6

AMETHYST

As a teen, I knew I wanted a protective husband. A man that would put himself between me and the world. I wanted a man that would treat me like a queen and give me all the love my mother never had with my father. Oliver was that man. I knew it the day he took that bullet for me. And then he was just gone.

Emptiness fills my stomach. I reach for the rings hanging between my breasts, but I don’t feel the usual calmness they usually provide.

A heavy weight settles in the pit of my stomach. I try to lift it by inhaling through my nose and letting the stress out with a heavy sigh but I just feel more tense.

I lift my heavy hair off my neck. “Jewel.” I try out my safe word and I’m suddenly knocked into the past and the last time I heard my husband call me his jewel. Or it could have been a dream. I was in bed. The light of the moon spilling over me and my husband's mouth pleasuring me. I remember not wanting to wake if it were a dream or not interrupting him if it wasn’t.

A fine layer of sweat breaks out over my forehead, and I pat at the dampness. I can’t see anything through the blindfold. My heart is beating so fast I feel faint.

And then the door opens.

“Hello?” The tiny hairs on my arms rise and goosebumps race over my skin. I pull deeper into the cloak. “Let me know if you are in the room.”

Silence.

I strain to hear anything else but all I get is a vast void of darkness behind this stupid blindfold. I’ve had enough of this. I feel for the folded edge and move to yank it off, but my fingers grow still when a deep voice fills the silence.

“Don’t break the first rule, sweetheart, before the night gets started.”

I jump and nearly fall over, my heart on the floor between my legs. Strong arms come around my middle and the scent of a man surrounds me.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I was left here and basically told to stand still until I’m told to do otherwise.”

Warmth seeps into my cold body and I try to tell myself I should be scared but I’m not.

“Such impatience,” the husky-voiced stranger drawls out close to my ear. His words brush against loose strands causing a shiver to work through my body. He sounds familiar. Maybe. I Dig around in my memory bank, but nothing comes back.

“I don’t have patience for games nor do I flare for the dramatic is all,” I deadpan with a little more sass than I should have with the price tag he just paid.

His low, warm laugh peppers my ears but I still can’t place him. I must be losing my mind.

Tips of callused fingers caress over the edge of the blindfold. A couple of tugs and he secures it back in place. As quickly as his arms come around me, they suddenly drop and I’m left standing in the middle of the room.
