Chapter Eleven

Sara couldn’t believe she was telling him some of this stuff—she hadn’t even been able to tell Ridley her feelings about Will because her friend was so jazzed up on her own happiness. And she was happy for her brothers. But it still stung.

Z hadn’t called her a monster or told her that she was selfish for feeling this way. And now he was offering to take away one of the things that had spooked her in the first place. She bit her lip. Now that she’d calmed down a little, it seemed kind of ridiculous for her to react so strongly in the first place. “I feel a little silly for freaking out.”

“Don’t. You’re entitled to feel the way you do, regardless of the cause.” He gripped the back of her neck, the feeling of his hand more a comfort than she ever could have anticipated. “But you will talk to me about it next time, instead of trying to run.”

Next time.

More talking.

The thought should panic her even more, but there was something steady about Z that settled her in spite of herself. He was a rock—if one that liked to toss her around and beat her ass and make her come… She shifted, half-surprised at how quickly things had gone from fear to heat. She licked her lips. “Okay.”

“Now, be honest with me—do you want this to stop?” He asked it without anything in his tone condemning her decision one way or another. If she said she never wanted him to touch her again, he’d back off and they’d spend the rest of this exile…what? Warily? Awkwardly? Fighting every second to keep from touching each other? All of the above?

Or she could let go of her fear and grab this thing with both hands and ride it out to its conclusion.

When she thought of it that way, there wasn’t much of a choice. As much as she hated the idea of letting him in enough to really hurt her, she hated the idea of ending this now even more. She dredged up what remained of her courage. “I don’t want this to stop… Sir.”

His green eyes bored into hers, demanding the truth. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

Z sat back and took off his necklace. It was a small golden circle with a compass rose over the top, the directions holding their normal positions—north on top, south on bottom, east and west on either side. He set it over her head. “I don’t have a collar, but this will do for the time being.” He twisted the chain, tightening it ever so slightly around her throat. “If it gets to be too much, or you start to panic, tell me. Do you understand?”

She swallowed hard. “Yes, Sir.”

“Good girl.” He kissed her, a quick brushing of the lips. “Now, let’s see about some food.”

Just like that, they were back on familiar territory. He let her climb to her feet and he paused to pull on a pair of pants. She started to reach for her robe, but a sharp look from him had her leaving it on the floor.
