CHAPTER EIGHT

SHE KNEW EXACTLY what she was asking for. But she was tired of pretending it wasn’t what she wanted. She had been determined to make it his responsibility. And then, when he had done all those things to her that had made her shake and shiver, that had affected a small earthquake inside her body, she had run away.

Had avoided him as diligently as she possibly could. As if she could wait him out. Until the timer was up on her sentence.

But, she was done with that. Done with it completely. Tonight, she was cocooned in fantasy, at a ball in a beautiful palace with the only prince who would ever rule over her heart. Yes, in the end she would have to sort everything out with Tony, and she was probably being a bad person, giving herself to another man when she had avoided doing that with the man she’d been dating for months.

But for some reason, in Adam’s arms everything seemed clear. Desire, need and that hungry thing inside her that might be a beast.

She was so tired of pushing it all down. So tired of pretending to feel nothing, of forcing herself to want nothing. She had clung to that stability she’d been given by her father, to every easy, responsible thing that had come her way, because she had been certain it would be the key to protecting herself from further injury. The key to protecting herself from hurting other people. And here she was, considering doing something that would certainly hurt at least one person.

That made her stomach seize up tight. But, it was something she would have to deal with later. If she had a phone on her, she would deal with it now, but she had been prevented from making any contact with the outside world, so she couldn’t. And anyway, it was probably for the best. That she was cut off from all that safety, from that familiarity.

In many ways, being taken captive by Adam had led to a strange kind of freedom. She wasn’t beholden to anyone. Didn’t have to be the perfect daughter, didn’t have to be an example of anything. She was cut off completely from all her responsibility, from everyone who knew her. Everyone who knew her as Belle Chamberlain, the very levelheaded, bookish girl who led with her head and never her heart. And certainly never the needs of her body.

None of those people were here to judge her. None of those people were here for her to please or impress. And without that...

She wanted him. And she would have him.

“Adam,” she said, his name a plea on her lips. “When do we get to leave the party?”

He growled, drawing her up against him, his arm like a steel band around her waist. “Now,” he said, that voice shot through with iron just like the rest of him.

She found him leading her off the dance floor, out of the ballroom. “Where are we going?” she asked.

“I assume that Felipe readied the room I normally stay in when I come to visit.
