Chapter 18

Benjamin had never felt so relieved to get out of a carriage in his life. The first six hours had been wonderful; the last two, not so much. A viper would have been better company. After finding that letter from Robbie, he’d been unable to sleep. That little weasel knew right where they were and he didn’t like that one bit. Not that he was afraid Madison would run off with him. He was more afraid Robbie would try to persuade her and when she refused, he’d turn violent. He’d been around Robbie enough during his month in America to know if Robbie needed to, he’d use force to get what he wanted. Benjamin had seen him use both physical force and emotional manipulation to get girls to bend to his will, which is probably what he’d done with Madison.

He’d probably used one of his famous, “You say you love me, why not show me?” or “How can you deny the love between us? You can’t, I know it, so let’s go show it,” or some other ridiculous line he’d made up and used to play on a woman’s emotions to get her to lift her skirt. He had a way about him. First, he’d have used his charm. Then, if that hadn’t worked, he’d have shot those guilt arrows squarely at the person. And if neither of those methods achieved the desired result, he’d have used physical force. The very thought sickened him. Madison was such a good person, how could he have taken advantage of her that way? And why had she let him? She’d stood up to Benjamin just fine. Why didn’t she stand up to that ass? Love. That was the reason. It was the reason so many intelligent people did stupid things. Things like pay someone to chase a whole family off the continent.

He now knew she no longer loved Robbie. No, now she seemed to have transferred all that emotion directly onto Andrew. Lucky man. The admiration in her eyes when she spoke of him or teased him was enough to make Benjamin want to rip his own hair out. He always had a way of finding Madison after she’d fallen in love. Now that he had her all to himself in the middle of nowhere, perhaps his luck would change and she’d fall in love with him.

But first, she was going to be angry.

“Show me to my dungeon,” she said fiercely, clutching her blanket for dear life.

He shook his head. “You’re not going to a dungeon. You’ll stay in my room.”

“Your room, dungeon, same thing,” she said pertly. “Just show me where I’m to be locked away, so that I may lie upon my bed and dream up all the ways you could torture me.”

“I’m not going to torture you,” he hissed.

“You already are,” she retorted. “If you take me back right now, I might forgive you.”

“No,” he ground out, steering her into the house. “I’m protecting you. Until I’m informed he’s
