Chapter Five
Later that afternoon, Blake came into the bedroom with an armful of clothing and bags. She looked up from the book she was reading. “What have you got there?” she asked.
“Clothes for you. Faith and Beth got some things together for you to use until I can get you some.”
“I don’t need a lot, and I have a closet full of them at home.”
“I want you to wear things I got you.” He sat down beside her and pulled her feet into his lap.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“I’m holding you.”
She rolled her eyes when he grinned.
“I’m going to have to leave for a bit, but I’ll be back before dinner.”
“Okay. What should I do?”
“I want you to stay in our room until I come to get you.”
“Why?” she asked.
“Because I don’t want you roaming around without me until you know what I expect and the rules I’ll put down for you.”
“Excuse me? You’re kidding me, right?”
One of his brows rose. “No, pet, I’m not.”
“You’re not my father, Blake.”
“I know that. But I will be your husband, so get used to obeying me.”
She snorted. “We’ll see. I should warn you that I don’t take orders very well.”
His hand slid up and down her thigh. “I have full confidence that you’ll get used to it. You don’t have a choice.”
“Oh, but I do. When this thing is done with my family, and my mom is free, I can live with her.”
He pulled her up until she straddled his hips and faced him. He did it so easily that it made her feel weightless. His hands cupped her face. “You need to come to grips with the fact that you’ll be mine.”
“I…”
“Shhh. I think I need to show you who you belong to, but I don’t have time.”
She tried to pull back when he bent and took her lips. Every thought vanished in her head, and her whole focus was on how he made her feel.
Their breathing was choppy when he lifted his head.
“Fuck, pet. We’re going to burn up the sheets.”
“What does that mean?” she asked.
“Hell, I forgot how innocent you are. It just means that when I get my cock in you, it’s going to drive both of us crazy.”
She felt a shiver of part desire and part fear rush through her.
“Don’t you worry, baby. I will take such good care of you that you’ll never think of leaving my side, although I’d never let it happen, but I want you happy and to want me as I do you.”
