One minute, he was shredding her into pieces with such ruthlessness, and the next…such tenderness showed in his eyes that she thought she would shatter in the face of it.
“Where are you going? When will you return?”
He stared at her for a long, disturbing, soul-crushing moment before he covered the distance between them. Still reclining on the chaise, she waited with bated breath, her heart hammering behind her rib cage.
He would surely cut her to pieces for asking that question, for assuming such…
Kneeling down to her level, he took her hand in his. Her hand was delicately slender in his huge one, and suddenly, she felt a sense of security she hadn’t known in a long time. It was as if a fuzzy feeling unspooled in her gut.
“I have a very irate portfolio manager that I have to mollify after my latest bout of shopping frenzy,” he whispered, and she laughed through the weariness.
“Tonight I can sleep, can’t I? For as long as I want?”
He squeezed her hand, and she thought how rough his palm was. “Yes, you can, Jas. No one will come in. You’re…safe here.”
Her eyelids felt as if they would glue together forever. Jas squeezed his hand back and whispered, “Thank you,” before giving in to the sleep claiming her.
Maybe she didn’t have to hate Dmitri so thoroughly, the thought came to her. She would still pay him back, yes, but they could at least be friends, couldn’t they?
As much friends as she could be with a man who had bought her and who set her pulse racing like nothing in life ever had.
A man who was making it harder for her to hate him.
