“Hmm…” At first he wanted to say no, but he yielded, “Okay. But for that you will be obeying all my commands and won’t defy me even once, because if you do that I am going to imprison you and chain you in the dungeons underneath this castle.” He raised an eyebrow when she stilled. “Do you agree to me?” he asserted.
Penny’s mind froze. The gesture was sexy as hell and reeked of danger. She blurted almost without any control over herself, “How do you know that it is not me who you want… or is your mate?”

Over the last few days, Ludwig had started collecting things that he thought he would gift her. There was an armoire full of dresses that would look suitable on her. There were lingerie too, especially red in color. He couldn’t help when his imagination ran wild. He had placed all the jewelry he had collected from her in the vintage shop in the armoire along with the dresses. Every night he would gaze at his growing collection for Penny.
