Binds of Silk and Steel The Collision Of Wills
The car pulls up in front of my mansion, and I carry an unconscious Clare into the guest chambers, laying her carefully down on the velvet bed. I look down at her face, so peaceful, so unguarded, and my stomach twists. With shaking fingers, I smooth back her hair from her forehead, my fingers lingering against her skin longer than propriety allows. During the car ride home, I had already commanded my workers to return to her flat and move all her belongings here, into my home, where I get to keep her safe. The doorbell rings, and a few seconds later, my doctor shuffles inside. “Out of the way,” he snaps as he sees me hovering over her like a protective gargoyle. Reluctantly, I pull away and stand at the edge of the bed so he can inspect her. He immediately sets to work, pulling out his equipment and heading toward Clare. “She hit her head quite hard when she fell,” Dr. Lewis murmurs a few seconds later. “She has a concussion. She has to rest,” before leaving. The words hit me

I drop to my knees beside Clare, uncaring of my dignity or the fact that I'm ruining thousands of dollars' worth of trousers. The splintered ceramic shards press deep into my knees, yet I remain entirely oblivious to the pain as my whole world narrows on the sight of my beautiful, fierce Clare slumped motionless on the cold, unfeeling floor. My hands, usually so steady when deciding the fates of businesses, tremble violently as they hover just above Clare's cheeks, scared to touch her, terrified of causing her more pain. I squeeze my eyes firmly shut, and with a low, ragged groan, I finally force my shaking hands to move. “Clare,” I whisper hoarsely, my voice cracking, a sound so foreign to me that even the shadows on the wall seem to recede. “Oh God, Clare,” I pull her upper body into my lap, her head lolling against my chest. The blood continues to drip from the back of her head, staining my button-down shirt and making her curls tangle together. “Open your eyes, sweetheart,”
Binds of Silk and Steel The Cost of Trespassing
Under the full force of my wrath, the wooden door doesn't merely open; it splinters inward, tearing away from the rusted deadbolt and crashing to the floor with a deafening thud that echoes loudly in the room, making the dust on the floor rise and fall again.I step into the cramped flat, smelling faintly of old pages, ink, and a scent that makes terror claw at my throat: blood.My eyes take a moment to adjust to the dimly lit room, and when they do, the sight that greets me makes the blood in my veins run hot and cold at once.Clare, my fierce, intelligent Clare, is slumped motionless on the floor, her body twisted in a sickening angle, blood pooling beneath her head, with a naked Logan practically on top of her, his disgusting hands spreading her beautiful thighs apart, panting like an animal.He blinks at the sudden rush of cold air and light from outside, yet doesn't lift his head, thinking he's completely safe from my wrath. How utterly, catastrophically foolish.“Get. Away. From
Binds of Silk and Steel Breaking Point
Julian's POVThe hum of the engine should be a soothing sound, a quiet punctuation to an exhausting evening. Instead, the silence in the back of the car feels heavy, charged.My heart is beating wildly against my chest, a frantic rhythm that tells me something is horribly wrong.I stare out the tinted window, yet my mind refuses to let me focus on the passing trees and street signs.The memory of that slammed door rings in my ears, but more than that, it’s Logan’s parting shot that’s eating away at me: She hasn't told you, has she? You're in for a surprise.What could she possibly be hiding? What history does she share with a predator like Logan Benson that makes her look like a deer caught in headlights?I reach up, dragging a hand over my face, letting out a low, frustrated breath. For the last three years, Clare has been the most stable, unshakeable presence in my life. She knows my schedule before I do, handles my worst moods without blinking, and keeps my multi-million-doll

Clare's POV:I lean my head against the doorframe, my heart still hammering against my ribs. I clench my eyes shut as I try to steady my racing pulse.Why, out of every night, did it have to be today? Why did he have to show up just as Julian and I were making progress?Only when I hear the car engine start and drive off do I allow myself to exhale.I lock the door behind me, and turn toward the bedroom, kicking my heels off with a satisfied sigh, and freeze, gasping.“Hi there, Clare,” Logan purrs from my bed.“What are you doing here, Logan?” I demand, taking a step toward the bedroom to throw him out, only to freeze dead in my tracks as I realize he's completely naked.“Your new boyfriend threatened to end my life, Clare, I personally think he's more bark than bite,” he declares, standing up. “I'm simply here to collect what I'm due.”I take a quick step backward, almost tripping over the heels I recently discarded, and hear Logan chuckle, a low, rough sound that makes my skin craw
Binds of Silk and Steel Shattered Glass and Closed Doors
Julian's POV:“We're leaving. Now,” I growl, lacing my fingers through hers again and leading her toward the exit.We don't speak a single word as the driver pulls up to the curb and we slide into the leather-lined interior of the car. The heavy doors thud shut, sealing us off from the noise of the gala, but the suffocating weight of what just happened follows us right inside.Clare immediately shifts away, angling her body rigidly toward the window, her hands clenched so tightly in her lap that her knuckles are white.Logan's vile words echo relentlessly in the dark recesses of my mind, loud and mocking: She hasn't told you, has she? You're in for a surprise.My jaw clenches so hard a back tooth aches with a dull, sharp throb. What is she hiding from me? What dark corner of her past is that predator holding over her head? The agonizing lack of control makes my skin crawl.“Clare,” I start, my voice cutting through the quiet, but she turns her head and slices me off before I can
