WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DISOBEY ME

CHAPTER ELEVEN Before I can process that, before I can respond, he bends and scoops me up into his arms.Bridal style. Like I weigh nothing.One arm under my knees, the other supporting my back. My head falls against his chest automatically.I can hear his heartbeat. Fast. Pounding with barely contained rage.He turns and walks off the stage.The crowd parts for him like the Red Sea. No one wants to be in his path. No one wants to risk drawing his attention after what they just witnessed.His men fall into formation behind us as we walk toward the exit.I look back over his shoulder.The auction hall is still silent. Salvador's corpse is slumped in its seat, blood pooling beneath it, his destroyed heart on the floor. The other bidders sit frozen, champagne glasses forgotten, faces pale.The chained girls on stage watch us leave with a mixture of envy and terror.We pass through the double doors and into the hallway. The sounds of the auction hall fade behind us.Dante doesn't slow do

YOU'RE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

CHAPTER TWELVEThe SUV stops in front of the compound with a screech of tires.Before the vehicle even fully stops, Dante shoves the door open and hauls me out.Not gently. Not carefully.He drags me.His hand is wrapped around my upper arm like a vice, fingers digging into my flesh hard enough to bruise. My feet barely touch the ground as he pulls me toward the entrance."You're hurting me!" I gasp, stumbling, trying to keep up with his long strides.His grip only tightens."I don't fucking care."The words come out as a snarl. Not human. His wolf voice layered underneath, making the air itself vibrate with power.The sound hits me like a physical force.My wolf, already weak, already terrified, bolts deeper inside me. Fleeing from the dominant predator. Every instinct I have screams submit, submit, you're going to die if you don't submit.I stop struggling. Can't help it.It's not a conscious choice. It's biology. Hierarchy. When an alpha uses their wolf voice like that, every other

THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD FEAR ME

CHAPTER THIRTEEN:I spread my arms wide. Stopped fighting."You've already taken everything from me. My freedom. My life. My future. You've separated me from everyone I know, paused my entire existence, trapped me in this gilded cage."My voice cracks."Might as well take this too. What's one more thing?"His hand is still frozen on my hip."Is this because of that imbecile you call a boyfriend?" The question comes out strangled. His hand flies to my throat, gripping it. Not squeezing. Just holding. "Is that why you're fighting me?"I laugh. It's a broken, bitter sound."At least he respects me enough not to force himself on me."The words land like a physical blow.Something flickers across Dante's face. The amber in his eyes dims slightly. The wolf recedes just a fraction.And I see it.Recognition. Horror. Shame.He's seeing what he's doing. Really seeing it.His hand drops from my throat like I've burned him.He staggers back a step. Then another.Looks at me, half-naked, crying,

I MIGHT KISS YOU BREATHLESS

CHAPTER FOURTEENI wake up with a pounding headache.The first thing I register is brightness. Sunlight streaming through those massive floor-to-ceiling windows, hitting me directly in the face with an intensity that makes my eyes water.I groan and squeeze my eyes shut again, turning my face away from the light.That's when I realize something's wrong with my neck. And my back. And basically every muscle in my body.Everything aches.I open my eyes slowly, squinting against the brightness, and try to figure out why I feel like I've been hit by a truck.Then I see the floor beneath me.Expensive hardwood. Not a mattress.I'm still on the floor.Oh.The memories come flooding back. The bathroom. The shower that lasted until the water ran cold. Coming back out wrapped in the towel, looking at his massive bed with its expensive sheets and deciding absolutely not.I couldn't sleep in his bed. Wouldn't.It felt too intimate. Too much like accepting something I wasn't ready to accept.So I'

SO WHICH WILL IT BE, LITTLE ONE?

CHAPTER FIFTEEN I scorn at him. Actually make a sound of disgust."Of course. That's your answer to everything, isn't it? Threats and intimidation and...""I could get you into the best school here in Colombia."The subject change is so abrupt it takes me a second to process."What?""The best university in Medellín. Better than whatever community college you're attending in the States. I could get you enrolled in whatever program you want. The course of your dreams. Money no object."He says it like it's that easy.Like he can just buy my compliance. Buy my forgiveness."And why would I want that?" I ask coldly. "I worked hard for what I have. Months of sleepless nights earned me the scholarship I have today. I'm not going to waste it for your glamorous, self-righteous gesture."Something flashes in his eyes. Respect maybe? Or irritation?"Watch your words, little one.""What?" I take a step toward him, reckless with anger. "Are you going to kiss me? Assault me again?"The growl tha

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

CHAPTER SIXTEENI look at him, feeling a confusing mix of emotions churning in my stomach.Shy. That's the dominant one. Followed closely by anger. And underneath it all, a thread of something I don't want to examine too closely."Is everything about sex to you?" The question comes out more timid than I intended.His frown is immediate. "Sex?" He actually looks puzzled. "When did I ask you to fuck me?"The crude word makes me flinch, but he continues before I can respond."I gave you two options, little one. Neither of them involves me being inside you. Though..." his eyes darken, "...that's certainly on the agenda eventually."I scorn at him, crossing my arms over my chest. The oversized shirt shifts with the movement, and I'm suddenly very aware that I'm not wearing anything underneath except the panties from yesterday.His eyes track the movement. Notice.Of course he notices."Listen, little one." His voice takes on that businesslike tone. Cold. Transactional. "Nothing goes for no

THE LIE IS GETTING HARDER TO BELIEVE

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN I break away abruptly, stumbling backward. Breathing heavily. My lips feel swollen. My entire body is trembling.I can't look at him. Can't meet his eyes. Can't face what I just did.I touched him. I rubbed his cock. I made him moan.My face is on fire. My heart is racing so fast I think I might pass out."That was surprising."His voice is rough. Deeper than usual. Affected.I keep my eyes on the floor, watching his expensive shoes come closer.He's walking toward me.No. No, not again.I take a step back.He keeps coming.Another step back. My pulse is skyrocketing.Memories of last night flood back. Him advancing. Me retreating. My back hitting the wall. His hands tearing my dress.Is he going to do it again? Did I give him the wrong idea?"What are you doing?" My voice is high. Panicked. "I... I satisfied you!"I take another step back. And another.He keeps pace with me, that predatory look in his eyes."Stop!" I hold up my hands. "I did what you asked! I kisse

TURNS ME ON

CHAPTER EIGHTEENThe black SUV rolls to a stop in what appears to be a private section of the airport, completely separated from the commercial terminals.No crowds. No security lines. Just empty tarmac stretching toward a sleek white airplane waiting in the distance.A private jet. Of course.The vehicle has barely stopped moving when the doors open and five men emerge. All wearing black tactical gear, earpieces visible, hands resting casually near concealed weapons. They move with military precision, forming a protective perimeter around the SUV.Someone like Dante would need this level of security everywhere he goes, I think, watching them through the tinted window.The door beside me opens. Dante's hand extends toward me.I ignore it and climb out on my own.His jaw tightens slightly, the only indication he noticed the slight, but he doesn't comment. Just places his hand on the small of my back, possessive and guiding, as we walk across the tarmac.The touch burns through the thi

TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT THIS

CHAPTER NINETEEN This morning, when I finally got dressed, there were only the clothes he'd selected laid out for me. Including underwear. Black lace. Expensive. I'd had no choice but to wear them.And apparently, he's been thinking about that.He stops in front of me again, reaching for the champagne glass.But instead of taking another drink, he sets it carefully on the table."It's time to take my revenge, Elena."The way he says my name, not 'little one,' not any nickname, sends a chill down my spine."You can't do this here, Dante." I glance toward the curtain. "Your men are just a few feet away.""I don't care."His hand moves to the side of the seat I'm sitting in. There's a barely visible button there that I hadn't noticed.He presses it.Something clicks. Whirs.Before I can process what's happening, metal restraints shoot out from the armrests, wrapping around both my wrists and clamping down. More restraints emerge from the base of the seat, wrapping around my ankles.I'm

YOU MOAN SO BEAUTIFULLY

CHAPTER TWENTY"You moan so beautifully, Elena."His voice is dark. Hungry. He's looking at me like he wants to devour every part of me, piece by piece.I bite my lip hard, trying to stop any more sounds from escaping. Trying to regain some shred of control over my treacherous body.His hands move to the waistband of my panties. Fingers hooking into the lace.I don't know why I don't stop him.Why I don't scream or fight or demand he release me from this chair.Why I'm just sitting here, legs spread wide by the restraints, letting him touch me, letting him see how wet I am, letting him...He stops.Suddenly. Completely.His hands withdraw from my panties. His mouth leaves my breast.He steps back, putting distance between us, and looks at me with something that might be satisfaction in his eyes."Well," he says, his voice maddeningly casual, "I do value consent. And since you haven't explicitly consented to this, I won't make another move."What?He reaches for the button on the chair
