"No…" She pleaded with him
He ," she added hastily "Please"
Fuck, she was killing hiht not respect her choice to come here for money, but he refused to let her believe he saw her as a whore
Shaking his head, he tried not to soften in the face of her entreating stare "You’re my submissive and my wife"
"Yes, but--"
"No," he corrected "I have not touched another woht, if I intended to use you si would have stopped ht now, especially not the resentment you’d feel afterward I want you to think about that, Mrs Denning I’ll be back"
Chapter Four
The door shut behind Jason, enclosing Gia in his bedroo in the silent rooh her body His sudden absence one didn’t stop her body froive her With her breasts bare and her pussy exposed, she couldn’t not be aware of her naked vulnerability Nor could she seem to pry her heart fro on?
As a police officer, the idea of being restrained in a ainst her will should bother her But Jason had relegated her to a desk because he didn’t want her hurt or killed hunting down Tony’s killer Her husband would never physically harm her On the other hand, he would very likelysince their separation
If he hadn’t aroused her just noith the purpose of wringing every bit of his money’s worth from her body, then why had he touched her? To prove he could rev up her libido? Or so about his behavior in the last twenty-four hours confused her She’d assuht to make her pay with her body before he paid in cash Now…she wasn’t sure If he’d brought her hereher, ould he insist he’d been faithful? Or speak her married name so emphatically, like he meant to underscore the fact that, at least on paper, she was still his wife
Once, she’d believed that he loved her He’d never said the words, but what he lacked in verbal affection he’d more than made up for in a hundred other ways, like his ro that she loved stargazer lilies and having huge bouquets stuffed with the chocolate ht?
Gia closed her eyes Why couldn’t everything be different? The night she and Jason had married, she’d been on top of the world He’d been the room Somehow, in less than twenty-four hours, he’d seen to every detail of their elegant cere dresses delivered to her door so she could pick one and have it heht, she’d been Cinderella at the ball, swept into his glittering world for an enchanted evening, fooling herself into i with the news of Tony’s ht Reality had ripped her froone forever, her parents didn’t know she had a husband, and she had a o away sih to marry a man she couldn’t keep
When she’d forced herself to let go of Jason et her within a month or two Six at most But nearly a year later, he seeood
Was it possible he still cared?
Gia glanced at the clock He’d only been gone ten minutes Soaway froue--a ceaseless yearning that had hounded her days and haunted her nights After just a little taste of hi to be close to hi to do about their s for hiain But even if the two of theht of letting hiain made her heart constrict
The door opened, abruptly ending her thoughts Autos up to her chest to hide as much of her nudity as possible
Jason quirked a brow "Lower them"
He stood stock-still until she co her breasts
"Spread theer--and the even more insidious arousal No way could she let hied hi her hand and revealing how ive hi as she parted her thighs His stare ilea with both desire and sha to the nightstand and taking the crystal dish in hand
The chocolate was scruary, she suspected he’d had soesture eet--a word few associated with him But Gia had seen that side of hiht, but she had expected as uilt for their faltering htfulness in his face noould only be juvenile
"Yes, please"
He relaxed, as if pleasantly surprised that she hadn’t rebuffed hiain, afterelse froain
"Open up" Jason sat on the edge of the bed and spooned up so chocolate toward herall the goodness on her tongue while he fed her The independent woman in her probably shouldn’t like this, but why lie? Sometimes, he could be so attentive, even tender, that she simply melted
In silence, he lifted one bite after the other onto her tongue until she’d sed the last of it Gia couldn’t contain the happy little sigh that escaped her throat "Thank you That was incredible"
Jason brushed a piece of hair away from her face "You’re welcoh she was still cuffed, everything was surprisingly coht, except I don’t knohy you left the roo anywhere"
"You weren’t," he confirasm you pleaded for earlier isto let you take it from me by your own hand"
"I wouldn’t have"
He shrugged "I wasn’t taking chances Are you still hungry?"
"Tonight’s dinner was more than I usually eat in three days I’ht"
"I can’t eat when I’m stressed"
Jason didn’t comment directly, he just reached over to uncuff her wrist on the far side of the bed His chest hovered near hers, their faces inches apart Gia couldn’t deny how ain
