Fox had a way of drawing nerves and anxiety, along with lust and attraction--it was a potent co to be afraid of"

His nostrils flared as his eyes widened "Who exactly are you?"

"I’ht for sex"

He chuckled

My eyes widened I didn’t think he would be the type to laugh--he seemed too serious, too conflicted all the tiht awareness between us Sitting on the edge of the bed, his hip pressed hard againstHis face was hard and stern, his scar particularly vivid "Once I put this on, you’re not to take it off"

I refused to agree to anything that related to my freedom I wasn’t a prisoner His damp hair and s the subject, I asked, "You never caers clenching around the glea we need to discuss I only sleep during the day I sleep from sunrise till midday You’ll follow my routine"

InClara’s breakfast and lunch for school I would be dressed and arip, he let the silver slither fro in the long length of chain pooling on top of the sheet "What is it?"

"I made it for you It’s a way toharder I reached out to touch it, but Fox leaned forward and scooped the s, and we both froze

My lips parted as the lingering heat from my dream came back in full force My blood carried sticks of dynah my system, ready for more a a careful distance His body stayed tight and disciplined as he ordered, "Lean forward and hold up your hair"

Ah, dilemma

If I put my hands up, the sheet would fall My nipples hardened at the thought of being exposed to hi myself completely I stupidly felt that once he’d seen me, he’d know more of my secrets, understand just how much I kept from hiain" His eyes roved down to my lips, across my exposed throat, to the swell of my small B’s "I want to see Showathered ed to keep the sheet tight under o of the sheet"

My heart flew into asped as the sheet whispered downto ht, I tried not to shohat his fixed look of fascination did to le-aze

Just like his body held remnants of his violent life, so did mine I hadn’t co a shallow scar along my left side and another deeper scar just aboveover the nipple bar pierced right through "You willingly deforled "YouI consider it ht I can do what I want Just like you adorn yourself in scars; I can add soht "You think those are willing You think I allowed those to happen?" Pacing away, he dragged hands through his hair before cursing under his breath

His temper evaporated as quickly as it’d co what the hell I should do Was itback to sit on the bed, he gazed at the barbell as if it was blaspheone was the strong, bossy stranger In his place sat a , Fox ether and lean forward"

Not saying a word, I obeyed and shivered as his hands went around my neck Fox’s scent of slittered in the sunlight like a living thing, but burned my skin like ice

"What is it?" My voice wavered Nerves lived in rehite as I locked thehter

Don’t touch him Don’t touch him

"I told you" Fox’s breath tickledlength of chain dangled down the front of , he positioned the cool silver in the valley of my breasts and down the centre ofto attention I wanted to lean into his touch and invite more, but at the same time I wanted to run If a simple touch could make me wet, hoould I cope when he finally took me?

"Keep your hands locked" He eyed my lap as if I planned to touch hi Eyes drilled into ain Gathering the reths and wrapped it aroundI froze as he fu it somehow

The result was one chain arounddown the front of my body

"Perfect It fits"

I eyed the jewellery It looked like a norhtly thicker More robust than an average necklace, yet delicate enough to be fe "Hopefully it ork At the very least, it will giveat the silver between runted "You’re not to re before bed, you’re to let me secure the final part Every time we have sex, you’ll let me attach this to the necklace"

"Attach what?"

My mouth went dry as he pulled another chain from his pocket This one had a s for me to hold out an arm, he secured the heavy duty silver aroundthe padlock closed He looped the length of chain through the one aroundthe last part around ht

He’d effectively trussedabout bondage"

He shook his head "It isn’t bondage It’s protection"

Fear thickened as I looked into his eyes "Protection? Fro me bare "Me"
