“I appreciate you giving up your roo his shirt off and throwing it on the chair beside the bed

“What are you doing?”

“Getting ready for bed; the bathrooe chest against the wall, pulling out a white t-shirt and handed it to her

“I a in your bed with you” Scandalized, Beth went to leave the room

“Are you for real?” Razer snapped

“Don’t be an ass I a with you”

“Yes… you are No one gives up their room here All the bedrooms are spoken for, the couch is full and so are the two in the back room But even if they were available, you still wouldn’t sleep alone One of the other men would be on you in a second”

“They would rape me?”

”No, but you wouldn’t sleep alone Coet some sleep, I’ ridiculous

“All right” Beth gave in, too tired to argue further

Beth took the t-shirt and went into the clean bathrooht make-up from her face, she reluctantly went back into the bedroom Razer was already in bed; his eyes followed her across the roo the covers up to her chest

“Need anything? Water?”

“No, thank you” The light went out and Beth lay back stiffly, angry with herself for how silly she was acting Razer just made her so nervous she didn’t kno to react Her body wanted his had becoht to reject the desires that burned inside her body Yet the intellectual side of her knew that there was nothing wrong with expressing her sexuality in a committed relationship The true hesitation that held Beth back was that she knew Razer didn’t want a committed relationship He wanted a purely sexual one that left his heart and e the other women and Beth couldn’t handle that It would destroy her and Beth couldn’t leave herself so vulnerable

She turned to her side, closing her eyes A hard ar her to his war and safe and as ht of soh malice towards her to cause physical har in terror Beth did not do confrontations well She always backed down Even in school she never got in an argument She was an out and out coward and freely ad her eured out she was terrified, not even Razer

Razer pulled her tighter against hiainst hiht he was hers

Razer felt her fall asleep when her grip finally loosened on the arhtened hera bed with him He had lied when he had told her that theher exactly where he wanted her They wouldn’t have gone near her unless she had asked or given an invitation But Razer had no intention of telling the tiht, she was in his bed right where he wanted her

Chapter 11

Beth woke up with an urgent desire to use the bathroo out the onlyin the roo on his sto How had she not have known he was naked under the covers? Stupidly, unable to gather her thoughts at the glory before her, she got out of the bed to empty her full bladder

When she was done and washed her hands, she turned the light out and went back to bed Beth was an early riser, but did not knohat to do with herself if she got out of bed Her eyes couldn’t stay away froers itched to reach out and touch Frustrated with herself, she plu back down As she did, Razer rose and pulled her beneath him

“Can’t sleep?”

“This is the tiet up”

“This is the ti to bed” He mocked her

“Yes, but I work” Beth regretted her words at his angry look

“I work,” he snapped

“You do? I never see you around town”

“That’s because I don’t work in town, not that there are many jobs available”

“Then what do you do? Do you work online?”

Razer got out of bed and went to the chest, pulling out fresh clothes

“I will show you Get dressed while I take a shower Evie said she would put some clothes for you outside the door on her way to work”

Beth gathered the clothes sitting neatly outside the door Evie had picked a pale creaht, but the pants fit perfect She was co her hair with the small brush in her purse when Razer walked back in with a towel around his hips

Beth put the brush down tugging her hair back into a tight ponytail, unable to prevent her eyes froet dress in jeans and black shirt Throwing her a s on his boots
