CHAPTER 21

ELLE WAS DREAMING A FIRM, soft touch lifted her hands above her head and secured them with fur-lined cuffs She smiled in her dream This was new He’d never used handcuffs before And neither had she Elle liked new experiences Even if they only happened in her dreams

“Did you eous?”

“Mainst her suddenly hot and sensitive skin “Where have you been?”

In her dreauessing about where he was, exactly the way he did in real life

“You figured out who I aainst her hair and realised he was sitting on the bed beside her

“Nearly” She sounded sultry and needy So she would never have let him see outside of her dream “It’s only a matter of time”

“Time, huh?”

She felt fingertips trail down her cheek to her lips, and her eyes opened, seeking out the face she’d seen ever so briefly in Peru, but couldn’t get out of her mind “David,” she whispered

Only this time, the room was dark in her dream and she could barely et a better look and realised her eyes weren’t only open in her drea into the dark of her borrowed bedroo to identify for ure out as reality and asn’t

“You’re really here, aren’t you?” She sounded sleepy and slightly disorientated

“Yeah” That nondescript accent of his seemed to roll more than she rehtwear” She heard, rather than saw, a smile in his voice

All at once, Elle was veryin her Wonder Woman vest and underpants She jerked up, but her arms held her back Her eyes shot to her wrists, and damn if he hadn’t actually handcuffed her Only they weren’t the fur-lined leather cuffs from her dream These ones were fluffy and, if she wasn’t mistaken in the dark, pink

“Release me,” she said with false sweetness, “so that I can kill you”

He barked out a laugh and sat back, looking down at her “I like having you all tied up It’s the only way a woman like you would ever be at my mercy”
