“No, Ms. Carter, you won’t.”
How did he know my last name?
My heart slammed against my ribcage. Poker face intact, I glared at him.
My cousin changed his last name shortly after he moved to Portland. I wasn’t sure if Franco knew Quinn and I were related.
“I’ll release you if you answer my question.”
I swallowed. The way his fingers gripped my chin possessively made me so wet for him.
“Are you upset because I didn’t walk you to your room?”
“Yes,” I muttered. “You’re a stranger. Your staff members are strangers. You and I had the most interaction. For some reason, I could tell you wouldn’t beat or rape me.”
“Were my men rude to you?”
“No. Clip was very polite.”
Franco released my chin. All of a sudden, I craved his touch.
No, Kennedy, you can’t fall in like with your captor.
“We’re bad sure, but we don’t harm women and children.”
“Oh, so you won’t force me to eat dinner with you.” I smiled like I defeated Franco.
He stepped toward me, and I inched backward.
“Kennedy, I won’t smack you around to get you to comply. We had an agreement. You will honor it.”
My back smacked the wall. He flashed a devilish grin. “Now if I want you to wear that dress I picked out for you, I’ll simply slide a pair of thongs up those cinnamon legs, and over that ample ass.”
He placed his large hands on either side of my head, caging me in. “Next, I’ll get on my knees, which is something I don’t do for any woman. I’ll gather the beaded mini dress at your feet and pull it up your curvy beautiful frame.”
Fuck, I was failing miserably at holding my resolve. My pussy betrayed me, and arousal slipped down my thighs.
“I don’t have sex anymore.” The words fell from my mouth in a rush.
He snickered. “Figures.”
What did that mean?
“If you behave tonight, I’ll let you out of your gilded cage. There’s a guard at every entrance if you’re thinking about escaping.”
A cool breeze swept over my skin and a shiver shot up my spine.
“Fine, I’ll eat, then return to my room.”
Franco took a step back, nodded, and vacated the room.
I exhaled. Why did my body react to him like that?
Kennedy, he’s attractive. That’s all. Remember, he’s not your type.
“He’s not my type,” I uttered aloud.
Oh, how could I forget he didn’t like me either.
