That voice. Even in a whisper, it’s too familiar to ignore.
No. Not you.
“Let go of me!” I try to shout. But my words just crash against the impossibly strong palm that’s holding me down.
“What was that, princess? You want me to hurt you? How kinky…”
“Stop calling me princess,” I mumble against Leonid Barinov’s massive hand. His skin is far rougher than I would have expected—it’s only another sign that this monster is no prince. He knows how to use these fingers. They’ve inflicted pain on so many souls before.
Now, it’s my turn.
“If you ever want to breathe again, you’re going to stop trying to speak. Understand?”
Leonid’s palm presses even harder against my mouth and the airway into my nose is blocked off. For a second, I think that this might be the end of me. But then I have enough sense to nod, and the devil’s grip loosens just enough so that I can breathe again.
“Good girl.”
I can’t see him, but I can feel his hot breath washing down my cheek as he whispers into my ear. His voice is like a growl, threatening and deep and ready to bite. To my dismay, it reaches deep into the pit of my stomach and pulls out a familiar, but wholly unwelcomed feeling.
Arousal.
The same arousal I gave into while I was taking a bath. The same arousal I forced myself to crush before I was allowed to get to sleep tonight.
But Leonid isn’t letting me forget him.
Whether this is a nightmare or not, it doesn’t matter. He’s got me under his thumb.
It makes me want to scream.
Thankfully, I’m smart enough not to.
“I’m going to drop my hand from around your mouth, Sophia,” Leonid says. “But I need you to promise that you won’t say a word. You must know enough about me to know that I kill those who disobey my orders. And I’m quick enough that I’ll be able to take your life and then escape before anyone will even think to come running to your rescue.”
Before I can nod again, I feel something big and hard poke into the small of my back.
… But is it a gun?
My dirty, reckless imagination runs wild with possibilities and my skin prickles with an unwanted excitement.
What the hell is he doing here?
It doesn’t sound like Leonid wants to kill me. But then what is this all about? Does he want to rape me? Kidnap me?
… Or just tease me?
“Can I trust you?” he asks.
It’s not like I have an option. I give him the nod he so clearly craves.
Slowly, his hand brushes down from around my mouth, pulling my lips down with it. The bulge pushing into my back gets bigger and harder. The pressure whirling around in my core starts to shake.
I clench my fists and try to force some common sense back into my faltering mind.
Keeping my word, I stay silent as Leonid flips me onto my stomach. When he straddles over top of my ass, I want to scream out, but I manage to bite into my pillow instead.
He’s huge, and the way he’s pushing down onto my body is making my toes curl.
Fucking hell. Please don’t look at my toes.
