He wanted her to be his.
Reuben knew she’d likely try to get out of the bargain they’d struck. But he was a lawyer. And he was stubborn.
Just ask his sister.
He wasn’t going to let her out of their agreement.
Although he wouldn’t be a complete jerk. He could compromise. He’d let her go home, hadn’t he?
That had been hard.
He’d been hoping she lived in a terrible neighborhood, so he had an excuse to bring her home with him.
He should feel thankful that she wasn’t living somewhere dangerous.
And not irritated because it didn’t suit him.
Sure, he could have pushed and gotten his own way. But he knew she was close to the edge. She’d already been traumatized by the storm.
He wasn’t such a jerk that he’d force her home with him.
Yes, you are.
Face it, you weren’t ready to have her here.
You didn’t trust yourself with her in your apartment.
Not that he would ever force someone.
He wasn’t completely without morals. He never hurt innocents.
Would Faith Blossom be a challenge to get into his bed?
Perhaps.
He didn’t mind a bit of a challenge. That was fine. As long as she didn’t challenge him by out and out disobeying him.
Some sassiness was allowed.
Breaking the rules was not.
With a sigh, he closed his eyes. A headache was throbbing in his temples.
Getting the electricity shut off had actually been surprisingly easy. He’d simply had maintenance shut off the electricity to his floor and temporarily disable the elevators.
All so he could get her on her own. She was so damn . . . skittish. And he had to be certain that she was what he wanted or if he was only interested in fucking her and nothing more.
He hadn’t counted on her fear of storms. Although that had ended up working in his favor considering that it had shown him more of her than he was certain that she wanted him to see.
It was too late for her to hide now. He’d seen her vulnerable spot. And he wasn’t above using someone’s vulnerability against them.
That’s what he did. He searched out weak spots and exploited them. But it was going to be all right for Faith. Because once she was his, he would guard her soft spot.
And no one would ever exploit her again.
Grabbing his phone, he sent her a text.
Reuben: I will pick you up tomorrow morning.
