It catches me by surprise.
My heart begins to beat wildly in my chest.
My body starts responding in all the wrong ways as I fight against my own reaction.
His touch sends fire running through me. Sparks are flying and I hate how good this feels.
My skin lights beneath his hands and begs for more. I want to feel his naked skin against mine.
His body pressed against me floods me with memories that I try desperately to fight.
But I can't.
And when a soft moan of pleasure escapes my lips I practically die of embarrassment.
I want to scream.
I want to cry.
I want to slap him again for making me feel this way.
But I can barely move. He's too strong.
He's overbearing and pinning me down.
Finally, he leans away from me to look down on me - that smug look still etched into his expression - the sly half smile making me furious.
I turn my head away as my cheeks begin to burn.
He's still looking at me. I can't take this for another second.
"What?" I snap angrily.
"You will not defy me, Amelia. You will do exactly as I say when I say it. You will give me what I want. If you don't - " his jaw flexes and his eyes fill with a dark threat. "If you don't, I will make you suffer pain far worse than death. You will be begging for death to escape it.
He steps away from me and I shudder, suddenly free I feel so disgusted with myself for being turned on by him.
I want to run back to Elle's room, but I'm scared he will follow me there. I'd rather stand here and suffer whatever torment he has for me than lead him towards my daughter.
"When you aren't at work, you will be here."
"What do you mean?"
"You will not go out without my permission. As soon as you are finished with your shift at work, you will return to the house."
"You plan to keep me locked up here? Why? You can't do that. You can't treat me like a prisoner." I protest, feeling the weakness of my position. My heart is heavy and sinking by the second.
"Of course, I can." He says calmly. His confidence pisses me off. He knows I have no choice.
He brushes his hand over my cheek, and I turn my face away in anger.
With one last chuckle, he walks away from me and I swallow the tears away.
Taking a few deep breaths I force myself to calm down before I walk towards Elle's room. This is her first day here. She will be nervous in a new space and all I wanted to do was check in on her when I got home from work.
I never want to expose her to whatever is going on between Stefano and me. I want to protect her from that side of living here.
With one last soft sigh, I walk into her room with a smile on my face.
