I’m attracted to Jaxon and now he knows it. More importantly, nowIknow it without doubt. The moment you can label an emotion means it’s no longer something you can deny.

How can I be attracted to my captor orwanthim when I’m planning to escape?

Chapter Ten

Jaxon

I’m enroute to San Francisco in my private jet.

I must be at least seven miles above ground and all I can think of is Gabriella De Costa’s beautiful body and the sweet taste of her pussy.

That taste of desire and temptation is still in my mouth.

Fuck.I wish I’d gone down on her and eaten her out to get a better taste.

I only stopped myself because I knew I’d still be there now. And I would have been doing so much more than justtastingher.

My damn cock is aching to be inside her. That’s not because I haven’t had a woman in months.

I’ve been busy and bored with my usual types but I’ve had plenty of opportunities all around me. Now I seem to have developed a craving for sweet and difficult.

I’ve also fucked my mind over for this trip. Any hopes of heading out with a clear mind went out the door the moment my wife-to-be walked out of the shower wrapped in that little towel.

My sole intention in seeing her was to give her a gentle warning so she wouldn’t try to escape. Instead it was her who worked some kind of magic on me to make me lose my head.

She and her smart little mouth nearly got me in trouble. I wanted her so badly I nearly canceled the trip. Doing so would have been the worst thing ever because everyone who’s anyone is going to be there.

I’d already delayed my flight and interrupted my travel so that I could run a few errands at the office. And see her. Not turning up for the whole event would have been frowned upon.

This trip is the company’s quarterly review, where we meet with the four other branches of Bortsov Tech and go over everything for the next quarter. This meeting is more important than ever because they’ve all been informed that I will be taking over from my father in the weeks to come.

I can’t be absent because all I can think of is fucking Gabriella De Costa.

I smile to myself when I remember how jealous of Estelle she looked. I didn’t tell her that Estelle is like a sister to me and there was nothing to be jealous of because I was being a bastard. I liked her jealousy and watching an emotion other than fear play out on her beautiful face.

As I kissed her I realized that my fascination with her wasn’t just about her wild determination. It was all abouther.Everything about her.

Her beauty, her scent, her hopes, her dreams, her fears. She’s still scared of me. Still keeping those walls up between us that I now want to smash in with a sledgehammer.

Every time I get close to her I learn something more. Tonight it was that she wants me, too. She doesn’t want to want me, but she does.

You can’t help who you have feelings for. That phenomenon would certainly explain why a sweet girl like her, who wants tobecome a doctor to save people’s lives, would want a despicable devil like me. A man who takes lives.

The Beast.

Gabriella saw her cousin today. I’m aware that Cora is more used to men like me so I have no doubts she’s the one who clued Gabriella in on me. It definitely wasn’t her father.

I don’t know what she was told but I know it was all very frightening. And whatever it is, it’s all true.

I had to become a monster to be my father’s son. So the beauty has him to thank. He made the Beast.

Jesus, I’m not gonna be able to get this girl out of my head anytime soon.

I rest my head on the back of the leather seat and stare out at the dark clouds. I already know this trip is going to be harder than usual, because I can’t wait to get back home to see her.

I arrive at the lake house my family owns in Bodega Bay at ten the next morning. This is the gathering spot for us when we have meetings in San Francisco.

My two uncles and cousins are staying here along with Eric. They got here last night.
