convince me otherwise.

“What are we doing?” I make myself push up from his chest. If I don’t, I’m going to pass back out. He is entirely too comfortable. Why does my body have to want him so much?

“I’m going to take you to dinner. You haven't eaten much.” My plate of nachos sits untouched still next to the cabana. I’m sure Nick is off hiding somewhere from Victor. Good luck with that. If he wants to find you, he will. Still, it gives me a thrill that when I run, Victor chases. I like that I can draw that wolf out of him.

“I’ll need to change.” I sigh, looking down at my bathing suit that I really didn't use today.

“I won’t have to throw you over my shoulder and demand you eat?” he teases me.

“Not when it comes to food.” I crawl off his lap to stand. He grabs his suit jacket, shaking the sand out of it before draping it over me like a robe.

“You’re ridiculous. No one is trying to look at me.” I step around him to head back to my room. He reaches down, snagging my bag that I almost forgot and my phone, tossing it inside. I am always a mess around him. No wonder I signed something without noticing it.

“Everyone looks at you. Even when you try and put up that icy wall. You’re unmissable.” He wraps an arm around me, guiding me to where we’re going.

“My room is that way.” I point, knowing he’s not going to let me go.

“I had your things moved.”

Of course he did.

“You’re very controlling.” I step onto the elevator with him. He hits the button for the top floor as he slides his key over the censor.

“You like it.”

I look down at my fingers that I have tangled together. “No, I don’t,” I mumble while his words bounce around in my head. My parents were controlling and overbearing. To the point that my sister and I had to leave when we turned eighteen. It has been her and me since then. We are twins but I have always been the more responsible one of the two of us. She looks at the world with rose-colored glasses. It is one of the things I love about my sister and wish I had some of myself. It is something my boss needs in his life. Maybe that would help him finally get that stick out of his ass.

“You do.”

I peek up at Victor. When our parents realized they couldn’t control us anymore they wanted nothing to do with us. It was their way or the highway. Would Victor be the same? If I don’t turn into what he wants would he be gone soon, too?

I push and he only pushes back. I run and he chases.

“Relax, wife. I only want to take care of you.” He leans down, brushing his mouth against the top of my head. I close my eyes, enjoying his touch. His words are soothing. I like them more than I should. I can’t remember the last time someone took care of me.

Maybe this is what I need. Could I have a taste of Victor and sate the need inside of both of us? My eyes open to look into his. His eyes are always watching me. What if I give him what he wants and then he decides to stop chasing me? Would I be able to let him go once I got a piece of him? The thought of me not having control over this leaves me feeling unsettled. It’s something I’ve always made sure I had when it came to my life and Victor is making me question everything.

Isn’t that what I want? I swallow, not sure what I want. I can never think straight when he’s near. My mind is tempting me to play with the wolf. At least for a little while. I know the pleasure he could give me.

“I’ll get ready.” The door of the elevator slides open into the penthouse of the hotel resort. I turn and lift my shoulders to let his coat fall. It doesn't hit the floor. He catches it before it does as I step off the elevator. I don’t have to look over my shoulder to know he’s watching me as I walk down the hallway to get ready. I sway my hips a little more, knowing I have his attention.

He’s always watching. It’s in his nature. Unable to help myself, I peek over my
