as much fun that way.”

Her face immediately drained of all color.

“Now shut up and eat.”

She still didn’t move for the food, probably wanting to wait until I was out of the room.

“So, do you have any questions?” She still didn’t know why she was here, on the other side of the world and away from the life she once knew. I wanted her to know that her brother was responsible for her demise, that if she blamed anyone, it should be him.

“Nope.”

Her stubbornness baffled me. It was worse than mine. “I guess you don’t want that shower then?”

“I’ll pass.” She looked to the left side of the room, ignoring me like I wasn’t even there.

I didn’t expect it to take this long to get her to cooperate. I expected her to be somewhat scared after the initial shock wore off. But this woman was too courageous, too proud to give in to the fear.

So I’d have to make her give in to the fear.

Swiftly and silently, I unlocked the door and crept into her cell. The lights were off, and she lay in the small cot, the air freezing. I leaned over her, prepared to grab her by the neck.

But she must have heard me because she struck first. She threw her hand upward, aiming right for my eyes.

I was annoyed that she was so in tune with her surroundings. She didn’t trust her environment, not even for a second. For a woman in medical school, she had the reflexes of an assassin.

But I easily overpowered her, pinning her hand down along with the rest of her body. I forced my weight on top of her, keeping her against the hard cot and immobilizing her. I stared her down and watched her twist and turn underneath me, doing whatever she could to get free.

But nothing worked.

She eventually gave up her struggle when I didn’t move an inch. Like a mountain, she couldn’t move me with only sheer determination. Her hands finally went limp, and she stared at me with defeat in her eyes, not fear. “Let go of me.”

My voice came out as a whisper. “Make me.”

Fire glowed in her eyes, and she tried to throw me off with her hips.

But it was pointless.

She tried pushing me off her body with her legs, but that didn’t work either. She hissed between her teeth, sweaty and out of breath from the pointless exertion. She was too small and weak to overpower someone like me.

However, I did enjoy watching the fight. “You can’t beat me. Stop trying.”

“I’ll never stop trying,” she said through her heavy breathing. “One day, your guard is going to be down, and I’m going to hit you where it hurts.”

I separated her thighs with my knees, positioning her underneath me with a hint of sexual violence.

She stiffened, the terror finally entering her face. It was the first time she showed an ounce of fear. It was a trigger I suspected I could hit. I would use her body to make her feel dirty, defiled. “Don’t…” It was the first plea, the first beg.

The ball was back in my court, and I felt a surge of adrenaline. I pressed my face closer to hers, feeling her breath fall on my lips. “You don’t want me to fuck you? I promise, you’ll like it.”

She stared into my eyes, all her courage and strength completely gone.

I had the upper hand, the power. And I would use that to my full advantage. “If you don’t want me to, say please.”

Her lips parted, but the word didn’t escape. Her hesitance stemmed from stubbornness, not true desire. She didn’t like giving in to me, following any kind of command. She knew that would give me the small amount of power she possessed.

My hand moved to the top of my jeans, and I undid the button.

“Please.” She spit out the word quickly, squirming underneath me.

“Please, what?”

“Please don’t do it…” She couldn’t say the R word, the terrifying word every woman never wanted to say.

I exerted my dominance, my control—and that was all I wanted. I got off her and stood on my feet. “You’re coming with me. Now.”

“Where?” She immediately crawled into the corner of the cot like a frightened animal. She pulled her knees to her chest, trying to hide behind them.

I stood over the cot, piercing her with my terrifying gaze. “Get your ass up now.” I grabbed her by the ankle and yanked her off the bed until her back hit the
