Loud whistles and catcalls wash over me, and I steel myself against wanting to run.
😭😭😭😭
“Great. Take this to table thirteen.” He pushes the tray toward me. “It’s the one in the very corner of the room.”
i have a feeling that bennett would be at this bar 😭 i hope not, OR DO I HOPE SO? lolll
He rakes his gaze over my body, making me inwardly grimace. I soothe myself by thinking that I’ll get used to this in time. The lie doesn’t help.
😭
“Being scared isn’t exactly a no.”
ew 😭😭😭
Just as I’m about to turn around, Grady reaches out to grab a lock of my hair. I go still, like a wild animal caught in a trap.
FUCK??!
“It’s softer than I expected.” “Please let g—” My plea is caught in my throat as a dark figure appears at Grady’s side, instantly commanding my attention.
OH MY GOODNESSSS
“Stay seated,” Bennett says, his voice danger in auditory form. “This doesn’t involve you. Only this man since he foolishly touched what doesn’t belong to him.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Grady shouts.
Bennett jerks his chin in my direction. His eyes are bright in the dim lighting, the fierce emotions ...

WOHOAHHH 😩😩😩😭🎀
A loud snap, followed by a scream of pain, arrests my attention.
His thumb dangles from his hand, not completely removed… but it’s close.
FUCKKK??
Bennett looms over the man like an executioner, his face a complete mask. Except for the flash of emotion in his eyes.
The attorney swivels his foot, grinding into the man’s hand until the first streak of crimson appears. Even in the dimly lit room, the brightness of the hue is discernible.
oh. 😶😶😶
Bennett crouches, bringing his face close to Grady’s and whispers, “Apologize to Miss Green for putting your filthy hands on her. Then apologize to me for touching what’s mine.”
DUDE 😭😭😩 i shouldn’t like this…
The warmth from his body still lingers on the material when it brushes against my skin. It’s evidence he’s human, but I’m having a hard time believing that.
His touch ignites my blood. It’s nothing more than a simple brush of his fingers along the curve of my cheek before his hand settles at my lower back, but it has fire dancing across my skin.
How can I be drawn to a man I dislike? Because it’s the same man who rescued me. Not once, but twice.
Yet it’s aloof and untouchable, an elusive fantasy to most. Just like the man beside me.
“I appreciate what you did for me, but I need to go back inside.”
“No, you don’t.”
oh really? she doesn’t? 😏
“You no longer work there, Miss Green. And you never would’ve if my instructions had been carried out.”
Bennett destroys my thoughts, scattering them to the wind with nothing more than a single glance.
“You don’t understand how much I need this job.”
Bennett yanks me to him. I collide with his chest, my feet losing purchase as I stumble in heels. He’s quick to wrap an arm around my waist and keep me upright while bringing me closer.
His grip on my chin has me blinking up at him as he lifts my head, forcin...

“You need me. Not this fucking job or anything else,” he says. “Now, get in the car before I carry you.”
🙂↕️🎀🎀
“Please, just wait a second. I need to think.”
“I’ve already thought about it. In fact, I’ve thought...

He grabs my hips, his fingers digging into the material of my skirt. Right before he tosses me over his shoulder. After securing his hold on the back of my thighs, he walks to the car.
I’ve never been manhandled in my entire life, but from the way my heart pounds and my blood races through my veins, I suspect I’m not as opposed to it as I should be.
LOL 😂😂😂🎀
“Don’t try to run,” he says, staring into my eyes. “I can see you want to, but don’t.” “Why?” “I will always chase you.”
ohh-hoahhh 😭😭
“Stop looking at me like that.” I flick my gaze to his. “What?” “Stop looking at me like you want my hands on your body.”
WOOOO 😭😩😩💦🎀
He inhales as if to keep a hold on himself, his knuckles turning white as he grips the steering wheel. “If I touch you, I won’t ever stop.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “I’m talking about sexual attraction, Miss Green.” “You’re mistaken, Mr. Bennett.”
😭
“If I’m looking at you in any specific way, it’s because you’re scaring me.”
“Fear is healthy. It keeps you from hurting yourself.” He pauses, his gaze far away, distant. “But it doesn’t stop ...

“Do you want to hurt me?” “Sometimes.” His answer, immediate and honest, steals my breath.
ooh. 😭
“Why?” I ask, my whisper barely there. “What did I ever do to you?”
“You’ve ruined me, Miss Green.”
“Calista. If you’re going to say such things, at l...

“I agree, Callie.”
I sneak a glance at him. “No one’s ever called me that.” “And no one else ever will.”
OOHH-HOOO 😭😩😩
I ignore the way my heart stutters in my chest and the way my breathing goes shallow.
I focus on the man who’s taken me captive, both physically and mentally. There hasn’t been a day that I haven’t thought of Mr....

if I let Bennett see how dire my life truly is, maybe he’ll be disgusted. And leave me alone.
I never asked him to interfere, to wreak havoc with my thoughts and to awaken my body.
