When he bent his head to kiss her, she squirmed.
I like to kiss, Ryder said. You re going to have to get used to it.
I don t want you to kiss me. I just want you to take me.
We ll play your game another time. I d like our first time to be more
memorable. I m planning on having a future with you. We ve lots of time
for sex games.
There is no future with me, she whispered.
Oh, believe me, honey, there s a future. For all your protests, you want
me pretty bad. I ve never seen a woman get so hot so fast.
It doesn t matter what I want, Arleigh murmured. His lips tried to find
hers again, but she twisted in his arms. Don t make it harder for me. I ve

no way to stop you and no way to change things. If you want me, take me.
Don t make me want you. Don t make me miss you.
A choked sob tore from her, and she clenched her fists, her body stiff
against his. He would have to pry her thighs apart with a crowbar. He would
have laughed if the situation hadn t gone from bad to worse. Tears streamed
down her face, and it broke his heart.
I m not just taking you, Arleigh. I m not a rapist.
No one will see it as rape.
You will. That s not how I want to begin our life together. Nothing is
going to happen between us without your consent. I want to fuck you, but it
isn t enough.
There will ne er be more, Master Kendall, Arleigh whispered. Tears
pooled in her eyes and slid down her cheek. If you want me, take me, but
there s a price to be paid.
I m sure you re worth any price, Ryder said softly. He gathered her
chemise and pulled it up over her shoulder. His hand followed the curve of
her arm down to her hand, and he twined his fingers around hers. I m not
going to lie. I want you. I ve wanted nothing else since you materialized in
the middle of my front yard.
A small moan tore from her lips, and her body trembled under his
hands.
I want to lick every inch of your flesh and kiss that mouth of yours
until you can t breathe. I want to slide into your pussy and fuck you until
neither of us can move.
Her body swayed against his, and her voice exploded in a violent
whisper. Oh, God, don t talk like that.
He pressed his mouth against hers. It s going to be damn good between
us, Arleigh, but I m not going to take you against your will. I can wait till
you re ready. Till you want it, too.
She stiffened, and her stare snapped with a sudden viciousness. Can
you wait til the end of time, Master Kendall?
The little fairy princess had a royal bitch inside. Oh, I can pretty much
guarantee you re going to beg for it before that, Ryder snarled. You don t
need to be so surly. We re trapped in this house together, and I think we
should try to get along.

We ll get along fine if you leave me alone and keep your hands to
yourself. Getting along does not give you a license to touch me.
Ryder stared at her hard. The anger that roared through his body
surprised him, but the words that shot from his mouth shocked him.
I don t believe I need a license to touch you, Arleigh. I think that pretty
much comes with my ownership. You ve conveniently pointed out no one
will see it as rape.
Arleigh s eyes widened. Her little nasty streak suddenly took a different
turn, and her fear resurfaced. Too bad. She should have kept her bitchiness
to herself.
I ve changed my mind, he said. I think I will take you tonight. With
or without your consent.
You can t change your mind!
I do it all the time. As your master, I ve decided to take advantage of
the fringe benefits. Take off that rag you re wearing.
A horrified look sparked in her eyes. He wondered what the hell was
wrong with him and how he could so blatantly frighten a young woman, but
he couldn t take his eyes off her. And he never stopped her.
Arleigh caught her lip between her teeth. Her eyes fluttered downward.
The sight of her sudden surrender made his heart stutter. When she began to
unlace the strings of her shift with shaking hands, he wondered how long he
would let her suffer. She shouldn t have been so bitchy. He had been going
to let her off the hook, but now, well, now he was pretty much going to
make her pay. He d let her go in a little while but enjoy her discomfort
while he had it. His dick rose in anticipation of the sight of her. He would
pay for it later.
She shrugged the shift off her shoulder, and her gaze darted to his.
Keep going, he said.
You ll die, she whispered.
We all die.
I mean tonight, she said.
Is that a threat, Arleigh? Planning to kill me in my sleep?
She shook her head. I won t need to. You ll just die.
I ll risk it. Take it off.
The shift slid downward and dropped to her hips. Ryder sucked in a
breath. One breast, pert with her youth, tight, the rosy nipple hard and
130 Amber Carlton
swollen, jutted toward him eagerly. The other breast was hidden by a veil of
hair. He swept it over her shoulder and took a step away. She wouldn t look
at him. He reached toward her, and she flinched when he hooked his finger
into the fabric at her hips. He counted to ten, prolonging her agony,
watching her face twitch in anticipation then gave a little tug. The chemise
fluttered to the floor. He was glad her eyes were closed. The sight of her
nearly overwhelmed him. She was the most breathtaking thing he d even
seen.
Christ, you re beautiful, he whispered.
She was a small woman, but the curves sweeping her body were
sensuous, pure female, gentle swells that enhanced the fragility of her tiny
body. The perfect globes of her breasts rose high and firm above a tight
abdomen and the contours of her hips. Her flesh held a girlish innocence
that had nothing to do with her youth. Her pale skin had a rosy tint, perfect,
not a blemish, not a scar. It amazed him to find such perfection, considering
the life she must have led. He silently thanked Stephen for taking such good
