Ruby Tears - Page 171

You’re tired and not thinking straight.

You don’t want him.

Those bubbles in your chest aren’t…feelings.

Oh God, don’t.

I clenched my teeth and begged my mind to quieten.

My twice-denied orgasm lived in my teeth and nerve-endings.

Shame came again, followed by misery.

Fear for Krish.

Horror for me.

Worry for the jewels.

It all percolated and blended until I didn’t recognise myself.

The longer I sat on Henri’s bed, the more my insides erupted with anger.

Righteous anger that flamed quickly with hate.

My hands balled as the last twenty-four hours flickered past.

Yesterday, I’d been free.

My biggest concern was breaking up with a silly little boy, and today, I was at the mercy of a darkly tangled man.

I’d agreed to play along with Henri, but nothing could hide the fact that he was the reason I was here.

Without him, I’d be back in England.

If he’d never noticed me and I’d never noticed him, I would never have been dragged into this mess. Never have his cum inside me. Never have to obey his every command so I wasn’t raped by a hundred others.

Rage funnelled hotter.

Fury I hadn’t even acknowledged unfurled in a gust of ferocity.

Sitting alone in an inescapable castle with unsatisfied lust and a betraying heart, my thoughts turned toxic.

Damn him.

Damn them.

Damn everything.

I wanted to scratch and scream and kill.

I wanted to cry and beg and run.

For the first time since I’d been brought here, I had a moment to sit in my thoughts and they pounced on me.

Screeched at me.

Scolded and sliced at me.
