Entwined Fates: Dominating Miya Read Online Free Page B

place like that, anyway?”
    “Don’t start with the whole what’s-a-girl-like-you nonsense. I know the band that is scheduled to perform, and I promised them I would be there. So we’re going.”
    Alex didn’t answer her. He didn’t trust himself to, so he did what he’d done most of the last couple of hours…silently count to ten. If she were a sub, he would’ve already put her over his knee. But she wasn’t. He needed to remember that, keep his hands to himself and his Dom temper in check.
    He pulled out his communicator and called his assistant. “Johnson, I need you to bring me some clothes.”
    Miya’s jaw dropped.
    “Clothes, sir?” his assistant asked.
    “Yes, I’m going to be staying with Miya Marcone until her family returns,” Alex answered as he watched Miya’s cheeks turn red. “Bring them to apartment 4053 at the Beechor Tower.”
    “Anything in particular?” Johnson asked.
    “No, just casual stuff is fine. And bring the tablet I left on my desk this morning.”
    “Yes, sir.”
    Alex closed the communicator and waited for Miya’s blow up. He didn’t have to wait long.
    “You can’t stay here! I only have the one bed, and the couch is too small.”
    Alex glanced over at the red couch. It really was too small, but Miya couldn’t sleep out here, and he damn sure couldn’t sleep in the bed with her. Talk about playing with fire.
    “I’ll be fine, Miya. I’m staying.”

Chapter Five
    Miya wasn’t sure whether to be happy or angry. Alex was just moving in, not giving her a choice, claiming she couldn’t go anywhere without him. Talk about bossy.
    “I’m not your submissive, Alex. You can’t just move in here and boss me around like some troglodyte.”
    Alex stood and leaned his palms on the counter. Bending forward slightly, he brought his angry glare in line with hers. “What’s the real problem here? I know you’re smart enough to realize just how much danger you’re in, so stop fighting me on this before I show you just how much of a Dom I can be.”
    Please do were the only two words Miya could think to say. So instead, she said nothing. There was no point fighting. He was as stubborn and headstrong as her father, and fighting him never got her anywhere. But fighting Alex had a much different effect on her body than fighting her father ever did. If only they could go beyond fighting. Doing this with Alex made her think of hot, sweaty sex. Hell, doing anything with Alex made her think of that.
    “What’s going on, Miya?” Alex growled. “The truth.”
    Miya sighed and stepped back to lean her hip against the counter behind her. Crossing her arms over her chest, she pursed her lips and tried to think of what to say. “I know I’m in danger. I do, but do you have any idea what it’s like living as a female Marcone?”
    Alex didn’t say anything, just watched her with those heavenly eyes of his.
    “I thought life was bad when I lived at home. I had no idea the prison I would live in once I started singing for the opera. My father doesn’t have to hire security for me, because there’re so many cameras hanging around.”
    “Miya—”
    “Oh, shut up,” she snapped. “If my father or even my brothers find out just how serious this is, they’ll lock me up.”
    “They will not,” Alex said in exasperation.
    “My brothers would, and you know it. I love singing, Alex. I don’t want this to take that away from me, and I guarantee the second my family finds out about this, my life with the opera is over. I may be able to convince my dad to let me stay, but Hayden and Chris? No way.”
    Alex sighed but didn’t verbally disagree. When it came to her brothers, they could be incredibly stubborn and overprotective. Alex walked over and touched her cheek lightly with his fingers. Understanding shone in his eyes, but it was the flash of heat that made her stomach flutter.
    She held her breath, waiting. She wanted him to kiss her so badly. She licked her lips,
