my eyes or
look away because I was scared that he’d sense how much I hated him if I did.
More than that, I was afraid that if I didn’t focus on him, my mind would
realize what I was actually doing and my body would rebel. I whispered, “Hold
me, Dom? Please? I haven’t felt your arms around me in so long, and I’ve missed
them.”
    Dominic
ignored my plea and continued caressing my skin. There was something about his
touch that frightened me, and I wasn’t sure if it was because of the past or
the present. Either way, my mind was spinning as I watched him.
    Please wake up, Brian. Please. Please. Please.
    Dominic lay down next to me and continued stroking my skin as
he slid his other arm under my neck. He still had the gun in his hand, but at
least it wasn’t aimed at anyone. He looked down at me as he raised his free
hand and brushed the hair away from my face.
    “You
really should make an attempt to keep your hair out of your face, Kitten,” he
scolded. “Your face is too pretty to be hidden.”
    I
nodded and forced a smile as I said, “I will do that from now on, Dom. I
promise.”
    “Ava,
don’t you wonder why I went to all the trouble to get you back?” he asked in a
tone that made my blood run cold in my veins. I knew that he had a plan, I just
didn’t know what that plan was or why he was doing what he was doing.
    “I
thought it was because you loved me and you wanted me back,” I replied as
innocently as possible.
    “Oh
my goodness,” he laughed as he grabbed one of my breasts and squeezed so
tightly that I gasped. “Aren’t you absolutely darling! Naive, but darling.”
    “Then
why are you doing this, Dom?” I asked in a trembling voice.
    “Because
you humiliated me and I want that rectified,” he said in a matter-of-fact tone.
“You left me and you told lies about me and everyone thinks I’m a monster, and
now I’m going to prove that I’m not only not a monster, but that you and I were
actually meant to be together.”
    There
was no way to hide the terror in my eyes now. He saw it and it made him
stronger. The only possible way out now was to fight, and I was well aware that
this choice might end badly for me—and the others—but it was my only choice
left.
    “What…what
do you want me to do?” I asked.
    “You
and I are going to take care of these problems together, and then we are going
to go tell our story to the police,” he explained. “Your father hired a craze
body guard who held you hostage and abused you. I tried to rescue you from him,
but he’d brain washed you and convinced you that I was the enemy based on false
evidence and lies.”
    I
stared at Dominic wondering what had to happen in a person’s brain to make them
believe the lies they told. He was living in a fantasy world of his own making
and he had no intention of recognizing reality. All I could do was nod and
listen to his grand plan for us.
    “It
took me a long time to track you down because he was very adept at hiding, but
when I received a cryptic email from you inviting me to come talk, I knew you
were trying to let me know your whereabouts. I came to the hotel, enlisted the
help of the room server, and broke in just as Brian was about to allow Cheese
to have his way with you.”
    “What
on earth?” I was truly perplexed by this.
    “You
thought I didn’t know?” he smiled. “Cheese got kicked out of the Fijis because
of your little friend’s antics at the party. He wanted to get even with you for
that humiliation and to have a little fun while he was at it, so your bodyguard
agreed to give him what he wanted in exchange for a little cash.”
    “You
are twisted,” I couldn’t hide my disgust any longer and it seemed useless to
even try. Dominic had planned everything and wasn’t going to deviate from his
plan. Now all I could do was fight back.
    “Ah,
the kitten has claws!” he laughed as he forced his hand between my legs and
grabbed my crotch so hard I screamed. “I knew they’d show
