Chapter 48
God damnit, he’s enjoying this.

Something in me snaps. I stand up straight. “Don’t you come any closer to me,” I hiss the words from between my teeth.
Kent laughs lightly, continuing to draw nearer. He likes this, I realize. Likes pinning me back in the corner. He’s already gotten everything he needs – my apology, my promise that I won’t do it again – and yet, he’s pushing…
“Why shouldn’t I, Fay,” Kent says softly, almost a whisper. “What are you going to do to me,” his eyes flick over me as he says it, “if I
take one. More. Step?”
He’s bearing down on me, his face again inches from mine. “Are you going to run again, Fay?” he asks, so softly only I can hear. “I’ll just catch you.”
My heartbeat ratchets up as I look up at him, at his powerful face,
the complete control in his eyes.
Then, I do the only thing I can think of.
I tilt my head back and scream.
Surprisingly, Kent flinches at this, taking a step back. I look back

at him as I run out of breath, my eyes wide, a pinch of joy lighting in me as I realize that I actually rattled him, just a little. Building on the effort, I throw my head back again, taking a deep breath, getting ready to let it all out when he grabs me –
“God damnit, Fay,” he growls, slapping a hand across my mouth and pulling me to him so that my left shoulder is crunched against his chest. “What do you think that is going to do!?”
But I look up at him with a little bit of victory in my eyes. He wouldn’t be shutting me up if he thought it wasn’t going to do anything. He’d let me scream myself hoarse if he didn’t care.
He gives me a little shake – nothing rough, just enough to try to teach me he’s in control – but I just laugh against his hand,
perhaps a little manic now —
The fear is still coursing through me, but along with it is something else – adrenaline, maybe –
God damnit, was he right? Was my body responding to something
in this, to the challenge, or the danger of it all?
“Fay, I’m going to let you go, but if you scream again, I swear –”
But just then, the door to my room swings open and my fiancé bursts into the room, panic and worry on his own face, his eyes
flying wide when he sees me wrapped in his father’s arms, his
hand over my mouth.

“What the hell is going on here?!” Daniel shouts, striding over to
- us.
Kent lets me go instantly and I gasp in fresh air, falling back. against the desk.
Daniel stops by the bed, his father between us. His eyes sweep
over me, ascertaining that I’m okay, before turning with anger to
his dad. “What were you doing to her?!”
Kent has regained his composure faster than I thought he would. Cooly, he slips his hands back into his pockets and gives Daniel a little smirk. “Nothing, Daniel. Everything is fine.”
