"Or what, King?Huh?"she snaps, holding her arms out to the side and flashing me a defiant look. "What the hell are you gunna do about it? You're already holding me against my will! Are you going to hit me next? Huh?" Her eyes narrow. "I'll kill you in your sleep before I ever let you get away with putting your hands on me in violence."

"Oh but you'll let mefuckyou, right sweetheart?" I lick my lips, letting my eyes roam down her body, seeing her nipples harden. "Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't enjoy, want, or love what happened between us last night."

She shifts her eyes away, putting an arm across her torso and biting her lip. Though she's vulnerable, she did love it, just like I did. I take my in and attempt to maneuver around her emotions, softening my stance as well as my voice, letting her know I'm not a threat to her.

"I'll fuck you like that every night if you want, however long you can stand it. I'll give you whatever you want, baby. Whatever your heart desires."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Good. Then I want to leave."

My brow raises. "Except that, obviously."

Her eyes flit back to mine before narrowing."You can't make someone marry you."And with that she moves fast, stomping past me, exiting her room and into our bedroom where she enters the hallway and banks a left to the stairs.

Following her, I keep a respectful distance and try not to stay too close. I don't want Izzy to feel unduly threatened, or hounded.

She'll learn.

Isobel flies down the stairs and then heads to the front door where she proceeds to try and open it, grunting in frustration when the handle stays unmoving. Xavier appears out of nowhere while she's tugging and yanking atthe door.

She continues on, making these grunting noises that's doing much to enflame my desire even further. Right when she turns, grabbing a vase off a side table to throw it at a window, Xavier snatches her arm and twists it behind her back, causing her to cry out.

I tilt my head, making sure he's not hurting her.

Before bringing her here I gave my team strict instructions how to handle Isobel, including what is absolutely not acceptable for them to do regarding restraining her. And they know what will happen if they go against my rules. I don't care what the circumstances are. I was so serious that I wrote them a new contract outlining my expectations and made them sign it.

Seeing she's struggling against him, I walk up to her slowly.

"Turn her to me, Xavier." As he complies, I pin her with a look as she brings furious eyes to mine. "You are welcome to explore and touch whatever you want." I put my hand against her cheek and caress her gently before clutching her jaw and squeezing, causing her cheeks to bunch up and her lips to plump together. Looking deep in her eyes I speak in a clipped tone. "But you won't do here what you did to Christopher's apartment. Conduct yourself better. You are not allowed tofuck up our house, Isobel."

"This is not my house,"she shouts. Irate, her eyes stare back at me and I feel that fire that draws me to her begin to burn me.

"Ughhh…"I grit out and hunch forward on a growl as a sickening sharp pain explodes across my groin, clutching my dick with one hand as she kicks out her foot and nails me straight in the nut sack.

Thankfully, Xavier felt it coming, because he'd pulled her back enough for her to not maim me, but she got me good enough for me to break out into a hot sweat.

Meeting her eyes, I straighten and breathe hard through my nose, letting out a little groan. "Ohhhh you littletwat.I can't wait to payyou back for that." I roll my neck, willing the nausea down. "Xavier, see Ms. Brookes to her bedroom, send her breakfast up to her and stay in there with her so she doesn't break anything or hurt herself."

Isobel pales. "You just said that room wasn't for me to be locked into!" Her eyes go wide as she looks at me in a panic."King!"

Ignoring her, I turn my back and make my way down the hallway. "Things change right quick when you start kicking me in the balls," I call out, still cradling my dick in my hand.Fuck.

"King,no!"

I leave her yelling after me while I go to my zen room, promising myself an extra hour to help calm myself down. As much as I didn't want to lock her up anywhere, she gave me no choice. She's too hot headed for her own good, and as much as a turn on that her feisty attitude is, she's going to have to learn to understand that there are things she's not going to be able to get away with.

And unfortunately this is her first lesson.

I walk into my massive gym with a custom floating bamboo floor and start the music, setting a playlist that will have me going for about two hours. There's nothing like some good tai chi to re-center the soul. I need it after the way she screamed as I was walking away from her.

It's killing me, because she was supposed to be screaming a different way this morning.

As I move smoothly through my routine, I begin to contemplate how to tame this vixen of mine. But until then, I focus on extending my patience and taming my own temper, contemplating on how to make this woman fall in love with me.

Because I don't want to be the only one in love.
