She sucked in a breath but didn’t say anything. She was trying to push away the visual of him on top of her and couldn’t seem to. God, would she last even a few days, or would she lose the bet? And maybe, just maybe, she really did want to lose because she wanted him to dominate her.

She still had to overcome her insecurities, but she hoped with time, being with him would be easier.

Sara would take it hour by hour. That’s all she could do.

Chapter Thirteen

Ethan pulled her into the dining room, where several of the family were already eating breakfast. He saw Alastair and Beth and headed that way.

Beth stood and hugged Sara and then sat down, pulling her down in the chair next to her. Ethan sat and grabbed a pitcher of coffee.

“Do you want some coffee, Sara?” he asked.

“Yes, please.”

He also put some fruit and Danish on a plate and set it in front of her. “Eat.”

Sara frowned at him, Beth giggled, and Alastair snorted.

“Hey, cousin. I’m going to take her home this morning. She is healed enough, and I want her to get used to her new house.”

Alastair nodded. “I understand. Call if you need anything.”

“Wait,” Beth said. “When will we get to see her again?”

“Soon. It might be days or a week or two. It depends on how much work I have, and we need to get things for her.”

“We gave her several things,” Beth said.

“Yes, I know, and I thank you, but I want her to wear the things I give her.”

Beth rolled her eyes. “You sound so much like someone else I know.”

Alastair growled and pulled Beth onto his lap. Ethan saw him whispering to her, and whatever he said made her laugh and blush.

Ethan pointed at Sara’s plate. “Eat, baby.”

She started nibbling on it while she talked to Beth. Alastair finally relinquished Beth to sit in her own seat.

When he felt like she’d eaten enough, he set his plate aside. “Let’s go.”

Beth and Sara stood and hugged. The other girls weren’t down there, thank God, or he guessed it would take a long time to get out of the house.

“Goodbye, Martin,” Ethan said.

“We hope to see you soon, sir.”

“We’ll be back. Sara wants to spend time with my cousins.”

“They are a fun group of girls.”

Ethan rolled his eyes. “That’s one way to describe them.”

Martin chuckled and held the door open for him. “You have a car waiting for you.”

“Good. I want her guarded and kept safe.”

“There’s no place safer than with one of you boys,” Martin said.
