“I don’t live here,” I say as the car pulls up to the house I used to share with him.
Cassian lifts a brow at me. We pull into the garage, and he
dismisses the driver. “That’s strange, because I’m pretty sure it’s still your legal residence.”
“Not for long. I haven’t lived here for weeks. Cassian, take me home!”
“You are home,” he growls. “Where you belong.”
Zephyr flashes in his eyes, and the possessiveness in his voice makes me shiver.
“I’m not getting out of this car.‘
“Then neither will I,” he says.
We both sit in the back seat. Minutes pass. Then Cassian says, “On second thought, I’m tired. We’re going in.”
He gets out. Before I realize what he’s doing, he yanks open
my door and pulls me into his arms, then throws me over his shoulder!

“Cassian!” I shriek. “You bastard! Put me down!”

He ignores me, and there’s no fighting his incredible strength. He carries me into the house and up the stairs.
I hear servants calling out, but Cassian assures them all that it’s fine.
He takes me straight to the bedroom.
Not mine. His.
When we get there, he tosses me on the bed. Then he calls out for a servant to bring some food and my pajamas from my old
room.
I jump up in a flash and try to run past him. “I’m not staying here!”
He catches me and dumps me back onto the bed. Fear trickles through me as he looms over me, and I pull back from him.
“Cassian, what are you going to do?”
He looks confused at the fear in my voice, then shocked, then disgusted. He leans down over me, pinning me in with his hands on either side of my body. “If I want a woman, Gemma, I have plenty that are willing. I am not going to force you. I never would.”

My heart is still beating a thousand miles a minute. “Then let me leave.”
He backs off from the bed. “You used to beg to sleep in here with
me.”
“Yeah, well, I’m not that pathetic anymore.”
I get up and move for the door again. This time, he catches my wrist and pulls me back, but he doesn’t toss me on the bed. He pulls me against his body and leans his forehead against mine.
To my shock he says in a rough voice, “I don’t want you to go.”
The feeling of him against me is almost too much to take. Every inch of his body that presses against mine feels electrified.
“Why not?” I ask in a breathless voice. The words feel like the last things I have to defend myself. “What is going on with you? You’ve never wanted me, never protected me, but all of a sudden here you are doing both.”
His wolf glows in his eyes. “I’ve been reconsidering things lately. I should have reconsidered them a long time ago.”
He nuzzles my skin, and I can’t help it. Desire courses through me. My head falls back, exposing my neck, inviting him to touch me, to devour me. I want his lips there, I want his teeth and his tongue.

No! I don’t want him. I can’t afford to want him…

I pull away and move to the door, but Cassian follows and spins me around again. He pins me against the wall with my wrists above my head and presses his hips into mine.
He wants me. I can feel his erection against my stomach.
“Gemma,” he says in that same rough voice, “Don’t go.”
And even though it’s a command, it’s not the same as before. He sounds like he’s going to die if I walk out that door…but if I really, really want to, I don’t think he’ll stop me.
“Why?” I’m practically begging him. But for what…I don’t even know.
I want him to tell me he’ll die without me. I want him to let me go forever and sign the divorce papers. I want him to lift me up and throw me in that bed again.
There are so many emotions swirling around in my head, I feel like I’m going to explode.
“You have other women…” I say.
“No. I don’t.”
“You just said you could have any woman you wanted.”

“If I wanted. Which I don’t. Gemma, I haven’t touched another woman since I married you. Not one.”
It has to be a lie. I know he’s slept with Reyna. I know it…don’t
I?
“Since I had you, I can’t stop thinking about you. It’s been weeks, and I’ll I want to do is touch you again. All I want to do is bury myself inside you and hear you whisper my name.”
He pulls back and looks at me. His eyes are so dark blue they look black.
He runs his thumb softly over my lips.
“Gemma Blackwell. Wife. Will you stay with me tonight?”
