And maybe he does.

Maybe he’s known all along.

“I never wanted to marry Bane.”

Ledger doesn’t say a word, just keeps running the loofah over my chest and stomach.

I shake my head. “I’ve gotten myself into a terrible mess, and I don’t see any way out of it,” I tell him, my lower lip shaking with fear.

“Start at the beginning,” he says.

“My mother hauled ass when I was young, and my father was all I had. He stepped up where most men would have just crumbled instead. He tried to raise me best he could, but he was always so broke. We were always so poor. He started gambling and before I knew it, he had worked up quite the debt.”

“To Bane?” Ledger asks, obviously seeing where this story is going.

I nod. “Yes,” I whisper. “To Bane.”

Ledger blows out an audible breath. “So, you’re marrying Bane to pay off your father’s debt?”

I nod again. “Yeah.”

“I can pay it off,” he says, and I want to turn around and kiss this man.

I do.

I place my hand on his arm. “I know Bane won’t go for that. I humiliated him today. He told me he no longer cares about the debt.”

Ledger kisses the back of my neck. “I know. It was worth a try.”

I want to tell him how much I love him for trying. “Today, I realized I couldn’t do it. Father Carmichael helped us. My father’s hiding at the church. And as I was leaving, I overheard Bane speaking to somebody in his office.” I spin around to look Ledger in the eyes. “He plans on selling me to pay off his own debt. He said he’d get top dollar for a virgin.”

Ledger’s eyes grow wild. “Fucking asshole. I’ll never let him get away with that.”

I kiss his lips. “Maybe you could offer to buy me,” I say, knowing it would never work.

“I’d do it in a heartbeat if I thought Bane would ever go for it.”

I shake my head, tears racing down my cheeks. “I just don’t know what to do.”

Ledger wraps his arms around me. “We’ll think of something. You know Bane will be searching for your father, and you. It won’t take long before he finds you both.”

I straddle Ledger’s lap. “I know.” I kiss his soft lips once more. “Ledger, I’m scared.”

He wraps me into his arms, his body growing hard beneath me. “I won’t let anyone hurt your father, or you.”

Chapter 23

Ledger

I stare into the soft-blue eyes of Posey Dixon, the woman I’ve completely fallen in love with.

I know I haven’t known her long, but who says there needs to be a time limit on love?

I say, fuck that.

I think I fell in love with Posey the minute I met her. The moment the need to protect her surged through me with an intensity I had never felt before.

I meant what I said, I won’t let Bane hurt her. I knew there had to be more to the story of why she was marrying him.

Posey is too good. Too pure.

I kiss her, holding her body against me as my dick comes to life. Thoughts swirl through my mind as I bring her closer, letting my teeth sink into the soft flesh of her shoulder.

She stares at me. “Take all my troubles away. Tell me we’ll deal with everything after I feel you inside me once more.”

“I’ll deal with everything,” I say, bringing her tits closer to my face.

She stops me, cupping my cheeks with both hands, moving my face so she can stare into my eyes. “Don’t shut me out. I need to help you deal with everything. I need to be involved.”

I hate this idea. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“If something were to happen to you, I’d never be able to recover from that pain.”

I smooth back her hair. “Nothing’s going to happen to me.”

She rocks her body against mine. “Promise me,” she whispers.

I can’t make this promise. Sure, I could easily tell her I promise, but I don’t know if I’d be able to keep it or not. So, instead of making her the promise, I kiss her. I kiss her with everything I’ve got.

Everything I have.

I kiss her like the whole world is burning down around me. I kiss her like she’s the oxygen I need to survive.

She grips onto me like I’m her anchor. She moans into the kiss, and I reposition her body, placing the head of my cock at her entrance. I sink her down onto me, groaning as she takes me inch by inch.

“Fuck, you feel so damn good,” I hiss out.

She places her hands on my shoulders as she rocks against me, causing the water to splash onto the floor.

I don’t give a fuck, because this feels too good. Too magical.

“Nothing’s going to happen to me,” I tell her, staring into her soft-blue eyes.
