again.
    “ Your bath is
ready. Come on.” He ordered her to come to him.
    Emily yawned, rolled
over and got off the bed. She followed him through to the bathroom.
He lifted her in his arms and placed her gently into the water.
    The water felt good
against her skin.
    “ Why did you
come here?” he asked.
    She stared up at
him. “You never brought me here.”
    He shook his head.
“I come here to get away. When I was going to bring you, you’d
already walked away from me. I intended to bring you here for an
extended vacation. I’ve never participated in the auction
before. I don’t make a habit of buying women. Charles is a good
friend of mine.”
    Shrugging, she ran
her hands through the soapy bubbles. “I don’t know why I
came here. I think I wanted to escape what I’d done.”
    “ Escape what?”
    “ It was
getting harder for me being around you. I thought this resort could
kick my butt back into getting out there.”
    His eyes darkened as
he knelt. His hand disappeared into the soapy water. His fingers
caressed her thigh within seconds. His touch made her want him more.
    “ You were
going to allow another man to touch you? To put his hands on your
body?”
    She heard the anger
in his voice. The growl in his tone made her aware she was treading
on dangerous territory.
    Emily cupped his
face and forced him to look at her. “I don’t know what
I’d have done. I wasn’t thinking when I took the leaflet
and made the arrangements. I was miserable and I’d have done
anything to feel alive again.”
    He took her hand,
kissed her knuckles before staring into her eyes. “No other man
is allowed to touch you. I mean it. I wouldn’t be able to
control myself. You’re mine.”
    She smiled even as
her nerves kicked in. “I’m not a toy.”
    “ I never said
you were a toy. I said you’re mine. I mean it. I’ll hurt
any man who touches you.”
    Pulling her hand
away, she stared at where his hand disappeared into the water. His
fingers stroked the inside of her thigh, working his way up to her
pussy. She covered his hand and shook her head.
    “ Not yet.”
    “ You’re
mine,” he said.
    “ For this
weekend.”
    Jason stood
abruptly. His fingers flicking water at her, making her yelp. He
caught her face in his hands and kissed her deeply. “When this
weekend is up, you’ll never think twice of leaving me.”
He spoke the words the moment he broke the kiss.
    She watched him walk
out of the bathroom. His tight ass caught her attention. Emily
remembered a time when she’d nibbled on that tight flesh.
Smiling, she ran her hands through the bubbles.
    The weekend had
certainly taken an unexpected turn. She’d never expected Jason
to turn up. Emily was grateful he had. Did she really want to be with
another man? The thought of someone else touching her left her
feeling cold and empty.
    He’d ruined
her for any man who’d want her. His possessive need and
constant control was heady to be around. She loved the fact he craved
her submission. It was nice to have her decisions and choices taken
from her. Jason was a good dominant. He didn’t abuse his power.
He’d mastered domination like he mastered most things in his
life. There was nothing he couldn’t do when he put his mind to
it.
    She lay back in the
water thinking about him.
    Why wouldn’t
he let her go? She’d hurt him when she’d walked away.
    Stop thinking
about what you did.
    Walking away from
him was the biggest mistake she’d ever made.
    Closing her eyes,
she forced the tears down. Now was not the time to weep over what
she’d done. No matter how many times she regretted the decision
to leave him, she hadn’t returned to him willingly. He’d
bought her in an auction. Jason had once again saved her. She didn’t
want any other man. The only person she desired was Jason.
    You wanted him to
do this. Why are you fighting your natural instinct to submit?
    Cutting off the
thoughts once again, she picked up the sponge and began to soap her
body. While
