One Lie is Enough

(IVANNA)

Karlen and I watch then set as the yacht cruises back to Tyva. We are both silent and lost in our thoughts.

And one thing you should know, Ivanna, is that I always get what I want.

Was that Sergio telling me that he wanted me? That had certainly been implied as he cornered me on the wall and caged me with his body. At that moment, I hadn't felt any fear. Well, maybe a little, but not because I thought that he would hurt me. I was afraid because of the way I was reacting to him. Of how excitement pulsed between my legs just taking a look at him. Any time he is within fifty feet, my nipples bead, almost like they are issuing me some kind of a warning.

But then, I didn't want to run away from him. Far from it.

The thought of his strong hand on my throat, the warmth and the strength of his body surrounding me makes me want more. I want to drown in his darkness, and that's what's terrifying me the most.
