“You can’t sleep in that dress.” I moved to the small closet where kept extra clothes, trying to keep my voice unaffected even though heat shot through me at the thought of undressing her.’s restrictive. You need to be comfortable.”

The dress clung to her body, the fabric hugging every curve. The neckline dipped low, the color making her skin glow under the dim light. Her heels were still on, thin straps wrapping around her ankles, making her legs look impossibly long.

I noticed it the second I burst into that VIP room.

How beautiful she looked.

How wrong it was that Pierre had seen or even touched her like this.

I grabbed one of my shirts from the closet, a simple white button down that would be massive on her, and returned to the

bed.

“Sit up.”

“I’m perfectly…” She couldn’t finish, the words slurred and trailing off into nothing.

There was no way she was comfortable in that tight dress and heels.

I sat beside her on the bed and slipped my arm around her back helping her into a sitting position.

Then I knelt to remove her heels. My fingers brushed her ankles as I undid the straps, and I felt her shiver.

“Now the dress.” I reached for the zipper at her back.

“No.” She tried to twist away. “I can do it myself.”

“You can barely sit up straight. Stop being stubborn.”

“I hate you.”

“I don’t believe you.” I found the zipper and slowly pulled it dow, the sound loud in the quiet room. “Arms up.”

“No.”

“Anna.”

She glared at me, her eyes still unfocused but filled with defiance Then slowly she lifted her arms.

I helped her out of the dress, trying desperately not to look at what was underneath. But it was impossible not to notice. The lace bra that matched the dress. The delicate panties. Her skin glowing in the low light, smooth and perfect.

This was pure torture,

Memories resurfaced. Her irresistibly naked on my desk in my office the day she begged me to take her virginity. It had taken every ounce of self-control I possessed to refuse her.

I told myself it was the most honorable and selfless act I had eve done.

And now I was not so sure.

Chapter 180

Having her here, half dressed and vulnerable, trusting me even while she was angry, it was torture.

I grabbed the shirt quickly and pulled it over her head, guiding her arms through the sleeves.

The fabric swallowed her, the hem falling to the middle of her thighs. I buttoned it quickly, forcing my hands to work through each hole, not allowing myself to think about the fact that she was naked underneath except for her underwear.

For a brief second the thought crossed my mind to remove the rest of her clothes so she could sleep comfortably.

But I shut that thought down immediately.

The thought of having her sleep completely naked before me, in my bed, in my shirt. No. That was a temptation I could not afford.

“Get into bed.”

“I hate you.” But there was less venom in it this time.

“We both know you don’t. Get into bed anyway.”

She crawled under the covers, still muttering about how much se hated me, how this was all my fault, how I had ruined everything. I pulled the blanket up to her chin, tucking it around her.

“Sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning.”

She settled reluctantly, shutting her eyes. I pressed a small kiss of her forehead and walked away.

I did not go far. Her soft, raspy voice stopped me halfway across the room.

“I can’t sleep.”

I turned around.

She shifted restlessly under the blanket, kicking it slightly.

“I feel hot.”

I walked back to the bed and pressed the back of my hand to her forehead.

Still warm, but not feverish.

“Do you want me to turn up the AC?”

“I don’t know.” She shifted again. “I just feel hot. And weird.”

She looked at me with glassy eyes.

“Weird how?”

“I don’t know. Tingly. Like my skin is too tight.”

I sat slowly on the edge of the bed, studying her flushed face. He dilated pupils. The way she could not stay still.

Then it clicked.

Rage flooded through me again.

That bastard did not just drug her to make her compliant. He gave her something to make her aroused, to make her body betray her, to make her unable to fight back or say no because she would want it.

“Anna, listen to me.” I kept my voice calm, even though I wanted to go back to that room and finish what I had started with Pierre. “Pierre drugged you. Whatever you’re feeling, it’s not real It’s the drugs.”

She looked at me, confused as her breathing quickened, her chest rising and falling rapidly under my shirt.

“I feel an ache. Between my legs.” Her voice dropped to a whispe, embarrassment coloring her cheeks even darker. “It kind of hurts.”

I gripped the sheets tightly, fighting back my urge to go and finish Pierre.

If I had not gotten there in time. If I had been five minutes later

“It’s the drugs.” I forced the words out. “Try to sleep. Your body needs to process it. Just try to sleep.”

But even as I said it, I knew sleep was not going to come easily. Not for her. Not with whatever was coursing through her

system.

And definitely not for me.

For

Because I had to sit here and watch her suffer through it while every part of my body screamed at me to give her exactly what the drugs were pushing her to want.

It was going to be a very long night.
