At the Billionaire's Pleasure 5 (Anything for Love) (BDSM Billionaire Series) Read Online Free Page A

I don't understand? David, honestly? I'm the one wearing his bruises around my neck. It's my head he tried to bash in on the rock. It was my life he tried to take. Mine. Not yours. Not anyone else’s. Mine. I understand well enough but I'm not prepared to become his victim. I'll have plenty of that when I close my eyes at night." Tears threatened to spill down my cheeks but I held them at bay by pinching my leg. The pain helped me focus. Helped keep me calm and stopped me from wanting to scream.
    David ran his hand across my thigh before he gently took my hand in his. The gesture was almost enough to undo my progress with my emotions but I held them in check.
    "I just can't bear to think of anything happening to you. The more I know the better chance I have of protecting you. That is all. You mean everything to me, Carrie. The sooner you understand that the better."
    The car ran over a bump jolting my hand out of David's and the car turned down and into a gravel drive. I didn't pay too much attention to where we were headed. Instead all of my attention was focused on the man before me. The intensity in his eyes made me swallow with nervousness. I had witnessed David's intensity before but nothing like this. He meant every word he said. I could feel it.
    The car rolled to a halt and it was then I turned my attention to where we were. The house that stood in the large sweeping driveway was huge. The stonework was a work of art in itself and I could tell the house was worth a small fortune. It was the type of house I could imagine gothic heroines running from when the bumping in the closet turned out to be much more than a mouse.
    David noticed my shocked expression and a smile spread across his lips. "Welcome to my home. Well my childhood home. It's my parents house but they prefer to spend their time abroad. Mother likes the warmth and father will give her anything she wants."
    I turned terrified eyes to David and gulped. "Your parents aren't here are they? Not now?"
    David's smile grew even wider. "No. As I said they prefer being abroad. They never come back here. It has some bad memories so they leave it to me and Aaron to use when we see fit."
    I let out a shaking breath and turned to look up at the house once more. It was stunning. The windows sparkled each time the sunlight hit them and the huge oak door was already ajar as though we were expected. That wasn't what truly caught my eye though. It was the sight of a tower attached to one end of the house. It mesmerised me and I imagined what it would be like to climb the stairs to the top. To stand and look out upon the countryside surrounding the house. It was like something from a fairytale.
    I jumped when the car door opened and the body guard dressed head to toe in black held it. David's laugh made me want to slap him. But it was nice to hear him so relaxed. Since the situation with Robert had developed David hadn't been himself. He was always tense and on guard as though expecting someone to jump out at him at any second and steal me away. It was hard to watch him behave that way. Part of me wondered how I was behaving? Perhaps it was the fear in me that was causing such a reaction in David. Could we truly be such mirrors of each other?
    "Wait until you see the inside. You'll love it." David sounded so excited as though he had truly found the most exciting thing ever and he wanted to share it with me.
    I climbed out of the car and gripped his arm tightly to steady myself. The blood rushed to my head and I felt slightly faint. Even though I was recovered it still didn't stop me from having funny moments. The feeling passed in an instant and David held me tightly as though ensuring that I wouldn't disappear.
    "Are you alright? Perhaps this is too much?"
    I grinned at him then and gestured to the house. "Are you kidding me? I get taken to beautiful gothic mansions all the time. This is just one in a long line of gothic mansions..."
    His lips crushed mine and stole my
