It will only anger me. You know what will happen if you anger me,” Geoffrey said, tone soothing, almost kind.\u003cbr\u003eBeth rallied her reserves of strength and remained facing him, spine straight. Inside she quaked with fear.\u003cbr\u003e“That's better,” he murmured. “You know as long as you obey me, we will get along very well.”\u003cbr\u003e“Why are you doing this? Please, let me go. I will never tell a soul. I promise.”\u003cbr\u003e“Oh, but I can't do that. You’re mine for now and I have yet to really get to know you. \u003cbr\u003eCome.

It tightened at the contact. Beth gritted her teeth and clenched her hands. She wouldn’t let him affect her. \u003cbr\u003eThen Geoffrey caressed her breasts and circled her nipples with whisper light touches as though he knew the effect his touch elicited. Darts of feelings shot down Beth’s body. Geoffrey’s hands felt dry and warm. She tried to move away from his arousing ministrations, but his rock-like strength trapped her. \u003cbr\u003eWith nothing between them except his trousers, Beth could feel her effect on him.
