Chapter One Sneak Peek
“ Take off your clothes, sweetheart.”
“ Excuse me?”
“Take off your clothes. I’m not trying to embarrass you, I need to know that you’re not wearing a wire.” He repeated, face blank.
“I’m not getting half naked in front of people, that wasn’t a part of the deal Murdock.”
“So you’ll get naked for just me then? Deal.” With a wave of his hand the room clears and it’s just you and him. The silence is overbearing as you stand there, wondering if it’s possible to trick a blind man into thinking you’re in your birthday suit.
“Whenever you’re ready.” He says cheekily and with an exasperated sigh, you peel off your shirt and pants, tossing them at Matt who catches them effortlessly, folding them nice and neatly on the chair.
“Let’s just get this over with.” You cross your arms over chest, shivering slightly in your underwear.
“I promise I’ll be gentle.” He whispers in your ear and your heart quickens in your chest. His calloused fingers make their way up and down your body, lingering on scars on your chest.
“What’s this from?”
“ Surgery from when I was ten.”
“And this one?”
“ Surgery to fix that surgery.”
For a split second, he runs his thumb over in what would be a comforting manner if it wasn’t done by one of the most dangerous men in Hell’s Kitchen. You clear your throat awkwardly and he continues on, quickly enough before resting his hands on neck.
“I don’t think I’m hiding a wire on my-
“ Are you afraid of me?” He asks cutting you off.
“No.”
“ Your pulse says otherwise, sweetie.”
“ I think we’re done here Murdock, unless you’d like to check my pussy for a GoPro.”
“Language, Sister.”
“Not a sister anymore. If you’re quite finished, I’d like to get dressed. I’ve got work in an hour.” He releases you but keeps your clothes in one hand.
“As of this morning, you quit your job. You’ll be moving in here with me, you’ll dine with me, you’ll go out with me, and you’ll wear what I tell you to wear as part of the contract Foggy drew up that you’ll be signing once we’re done here.”
“What the fuck, you don’t own me Murdock!” You yell but he simply shrugs and hands you a soft silk robe.
“Give me my clothes back.”
“I signed a contract to keep you safe and I can tell you with utmost certainty all that polyester you’re wearing is bad for your health. May I? “ Before you can say no he’s behind you easing the rather luxuriously soft robe around your shoulders and you can’t help but slide you arms in.
“Would you have made me undress in front of all those people if I disobeyed you?” You ask softly as he comes around in front of you, tying the belt closed.
“No.”
“Bullshit.”
He pulls some of your hair out of the robe before grabbing your wrists pulling you close.
“ Let’s get one thing straight, angel. You are mine to undress, mine to play with, mine to protect. Without me, there is no you, understand?”
