It was always difficult to escape from Katherine! The Italian gave her a two—second glance: thirty years old, brunett

 —What? —Katherine's question did not express surprise, but indignation—. What do you mean?  Are you going to send her to a hospital?—Well… I already made the arrangements this morning, I'm going to send her to a clinic...Johan didn't continue speaking, but everyone was quite aware of what he meant.—A... psychiatric clinic? —Kathy clarified, full of astonishment—. That's your answer?Her brother—in—law shrugged, as seemed to be his habit, and the gesture forced Ian to take a deep breath so as not to confront him. Furious, yes, he was furious at the attitude of a man who did not care about the obvious suffering of his wife.—It's the best for her. Lia needs professional help.—What Lia needs is her family! Bring professional help here, to the house!The Italian watched Johan's gestures carefully. It was obvious that he was determined to lock h

The main living room of the house was spacious and well—lit. Around it, twelve huge windows offered an exquisite landscape. Quiet, relaxing. The doors at the back opened onto the terrace, and the terrace onto the sea. But getting to know that little universe didn't seem to be in her guest's immediate interests, so Ian settled her in one of the armchairs and went back to the van for her things.Shadow waited for him outside expectantly, stroked his head and the wolf gave him an affectionate lick. He had done so well with Lia, really well.When he finally reached the car, Katherine was crying inconsolably, her forehead pressed against the steering wheel.—Katherine! —he scolded her—. You promised you wouldn't question my methods.—Oh, I'm not, I swear, I'm not! —she sobbed.—Then why are you crying? You know I would never let Shadow or the others hurt her.Yes, Kathy knew. The wolves' training had been

It was Friday. It had only been five days since Lia had arrived and the Italian could almost say that she hadn't altered his routine much... except that he always had to keep an eye on her, feed her, bathe her, take her for walks, take care of her things... He was a bloody housewife!Time, however, was flying by. She was still distant, but she already had some achievements in her favor. She was already bathing herself: at least her arms. She was already opening her mouth: for him to feed her. It wasn't much, but five days wasn't much either, and at least she was already obeying a little.Holding his hand, as she always did, she followed him to the beach and stared at the sea while he took pictures. Where he left her, there she stayed, immobile and distant as a rock.Ian wasn't sure to what extent she shared his reality, or if she was at least aware that she wasn't in her own home. Now the only completely new factor in that equation was the wolves, and the girl s

Ian tried to get away from Lia, but she felt the barrier of air crossing between the two bodies and refused, she didn't want him to leave, she didn't want to lose that feeling of having him close, of being caressed. She didn't want to let go of that smell, those hands, those tormented blue eyes that looked at her with the most irrepressible desire.Beyond the fog was that feeling of deep arousal that seized her, and she didn't want to let go of it.She stuck her thumbs in the belt loops of his jeans, thwarted his cowardly attempt to escape, and drew him back to her.—What the hell...? —he muttered, amazed.It was the first decision she made, and she made it at the wrong time."Lia, that's enough, let go of me." He could have told her, but the truth slapped him in the face: he was afraid she would obey him. What a good dominant! Katherine would laugh in his face if she had known...
