    " Jolie , these are my men. They have their freedom, and are well paid b y me to keep my business affairs a secret. You will find no help among them. They are very loyal and you are to obey them in my absence. They will also report any wrong doings to me immediately, so it will pay for you to be a good girl in th eir presence. C ome along now."
    Jolie was mortified to feel Cole 's hand resting in the small of her back, pushing her forward toward the waiting men. She stood firm and Cole squeezed her waist in an all too familiar warning. Biting her lip, fighting back her tears then ti lting up her head in a show of defiance, Jolie went forward towards the leering group. The servants looked her over like she was a horse up for auction. One man reached out and stroked her cheek. Another combed his fingers through her hair and grazed the t op of her breasts. Her eyes flashed with outrage, and she reached up to swat their hands away, but stopp ed herself at the last moment.
    "Very good, pet. You're learning. Resistance causes punishment. ”
    Cole turned back to his men, a satisfied smirk on his fa ce. “ Isn't she exquisite? She's full of fire and she's pure. Pity she won't be up for sale, m y little wife would bring an excellent price." The men before her looked shocked at Cole 's words. "Yes men, it's true, I have taken this one as a wife. She will gr ace my home and bed on a permanent basis to give m e an aura of respectability.
    “ There has been too much snooping around in my affairs as of late, and I believe having a high bred wife will stop some of the suspicion. The matrons won't wag their tongues if my pretty bride is by my side at social gatherings. We will of course still continue to supply women for our esteemed customers, but the new Mademoiselle Jameson will grace my bed exclusively. She's passionate and beautiful , with the added bonus of helpin g us in our deception. What more could I ask for? She is the perfect way for us to cover our tracks."
    Jolie made a little sound of horror at Cole 's words and he patted her hand nonchalantly in a false effort to appease her. "You would have found out event ually pet so I decided it would be best to tell you of my work up front. You should be honored my sweet , to be chosen for my wife instead of being put up for sale. I see beautiful woman every day , and could have my pick of any of them, but have chosen you instead. Your silence is of course insured by the knowledge that were you to tell of my business ventures, you would be taught a lesson you'd never forget , and immediately sold to someone who would gladly pay to spirit you far away from New Orleans. Beside s that, you will never have a chance to tell anyone. You will always be legally bound to my side , not to mention watched at all times. Your fate is in my hands , and always will be. But enough of this unpleasantness now, it has been a long day. Time for bed , pigeon."

    Cole turned a trembling Jolie towards the grand staircase and she climbed the steps on quivering legs. Both fear and a newly wakened desire filled her at the thought of being alone with Cole . She should hate him and be disgusted by his horrid business, but her body still tingled when he brushed his knuckles against the side of her breast and the memory of his touch in the carriage, burned throughout her body. What did he have planned for her? Would he rub her between the legs again? Wo u ld he punish her? Jolie remembered that he said he would give her great pleasure or pain an d she shivered at the thought.
    "Frightened, my sweet?"
    Jolie met his eyes and slowly shook her head. She was nervous, very nervous, and she had that odd feeling in t he pit of her stomach again, but she would never admit that she was truly scared. If he sensed her fear, his dominance over her would be compl ete before it had even begun.
    They arrived at Cole 's bedchamber and he gently pushed her forward into the lamp li t room. It was done in
