Sinful Possession Read Online Free PDF

they
were just lucky. After all, what were the chances of all seven of them finding
women like his brothers’ wives?
    For some odd reason, that
usual cold, dripping sensation that pooled in his stomach failed to occur.
    Ridiculous. He hardly knew
the woman. Certainly she was the most attractive thing he’d ever laid eyes on.
And her spirit was to be admired. There was something innately warming about
her, as though she glowed from the inside...
    Ash pinched the bridge of his
nose harder. He needed to get a grip.
    The door handle rattled
again.
    “You might as well get some
rest, Harris. We’re going to be in for a long night.”

Chapter Four
    “This is ridiculous. I demand you take me home.” Lila
smoothed down her skirts and ran her fingers through her hair.
    It had been so beautifully
done, she thought mournfully. But being attacked and then kidnapped hadn’t done
it any favours. She still recalled the excitement whirling in her belly at the
thought of her first ball. How long ago that seemed.
    Now she was trapped in a
carriage with two men. Two identical men. Two devastatingly handsome, identical
brothers.
    Harris flashed her a grin.
She narrowed her eyes at him.
    “My family will have you
arrested.” While Ash ignored her, peering out of the carriage window, Harris’
grin widened. “Does the thought of being arrested for kidnap amuse you?” she
asked incredulously.
    “We come from one of the
richest families in England, Miss Radley, and have had our fair share of
trouble. A little kidnapping is nothing.”
    “A little kidna—!” She cut
herself off with her own annoyance as her voice shot impossibly high. These men
were utterly insane, and there was no reasoning with them.
    “The fact is, Lila—” Ash
turned his gaze on her, those deep, dark depths drawing her in “—that someone
very powerful is trying to kill you. And frame me for it.”
    “Why can’t we just go to the
police?” She folded her arms across her chest. “And I do not see how kidnapping
me will help.” An involuntary huff escaped her. “I was meant to be attending
Almacks in two days, and now I’ll miss it.”
    Lila never intended to have
a pouty tone to her voice, but it was how she came across, like a petulant,
spoiled child. She knew it when Ash simply lifted a brow and Harris chuckled.
This wasn’t her. She was elegant and charming. Really, she should be able to
convince them to release her with ease. But her charms had fled, leaving her
feeling awkward and ridiculous.
    “Is attending Almacks really
worth your life?” Ash asked her.
    “Yes.”
    Wonderful, now she sounded
even more ridiculous. She had not meant that either. But all this running away
seemed ridiculous. Someone would believe them surely? After all, the Cynfells
were rich and powerful as they had just stated. And her family were hardly
going to be ignored. They would simply finger the man who had tried to hurt her
and she could return to her lovely life.
    Lila clamped her hands
around herself. This whole horrible, sickening event could be forgotten.
    “I’ll admit it would be a
mighty shame for you to miss out on dancing with all the old stiffs at Almacks,
but you have us for company. Surely that more than makes up for it?” Harris
offered her a tilted grin.
    She almost felt her lips
twitching into a smile. Though identical, she could tell them apart. There was
something innately charming about Harris, even though she knew he was doing it
deliberately. The very idea that being kidnapped by two—albeit handsome—men was
better than a ball was ludicrous, and yet she could not help wonder if there
were not many women who would happily reverse roles.
    “Where are we going anyway?”
    Ash tapped a finger on his
thigh as if debating how much to tell her. “To a place where you’ll be safe.”
    “Which is?” She glared at
him until his jaw began to twitch. “I think it only fair you tell me
considering you have ruined everything for
