The Claiming of Zoe (Supernatural Strippers Series) Read Online Free PDF Page A

That night was magical for me. Pleasure as I’d never known. But you didn’t remember me the next day. I was disappointed, but I knew what Artemis’ blessing drove you to. When I came back tonight, I brought my brother to see if he reacted the same way to you. But he didn’t. When you danced, I was almost driven mad by the jealousy and at the same time I felt that you danced for me . " He looked up at her, his dark eyes sincere and said, " I’m so sorry, Zoe. My instincts were driving me to claim you before you got away, and the idea of someone else’s hands on you instead of mine infuriated me. Please, don’t hate me. Please . " He stood up and crossed the room to pull her into his arms.
    " Look at me, Zoe . " He tilted her head up so he could meet her eye and said, " I love you, Zoe. I will treat you with respect and give you anything you want for the rest of our lives. The sex we have is beyond fantastic, but I love just talking to you. We can hold a conversation that has nothing to do with sex at all and you still keep my full attention. You are smart, and beautiful, and a lot deeper person than most give you credit for. I will hold you when you’re sick and listen when you talk. I want to be with you, and eventually, we will have a beautiful family and grow old together. For now, I would be content if you just gave me the chance to make it up to you. Just don’t hate me, please . " Zoe pulled away from him and walked to the window, looking anywhere but at him.
    Zoe fought to stay angry with him. She tried, she really did. She had lost her freedom and she’d been blinded with rage about it at first. But as she listened to Thad plead his case, her anger faded and her heart melted. She hadn’t even been aware that she longed for love. Now that it was being dangled in front of her, she realized how very badly she did want it. She wanted everything he’d said. Her former life had satisfied her completely and she hadn’t seen the faults there until it was compared to the life Thad was offering her. Her life seemed depressingly empty and shallow when compared with the future Thad had presented. The future she hadn’t even known she wanted. But she did want it, desperately. She turned around and her heart ached at the heartsick expression on his face.
    Zoe let the corner of her mouth turn up in the beginning of a smile while she used a falsely fierce tone to speak . " You know you will spend the rest of your life making up for this, right? I’m not forgiving you, just giving you a chance to redeem yourself . "
    Thad’s smile brightened his whole face and he crossed the room in a few large steps, pulling her into his arms and crushing his lips to her in a possessive kiss . " That’s what I’m counting on, babe . " He led her back to the bed and proceeded to plead his case for their chances of future happiness for the next several hours.
