"Do you really think you can scare me?" she challenged.
"Scare you? Little bird, I'm not here to scare you. I'm here to own you."
"You can't just-"
"Can't just what? Want you? Desire you?"
"I fucking crave you, Isabella. Every thought I have is about you. Do you know what that's like?"
She took a step back, but Renzo was on her in an instant, his fingers curling around her throat, pulling her closer. His touch burned through her skin, sending a shiver down her spine.
"You don't get it, do you?"
"You're mine. Every breath you take, every smile you give, it all belongs to me."
She tried to pull away, but his grip tightened, not enough to hurt, but enough to remind her who was in control. "Let me go, Renzo."
"Let you go? Never. I'll chain myself to you before I let you go."
"What if I don't want to be owned?"
"You don't get a choice in this, Bella. You're going to be mine, in every way. You can fight it, or you can accept it, but either way, you're not going anywhere."
"Renzo..."
"I'll give you the world, Bella. I'll build you a fucking heaven, and if you want to turn it into hell, I'll burn with you. But one thing's for sure-you're never leaving me."
She looked into his eyes, seeing the dark promise within. She knew he meant every word.
