There's fascination in the gaze that appraises you, his eyes trailing across your form in a slow tantalizing path. The air is charged with the tension that envelopes the space between the two of you as you are locked in a silent battle with the man who has taken you away.

Royce Caradine is a man that knows what he wants and gets it, you were simply unfortunate enough to catch his interest.

The arrangement hangs heavy in the silence, a testament to the bet that had been played and his subsequent victory. It has been agreed that the winner may ask any from the loser, you just didn't expect it to be this.

"Stay with me for a month. I want to have the most elusive person in this city by my side, in my company, for a month. I'm sure that won't be too much of a problem."

You can still remember the smirk he gave you, the one that confirms his ability to get whatever he wants. One does not simply become a king — a dominating force in the business industry — without knowing how to get what they want.

It's unfortunate that he wants you.

"Stop pouting, I did not bring you here to sulk. I simply want to have the privilege of owning the most elusive person in this city for a month."
