Tracy raised her hand to strike her again. Daisy didn’t have time to react. William had caught her mother’s hand before Tracy could do anything else.
“Let go of me, you brute.”
“I’m a brute? I’ve never struck a young woman with the intention of hurting her, Miss McAllister.”
“You’re that pervert who owns that club.”
“I’m the guy who owns the club. I’m also the guy who owns your daughter. If I see a bruise on her caused by you, you’ll be sorry.”
“You can’t do anything to me, Mr. Pervert. No one in Cape Falls will believe you.” Her mom sneered.
Daisy had never felt so ashamed in all of her life.“It is a good thing I’m from the city, Miss McAllister. We do things differently there. I might also warn you that Gabriel is of the same ilk as I, and he does not like seeing women abused, especially by a parent. Get out.”
Her mother looked at her and then walked out. Daisy couldn’t stop her body shaking. The door to her apartment slammed closed, and she pressed a hand to her cheek.
William cursed then moved her hand away. “She got a hit in before I got here?” he asked.
“Yes, not a bad one.”
He tilted her head back to the light. His thumb caressed the flesh of her face, turning her this way and that way. “I don’t like it. I wish I could show her what real fear was.”
“I’m fine.”
“I don’t like women who take advantage of their position. She took advantage as a parent. I don’t like it, Daisy.”
She nodded her head and stared down at the floor.“Has she hit you like that before?”
“Yes.”
“I wish I’d gotten here sooner.”
“She’s my mother. My baggage.”
“And you promised to be mine, Daisy. I’m the one in control.”
Daisy smiled then went to take a seat on the sofa where her mother had perched.
“What?” he asked.
“Nothing,” she said.
“Tell me. You promised to give me everything. I want to know what you’re thinking.”
She took a breath turning toward him. “I’m waiting for you to run out. A lot of guys couldn’t stomach my mother. They hated being with me after they’d seen her. She’s not a great person to be around before a date.”
“No, she can kill the mood. It is a good job that I’m not a little boy. I’m a man,” he said.
“What does that mean?” she asked.
William's gaze penetrated her to her very soul. She couldn’t look away as he captured her whole attention. “Come here,” he said.
She moved closer, and he placed a hand on her leg and got her to straddle his lap like she had that morning.
“Do you feel that?” he asked, pressing up against her mound.
“Yes.” His thick erection pressed to her covered pu**y. She moaned as his hands went to her ass.
“That woman will never affect my need for you,” he said.
“You need me?”
“Always.”
She stared down into his eyes. “You want me?”
He chuckled. “Is that so hard to think about?”
“I just thought you didn’t seem happy about training me when I asked. I didn’t think you wanted me.”
“Daisy, if I didn’t want you then I wouldn’t have agreed. I also wouldn’t have allowed you to be tied to my bed. Make no mistake in my actions, woman. I want you.”
She smiled feeling better already.
“Have you ever seen a man naked?” he asked.
Daisy shook her head. “On a few movies, but no, I’ve never seen a guy naked.”
“I know this is embarrassing, but I need to know. Do you mind me asking you a few questions?”
“I don’t mind.”
He settled down with her still on his lap.
“Have you ever been na**d with a man?”
“No, I told you that.”
“Ah, you told me you’d never seen a man naked. This was a different question.” She closed her eyes when his hands curled around and underneath the shirt she was wearing.
“The answer is still no.”
“Do you want me, Daisy?” he asked.Her eyes opened as she stared down at him. She wanted him so badly. Daisy knew it was one of the reasons why she’d begun visiting the club in the first place. William intrigued her more than anyone else in her whole life. He was a muscular man, and he was also private. She’d seen the way he’d brushed off all the sneers and comments as he walked through the town square. William did not concern himself with the snide comments from the residents of Cape Falls.
“Yes, I want you.”
“What about my age, pet? Does my age bother you?”
She shook her head. “I like the fact you’re older.” Daisy saw the small flash of insecurity in his eyes. These questions were for him as much as they were for her.
“Have you ever had an orgasm?” he asked.
“No.”
“Do you want one?”
“Yes.”
He smiled, and her whole body turned to mush. She’d never seen anything as powerful as the charismatic smile he gave her. Daisy knew she was gone. She would spend the rest of her life trying to earn that smile.
Chapter Five
Did she have any idea how sexy she looked as she straddled his lap? He saw the wetness of her arousal through the fabric of the sweat-pants she wore. Her scent permeated the air between them. She smelled like warm honey, sweet and succulent. He wanted a taste of her. William knew he should take it slow, but he wanted to be the first man to give her an orgasm. Every woman should know what it feels like to reach a cl**ax.
He cupped her ass and pressed his c**k against her warm pu**y. How long had it been since he’d last sunk inside a nice, tight cunt? It had to be two years, possibly more since he’d felt any real need to let go.
His celibacy was about to be broken by a red haired woman with a vulnerability that was in total contrast to the colour of her hair.
“This is not part of your training, Daisy. I want you to feel what this is like. I’ll begin your training later,” he said.
She nodded her head. No words came out of her. He fingered the shirt she was wearing. William felt great satisfaction in knowing she’d slept in the clothes he’d given her. The same clothes he’d worn before. Did his scent appeal to her?
He wanted to see her naked, but this was for her.
“May I remove your shirt?” he asked.
