Seducing a Barbarian (Not-So-Savage Barbarians #3)

Four

SIMON

H e didn’t leave me alone all day that first day. He spent most of it trying to teach me to speak and talking at me. Even when we relieved ourselves, he was within spitting distance. And I wasn’t willing to run in the dark again without some kind of light and something to protect myself. I wanted to get free, but I wasn’t stupid. So I was stuck with him for at least another night.

I wasn’t really surprised when we went to sleep and he lay down next to me. What surprised me was that he didn’t touch me. The first night, I figured he was being nice because I’d been traveling for days and was exhausted. I assumed the next night was when he’d push for sex. I was fully prepared to fight him, hurt him however I could, just to keep him away from me. He never did. He just lay down beside me and went to sleep. He didn’t even tie me up to make sure I didn’t run.
