Free Entwined Fates: Dominating Miya by Trista Ann Michaels Page A

Princess doesn’t care about the little people beneath her.”
    “No.” She shook her head. “That’s not true.
    Behind him, she saw Alex walk into the room. She almost sobbed in relief he was okay but tried to keep her attacker from realizing what her reaction was really over.
    “Why did you do this?” she asked.
    “I’ve loved you for so long, and you never even noticed me,” he snarled.
    Miya wasn’t sure what to say. She had noticed him, but she was just never attracted to him. He wasn’t Alex.
    “Hey,” Alex snarled.
    Her attacker’s eyes went wide just before he turned. Alex raised his fist and hit the guy hard in the face, knocking him out. Miya sagged against the wall in relief. She’d never been so scared in her life.
    Alex rushed forward and pulled her into his arms. “Are you all right?” he asked.
    She nodded. “I’m fine. Are you okay, Alex?” she asked.
    She wrapped her arms around his neck and put one hand on the back of his head. He grunted softly, and she felt a warm wetness against her hand. Pulling her fingers away, she noticed the blood.
    “You’re bleeding!”
    “I’m okay.”
    She pulled out of his arms. “No, you’re not.”
    Security rushed into the room and stared in shock at the attendant lying on the floor. “What happened?”
    Miya frowned. “How did you know to come up here?”
    “I sent them a message before coming back into the room,” Alex replied, then turned back to the security guard. “Took you damn long enough.”
    Miya put her hand on Alex’s upper arm, trying to calm him down. The lead security guard narrowed his eyes at Alex. “It took us a few seconds to get up here.”
    Alex pointed to the man on the floor. “He was stalking Miya.”
    “We need a medical kit,” Miya ordered. “Alex is hurt.”
    “Miya, I’m fine,” Alex said softly.
    “Shut up, Alex.”
    Alex turned a cold, hard stare toward her. “Excuse me?”
    Miya swallowed but turned away, ignoring his anger. Wow. Was that what a pissed Dom looked like? And what would he have done to her if the security team wasn’t there?
    She ignored him and spoke to the guard. “We also need the police. I want to press charges.”
    One man nodded as he handed Miya a small med kit.
     
    ALEX FROWNED AS Miya shoved him onto a chair and began to wipe away the blood on the back of his head. Had she really just told him to shut up? And was he actually going to let her get away with it?
    Behind his eyes throbbed. Damn, he’d come close to blacking out. He wasn’t sure what he’d been hit with, but whatever it was, it hurt like hell.
    She pressed a little too hard, and he winced.
    “Sorry,” she murmured.
    “For pressing too hard or telling me to shut up?”
    “Both, I guess,” she said softly.
    Hearing the sadness in her voice, Alex decided to let it go. She wasn’t his sub. She wasn’t his anything. And she never would be. Miya would never agree to the kind of relationship he wanted. He didn’t want a Master-slave relationship. He didn’t want her to cater to his every whim 24-7, but he would require obedience in the bedroom, and he doubted Miya would want to give up even that small amount of control.
    She already hated the control her father and brothers had over her. He would just be one more person telling her what to do. She would hate him, and that would tear him up more than letting her go now would.
    The police came in and took statements, then cleared out the unconscious attendant who still lay sprawled on the floor. They said they would search the young man’s apartment and get back to Alex on anything they found.
    Once everyone was gone, Alex sighed and stood. “I guess I better let your dad know it’s over.”
    He couldn’t bring himself to look at her and see the hurt he knew would be in her eyes. Hell, it was his own damn fault. He should’ve never kissed her.
    “You’re leaving?” she asked.
    “Yeah,” he said as he walked over and grabbed his bag. “The guy’s been
