“Not yet.”
“You are an arrogant prick.” When my instincts took over and I tried to slap him, he immediately grabbed my hand, snarling under his breath.
“Be careful which side you choose, Georgia. I will attempt to keep you alive. In turn, you will obey my commands.”
“Obey? You? Not a fucking chance.”
“Yes, there will be established rules and if you break them, you will suffer the consequences.”
I laughed bitterly. “You know what that freak did to me, yet you spout off about punishment? I can only imagine what that means to you. I just want to enjoy my life.”
“You’ve been doing nothing but hiding, my sweet girl, terrified of your own shadow. Sadly, you are right to do so. You should know by now that eventually all predators pick up the scent and when they latch onto it, they never let go until they feast on their prize.”
“Like you.”
“Very much like me. Let’s not do this now. You can come with me voluntarily or I’ll make other arrangements. It’s entirely up to you.”
God, I loathed this man with everything I had inside of me.
“Not without Max. He’s my child too.”
He took a deep breath, exhaling as he pulled his head away, yet the sheer power of the man remained. He was even more dangerous than I’d realized.
“Come with me, my little peach.” He took me by the hand, leading me away from the car, nodding to his two soldiers as we passed. As we neared a dark Suburban parked underneath an oak tree, I held my breath. He pulled out a key fob, the lights flashing as he unlocked the doors. With his hold remaining firm, he opened one of the back doors.
Max bounded out, barking only once as he raced toward me. Only then did Sabatino allow my hand to slip from his. I crouched down, my pup planting both paws on my shoulders, licking me furiously. He’d broken into my house. He’d taken my dog. Now he was taking me away from the only home I knew. To what end?
What was this horrible man going to do to me? Was he lying about his protection, or would he throw me to the pack of wolves when he was finished using me? Even worse, what would Rico do when he found out about his son?
I had no choice. None. I’d played a game and lost. The consequences were going to be severe.
“What’s it going to be, Georgia? Will you come with me willingly?”
“So I’ll be nothing more than your prisoner.”
“No, you’ll be my guest. My very special guest.”
“With rules and consequences.”
“Yes,” he growled, his gorgeous eyes lighting up, so icy that I still couldn’t stop shaking.
I glanced toward Dillon once again, his laughter keeping the ache in my system so strong. I wiped my tears, promising myself I would never shed another one in front of this horrible man. “Yes, Sabatino. I will come with you but I will make you this promise.” I snapped my head in his direction, rising to my feet and being the one to close the distance this time. No man would ever have total control of me ever again. “If anything happens to my son, there won’t be a way you can avoid the consequences of your actions or the wrath that I’ll make certain comes down on you. Trust me. You don’t know what I’m made of.”
With that I spun around, heading for my son.
If the bastard believed he would own my life, he was wrong.
Dead wrong.
CHAPTER 17
“Areally strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.”—Carly Simon
Sabatino
The woman had nerve.
Maybe I should say she had balls larger than most men I knew.
