“Did she send you here to gather information?”

“Princess,” he croons, “I’m nobody’s errand boy.”

“Stop calling me that.”

His nose scrunches. “Call you what?”

“Princess. I’m not anything to you,” I snap, sounding unhinged by a simple pet name. “Now, help me find my way out of here,” I say, moving toward the door.

He laughs. The son of a bitch actually laughs at me as though I’m ridiculous.

“I’ll keep that in mind, and for the record, you’re not getting out of here.” He shakes his head, moving in between me and the door. “I’m sorry about this.”

He lunges toward me, lifting me in one swoop. I don’t even have a chance to realize what’s happening and fight before I’m back in that cage, locked away again.

“Wait,” I bark out, grabbing the cage bars with both hands. “Don’t you dare leave me. Get me out.”

His head turns over his shoulders, eyes gleaming as they run over the parts of me he can see. “You’re not anything to me,princess,and I don’t owe you a damn thing.”
