Darren moves his hand back up my chest to my chin. He runs his thumb over the tape covering my lips. “So you going to come for me, Bridge? Just like you used to?”
He’s serious. How am I supposed to be in the mood after I’ve been kidnapped? I’ve heard that adrenalin can boost arousal, so maybe I have that going in my favor.
“If I remember…” he murmurs as his fingers graze the area just past my jawbone, behind my ear.
My legs melt. That little area is an erogenous zone for me, one that he discovered. Still, given that I’m in flight-or-fight mode, I’m surprised Darren’s caress can trigger a response in me.
Leaning down, he replaces his fingers. As he kisses and nibbles, I feel my mind being pulled away from the present and into the past, to a time when I would have done just about anything for Darren, when I thought he felt the same toward me.
But what a delusion that was! I was so wrapped up in my fantasy and had fallen so hard for Darren, I saw only what I wanted to see. The present is a completely different picture.
Only now I have to go back into that past fantasy and pretend like everything is okay. Otherwise, how in the world am I going to be in a state receptive to climaxing?
Gently, he licks the erogenous spot, and my body lights up. It’s just like the past, like the two-plus years in between never existed.
He works the area more intensely. Part of me protests. I don’t want to succumb to Darren. I don’t want him thinking I still want him. I should be screaming at him, kneeing him in the balls because he kidnapped me and is holding me captive against my will.
This is what you get for falling in love with a gangster.
His hand is between my shoulder blades, slides down to the small of my back and settles on my ass. Electric pulses shoot through my body. How am I able to hold two seemingly diametrically opposed responses at the same time? Some sentimental, sex-starved part of me wants to live in the past, before I knew the truth of who Darren is. The more sensible part of me is scared, wants to put up a fight and get as far from Darren as possible.
At this point, I’m not sure which part will prevail.
