His words no longer stunned me, his arrogance just what I would have expected. But his intentions were what horrified me.
“Get out of my apartment or I will call the police,” I snapped.
“And say what, exactly? That I broke into your apartment? There are no signs that I did. That you don’t know me? Well, I have a few trinkets I could show them from our time spent together.” When he pulled a pair of my panties from his pocket, holding them against his nose, I had to fight to keep a moan from escaping.
“You’re a sick fuck.”
“You once called me handsome. What did I tell you?”
“That you were a monster.”
“And see? I didn’t lie to you. I am a monster, a man created from your nightmares.” His deep voice penetrated the room, sending a cascade of sizzling vibrations into my core. Every emotion rocked my mind and heart, but it was the hot and wet feeling pooling between my legs that horrified me.
How could I be attracted to a killer?
Should I believe all the horrible things my father had said, his insinuations that the Giordano family were brutal murderers? I didn’t know what to believe and couldn’t rely on my instincts at this moment. The same dazzling feelings remained even though I was sick to my stomach.
He casually took a sip of his drink then placed the glass on the table in front of him. My glass. My liquor. My house.
He’d invaded my space, as if he had the right to do so.
“Get out,” I said again, as if I believed he would comply with my demand.
Laughing, he rose to his feet and all six foot three of him seemed more menacing than before.
“I’m afraid that’s not going to happen, at least not without you by my side.”
“You’re crazy if you think I’d go anywhere with you.” I lifted the lamp, daring to take a step closer.
He lifted his eyebrow in response, more amused than ever. “Go ahead, Sarah. If it makes you feel better, take a swing at me, but I assure you that if you miss, you’ll regret it.”
“You’re threatening me?”
“No, as I’ve told several people as of late,” he said in his husky voice as he moved around the table, glancing lovingly down at my fur babies, “I never make threats. Just promises.”
“I don’t care why you’re here; I don’t want you to remain.”
“Oh, I think you do. In fact, I think you’re hungry for what only I can provide.”
“Asshole.”
“Isn’t your pussy aching, longing to have my cock driven inside? Are your nipples hard, fully aroused from the thought of all the filthy things I will do to you? Isn’t your heart racing, blood pumping through your veins from the longing to succumb to my needs?”
“Not for a second.”
“You’re lying to yourself. Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. If I’m forced to take you with me, you won’t like the punishment you receive. However, if you come with me willingly, then you’ll enjoy the start to your new life.”
The man was out of his fucking mind. “As I told you, I’m not going anywhere with you.” I refused to back away when he took a step closer, fighting the urge to burst into tears. No. It wasn’t going to happen.
“Then the hard way it is.” With two long strides, he grabbed my arm, trying to swing me around.
I reacted instantly, smashing the lamp against the side of his face, breaking the connection. Then I bolted toward the door. “Babies. Come!” Thank God they listened, scrambling to follow me while Gabriel roared in the background. I had my hand on the doorknob, twisting it when the door was kicked in. The force pummeled me backwards and against the arm of the couch. Gasping, I watched as the man from the hospital entered, slamming the door behind him then heading in my direction.
He managed to grab my arm, jerking me against him then wrapping his arm around my neck after turning me around. He stood like a fucking statue as I struggled, but his hold was tight enough every sound I issued was little more than a strangled gasp.
“Let… me… go.”
The dogs were barking, snapping at the man. When he acted as if he was going to kick Shadow, I rammed my elbow into his gut.
