Nightmares- Ellise
“Dine with me tonight.”
I step away from my bedroom door. He knocked, at least. We must be making progress. I’ve been here for seventy-two hours, and I haven’t been able to do anything about getting Sam out nor finding anything about Lik and Rachel.
“No,” I tell him as I turn my back to him and return to the armchair I was using to read a book.
“You can’t be mad at me forever, Rosalind.” He steps in and walks unceremoniously to me. He puts a hand on each padded armrest and lowers until his face is close to mine. “Be nice to me,” he pouts.
“I’ll be nice to you when you free Sam and tell me if Lik is alive.” I pull up my open book to put it between his face and mine.
He pushes it back down before he talks again. “Okay. Fine. Have dinner with me. I’ll find outLik’sstate before then.”
“You already said that, remember? Before I gave you the information I knew. And then again, before I learned the new ones. You owe me. Don’t ask anything until you’ve given me what I want.”
He takes a step back. “You used to beg me for attention. Where’s the sweet girl I know?”
I slowly get up and walk to him. “I killed her when she realized you were a predator seventeen years older than her who used her and abused the weakened state she was in to turn her into a computer he could use for his criminal organization.”
His brows reach up to his hairline. He isn’t used to the real version of me. Strong, unafraid, and as stubborn as they come.
“My, my, you slept with someone seventeen years your elder. You are a bad girl, Rosalind.”
“Ugh, fuck off,” I huff as I walk back to the seat and settle down again. My eyes are on the page when he talks again.
“One of us is in desperate need to have information about someone they’re in love with,” he says calmly. “One of us just wants a nice dinner. You tell me who will break first.” He walks back to the door.
My teeth are clashing against each other before I shout, “Fine.” He stops and turns back around.
“There she is. I’ll find a nice dress for you, and we can have a date in the grand dining room.”
“Wonderful,” I drawl sarcastically.
“Don’t bother wearing underwear.”
“We arenothaving sex,” I hiss.
“I killed my wife for you. If not a wedding, you owe me at least good sex,” he chuckles.
My heart drops in my stomach. The girl Viktor knows would beg on her knees for his attention, his love, and his dick.
The girl I am found love and satiation in Rachel, Lik, and Sam.
And she wants nothing from Viktor Volkov except for him to let her go.
I’m just about to zip up the red dress he found for me when he enters my room. Without knocking this time.
“Let me,” he says as he hurries to me and grabs the end of the zipper.
I take a step and turn away.
“I’m fine.” But as I try again, I can’t pull it up. He watches me, rolling his lips to avoid smiling, and I finally give up. “Fine.” I turn my back to him, and he zips the dress up slowly, his knuckles grazing against my spine and bringing goosebumps to my skin.
“There you go,” he finally says. He grabs me by the waist and spins me around to observe me. “Beautiful.”
I roll my eyes and push him away. “Let’s eat.”
I step in front of him, making my way to the door, but he grabs my upper arm.
