Page 65 of Her Improper Desire

God.

Why?

How?

Prue couldn't make herself stand as she took her phone out of her pocket with shaking fingers. She remained seated on the floor as she made the call, and she could barely breathe when Khadem answered after the first few rings.

"Are you done?"

His voice was low and sexy. Beautiful. But now the sound of it made her want to cry.

"Did you do it, Khadem? Alta? And those guys? Did you do it?"

There was only silence on the other end, and her fingers tightened around her phone.

"I need to hear you say you didn't do it, Khadem."

"And if I can't?"

Prue could no longer speak, and as her whole world went dark, the last thing she heard was Khadem saying her name.

****

SAVE ME, SOMEONE SAVEme, please!

Prue cried the words out over and over, but no one came, and the men circled around her just laughed and stared at her like she was a piece of meat rather than an actual human being. Terror seized her by the throat, and just as she opened her mouth to scream—-

She woke up.

A nightmare.

Her eyes flew open.

It was just a nightmare, oh thank God.

But when she realized where she was, and who it was seated next to her bed, Prue felt as if she had escaped one nightmare only to find herself trapped in another another.

Khadem couldn't help flinching when he saw the way Prue reared back upon seeing him. "I'm not going to hurt you."

Prue's heart broke at the sound of his voice. How could a voice so lovely...belong to a man capable of such violence?

A commotion outside her room yanked Prue out of her thoughts, and she felt her face drain of color when she realized it was Klaus. That was Klaus' voice, and he was calling for security.

Prue's distressed gaze flew back to Khadem, and his jaw clenched at the fear in her eyes. "You don't have to worry about him," he said curtly. "I know he's been good to you, and as long as he doesn't hurt you, he has nothing to worry about."

"H-How did I get here?"

"The boy. 911."

"And you..."

"I had people watching your house," he reminded her.

"And now? Are your people the reason Klaus can't come in here?"

Khadem's gaze narrowed. "Do you want him to come in?"

"Yes!"
