“All stopped, Mia. Relax. You are home safe,” he says, running his hand over my hair affectionately.

I finish my drink, and immediately, I feel better. The electrolytes are working their way into my system.

I lean into him.

“I was so scared,” I say, and Connor pulls me into his arms, planting a kiss on my head.

“I know.”

“I should’ve known. I was at Sienna’s—”

Oh fuck.

The rest of the black gaps in my memory fill, causing me to stiffen.

“Mia,” Connor says, low and dark.

He knows I’ve remembered, and it’s all I can do not to scream into his chest as I realize I’m still not safe.

I’ve gone from one enemy into the arms of another.

IPUSH AWAY from himafter the initial panic subsides. Connor lets me go, and I clamber off the bed.

Then collapse.

“Just take it easy. You’re still recovering,” he says, tossing back the sheets.

I wave at the air in front of me. “Put something on.”

He’s naked.

His brows shoot up.

Ugh.

Grabbing the bed, I stand and glance down at my own body to make sure I’m clothed. I’m wearing one of his NAVY T-shirts. He must have dressed me.

“Who are you?” I croak out.

“Connor Barrett,” he replies, taking a step toward me. “Your fiancé, and the man you are going to marry.”

I snort angrily.

“Is that a threat? Why the fuck does everyone want to marry me?”

“Because you are mine, Mia. I am not letting you go. I know you feel the same way.”

I fish-mouth it for a second, not believing my ears. Then, I point toward his office. “You know I saw that shit, right? I know you know.”

He nods.

“I don’t belong to you. Whatever you had planned is now over.” I glance around for my belongings, but I have no idea where my phone or my purse are. “You can’t keep me here,” I add and can’t help but glance at the heavy member hanging between his legs.

Stupid penis.

Connor walks into the wardrobe, and I stand there, staring at the doorway. He walks out in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.

Well, at least I can now concentrate.
