Get some sleep.

Right.

As if relaxing under the roof of my kidnappers is possible. I’m in another country, my eyes feel like lead and I’m physically exhausted.

And my body is aroused.

Decker tells me he’s an undercover former Marine working for Mia’s fiancé. I have no choice except to trust him because right now my life is in his hands.

I’m out of my depth. I cannot leave this room and I believe him when he says things will be worse for me if I try.

I saw those men.

Plus, Decker hasn’t touched me again since our chat.

But I want him to.

Right now, he’s lying on his back next to me, on top of the covers and staring at the ceiling.

“Go to sleep,” Decker growls, so I sigh and close my eyes, wondering if he has eyes on the side of his head.

In some ways, I created all this. When I learned Mia was a mafia princess, I thought it was so exciting. Sienna got mad at me. Even at the wedding, she kept sighing at me. Which is ironic, given she was also fucking one of the Mancini mobsters, Nathan. Who, as it turns out, also works for Connor.

My god.

All I wanted was a bit more thrill in my life. Not a mafia massacre and to be kidnapped and threatened to be thrown into sex slavery.

Holy hell.

I feel so stupid.

What I am is privileged, I guess. My poor, boring life. The idea of being married to Todd was getting more and more uncomfortable.

All my life, I’ve observed my mom look after the home and be a socialite. My father inherited immense wealth from his family; as a lawyer, he’s making much of his own money.

After leaving college, I became a dental assistant, but it’s expected I’ll quickly have children and not work. Truth is, I don’t like the job. Yet, I have no idea what I would do if I was suddenly given a choice.

I probably wouldn’t marry Todd...

Guilt swarms through me as I think those thoughts.

Then I wonder if Mia is alive, or if Sienna got out safely. Our other friend, Duncan, was also there. Was he shot, or is he home now?

Duncan likes me. Mia and Sienna don’t think I am aware of it, but I am. I’ve been dancing around it for ages because none of them know I’m engaged.

Does that make me a liar?

I guess it does. None of them know I’m a virgin, betrothed to a trust fund baby like me, and that in six months, I’ll unlikely be able to hang out with them.

Todd doesn’t think they’re appropriate friends.

When he found out Mia belonged to the mafia, he lost his mind. But it’s too bad. Until we’re married, who I am friends with is none of his business.

So, I guess there was a part of me that was hoping for a wild adventure before that happened. Sure, I knew I’d have to remain a virgin, but the first time I saw Mia and Connor together, I thought;I want that.

I want messy and hot and passionate and...

The heat at my core flares to life again and I clench my pussy, wriggling to relieve the pressure. I hear a moan and open my eyes to take in Decker’s huge body lying beside me. He’s still shirtless and wearing a pair of low-slung jeans.
