“Nothing. I don’t want anything from you.”
“Then why are you stalking me?”
“Okay. I do want something from you, Sage. I want to look at you.”
“Why?”
“Because I know beauty when I see it. I like to look at beautiful things, and you, Sage, are beautiful.” Her eyes fill with tears, but I shake my head. That’s not what I want to see. “No tears. I don’t like tears, Sage.” She blinks rapidly and reaches up to wipe her eyes, almost as if she wants to please me. That alone makes me harder than I was. I start to step away from her, lowering my hand when she counters my step. I raise an eyebrow, wondering what she’s doing. She’s braver than usual, and I don’t know how much I like that. She grabs my face in her hands, pulling me toward her. I grin and shake my head.
“Are you telling me I can’t kiss you?”
“That’s exactly what I’m telling you.” Shock is written all over her face as she drops her hands and steps back. Then I see the confusion in her eyes. I roughly grab her cheeks, pulling her face toward mine. She swallows hard.
“If I kiss you, Sage, there’s no going back. What I’ll do to you, there’s no stopping it, and believe me, you won’t like what I want to do to you.”
“What do you want to do to me?”
“Bad things, Sage. Very bad things.” She licks her lips, and I watch her tongue move over them. I can’t fucking stop myself. I pull her face to mine, and I kiss her. I let my lips collide with hers, and it’s everything I thought it would be. She tastes like fucking heaven on my tongue. I deepen the kiss, tasting her, needing her, wanting her. Then I hear Juno whistling as he comes toward us. I pull away, breaking our kiss as Sage gasps for air. I release her face and step back, nodding toward the house.
“Go inside,” I tell her. She shakes her head as I scrub my hand over my face. Juno comes to stand next to the car, chuckling.
“Should I give you some time?”
“No. Sage, go inside,” I order this time. My tone should say it all. She huffs out a breath, turns on her heel, and walks back toward the house.
“What was that?”
“I’m going to say something you might not like, Juno.”
“What? What is it?”
“Something we’ve never done before.”
“Which is?”
“Something I can’t stop thinking about.”
“Spit it the fuck out, Ares.”
“Kidnapping.”

Juno hasn’t questioned me much over the last few days about what I said in the car. He has made a few points but hasn’t tried to talk me out of it until now.
“I just don’t think it’s wise, Ares,” he tells me.
“Why not?”
“What do you plan on doing with her?”
“Keeping her in the basement.”
“In the basement? Are you serious?”
“Why not? Everything she needs is there,” I remind him. He runs his hand through his hair as he looks at me. Now he knows I’m truly insane.
“Okay. Forget that for now. Your father will be home in a few days, and you still haven’t found a woman to present to him.” That thought has crossed my mind more than once as well. What Juno doesn’t know is I will present Sage as the woman. He must see the look in my eyes as I look at him. He shakes his head.
