My head felt too heavy for my shoulders and my eyes just wouldn’t stay open anymore. I tried to tell him to take me anyway. There was still a chance I would remember it, but my mouth wouldn’t work. I was slipping into the darkness, and I had to hope my handsome pirate was waiting for me when I woke up.

“What is she saying?” Red asked.
I hung my head in exasperation. “She thinks I’m a pirate.”
“Why?”
“Because she drank from someone’s bottle in the two seconds I was gone,” I snapped.
“Whoa,” he burst out laughing. “Doesn’t she know better?”
“Apparently not.” I glanced around at the ship of savages. I couldn’t trust any of them, especially not after they tried to drug her just minutes after stepping onto the ship. “We need eyes on her at all times. No one leaves her alone for even a minute. Got it?”
He nodded. “Where are we going to put her?”
It was way too fucking hot to leave her on deck, but I didn’t want her out of sight. If she was below deck, something could happen, and I wouldn’t know about it. Even if my guys were with her, something could still happen. We were on a boat filled with men that were out for whatever they could get.
“She’ll have to stay up here.”
“Hey!” Fox walked up, slapping me on the back.
I slowly turned and shot him a death glare. “This is all your fucking fault.”
“What? The fact that I rescued you?”
“She’s drunk already,” I snapped, pointing at where Sarah was rocking on the deck. “And there was something besides alcohol in that drink. She thinks I’m a fucking pirate.”
Fox tossed back his head, pressing the heels of his palms to his eyes. “No way! That’s so crazy!”
I grabbed him by the collar and swung him around to the edge of the boat. “That is not so crazy. That is fucking unacceptable! What the fuck would you have done if someone did that to Anna?”
He nodded seriously. “Right, I see where you’re going with this. We need to kill them all and toss their bodies overboard. I have this great way to make it look like they all died in a fiery explosion at sea.”
“Except we need the boat,” I gritted out. “How did you find these guys anyway?”
He glanced over his shoulder and then back to me. “Yeah, me and Emilio go way back. He’s my buddy.”
“Then why would you want to kill him?”
“Well…I guess he’s not that good of a buddy.”
I rubbed my hand across my forehead. “Fox, just how well do you know this guy?”
“Um…I said,Hey, buddy. Can I get a ride on your boat?”
“Wait, so you don’t actually know him?”
His wide grin set me off. I knew the moment I saw Fox, this wouldn’t be the cakewalk I had hoped for.
“How well do we really know anyone? It’s actually a pretty funny story. See, I was talking with Cash about how I tracked you down. It wasn’t hard.”
“I know,” I snapped, shoving my arm at him. “I have a fucking tracker in my arm!”
“Exactly! That’s what I said to him when I found you, but he was more interested in the fact that I had taken over a spy satellite to find you. Can you believe that?”
