Logan’s life was on the line right now, and I knew that if I ever had any love for him, I needed to get him out of here.
“I think you’re making the lady uncomfortable.”
“Am I?” The devil questioned, still staring into my eyes. “Am I making you uncomfortable, Clarice?”
Pulling away from him, I turned to Logan. “You need to go.” Walking past him and Kieran, I opened the front door.
Cautiously approaching me, he kept his eyes on Creed, and Kieran. “Who is this guy, Reese? Are you in any danger with him? I can call the police and have him taken away right now if you want.”
Needing to get him gone, I did my best to assure him that I was safe with my devil. “I’m fine, really. Look, Logan, you, and I don’t have a future. We never did after what happened. You need to just move on and find someone else, ok? I have. With him.” I motioned in the devil’s direction, noticing the satisfaction gleaming in his eyes when I did.
With one last glare in Creed’s direction, he turned to me. “I’ll always regret what I did to you, Reese. I hope you know that.”
Not really having any feelings on the subject any longer, I just nodded. “I do. Goodbye, Logan.”
“Goodbye, Reese.” Leaning down, he kissed me on the cheek.
“By a thread,” my devil gritted out in warning.
Shutting the door behind Logan, I turned to Kieran. “Can you please give us some privacy?”
He looked at his boss for confirmation that he wasallowedto grant me my request. With a slight nod in his direction, Kieran left the room.
Folding my arms over my chest in defiance, I walked back into the living room. “What are you doing here and how the hell did you get into my house?” I asked before the idea of what had really been happening came to me. “Were you watching me?”
He only stared at me for a moment before he took a seat and spread his arms out over the back of the couch, making himself comfortable. “You left your front door unlocked. Besides, we’re together so wouldn’t it be normal for me to just let myself in?”
“You know damn well I just said that to get him to leave. And what about the other part? Were you spying on me?”
Looking straight ahead at the wall, seeming to gather his thoughts, he took in a deep breath and rose up off of the couch, stalking closer to where I stood. “I need you to come with me.”
I unfolded my arms, so I had a chance to flee if needed from this situation that was twisting in a direction I didn’t see going my way. “No.”
His eyebrows raised in question. “No?”
“No,” I hissed defiantly. We were in a face off, and I wasn’t budging. This devil had rode in on his dark horse and tossed my life on its nose with his antics, and I wasn’t having any more of it. I motioned towards the front door. “Now if you would kindly see your intrusive, spying ass out, I can get back to my quiet evening I was having before you two showed up.”
The moment I saw the smirk begin to appear on his lips, I should have run, knowing I was in for more trouble than I had bargained for. But my stubborn ass wouldn’t allow me to cower in the devil’s presence.
Slowly, like a snake, he slithered closer before lashing out and pulling me in to his chest. “Normally I’d love to sit here, and have you sling more of those spicy insults of yours at me, but right now I need that mouth of yours to shut. Kieran,” he called out, causing me to look over my shoulder in the direction Kieran had walked away in earlier.
It was the moment of distraction he needed.
In the next second, I found myself snatched up and was now dangling over his shoulder. The action happened so fast; he hadliterallyflipped my world upside down. “What are you doing?” I screeched out, trying to prop myself up, then pounding on his back. “Put me down right now! I mean it! Put me down!”
Ignoring my outcries, he continued to have his conversation with Kieran when he walked back into the room. “Find her phone and send a text to Scarlett that she’s gone out for the night and won’t be back until tomorrow morning. Then stay parked outside and when she gets home, be the distraction to keep her mind off of my little vixen here’s whereabouts.”
“Happy to.”
“She’ll never believe you! She knows I hate going out! And Scar doesn’t even like you anymore, Kieran!”
“She may not like me, but she definitely loves what I do for her.”
“You’re such a pig! How dare you talk about her like that!” I was pissed off and trying to think of anything to get myself out of this situation. “I’ll scream when we go outside if you try to take me, and my neighbors will report you to the police for kidnapping me!”
“She has a point there,” Kieran agreed.
Seeing the first spark of hope that I could get myself out of this whole fucked up situation, I continued, “see! Now let me go!”
