He’s right. I know he is, but my whole body is on edge.
I need her. I need to lose myself in her. I need to feel her body against mine, to know that we are one, that we can win. That she’s still mine.
CHAPTERTHIRTY-THREE
Charlie
I sit in silence, ignoring Officer Fuckface, scowling at him whenever he has the nerve to talk to me.
“Listen, kid.”
Kid?He’s like thirty, tops.Prick.
Clearly unable to read the room, he continues unfazed by me ignoring him.
“I know you’re afraid of them boys, but I’m going to keep you safe.”
I scoff. He clearly has no idea who he’s dealing with. Daniel would crush him.
My eyes grow heavy, having been in the car for hours already.
“There’s a motel up ahead. We’ll stay there tonight and continue in the morning.”
“Where?” I ask, annoyed that I have to speak to him but wanting to know where he’s taking me.
“Back to your college. I figure it’s far enough away that by the time the Cromwells figure it out, you’ll have told me everything.”
I perk up at the news.
We pull into a typical-looking roadside motel. The sign flashes blue, the M staying dark.
I follow him blindly up the stairs, the wood creaking under my feet.
“You better have gotten two rooms,” I spit at him, glaring at his back. I know he did since I was in the office when he paid, but I feel the need to poke at him.
The dick raises his hand and jiggles two sets of keys.
“No making calls, no leaving. Don’t think I won’t arrest you if you even think about it,” he warns, opening the door. “I mean it, Charlie. I’ll throw you in jail along with your little boyfriend.”
I nod, stepping into the room. I close the door harshly when he tries to follow me in, but his foot blocks the frame.
“I need to check the room.”
“I think it’s safe unless some serial killer managed to guess which room I’d be in during the time it took you to barter for the cheapest rooms, of which you get the only double bed.” Yeah, asshat, I was paying attention.
Chastised, Cooper removes his foot, and I firmly close the door, sliding the lock in place and feeling like I can finally breathe for the first time in five hours.
I brace myself against the door and pray that the Cromwells have enough power to sort this out before it’s too late.
“Shh,” a voice warns.
I open my mouth to scream, but a hand traps the noise before I can let it out, while another hand lays itself over my own, entwining his fingers on the door.
Daniel! How the fuck?
The hand on my mouth moves to my hair. Gripping it, he pulls my head back onto his shoulder stretching my neck, something his mouth takes full advantage of.
I moan.
