He’d had the same smile, right before it started.
Right before he told the Bull what to do to me and got off on watching me being whipped.
I’d held his gaze until I lost consciousness.
Damn.
I suppressed my thoughts and slipped out of the room and into the empty entrance hall.
I needed to function, and if I thought about what had happened, I couldn’t.
I crossed the room, the marble floor cold against my bare feet and was almost at the heavy entrance door when I felt eyes on me.
I looked over my shoulder.
Sure enough. There he was.
Watching me.
Silently.
And his eyes…
His eyes I could feel on me like a physical caress, even from across the room.
Then he crossed the room in huge strides. The way he moved, all fluid and soundless—like a black panther in the night.
I couldn’t take my eyes off of him, couldn’t move until he stopped next to me.
And opened the door.
I stared at him. Was he helping me escape?
Suddenly, he grabbed my forearm, and I shrank back. “Wha—”
“What do you think you’re doing?” The Ape’s booming voice thundered through the room.
I froze.
But the blue-eyed devil didn’t hesitate, didn’t let go of my arm either. “I thought I’d sample the goods. Isn’t that why she’s here?” he said in perfect English.
I stared at him, but he didn’t look at me. Instead, his intense focus was on my tormentor.
“No, that’s not why she’s here.She’s mine. And only here to serve my guests.”
I shivered.
The blue-eyed devil squeezed my arm, then let go. “My bad, then.”
He closed the heavy entrance door right in front of my face.
And my heart sank with the resounding click reverberating through my skull.
So close to freedom.
So close to getting out of the house. Once out of here, I had a real chance to escape.
Both men waited for me to go back into the dining room, and when I passed my tormentor, he grabbed my shoulder and gouged—right where the bullet had grazed me.
