He sits forward, bracing his palms on his muscular thighs so his inked fingers are on full display. “Why? Looking forward to it?”

My hearts sinks down to my hollowed out stomach.

“Nah, I’m not your type, am I?” he continues. “You like those pretty rich boys.”

Glancing pointedly around the insanely luxurious cabin of this car, I say, “Doesn’t seem like you’re hurting for money. Doesn’t seem like you’re a locksmith, either.”

“Hey, I’m a locksmith. I’m lots of things. A jack of all trades, I guess you could call me.”

“Is your name really John?”

“What do you think?” he answers.

“So what is it?” I ask. I don’t know why, I don’t really expect him to answer, but then he does.

“Arson.”

My eyebrows rise. “Because you’re someone who likes setting fires?”

“What can I say?” he says, giving up his intimidating position and relaxing in his seat. “Sometimes the shoe fits.”

“Is that your real name?”

He gestures in my general direction. “Are those your real tits?”

Instinctively, I cover my cleavage with one hand and frown. “Yes?”

He nods. “No wonder Cal’s so fucking obsessed with you.”

My heart skips a beat. “You… you know Calvin?”

“I know a lot of people.”

I sit on the floor, stunned by this revelation for longer than I probably should be.

Calvin told me he knew men who could kidnap me and bring me to him, I just… never thought that would actually happen.

I guess now at least I know where I’m going, and that I’m unlikely to be harmed before I get there. I know in my bones Calvin wouldn’t have sent this guy for me if he thought he might hurt me on the way to him.

“Why’d you say all that stuff back there? About me, about…”

Making me scream.

Arson shrugs. “Wanted to feel the guy out. Plus, abducting you makes more sense if I wanted to jam my cock down your throat, doesn’t it?”

Jesus, that’s blunt.

“But you’re not actually… going to,” I say, just to make sure.

He smirks. “Nah. Don’t worry. You’re not for me.”

“Just a package you’re delivering to some other lunatic?”

His smirk cracks into a ghost of a real smile. “Glad you understand.”
