Silvan holds my hand as he leads me through the Neiman Marcus at Copley Place.

We’ve been shopping for hours, and he has already bought me too many clothes I didn’t ask for—only the softest sweaters because he enjoys touching me so much and a pretty Versace dress with a price tag that made me feel ill. He’s taken note of the shoes I choose to try on, so I expect there will be more flats and fewer kitten heels in my future, though we made an exception today for a beautiful low heel at Jimmy Choo that I decided I could wear as long as I don’t have to walk too far.

He bought me bras and new underwear, too.

“I should probably buy you extra underwear,” he murmured teasingly, making me blush as the limo ride here played through my mind.

He cleaned me up in the limo with what we had available at the little bar, but I can still feel him between my thighs as we shop. I’ve had to be very careful trying things on so as not to dirty the clothes.

Not that it matters, I guess.

Everything I even slightly liked, he bought for me.

As we head for the exit doors with Silvan’s other hand full of stuffed shopping bags, he looks over at me and asks, “You getting hungry?”

It is around lunchtime, and we’ve definitely burned off breakfast. I look up at him and nod. “A bit. You?”

He nods. “There’s a really good burger spot not too far from here. Sound good?”

My mouth waters, so I take that as a yes and nod vigorously.

His eyes glint with amusement, and he leans over to steal a kiss before he opens the door for me.

“Such a gentleman,” I say lightly.

He ruinsthatillusion by grabbing my ass on his way to wrapping his hand around my hip to keep me close. “Oh yeah, I’m an angel. Don’t let anyone tell you different.”

Hugh is waiting for us on the curb. He opens the door for me and takes the shopping bags from Silvan. Once he’s done stowing all our purchases, he comes back to get our next location from Silvan, then dutifully closes the door and heads around to the driver’s side.

“So,” Silvan says, stretching out his arm on the seat behind me and making himself comfortable. “How is your first day of kidnapping?”

I nod as if considering. “Not bad. Definitely thought it would feel more murdery, but aside from all the blackmail and blatant coercion of yesterday, uh, yeah… been a pretty good experience. I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend—if I had any—but I’d probably come again.”

Silvan grins, grabbing my neck and pulling me in so he can kiss my smart mouth. “You’re the best, you know that?”

I can’t bite back a smile as I settle into his side after the kiss. “So you keep telling me. Keep it up and you’re gonna give me a big head.”

He kisses the crown of my head. “Your head can get as big as it needs to. I’m not gonna stop hyping up my girl.”

I shake my head, but I feel warm and happy all over. “You’re very different from the guys I’ve known before.”

He leans close. “Babe, you said ‘better’ wrong.”

I laugh, and he smiles. I shake my head because he’s crazy, but I like when he’s playful like this.

Today really feels like a day out with a guy I like. Definitely not how I saw today going yesterday, but Silvan is so easy to be with.

I mean, batshit crazy, but pretty excellent company. I don’t even like people, but I can’t deny I enjoy hanging out with him.

While I’m lost in my thoughts about the surprising good time I’m having with him, his thoughts seem to be on later.

“My dad will be home for dinner tonight, so we’ll eat with my parents again. That cool with you?”

My smile fades, but I nod. “Yeah.”

“I know you didn’t have the best time at breakfast. Sorry about him.”
