“It might not come to that,” I whisper to myself. “Maybe the threat will be enough.”
I could threaten Owen, show him that I’m the one in control.
Force him to let me out of here.
I swallow hard, wondering if this is the right move for me.
I don’t knowwhatto do here, but if I have no choice.
I stuff the gun in the waistband of my underwear and start to shove the papers away because I definitely don’t want to be caught in this cupboard now.
If Owen finds out that I have even seen the gun, then everything might escalate.
I don’t want anything to get out of control until I know what I’m going to do.
Oh shit.
What was that?
I just heard a noise.
That was a car. Owen is back… I need to hurry the hell up and get out of his room.
My heart is absolutely racing as I finally slam the cupboard door closed, knowing full well that with the mess I’ve left in there, he will know I’ve been snooping through his things. But there’s nothing I can do about that now, so I race out into the living room.
The gun is pressing hard into my side, I definitely need to be careful that Owen doesn’t get too close to me.
I’m going to have to distract him somehow, in any way I can.
Ihaveto make sure Owen doesn’t find out about the gun.
SIXTEEN
OWEN
Urgh, fucking hell.
I think I might have gone overboard at the grocery store. I don’t know if two people need quite so much stuff.
But I have it now, and I just need to haul it inside.
“Emma, you there…”
Before I can even finish my sentence, Emma rushes over to me, her cheeks all red like she’s flushed from exercise or something.
I want to question her, but her mouth is on mine.
What the fuck?
The bags I’ve been gripping onto so hard slip through my fingers and crash to the floor as I automatically wrap my arms around her, kissing her right back.
I don’t knowwhatis happening here, but I fucking love it.
Her tongue invades my mouth, massaging mine.
I can feel an intense need from her. A desire so strong it makes my heart pound.
“You’re back,” she gasps breathlessly as she pulls away from me. “You were gone for ages.”
