“They had blood and vomit on them,” I whisper. “The jail took them.”
Darragh stares down at his phone and curses under his breath.
“Where can we get her new clothes?” he asks my lawyer.
“I’m right here,” I snap at Darragh. “Talk to me. I have clothes at home.”
“Home?” He lays a stare on me that withers my spine.
“A motel off the strip.”
His eyes flutter for a moment, then he reaches for me. “Let’s go.”
“I… I can go home?” I stare at my lawyer.
“Yep,” he says, rocking on his heels, relieved to be rid of me. “I’ll be in touch about your next court date.”
“I… I don’t have a phone.”
Darragh rolls his eyes.
“Here.” He hands something to my lawyer. “This is my business card. Call me.”
My lawyer tucks Darragh’s card away and says, “I’ll be in touch, Miss Michaels.”
He leaves, and Darragh glares at me with cold eyes.
A man in a suit stands behind him and whispers something I don’t hear. He leaves, too, looking over his shoulder at us.
It’s Darragh and me. Alone.
The weight of his gaze, cutting across all corners of my body, sends heat flaring low in my belly.
Christ… I’ve not felt anything close to arousal in so damn long.
What a time for my hormones to kick in.
But I can’t feel that way for Darragh. It’s wrong.
“Thank you,” I say softly.
“You’re welcome.” His piercing green eyes bore into mine. “Stasia.”
I shudder, realizing he only did this because of who I am. Who I really am.
“I’ve been going by Ana.”
“Your kidnappers just dropped you off here in Vegas?” He folds his arms, letting on he’s not that out of touch with Astoria gossip.
He’s just as dangerous as his brother, but I’m utterly captivated by him.
“I…” My eyes slip closed. “I wasn’t kidnapped.”
“I don’t know exactly who thinks what anymore, but your disappearance has caused a lot of grief for a lot of people in Astoria.”
“I know,” I say, even though I don’t know because Cormac cut me off from the world.
“When is your due date?” Darragh’s eyes stray to my stomach.
