He fought me, gripping my wrists. There was no way I could fight him,no way I could win.
“I’M NOT TAKING YOU BACK TO THE ORDER!”
I froze, heavy breaths sawing through my chest until they burned. “You’re not?”
He released his hold and lifted his weight from me. “No, I’m not.”
I turned, looking at him over my shoulder, and taking in lungfuls of air. “Then where…the fuck…are you taking me?”
A savage growl filled the room. “I’m taking you to Ryth.”
I spun around, sat in the middle of the bed, and stared at him.“Ryth?You’re taking me to seeRyth?”
He just stared down at me with that stony glare, brushing back the stray strands of his hair with a swipe of his hand. “You now have two minutes, Vivienne. I suggest you hurry.”
He was taking me to see Ryth?I’d never moved so fast in my life. I didn’t care that I’d just watched her and her brothers attack a man like a pack of wild beasts. Killion deserved to die a painful death after what he’d done to her. I only wished I’d been there to help.
I raced to the closet, yanking the lace nightgown over my head. “I need the light, London!” I snapped, not caring that I was naked.
Click.
The soft white glow illuminated the room. He stood there watching as I yanked on panties and a bra, my hands shaking as I fumbled with the hooks at my back. I didn’t care anymore that he watched me. There was no privacy when it came to London. I was starting to learn that the hard way. I pulled on a soft caramel cashmere sweater and cream-colored slacks, then slipped into heels because that’s all he fucking gave me. “Okay.” I jerked my frantic gaze to him. “Okay.I’m done.”
One brow rose. “All that in less than a minute. I’m impressed.” He stepped away from the wall and motioned toward the door. “You run from me and I’ll—”
“I’m not going to run, London.” I held his stare, lowering my voice. “You know that.”
He gave a nod, then turned and strode out of my bedroom with long, commanding strides, making me hurry to catch up. We were down the stairs in an instant, heading through the house to the garage. My stomach clenched when I scanned the garage and saw the black Mercedes he’d abducted me in.
But he didn’t head to that. Instead, he lifted his hand and aimed the remote at a sleek black Audi parked next to it. “Get in,” he commanded…
And I didn’t have to be told twice.
I climbed in and yanked the seatbelt across, clasping it as London started the engine and hit the button for the garage door. We tore away from the house in an instant, hit the bottom of the driveway, and accelerated hard as we raced through the night.
My mind was a mess, trying to put it all together. Had I misjudged London somehow? Was he actually…the good guy in all this and not the asshole I thought he was?My stomach sank at the thought. Maybe I had him all wrong?Shit…shit shit shit.What an idiot. I’d been fighting him this entire time and he’d beenwhat? Spying. Scheming. Finding a way for me to escape with Ryth?
Excitement took hold.
“London…” I turned to him in the soft wash of the dashboard lights.
But that’s all that came out. The words froze in the back of my throat, lodged there with the memory of his hands…and the way he looked at me. He was the good guy here. Still, I couldn’t stop a ripple of fear from shaking me as I turned my head. My pussy clenched as my gaze traveled from the rolled sleeves of his black shirt to the faint silvering of hair at the edge of his temple. The man was old enough to be my father and savage enough to be my tormentor.
“Keep looking at me like that, Vivienne, and I might just pull this damn car over to the side of the road and make use of that perfect mouth of yours.”
Heat burned in my cheeks. I swallowed the burn, refusing to let him see how much he’d rattled me. “Do that and I might just fight you every step of the fucking way.”
He just smirked and changed gears in a seamless transition. “Defiant just enough to keep things interesting and yet aching to be submissive,” he murmured as he glanced my way, then said with utmost certainty. “One day, Vivienne, you will choke on my goddamn cock…and you’ll fucking love it.”
That heat seared in my cheeks. I jerked my gaze away and turned to the darkened city streets as I fought the need to lick my lips. I swallowed as I wondered what he might taste like…and how he’d look as he loomed over me, those chilling, empty eyes pinning me in place while he fucked good and hard.
Oh God…oh God.I clamped my hand between my thighs. He noticed, then turned back with a smirk.Fucking asshole.How the fuck had I ever thought he was anice guy?He wasn’t a nice guy, even if he was turning me loose to run with Ryth. London was a goddamn snake.
He turned, accelerated hard, and turned again. I scanned the buildings around us. It didn’t matter how many streets I tried to memorize, I didn’t know this city at all. I didn’t know how long we drove for, but we seemed to find our way to some back street behind an old apartment building.
London slowed the Audi, then pulled into a gated underground parking garage. One that was locked, except for one section that seemed like it had been left open for us alone. I gripped the armrest, then flinched as he turned sharply and braked hard, swung in the pitch-black gloom, and parked.
The engine died in an instant, leaving atick, tick, tickbehind. London didn’t speak as he climbed out and closed the door behind him. Then he was gone, leaving me to release my seatbelt and reach for the door handle. But it opened before I had a chance to pull the lever.
