“Move.” The grip around the back of my neck clenched tighter, driving me forward.
“You don’t have to…”
“Shut the fuck up and walk.”
He drove me forward, past the poker tables and the naked women, toward the darkened bedrooms.
“At the end of the hall.”
I turned with the pressure of his thumb and stumbled forward into the darkness of the bedroom before I was pushed.
My heels clattered as I tried to catch my fall. The light flared, filling the room with soft amber light.
“What the hell,” I gasped as something sailed through the air and landed on the bed next to me.
Something that filled me with terror.
Something from my past.
I stared at the white mask facing up at me, my world spinning out of control.
“You think they’d just let you come without being watched?”
I jerked my gaze to the guy standing against the doorjamb. He was tall…gorgeous, with eyes that shone with malice.
“Who the fuck are you?”
He just smiled. “Your new boyfriend, didn’t you know?”
Boyfriend?“No.”
His killer smile sickened me. He strode forward, grabbed me around the throat, and whispered, “You will do as I say, Katerina.”
“Kat,” I spat through clenched teeth. “Andget your fucking hands off me.”
“You think I don’t know your every dirty little secret? You think I won’t go out there and expose you to the entire penthouse filled with people? You actually came here thinking you could escape someone like Haelstrom? You really are a stupid fucking cunt.”
My heart hammered, fear and rage a noxious cocktail in my veins.
“You want to hit me?” He smiled and moved closer, so close I saw the amber of his stare. “Try it and see how far you get.”
He lifted a hand, moving faster than I could see as he gripped my jaw and clenched, forcing my mouth open.
“Stop it!”I roared.“Get the fuck OFF ME!”
The moment I opened my mouth, he dropped something inside. One lungful of air, and I swallowed and coughed.
“There,” he sneered. “That should make you a little more compliant.”
Fear plunged deep, cutting through me like an arctic wind. I sucked in a breath and jerked my gaze to his. “What the fuck was that?”
He just shoved me away, smiling.
“What the fuck did you just give me?”I stumbled backwards and whipped my gaze toward the bathroom.
I need to throw up.
I need to throw up.
