Her lungs constricted. She would absolutely think of him later tonight. But now that he was asking, she didn’t want to. She wanted to ignore his request just to piss him off.
“Answer me,” he growled.
Her eyes fluttered at the sound, and she pressed her body into the bars. Closer. She needed to be closer to him.
“I won’t make any promises.”
What had come over her? She’d never behaved like this, but something about him made her feel brave and unashamed to go after what she wanted. It was wrong, but she had an innate desire to please him despite.
She reached through the bars to touch his chest, but he backed up. He was dangling himself in front of her, close enough to torment but just out of reach.
“Not yet. All in due time,” he assured her. “I only want you to touch yourself tonight, Ali.”
Unbearable longing swelled between her thighs. She nodded in understanding.
“Good girl.” He winked and turned to leave. “Oh, and Ali?”
Her shoulders tensed, and she squeezed the bars, waiting for his next request.
He smiled when his eyes met hers. “I’m going to want a recap in excruciating detail.”
Her jaw went slack as he turned the corner and disappeared.

Chapter Eleven
Ali woke up with hair in a mess and blankets jumbled in a knot. She had done as Nik had asked and thought of him while touching herself last night after he had left. She had come several times before passing out, exhausted and overcome with gratification. She hadn’t been able to help herself. Every time she’d climaxed, she thought about Nik appearing at her cell and desire had pooled in her all over again.
Maybe it had been the boredom. Maybe it had been his piercing blue eyes and casual smile, the rumble in his voice.
She thought about the way he’d asked for details and squirmed in bed. She didn’t have time for this. Judging by the position of the sun, it was almost time for work. Someone would be at her cell any minute. Maybe it would even be Nik. She tensed, suddenly feeling uneasy about her salacious thoughts of him.
Hopping out of bed, she changed into her work clothes. She ran her fingers through her hair and smoothed it back into a braid, then brushed her teeth and dreamily replayed the image of sucking on Nik’s thumb. His eyes had been so intense. She could only imagine how intense they’d be if she were sucking his cock.
She gripped the side of the sink as another wave of hunger ripped through her abdomen. It was enough to bring her to her knees.
The rattle of her cell door snapped her out of it. She spit the water in the sink and wiped her hands on her pants.
“Time to go.”
Not Nik.
She didn’t even try to hide her disappointment.
Sam misunderstood her dismay. “Chin up. Trust me, there are worse jobs you could have. The greenhouse isn’t so bad. And there are worse guards you could be working with.” He continued as he unlocked the door and let her out, “I don’t think I’m that bad.”
She gave him a friendly grin. He was right. So far, Sam had been the kindest person she’d met here. He was incredibly polite. He said little, but he also didn’t sneer or look down on the prisoners either.
Sam led the way down the hall. “Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about Nik. He’s a bit of a hard ass. Always grumpy, too.”
Ali let out a soft laugh. There was a darkness to Nik, even while he was taunting her. She’d never been scared of the dark, though.
Sam continued to let out the members of their work group and they made their way to the greenhouses. Still no sign of Nik. Ali hated that she was disappointed. He had gotten her worked up the night before and then hadn’t shown up today. It was probably a trait of these villains in Rysburg. Setting expectations only to fall short of meeting them.
What was she doing? This was a total betrayal to her people. The light of day and cold air made it easier for her to see and think clearly.
“Are you all right?” Eli asked as she aggressively buried seeds. She was taking out her frustration on her assigned tasks. The poor crops had done nothing to her, but they were an easy punching bag. She threw the tiny specks into the hole she had dug and then covered it with dirt, packing it down tightly. Too tightly.
