A maddening thought suddenly rushes through me. Panic and excitement suddenly wars in my mind.

Is he going to kiss me?

“Wait …” I breathe.

He can’t kiss me. Because if he does, IknowI won’t want him to stop.

Even though he’d just killed a man in front of me, even though he’d justkidnappedme, I can’t help feel this dark attraction towards him.

Almost as if Iwanthim to show me just how far he can go.

To show me how farIcan go.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

But to my surprise and disappointment, he doesn’t kiss me. Instead, he reaches behind me—the weight and heat of his body temptingly cruel against mine—and in one smooth, practiced motion, frees my hands from their restraints.

As soon as my hands are free, I glance at the locked door.

“Go ahead, try.” He seems to be able to read my mind. “At this speed, the air pressure will make it almost impossible to open that door far enough before I pull you back in.”

And just like that, I know that there’s no way out.

“Let me out of this car,” I say quietly. My limbs suddenly feel heavy, and I know that it’s the adrenaline leaving my body. “Now.”

“I told you.” He shakes his head. “I can’t let you go anymore.”

Here it comes, he’s probably going to ask me again about what I’m doing in Olivia’s apartment.

However, he surprises me with a different question instead.

“Why did you leave?”

“What?” I gasp.

“Italy,” he says. “Why did you leave?”

Of all things he can ask me, he’s asking me about why I didn’t wait for him to come back?

I chew my lower lip. I have no good answers for him. Because as curious as he is about why I’m here, I’m equally curious about whathe’sdoing here.

“I can’t tell you that.”

“Don’t lie to me, Kitty Cat.” His expression darkens, and I feel need throbbing between my legs again.

Yep, I’m officially fucked in the head now. That’s the only explanation.

“It bothered you that I didn’t stay,” I say, my mouth working as fast as my brain. “Didn’t it?”

He doesn’t respond, and I have my answer.

“Why?” I ask.

“I’m the one asking questions here.”

I look away, but I can still feel his gaze peeling back the layers of my mind, everywhere and nowhere. I know there’s nothing and nowhere I can hide from him. I canhearhim in my head even as the two of us sit here in silence.

“Where are we going?” I break the silence.
