Not needing it just yet, I tuck my knife away.
My large palm clamps down on her mouth, my thumb and forefinger pinching her nose closed. Let’s wake her up. I reach over with my other hand, grab the abandoned wine, and pour it over her face.
Warm red wine trickles down the back of my gloved hand. The woman beneath my hold starts to shake her head—slowly at first, then frantic. She struggles, her hands shoving and hitting out at my chest. Her movements are sloppy. She’s drunk, and I’m bigger. This won’t end well for her, and she knows it.
“Do I have your attention?”
When she doesn’t respond, I repeat myself.
“Do I have your attention?”
Her head bobs.
“Good. You will answer my questions quickly and quietly. If anything other than that leaves your mouth, my hand returns to where it is now. A third time and I will not lift my hand until you stop breathing. Am I understood?”
She nods frantically, her watery eyes bulging.
Good.
“Lulu, where is she?”
I lift my hand slowly, hovering it over her mouth.
“I don’t know,” she rushes.
“Are you her mother?”How angry will my girl be when I kill her?
Sneering, the woman on the bed nods.
No love lost there, then. I raise a brow at her silent answer. How did Lulu come from this and still be so caring and sweet to a strange child?
“The man at the store, who is he?”
“My husband. Please don’t hurt us. You can take what you want,” she cries.
Some people just have to learn the hard way.I roll my eyes.
My hand clamps down, my thumb and forefinger gripping her nose again.
Now, it’s my turn to sneer.
Satisfaction and arousal course through me as she struggles. Her fingers clutch at my covered shoulders, her eyes pleading.
Only when I know that her lungs are burning do I let go.
“I ask questions; you answer. That’s it,” I snap.
Too busy gasping, she doesn’t respond.
“Where is Lulu?” I try again.
“I don’t know. The bitch ran off again,” she sobs between gulping breaths.
My body tenses at her words.
“What the fuck happened downstairs?”
I’m shaking with anger before I even have my answer.
