“I don’t think so,” Mia said carefully.
“Suit yourself.” He shrugged, then turned and walked away.
Disappointment flooded through Mia when Frat Boy sat down and Mr. Dangerous disappeared out the front door.
“What an asshole,” Frat Boy said. “And what was up with all the tats? Talk about overkill, right?”
Shit.The seconds began ticking by and Mia bit her lower lip, wondering if she’d just made a mistake. The first man who’d caught her attention in a very long time just walked away after expressing interest in her. All because she was scared to take a chance.
Before she could think too hard about it, Mia downed the rest of her drink and stood up. “I have to go. Sorry.”
Hustling through the crowd, she told herself she was just going to go out and take a quick look around. Afterall, Nik was probably already gone. A man like that didn’t wait around and probably had a bottomless pool of willing women just waiting for him.
Throwing the front door open, she stepped out into the cool night and looked around the packed parking lot.Figures,she thought, her hopes deflating. Nik was gone and—
A shadow stepped out of the darkness, and before she realized what was happening, Mia was lifted up and tossed over a very broad shoulder. She cried out in surprise, her fingers grabbing onto a leather jacket, feet getting ready to kick some very uncomfortable places, when she realized it was Nik.
“Hey!” she squeaked, her surprise turning into shock. “Put me down!”
“I tried doing this the easy and polite way. You shut me down. So now we’re doing this my way.”
The initial thought he was only playing around quickly morphed into a cold trickle of fear. Maybe she shouldn’t have gone looking for him. Maybe he was exactly like he looked—trouble to his very dark core. “I’m going to scream!”
“I’m not going to hurt you. But, if you wanna scream, then go right ahead. Scream your bloody head off.”
As she bounced up and down against his back, she tried to twist around so she could see him better. He paused beside an SUV, opened the door and tossed her onto the back seat. Her fear skyrocketed.
Scrambling up, she turned and cried, “What are youdoing?”
“What’s it look like, Mia? I’m kidnapping you.”
Then he slammed the door shut in her face and the locks clicked ominously.
Oh, shit.
Epilogue
After sleeping in until after eight o’clock in the morning, a luxury she rarely allowed herself, Inda woke up wrapped around Lucas. She’d never felt so light, so free. Opening up to him about her past and expressing her love had healed her in a way she never thought possible.
Lucas’ eyes popped open and he caught her staring. But how could she not? He was the most ridiculously beautiful man she’d ever seen, and now he was all hers. When he smiled, she leaned in and kissed first one dimple then the other.
“What’s so great about my dimples?” he asked teasingly, pulling her closer so she lay sprawled on his chest. “I honestly don’t get the appeal.”
“They’re insanely sexy.” She licked one. “I’ve wanted to do that since the first time you smiled at me.”
“Don’t forget the other one.”
When she flicked her tongue along the other groove, his fingers threaded through her hair, urging her closer, and he began dropping kisses all over her face.
“What’re you doing?” She laughed, pulling back.
“You like my dimples and I love your beauty marks.”
“Ugh, they’re awful.”
“No way. I think they’re hot as hell.” After kissing each one twice, he captured her mouth in a slow, heated kiss.
“Do you think we have time to…” His voice trailed off as he began licking his way down her neck.
