“That’s what it looks like,” Sebastian said, shrugging it off while Mikey sat there, really struggling not to panic as her gaze darted to her bedroom door and-
“You’ll never make it,” Sebastian said, sounding bored as he tossed his bag on the bed to join the flashlight.
“I know,” Mikey mumbled weakly, swallowing hard as she slowly, ever so slowly, moved closer to the edge of the bed, never taking her eyes off the teenage boy who had clearly lost his mind since the last time that she saw him and-
“I didn’t want to have to do it this way, but honestly, I think it’s for the best,” Sebastian said conversationally as though he wasn’t currently slapping a piece of masking tape over her mouth.
Keeping her legs gently pinned beneath his, Sebastian tossed the roll of masking tape on her bed and grabbed his bag while she lay there seething in ways that she’d never seethed before. “I actually saw this playing out in my head differently, but I think this is better, don’t you?”
When she frantically shook her head, Sebastian nodded as though she’d happily agreed with him. “I considered using zip ties, but that seemed a bit much to me,” he murmured absently, making her eyes widen as they shot to his bag in time to watch him pull out several strips of what she was guessing had once been a sheet and began securing her wrists together.
“I could have used rope, I suppose, but I think this works,” Sebastian said conversationally as he finished securing her hands together before he shifted his attention to her legs.
For a moment, he debated his options as her gaze flickered to her door, willing Reese to come back in here with another excuse simply so that she could call him ‘Daddy,’ which she had to admit pleased her greatly. He’d really taken the news that she didn’t want to be adopted better than she’d thought he would, Mikey thought only to frown when some slight jostling drew her attention back to the problem at hand.
The psychotic boy who would be forced to live in fear after this day, wondering if this was the day that she hunted him down and-
Tore a grunt from her once he finished securing her ankles together and sliding her feet into her bunny slippers before he pulled her off the bed so that he could throw her over his shoulder like she didn’t weigh anything. She was definitely going to hobble him, Mikey decided, nodding against his back as he carried her to the window and after some jostling, he shifted her off his back and handed her off to-
Braxton?
“Everything’s there,” Braxton said, shifting her in his arms as he stepped back so that Sebastian could finish climbing out of the window.
“Jonathan?” Sebastian asked, taking her from the teenage boy ignoring her glare.
“Still chewing through his gag, but Elizabeth’s keeping an eye on him,” Braxton explained as he shrugged it off like it was the most normal thing in the world.
“I owe you one,” Sebastian said as he made his way to the edge of the roof and-
Tore a muffled scream from her when he suddenly released her. Willing her heart to stop slamming against her chest, Mikey shot a terrified look at Mathew as he adjusted her in his arms and-
“It never would have worked out between us,” he said with a sad shake of his head, making her frown in confusion as he handed her back to Sebastian as soon as his feet hit the ground.
“She does seem devastated by the news,” Sebastian said as he threw her over his shoulder.
“She does, doesn’t she?” Mathew murmured as she glared at Sebastian’s back.
He was going to pay for this, Mikey decided with a firm nod, only to end up swallowing hard when he started moving. Really wishing that he hadn’t gagged her so that she could talk him out of doing whatever it was that he was doing, she began debating her escape plans.
She could wiggle her way to freedom, but since that would end with her falling face-first on the driveway that he was currently carrying her over, Mikey decided that it would probably be in her best interest if she waited for him to set her down before she made her move. She-
“Now, where were we?” Sebastian asked as he made his way to the road.
“Ew er ettin ee oh,” Mikey mumbled against the tape currently covering her mouth.
“Jonathan said that I should just tell you, but I really didn’t want to take that risk and since there was a chance that his follow-up advice would have ended with you breaking my nose, I decided to bide my time, which is why I’ve been working my ass off so much,” Sebastian explained, somehow managing to confuse her even more.
“For the past few months, I’ve been debating how I was going to pull this off. It probably wouldn’t have taken me this long, but I know how much you like to be spoiled,” Sebastian continued, leaving her with no choice but to nod in agreement since being spoiled was her weakness.
“I considered asking you to the gala, but that just didn’t work for me,” Sebastian said, making her swallow hard. “I also considered paying for your training camp and telling you over dinner, but your parents already paid for it. That’s when I figured out the perfect plan, which, unfortunately, left me with no choice but to grab more hours wherever I could,” he explained as she turned her head and spotted signs for the park.
“It took some time, but I managed to get my hands on tickets for a Yankees-Red Sox game at Fenway,” Sebastian said, instantly making her perk up at the promise of a baseball game, that is, until he followed that up with, “But that’s really not going to work for me since the game’s in September.”
And just like that, she was back to glaring again.
“I was going to drag this on until then, but after today, I decided that this has gone on for long enough,” Sebastian said with a heavy sigh, and with that, he carefully placed her down on a bench and had her swallowing hard as she took in the scene before her. While he pulled the cloth strips off her ankles and wrists, Mikey took in the candles forming a circle around the pitcher’s mound, the white rose petals sprinkled over the mound and-
“What are we doing here?” Mikey asked as soon as the tape was pulled off her mouth.
