SIXTEEN

We were in the car for hours. By the time they told us we were close to our destination, it was dusk. The scenery changed from dirt and palm trees to luscious green and humid climate. I was sure it was a jungle that we were nearing, and I was also convinced we weren’t supposed to go off-road into it, but I wasn’t surprised when they did it anyway.

The deeper we navigated inside, the more secluded it became. I kept playing with my fingers, my nails digging into my palms, letting the pain remind me that it would all be okay.

Just as I was beginning to feel a bit calm, censored lights turned on, revealing a house right in the middle of it all. It was vast, with two floors and a beautiful roof made from adobe.

The men in front got out first; they opened the door for us since they had child-locked us in the car. Instead of going out my door, where one of the men was smirking at me, I went out the same door Bastian had exited. When he extended his hand for me to take it, I didn’t hesitate, and it wasn’t until my feet touched the floor that I realized I wasn’t as scared of him anymore.

The guy Bastian had called Lobo began to speak to us once more.

“Julian comes back tomorrow night. In the meantime, make yourself at home,” he told Bastian as he eyed me.

“She’s off-limits,” Bas told him with an edge to his voice.

The guy smirked.

“You’ll kill me over pussy?” he mocked.

“No, I will,” I replied.

He found this amusing.

“You cult bitches sure are crazy,” he mumbled as he walked away.

Okay, so he was going to leave us here without showing us around? That was bullshit. It didn’t seem to matter because Bastian began walking toward the front door and just opened it as if it were his house. Since I wasn’t stupid, I followed closely behind him.

The house was beautiful and vibrant. If I had not lived with Xander for all those years, I would have been amazed for someone like Julian to have a place like this, but I learned that powerful, corrupt men loved to be surrounded by beautiful things.

I followed Bastian to the left side, and he went to a corridor and down a set of stairs. The air felt a little moist. The lower we descended, the more unease I began to feel. The last door he opened was dark, and I gulped.

What if he had promised them something for his life, and that something was me?

I took a step back as he turned on the light and realized it was a wine cellar. My heart eased a bit. I didn’t go in but stood in the doorway and watched as Bastian grabbed a bottle, opened it, and proceeded to drink.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

“I usually celebrate with pussy, but this will do,” he replied.

“Celebrate what?” I scrunched my nose.

“Not dying.”

He had a point. He stopped drinking, and my eyes went to his lips.
