CHAPTER SIX

Jackson

The plane was still gaining altitude when Harley started trembling again, shaking so hard he would have thought she was having a seizure if he didn’t know better. But according to everything Hiro had told him, “Hannah” was in perfect health. It was her aunt who was frail.

So either she was truly scared out of her mind or she was faking it to elicit sympathy from the man who’d bought her. That would be like her. She was a master manipulator.

Until he’d met Harley, Jackson had been certain he could spot a con around a blind corner. His mother had majored in emotional manipulation at Brown and his sociopath father had taught him early on the importance of realizing when you were being worked like a puppet on a string. By age ten, Jackson was a master at spotting reverse psychology; by twelve, he’d perfected his poker face; and by his fourteenth birthday, he had a plan in place to escape his father’s influence: a con of his own Ian hadn’t seen coming until Jackson’s acceptance letter to an exclusive military boarding school showed up in the afternoon mail.

But despite all his experience with the care and feeding of sociopaths, Harley had still worked him like a player piano, arranging things so perfectly he’d practically conned himself.

Like that last night, when she’d promised to belong to him forever, fucked his heart from his chest and down to the floor to lie helpless at her feet, only to run away with his best friend a few minutes after Jackson had climbed out of her bedroom window. She had literally gone from coming on his cock to waltzing out the door with Clay moments later. He’d done that math. She had to have left her apartment no later than midnight in order to be driving down that particular stretch of highway at three in the morning.

But even after years of turning over various possible scenarios, he still had no idea exactly how she’d faked her death. That alone was enough reason not to underestimate her capacity for treachery. He couldn’t let down his guard or allow compassion to creep into his heart. He had to be on his toes and ready to beat Harley at her own game.

And he had a good idea how to start.

He leaned in, placing a gentle hand on her knee. She tensed and made a startled sound behind her gag, but after a moment, she settled beneath his touch. Her muscles remained tight, but she stopped shaking and held very still, clearly waiting for him to make the next move.

With a hard smile, he reached behind her, into her thick, soft hair, and untied her gag. He set it on the seat beside her before returning his hand to her knee, allowing his fingers to curl around the shapely muscle of her calf. “Is that better?”

She swallowed and swiped the back of one hand across her mouth before nodding a little too fast. “Y-yes. Thank you.”

She sounded so scared, so young and vulnerable.
