Chapter Eleven

Keeping a calm while in the company of the crewman proved to be one of the most difficult things Jeannie had ever done.

His gaze kept wandering over her exposed skin where she had undone the zipper to her wetsuit. It took a lot of willpower to keep from zipping the suit closed. She didn’t want to make him suspicious. He’d brought her to the control room and spoken in a language she didn’t recognize. Four men turned their attention on her. None wore uniforms but they did have matching amulets hanging around their necks.

“Sorry, I hate to be an inconvenience but I was on board when you pulled away from the resort and I was wondering if you could bring me back.”

The largest of the men crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. “Who can we contact at the resort that might be worried by your absence?” He had a silver pen behind his ear. It reminded her of her dad as he’d built furniture in his workshop. Except his version had been a pencil.

Well, wasn’t that a loaded question. Did she give them a name so they worried about the authorities being called or tell them the truth? Nobody would notice her disappearance except their prisoner. How had she and Hack bonded so quickly over a few days?

She had friends who dated the same guy for years and still wouldn’t risk their lives for their boyfriends like she was doing. Some of those men didn’t deserve it either but Hack did. He’d treated her as if the universe orbited around her, he’d gone out of his way to spend time with her, and made her feel beautiful. There was a bond between them. Something she couldn’t explain and it wouldn’t let her abandon him.

He wouldn’t if their roles were reversed. Hell, he’d followed her into the ocean just to prove he was telling her the truth.

“Management will worry about me if I don’t check in soon. I went on a diving trip and they don’t realize I’ve returned.” It was all a lie. The resort didn’t care, but she had to buy them time.

The captain pressed his lips together before speaking in that other language to the crew. Then to her, he said, “They will bring you to a room to wait until we return to the resort.”

She beamed, knowing he was lying right back to her. The gleam in the other three men’s eyes told her they had no intention of turning the ship around. “As for my lost passport?” She had to make this realistic and keep up the act.

“No passports have been found.”

“Can I search my old room?”

He sighed and signaled the crewman who had found her.

“Follow me,” the crewman took her upper arm and guided her out of the control room. “The captain is not pleased by your presence.”

“I’m not happy about my presence either.” She tugged free of his hold. “I shouldn’t have been able to get on board the ship so easily. It’s not my fault.
