Using the remote, I flick through the channels on the TV with little interest. Everything is in Italian, and I’m not in the mood to try and work out the plot of a film in a language I don’t understand. The champagne is flat and warm, but it doesn’t stop me from drinking it. Raising the glass to my lips, I take a sip. It buzzes through my veins as my fury churns. Not only am I Kay’s prisoner, but the sweet old lady has become my jailer. I don’t understand how Laura can justify him keeping me here against my will. Then again, as I learned earlier, there’s a ruthless steel behind her fragile appearance.

Spending the late afternoon helping her clean the rest of the flat, she’d diverted all of my probing questions on Kay’s sudden disappearance. Keeping me busy and chatting about her family, she’d effectively kept me distracted until dinner time. Alessandro had been busy installing the TV in the bedroom. I only realize now it was a small mercy to give me something to do. After a subdued meal of pasta, I’d been ushered into the bedroom with no other option but to comply. Laura had told me to trust Kay and his decisions before locking me in.

Clicking off the screen, I lay the remote beside me on the mattress.

How can she expect me to trust him? Stay timid and submissive with my life at stake? He’s given me no pledge that he’ll let me leave when this all ends. Kay may be physically drawn to me as I am to him, but lust doesn’t guarantee my safety.

Sealed in tightly, I have no way to get to the front door. The drop from the window is sheer, and I’m not foolish enough to find a pipe to climb down. They’re also secured shut with no key. Getting anyone’s attention across the street has been impossible. I’ve found nothing useful in the room. Kay’s backpack I’d riffled through had only contained clothes, a toothbrush, the handcuffs and duct tape he’d already used on me. It has left me wondering if he intends to restrain me again. Shifting my legs under the blanket, my arousal at the thought distracts me. Maybe it’s the danger that I find exciting. Kay is a bad boy in all sense of the word. There’s no denying he’s handsome with piercing brown eyes that can make me melt under his stare. Sexy, broody, insufferable. I haven’t met a man like him before.

Downing the contents of my glass, I refill it with more champagne. I don’t want to waste it. At least I can pretend I did make it to my hotel. That I’m basking in luxury and relaxing. The giggle that seeps from my lips sounds hysterical to my own ears. Who the hell am I kidding?

The sound of a key turning in the lock has me stowing my glass on the bedside table. Blankets swathed around me like a shield, I wait in silence for Kay to enter.
