Chapter 18. Skye – Danger

Woods had to leave for his Court appointment early that morning. It was a relief to have a little time before I had to face him. I hadn’t slept well that night, tormented by shame. My body still tingled from our encounter, the sexual frustration sometimes equaled the humiliation. We had both crossed the line last night, but he was the one able to take a step back. I was the hormonally driven, sex crazed woman who took off her clothes and climbed on top of him.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, I got up at the sound of the alarm. I put on my running clothes, laced up my trainers and crawled back into bed.

How could I have been so stupid? So weak? I curled into a ball on my huge bed, and tried to gather the will to look out the window to see if Dvorak was leaving the house.

I punched my phone to mute the alarm that told me it was time to leave the house and I stuffed it under my pillow. After he told me that he would leave early this morning, I should have cancelled the alarm, but I had other things on my mind at the time. I didn’t need Woods to spell it out for me that I should skip my morning jog with Dvorak while I was alone in the complex. We had worked out a warning system and I had him on speed dial with localization enabled so he could find me in a matter of minutes if anything went wrong. It would serve him right if I went running and Dvorak attacked me. I rolled my eyes at my own stupidity. Getting murdered to make Woods feel guilty was just about as stupid as I could get.

The door squeaked and I jumped to see why.

“All dressed up but not out running,” Leo Dvorak said.

He looked like he walked out of a men’s fitness magazine. He was a stunning specimen, a paragon of virility I would have found attractive in another context. In that particular situation, I felt only nausea and fear.

“What are you doing in my room?” I asked dumbly, but perfectly in character.

My service revolver was in the wardrobe, inside the underwear drawer. It was far out of my reach.

“I wanted to see you. I was worried when you didn’t show up.”

“I’m fine,” I said, stumbling over my own words. “I just didn’t feel like running today.”

“That’s okay. I don’t feel much like running either.”

“You shouldn’t be here. My dad is going to be back soon.”

He stalked closer to my bed with the grace of an enormous tiger. There was something feral peeking from behind his eyes. His whole body seemed built to hunt.

“No, he’s not,” he said without justifying why he thought so. “But I’m here. And I want to take care of you.”

Could I fight him off? Maybe my police training and my martial arts background would be enough
