Chapter Seven

Jody struggled with the ties as Seth fiddled with his laptop in the corner. After returning to the cabin, he’d promptly led her back to the bed, stripped off her T-shirt, and tied her up again, saying he needed to do something and he couldn’t worry about her trying to escape. She’d tried to convince him she wouldn’t go anywhere, but he didn’t buy the lie. Dammit.

She heard voices coming from the computer, and she listened as Seth replied. After a few moments, it became clear he was talking to his brothers via a web link. She tried to block out their conversation, using Seth’s distraction to work herself free from the ties binding her to the bed. Lucky for her, Seth wouldn’t do anything to hurt her, so he hadn’t tied them as tightly as she suspected he really could have.

Her ears perked up when she heard one of Seth’s brothers talking about racy letters from a woman named Lucy. Typical men.

She tried to bite her tongue, but failed. “Tell your brothers it’s not nice to kiss and tell. Well, I suppose this Lucy did, but sharing a note with a lover is different than tossing those fantasies to a pack of rabid, ungrateful, fickle cowboys.”

“Who the hell was that?” a voice said from the computer.

Jody got excited. His brothers could hear her. “Only the cowgirl your fucking asshole brother is keeping prisoner in this godforsaken shack. Will someone please call 911?”

Seth grinned as he glanced over his shoulder at her. “Don’t make me gag you, darlin’.”

Another voice came from the computer speakers. “Holy shit. What is that in the background? Do I see pretty ankles tied to the end of your bed, Seth?”

“I’m Jody Kirkland. My dad is your brother’s boss. He’ll probably also be the man to murder this piece of shit, arrogant, limp dick when he finds out what he’s up to.” She knew her threat wasn’t true, but his brothers didn’t.

“I’ll give you arrogant, but I’m guessing Seth’s anything but a limp dick right now, honey.”

Jody rolled her eyes at the comment. Great. So much for the cavalry coming to save her. Seth’s brothers were as cocky as him.

“Argh! You’re all alike. I can’t believe there are really four of you. Thank God you spread yourselves out. No state should have to house that many Compton Brothers. Especially if you’re all as dense as Seth.”

“I like this girl,” another voice chimed in.

“So you’re calling the police?” She thrashed her legs hoping it might strike some chivalrous bone in one of the men.

“I don’t think my mom would appreciate Seth missing out on the next ten Christmases because he’s in jail. Sorry, honey. I bet he could help you make the most of the situation.”

“You’re all bastards. Every one of you. Asshats!”

Seth shook his head and his exasperated groan spoke volumes. “Jody. Give me two minutes. Then we’ll talk, okay?”

She bit her tongue, only because it was clear none of Seth’s brothers intended to help her.
