Chapter 15: Jessica

The landscape changes as Talon drives us deeper into the woods. I have no idea where we’re going, but there’s something about his strong presence that makes me trust him implicitly. The roar of the motorcycle’s engine soothes me. I don’t really understand why, but I feel like a baby being rocked to sleep.

“Almost there!” Talon’s voice carries through the speakers in my helmet.

When we finally stop in front of a small cabin nestled among the trees, I feel a sense of relief. It’s secluded and peaceful, the perfect hideaway. Talon hops off the bike and extends a hand to help me dismount.

“Welcome to our little sanctuary,” he says with a smile. “The motorcycle club owns this place. It’s perfect for times like these.”

“It’s tiny, but cute.” The small, wooden structure looks like a classic small cabin. There’s nothing distinct or special about it.

“Let me get Loki situated.”

While I wait for Talon to unbuckle Loki, I turn in a slow circle. We’re completely surrounded by woods, and it’s so silent I can hear small animals moving through the bushes.

As we walk inside, Talon points out a panic button on the wall next to the security keypad. “If anything happens, just press this. Matrix will send help right away.”

I nod, taking in the simple but cozy interior. Loki sniffs around, inspecting the well-worn couch before settling down in front of the fireplace. Talon rolls up his sleeves and begins building a fire, expertly arranging the logs and kindling.

“Even though it’s summertime, it’s going to get chilly once the sun sets,” he explains.

I’m fascinated by the precision of his movements, his strong hands deftly manipulating the materials. This isn’t the first time he’s done this. I wonder how much time he spends here.

Once the fire is crackling, Talon straightens up and looks out the window. “I want to gather some more firewood before nightfall. You’ll be okay here?”

“Uh, sure.”

I rub my forearms as he steps outside. Staying at the cabin alone, with only Loki to protect me, doesn’t sound like a good idea after what just happened in the parking garage. I decide to join Talon outside. The closer I am to him, the safer I feel.

“Do you need any help with the firewood?” I ask as I step into the cool evening breeze.

“Sure,” he grins, looking far too at ease wielding an axe. “Grab a pair of gloves from the kitchen, so you don’t hurt your hands.”

I glance down at my manicured nails. Normally, they’re pristine and chip-free. Not anymore. We cancelled my weekly appointment because Talon didn’t think it would be a good idea. He was right. The one time I decided to do anything other than go to work, the stalker managed to find me. He almost kidnapped me, too. I can’t believe how close he came to pulling it off.

After pulling on a pair of gloves, I head outside, ready for action. We work in companionable silence, gathering branches and fallen logs until we have a large pile.
