Chapter Eight

Dylan finished off the bag of jerky and dumped the wrapper in the trash. It was barely two in the afternoon, which left them about twelve hours to kill before he made his move. Although his gut reaction, and his wolf, were both telling him to leave when they had their chance, he also had to think about possible ways to get Ben out of there too.

Walking to the window, he pulled back the drapes and found that Tanner wasn’t standing there anymore. Shifting his gaze to his car, he found the bastard sitting in the driver’s seat, his rear-view mirror angled to the door to the room. This was a good thing. This gave Dylan a chance to get Gia out of there without too much trouble.

As he listened to the water start in the shower, he tried to get the image of Gia’s bare thigh from his mind. He hadn’t meant to stare, but even in the short time he’d been with her, it felt as if his wolf was pulling the strings of his feelings more and more.

Dylan’s MO as an enforcer was anger and fear, but with her, he knew he couldn’t use fear to get shit done. She needed a gentle touch, but he wasn’t stupid enough to mistake her need for weakness. She’d already proven she wasn’t weak. He doubted he would’ve come out as well adjusted from six years of captivity and sexual abuse.

He walked back to the chair opposite the bed and turned up the volume a little on the TV. He tuned out, watching some home renovation show for a while until Gia cleared her throat.

Turning to face her, he drank her in. Her chocolate brown hair was still damp, the ends dripping with water that landed on the shoulders of her long-sleeved shirt. She was wearing a pair of baggy jeans that looked like they were more suited to a guy. She still looked fucking beautiful to him, though.

Sitting on the end of the bed, she crossed her legs beneath her. It was so fucking hard not to demand she tell him everything, but he knew he had to wear kid gloves with her. She’d been to hell and back, and there was no way he’d push his dominating alpha-male bullshit on her too.

She dropped her gaze and tilted her head a little to the side, exposing her throat. A rumbling growl filled the room, and he realized it was him. Pressing his lips together, he sucked in a deep breath through his nose, then let it out.

“How did you survive?” he asked softly, the question coming out of his mouth before he could stop it. He just couldn’t piece it together. Surely, the female in front of him now wasn’t the female that had been captured six years ago. Surely, there had to be some spirit in her that had been burned away—or perhaps beaten from her was a better way to think about it.

As another round of uncontrolled growling started, he realized there was no better way to think about it.
