10: ABOUT LAST NIGHT
Salvi stirred as dreams fluttered beneath her eyelids. A faint feeling of ecstasy lingered in her tired muscles as she moved her naked body against the mattress. She tried to roll over onto her stomach, but her hands caught on something.
Something above her head.
She opened her eyes, tried to pull her hands down, but they wouldnât move. She glanced up to the bedhead and saw she was cuffed to it.
What the�
It took a moment for her brain to wake up. When it did, panic shot through her.
She moved to sit up, but her head swam. She tried to call out for help, but her dry throat croaked as she thrashed about in the tangle of sheets. She heard footsteps and Mitch came running into the room.
âItâs alright,â he said. âItâs alright, Salvi. Youâre safe!â
She glared at him, panting, confused, as she pulled on her cuffed wrists. âWhat the fuck?â, she finally managed to choke out.
Mitch held his hands out calmly. âJust calm down, alright. It was necessary.â
âNecessary?â
âYou were⦠you⦠wouldnât leave me alone, Salv. I needed a break.â
âA break? What. The. Fuck. Mitch?â she growled through her clenched jaw.
âYou were high as a kite on Flyte, Salv. You wouldâve gone all night if Iâd let you.â
âUncuff me! Now!â
âAlright.â He held his hand up for calm, then pressed his thumb against the digital cuffs to authorize their release. As soon as her hands were free, she rubbed her wrists, then pulled the sheets tight around her. She looked about the room and realized she was in her own apartment. Her real apartment. She saw their scattered clothes, then looked back to Mitch, standing shirtless before her. âSo, we...?â
He held his hands up in defense. âJust the once before I cuffed you.â
âYou⦠slept with me like that?â she said accusingly.
âSalvi, you werenât taking no for an answer.â He pointed to bruises on his arms, then to others on his neck. âYou jumped me while I was trying to drive you home. I had to pull over in a dark street and let you do what you needed to so I could get us here in one piece.â
âWe had sex in the Raider?â
He nodded. Salvi felt her face pale.
âTell me Riverton doesnât know this.â
âIt doesnât. Iâm not stupid Salv. I cut the systems before anything happened.â
âIn the Raider? In a dark street?â she asked again.
He nodded. âTurns out thereâs plenty of room for two in the driverâs seat.â
Salvi lowered her head into her hands.
âHey,â Mitch said softly. She looked up at him again. âI was just trying to keep you happy⦠but after a while I realized that you were going to go all night, and you werenât you, so I thought it best toâ¦â he motioned to the handcuffs.
She looked down at her body, could feel the effects of what he was saying, but her mind was drawing blanks. âI donât⦠remember.â
âAnything?â he said, sitting down beside her. âWhat the last thing you recall?â
She turned her mind over. âYou and Hernandez hauling me out of the car.
