Chapter Twelve

Tamara

I actually doze off on the plane. I didn’t sleep last night, and the orgasmic sex with Joshua is followed by a great wave of weariness.

When we land, I wake up with a start, groggily, and realize my head is resting on Joshua’s shoulder. Just like a normal couple. I lie there for a few seconds and relish the feeling, the way I used to do sometimes when Joshua was holding me captive. I used to spin lies in my head, back then, pretending that I was living my dream life with the sexiest man in the world.

I’m sitting here on a private jet with my rich, handsome boyfriend who loves me…

“Home sweet home,” Joshua says, shattering the illusion.

I straighten up and look out the window at the tarmac. “Prison sweet prison.”

He looks down at me fondly and runs his thumb over my lips. “Keep it up. I haven’t delivered a really good ass-beating in far too long, and clearly you’re in need.”

We sit there in silence while the plane taxis to a stop, then wait for the stairs to be rolled up to the plane’s door.

“My tights are ripped,” I say, suddenly self-conscious when the door opens.

“It’ll be our dirty little secret.” He grins at me wickedly.

I look around as I walk down the stairs. We’re on a private airstrip. It’s about thirty degrees warmer than Flat Plains; we’re not in Nebraska anymore. The trees here are lower and scrubbier looking. They’re strangely twisted and look as if they’d be thorny to the touch.

“Those are mesquite. They’re called the devil tree,” Joshua says, following my gaze.

How appropriate.

Near the airstrip, I see high stucco walls with a lacing of razor wire running all along the top.

I squint into the distance, across the plains, at mountains whose tops are swallowed by haze. “Where are we?”

“North Texas. Home sweet home. For now. We can decide where we want to go once my brother’s back in prison. Until then, I like it here. We can see anything that’s coming at us for a hundred miles in any direction.” Joshua walks toward a man who’s approaching us in an open-top jeep, the kind with the roll bars.

“We can decide, can we?” I stand stubbornly still as a man loads my suitcases onto the jeep. Joshua walks back to me and favors me with one of those smiles that hold a hint of menace.

“Yes. Unless you decide to be a stubborn, annoying pain in my ass, in which case I will whip some manners into you and decide for myself where we go.”

I ignore the little thrill that shoots through me when he says that.

“Just because we have amazing sex doesn’t mean I want to live my life as your slave.” I struggle to find the energy to glare at him. “I want the freedom to decide where I live, and what I do with my life.”

Do I, though? I was completely lost at Sarah’s house. Deciding what I wanted to do from one minute to the next drained me of all my energy.
