Chapter 32

Brice exited off the interstate, and they were now entering a plush neighborhood filled with gated mansions lining the immaculately clean, tree-lined street.

“Nice digs.” She undid her seat belt hoping he had not heard the click of the release above her voice. “Real estate development must be doing well these days,” she commented casually hoping he would not be tipped off to the fact she knew this was not his home.

“It is, but this is the home of someone else. We will get to my house soon. I live in Benbrook. I just needed to make a quick detour.” He offered up the information making her wonder if he was being honest.

Boy, would Brice be pissed if Robert miscalculated his motives with her this time. The two men were hardly civil to each other as it stood. If Robert miscalculated Brice's intentions with her it could easily escalate to out and out physical hostility without much provocation. Brice would not come out on the better end of that venture, she was sure.

“Brice, I do not like this. What are you up to?” She narrowed her eyes at him.

“Relax, would you? We won’t be here long. All I need are a couple of signatures on a license.”

“Oh, well I’ll call Robert and let him know.”

She wondered if she could believe Brice. However, this was just too mundane not to be believable. Still it was better to be safe.

She started to dial when Brice angrily pulled the phone from her hand.

“You do not have to answer to him for every damn move you make, Katherine.”

Brice’s face changed as he tossed the phone into the back seat well out of her reach.

“Coming with you was a mistake.” She reached for the door handle. Lightning fast, he reached across to stop her from leaving the car.

“You just have to trust me. I care for you,” he said hoping to calm her.

“Then let me out of this car, Brice,” she demanded.

“Ten minutes, Kate. Just give me ten minutes, and then I’ll let you go wherever you want,” he softened.

She wasn’t buying. He was definitely up to something if the fine hairs standing up on the back of her neck were any indication.

If she could get him to let his guard down then maybe she could get away. Damn, she hated the fact Robert was right. She could trust no one, especially herself.

Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to relax she agreed.

“Ten minutes, then I want to go home. I’m more tired than I thought. It is too soon after the fire.” It sounded reasonable, she thought.

He let the door handle go and focused his attention back on the wheel as the iron gates began to open. If he got her behind those gates she had no idea what or who was waiting for her. This could be innocent, but maybe not. If Robert wasn’t willing to take such a chance, then neither was she.

Quickly, unsnapping her seatbelt, she jumped out of the car before he could catch her, hearing him curse as she made her getaway.
