Deirdre leaned her forehead against the coolness of the car window. “Brandon, where are we going?”

“Some place different. Some place where we can be alone.”

“Our hotel wasn’t alone enough?”

“You’ll like where were going. It’s quiet, secluded.”

“I doubt it,” she muttered.

She hoped she’d find the nerve to try and make another escape.

She rubbed her palms together and tingles crept down to her fingers and up her arm. “Brandon, could you loosen the bindings around my wrist?”

“No.”

“My hands are going numb.”

“Then you won’t be going anywhere.” A satisfied smile spread across his face.

She gritted her teeth. If her hands were free, she’d slap that grin off.

He drove farther and farther down the ocean highway and turned on a dirt road with a dense rain forest on either side. Vines dangled to the ground and Deirdre wished she could grab one and swing out of here like Tarzan, but that wasn’t going to happen. The thick jungle was cleared and in its place were mansions with manicured lawns, water fountains and pools. Money, lots of money.

The mud plastered her shirt and sweats against her skin. Dirt caked onto her cheek and hands. Her ankle throbbed. She squirmed in her seat and tried to figure out where he was taking her. She’d never been to Hawaii and had no idea where he was going. She rolled her shoulder to brush off some sweat and inhaled Janus’s sandalwood scent, mixed with mud. Why hadn’t she listened to Janus and stayed?

The vegetation lessened and Brandon drove the sedan up a turn off. The radio played, Let It Snow, and he drummed his hands on the wheel to the beat. He was much too confident. They must be getting closer to his new chamber of horrors. Her luck had just melted away.

A steep drop off led to crashing waves hitting black rocks. Her stomach did a double flop and dizziness swam in her head. She should have stayed back in Denver.

The snow would be covering the streets and icy cold would grip the city. She should have stayed home and gone to her friend, Lisa’s who always greeted her with a glass of Chianti. Lisa lived in a mountain town a few miles from Denver. Christmas lights would be strung along her two story log cabin and a big pine tree would fill her bay window. The smell of a roasting turkey, baking rolls and Italian stuffing would permeate the cabin. She licked her lips and her stomach grumbled.

Brandon glanced at her. “Hungry?”

She clamped her jaw tight. He pounded her thigh hard and she winced.

“Ignoring me leads to pain. So are you hungry or not?”

She refused to answer him. Fuck him. She wasn’t going to pretend they were out for a leisurely drive and he was taking her to some fancy restaurant.

Brandon snorted. “Fine, when we get there, I’ll do it the hard way.”

She trembled. Damn, he was trying to stoke her fear and get her to plead for mercy. She wouldn’t do it.

He stopped at a tall black metal gate, leaned out and plugged numbers into a lock box.
