When I open my eyes, I feel as if I’ve been out for hours. My heart lurches out of my chest, and I bolt off the bed. Have I missed my chance to escape? My cell phone bounces onto the floor, and I snatch it up. The screen glows in the darkness, and I breathe a sigh of relief when I see the time; it’s only half-past eight. I still have an hour and a half to get my things packed.

I change out of my suit into a pair of leggings and a pale-yellow, thin sweater. If I’m going to run away, I need to be able to move quickly. As quietly as I can, I tiptoe to my closet and grab my smallest bag. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to take everything. Not that it matters, I have plenty of money in my accounts to live off for the rest of my life. Once I’ve picked through my clothes and packed the essentials, I slowly stop at the door to listen. And, of course, I can’t hear anything downstairs. Before leaving the room, I hide my bag of clothes under the bed in case Chase happens to look inside. At ten o’clock, he’ll be passed out, and I won’t have anyone to stop me from leaving.

A part of me wants to stay hidden in the room, but the other wants to see Chase one last time before I go. It’s a bad idea, but I decide to do it anyway. I open the bedroom door and hold my breath the entire time I walk down the stairs. Chase isn’t in his study, and he’s not in the kitchen or living room. I don’t know where else he could be, so I head toward the back door, wondering if he’s outside.

I reach for the doorknob …

“Looking for me?”

Chase’s voice startles me, my heart throbbing in my throat as I jerk around. “Son of a bitch,” I growl, backing into the door and slapping a hand over my chest. “Why would I be looking for you?”

He ambles closer, his lips spread wide in a dashing smile. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe you want to continue where we left off last night.”

Heat rises to my cheeks, and I scowl. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Chase closes the distance, resting both hands against the door, caging me in. His glowing, blue eyes fixate on my lips, and my body freezes. It’s as if I can’t feel any part of my body other than my heart beating out of control.

Chase’s voice deepens, all smooth and sexy. “I seem to remember someone telling me to stay with them last night. On a full moon, too. Surely, you didn’t forget.”

He brings his mouth closer, and I duck under his arms to avoid his touch. “Obviously, I did. There’s no way in hell I’d ever kiss you or do anything else with you, for that matter.” It was a mistake to want to see him. I march over to the staircase, but Chase grabs my wrist before I reach the second step.
