Chapter Three

Josilyn smoothed her hands down the sides of her leggings and long top. She had paired the outfit with nice sandals and simple makeup so she wouldn’t look too outdated. The reality was she’d gone from a huge closet full of things to a handful of items she could work with. This was one of the only outfits she’d refused to part with. The top had been a honeymoon gift from Lucy.

She stared at the usually busy main street, which happened to be deserted at that moment, and stopped when she reached Ricardo’s. This was a top-of-the-line restaurant. She’d loved coming here in the past. The food was delicious and their caramel bomb lava cake did things to her no man ever had.

The restaurant was never empty. She glanced in the window to see tables filled with couples on dates. Nerves made her belly quake and rethink the plan. What was she doing there? She was going to work as some guy’s fake girlfriend. No, not some guy. Some shifter. Even worse.

She paced outside the restaurant, her mind trying to come up with a plausible excuse to call off the meeting, but all she could think of was the money she’d be giving up. Money she needed more than another sleepless night.

Suddenly someone grabbed her arm and she whipped her head to look into a pair of angry, glowing gold eyes. “You’re mine.”

“Excuse me? What the hell do you think you’re doing, asshole. Let me go.” She tugged on his hold to no avail.

He started pulling her away from the restaurant toward a dark alley around the corner. “I said, you’re mine.”

“And I said to let me go, asshole,” she yelled.

He backhanded her with his other hand and scratched her shoulder with his long dirty claws. “I’m taking what’s mine.”

What the fuck? Fear and anger sprouted wings in her chest. Her blood boiled with rage that a stranger put his hands on her. She dropped her bag and started hitting the guy with the cell phone she had in her hand. The sound of the phone hitting the guy’s face made her wince. Still, he wouldn’t stop. A man coming down the road stopped and frowned at them. “Help me! I don’t know this guy!”

She tugged the other way while the man continued to pull her to the alley. The stranger pulled out his phone and started recording a video instead. She wished she could toss something at him. Meanwhile the man was almost dragging as she strained in the other direction. Pain shot up her arm, but she ignored it and continued fighting. Her heart raced.

Finally, the phone she’d been hitting the guy with cracked. The glass screen broke on the side of his face. He wasn’t fazed. She really started to worry at that point and screamed at the top of her lungs. “Help! Somebody help me!”

It had been too good to be true for her to come here and get paid so much money for a job.
