For the second time in a row, I awake on my own. A hazy, dreamlike daze coats everything in a fog. As I blink up at a peeling ceiling, I almost donât remember. Where I am. What Iâve done.
I almost forgetâ¦
But then an undeniably masculine scent slams into me, ripping away the ignorance. I feel him, even before I see him towering above me.
âGet up.â
I comply, maneuvering my sore limbs just enough to rise onto my knees. Vanyaâs jacket pools on the floor beside me, but I know better than to reach for it, even as my teeth chatter. Iâm shocked to find a bottle of water and a sandwich on the floor as well, a few feet away. He kept his promise.
âEat.â Mischa jerks his chin toward the food.
I donât wait for a more explicit invitation. I cram the sandwich into my mouth and barely take a sip of water when he turns for the door.
âCome.â
I stagger, an uncoordinated heap. After I nearly run into a wall, he snatches my arm and manually steers me into the hall and out of the house. Outside, a strip of orange accents an otherwise dark sky. Sunset.
Once again, Iâve slept for an entire day. During that time, Mischa and his men have been busy. There are four vans gathered out front. The men move freely between them, packing materials. In one, a familiar face watches mutely from behind the glass and my heart aches. Small. Round. The girl.
Mischa kept her aliveâfor now.
âLook at the ground,â the man in question hisses.
I obey, allowing him to shove me toward one of the vans and inside it. I expect him to leave, but no. He climbs in after me, this time smothering any space that might separate us. His shoulder deliberately presses against mine, his thigh searing my hip.
As the door closes, his voice trickles down my spine, low and dangerous. âDid you think Iâd let you stay near Vanya so that you could feed him more lies?â He rakes his fingers through my hair, unconcerned when they catch on tangles, making me wince. âWhat did you tell him?â
âN-nothing.â I breathe the truth against the window nearest me. Beyond it lies a lonely landscape of naked trees swaying in the darkness. The moon shows full and roundâlike his thumb blazing a trail across my shoulder and down, igniting a path through the cotton of my shirt.
My chest tightens as the air thickens in my lungs. Breathe, Ellen. But I canât. Heâs in my head as much as heâs beside me. Taunting. Teasing.
Destroying.
âDid you tell him that you threw yourself at me like a goddamn whore?â he snarls, his voice low for my benefit.
The driver doesnât react. Not even as his leaderâs hand creepsâ¦
I stiffen as his thumb grazes the clasp of my jeans. A slow, ruthless tugging undoes my zipper, link by goddamn link. Without panties as a barrier, his nail grazes my curls, tugging so hard that I jerk in place.
âDid you tell him
