Chapter Six

Terror at the prospect of an attack made her dizzy. Her insides shook. Her legs wobbled like jelly. The door closed behind them and Loverboy uncapped her mouth but he didn’t let go of her waist.

“No screams, Sky. You don’t want any harm to come to Jim do you?”

Instinctively she knew his cover was blown too.

“What have you done to him?”

“He’s…tied up at the moment, but you’ll see him shortly. I promise.”

She needed to get to the cuffs. Now!

“I have to use the bathroom,” she said tightly.

“I’ll accompany you.”

“I…I can go myself.”

“No,” Loverboy said firmly.

He walked her into the bathroom. Her anxiety mounted when from the candlelight flickering through the open doorway she spied her purse on the countertop, exactly where she’d left it.

“I have protection in my purse,” she said as she reached out and grabbed it.

He yanked the purse out of her hand. Sky almost screamed in frustration.

“Go. Now.”

“I don’t have to go anymore,” she whimpered.

He grunted angrily and led her back into to the bedroom.

A moment later, he began nuzzling her neck, his free hand sliding up and down her arm in a caressing gesture.

“You don’t have to be afraid of me, Sky,” he whispered.

Her heart cracked like a whip as she frantically tried to figure out her next move. Jim was in trouble and she had to find out where he was. Looking down, she noticed he’d dropped the purse onto the night table. The purse was angled in such a way that she was able to dip her hand into the side pocket and rip the special tear-away material of the secret lining. A split second later, her fingers slid onto the cold metal of the handcuffs.

Loverboy’s warm breath sizzled across the back of her neck, tickling the fine neck hairs. He pressed his lips against her skin. Fear wrapped around her body making her legs tremble. She would have to act very fast if she was going to get out of this mess.
