Chapter 12

Now what? Josie backed away from Ryder advancing on her with the knife.

Obviously, she’d pushed his buttons a little too hard, and now he was out to teach her a lesson by trying to scare her again. “Stop fooling around before someone gets hurt.”

“Who’s fooling?” Fierce determination glittered in his eyes. “In the bedroom, now!”

Why would he suddenly drop back into kidnapper mode? Unless....Maybe he’d spoken to someone at Drumthwacket and knew she was on to him.

Stumbling, she retreated into the other room, slammed the door in his face, and locked it. While he rattled the knob, she dashed over to the bathroom and also bolted that door before he could reach it.

Terrorize her, would he? She chuckled. She’d show him a thing or—

Bang! The sound of wood splintering stopped her in her tracks.

“Now you’ll have to pay for forcing me to kick in my door.” His mouth curled in a self-satisfied smile. “Seeing as you were so eager last night, I’ll let you work the repair off in trade.”

“I was drunk.”

“That’s why I sent you to bed. But you’re stone-cold sober now.” He gestured with the knife. “So strip.”

“I’ll do no such thing.” When she’d undressed for him the night before, her inhibitions had been loosened by the alcohol, giving her a false sense of bravado. The prospect of being stark naked with him again was....daunting.

Not to mention, nerve-wracking—and downright exhilarating.

She shivered with anticipation as his twinkling eyes darkened from the color of sweet milk chocolate to that of blistering hot fudge.

“I said strip. Now!”

They both knew this was simply a game, but if she admitted she’d learned his true identity, the fun would be over.

“Either you take off those clothes, or I’ll cut them off you.”

His damaged bedroom door proved he’d do it if she didn’t play by his rules. And as titillating as it might be to have him slash her clothes, no way would she let him destroy the only clothing she had with her.

He sank onto the bed to watch while she peeled her top over her head and draped it neatly on the chair in the corner. For several moments, his heavy-lidded gaze lingered on the swell of her breasts and the lacey half-cups of her demi bra barely concealing her nipples.

She’d always bought pretty lingerie, but never anything so provocative before. However, when he’d abducted her, she’d been on her way to a romantic liaison with Richard.

Like a half-starved lion with his quarry cornered, Ryder’s pupils dilated. He waved the knife’s tip in a downward motion. “Now your pants.” As she tucked her fingers in her waistband to comply, he growled, “Slowly.”

Trembling with excitement and a pinch of trepidation, she gradually wiggled out of her slacks, folded them, and laid them on top of her sweater.

Teddy wandered into the room and yapped at them in his most ferocious bark.

“This is a private show. The furball doesn’t have an admission ticket.” Ryder waved the knife toward the john. “Lock him in there.”

She shut the dog in the bathroom, and as she turned back to Ryder, she gasped, finding him inches away.
