Mackenzie

I am not the type of person who needs to be constantly entertained but lying here in this basement is making me go stir crazy.

No cell phone. No television. No food.

Lounging in the bathtub isn’t exactly fun either, considering my wrists and ankles are cuffed. My highlight of the day was stretching across the floor as far as I could and actually pushing on the boxes on the shelves instead of just grazing my fingers over them. I’m dying to know what’s in them. Pictures of other women he’s brought here? Body parts wrapped in cellophane?

I immediately cross off the last notion, figuring Warren is not a souvenir type of guy. Besides, I would most likely smell the dead if there were any down here, considering a ceiling fan is my only source of cool air.

I stare up at the fan now, lying flat on my back on the mattress, and listen to the annoying sound it makes. Normally, the hum of a fan would lull me to sleep, but not today. Not here. It’s driving me fucking insane today.

I turn over onto my side, my back to the door, and tell my brain to rest so that my body can. I barely slept last night, fearing Warren would come back while at the same time fearing that he wouldn’t.

He didn’t.

I shouldn’t be annoyed about that, but I am. He left me down here after he fucked and fed me and didn’t even come back to check on me.

Ugh. What an asshole.

I giggle quietly to myself at the thought and the fact that I’m laughing at this situation truly proves how insane I am. Tears spring to my eyes out of nowhere, and I blink them back.

Yes, I’m truly going insane.

I hear the lock on the door followed by footsteps, and a sigh of relief escapes me. I’m not alone anymore.

Still, I lie there, unmoving, and allow Warren to believe I’m sleeping. Perhaps I can catch him off guard. The mattress dips as he sits down beside me.

“Mackenzie?” he says, quietly, and I don’t respond. “Fuck, what am I doing?” he mutters, and I lie there listening to him speak. “I should let you go.”

I want to scream at him that he should, that keeping me down here is wrong, but I can’t seem to get the words out. I’m too entranced in what he’s saying, what he’s doing.

His hand skims over my bare arm, so lightly that I can barely feel his touch, yet my skin is on fire from it. He presses a gentle kiss to the top of my shoulder, and I finally roll over and look at him.

His eyes are closed as his lips linger at my flesh. His forehead is creased with worry, possibly guilt. He’s treating me like a cherished treasure he wants to keep hidden from the world, not a prisoner he wants to slaughter.

“Warren,” I whisper his name, and he jolts up, running a hand through his thick hair.

I sit up, crawling around him and then onto his lap.
