“I suggest you do what you were told.”
“Okay.” I hurriedly crawl to the center of the bed.
Once I’m in place, Art cuffs my wrist and ankles. “I’ll be back,” he says.
“What? Where are you going?”
He doesn’t answer me.
“You can’t leave me like this.”
“I’ll be back soon and I’ll have a special surprise for you.”
“Don’t leave me like this! Uncuff me!”
“No can do.”
“I’m going to bite your dick off.”
He roars with laughter. “Damn, babe, that’s violent. I’m rubbing off on you.”
“This isn’t funny!”
He blows me a kiss before crossing through the doorway. I swear to God I’m going to kill him.
“How’s sleeping beauty?”
My eyes open to a smiling Art peering down at me.
Darkness greets me beyond the window. The sun was still out when I fell asleep.
“I can’t believe you left me like this for hours!” I shout, seething inside.
“Calm down. You aren’t dead.”
“What time is it?”
“Nine.”
“My mom must be worried sick.”
“I sent her a text.”
“She probably thinks you murdered me.”
“I sent it from your phone.”
“You know my passcode?”
“Yep.”
“You can’t just pry your way into every aspect of my life.”
“Sure I can.”
God, he’s so infuriating.
“I have to pee.”
