My head was still raging to the point it was making me nauseous, so I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. There was no way I was going to move a muscle without this man’s approval, and he would just end up kissing me again if I tried to escape. He really needed to stop that.
“You need to quit kissing me,” I mumbled without looking at either of them as they chuckled, their amusement at my expense.
It was embarrassing how much my body reacted to him and how inexperienced I was with sex. I’ve read romance novels, but beyond that, I have no first-hand experience. I always thought the novels exaggerated getting caught up in a kiss. “Guess thatwasn’ta lie,” I muttered to myself.
“What wasn’t a lie?” His voice was low and growly. The sound of it caused my blood to zing.
“Nothing,” I snapped at him, furious that he could do this to me. “So, what happens now?”
“Now, I take you to a safe house, and we wait until the chips fall into place.”
“You know my uncle, right?” I finally rolled my head against the seat rest and looked at him.
“Yeah. I know him.”
“How long have you known him?” I probed again.
“I’ve known him for about ten years. Why?” He cocked a brow at me and looked at me like I was crazy.
“How long have you known he had a daughter?” I ignored his question and continued with my line of questions.
“Ten years.” He gave me a look that said what did it really matter, but he would learn soon enough that it mattered.
“And when did you learn about me?” I gave him a pointed look.
“Late last week.”
I nodded and closed my eyes again as the fading sunlight was causing the sharp pains behind my eyes. “See. You took the wrong girl,” I whispered. “My uncle won’t pay to get me back.”
“I took the right girl, Zoey.”
I opened my eyes to study him despite the pain it caused me. “You kidnapped me.”
“I know.”
My brows furrowed with further confusion and the pain in my head was causing me to be drowsy. “Then why do I feel safe with you?”
I didn’t expect an answer, and I didn’t get one because the stress headache became too much, and I succumbed to the sweet relief of sleep.
