“Okay. I think I’m going to let you freestyle mine as long as you keep my brother in mind.”
“Oh, word? I do have something in mind. I’ll draw it up in between clients and show you when I get home.”
Since the first time I stayed at Kane’s house, he’d been calling his home our home.
“And when will that be?”
I only asked because I had something planned for us, and I wanted everything ready. It was my way of showing my appreciation for the things he’d done for me since we’d been together.
“Probably around seven or so? Why? Are you going to be naked at the door?”
I laughed as I moved on to the produce department. We needed more fruit, and I wanted some potatoes for dinner.
“I might be,” I teased.
I wasn’t planning on being naked, because I wanted us to have dinner first, but I did have a little outfit I wanted to wear for him.
“Well shit, let me see if I can get done sooner.”
“No, sir. Take your time and get them people right. You don’t want them to say you out here doing trash tatts, do you?”
Kane’s laughter floated through the phone, and I loved the sound of it.
“Nah, not at all. I’ll make sure I do the best I can. We need that money. My next client should be here soon, so I’ll see you later. Love you, Munch.”
“Love you too.”
We hung up the phone, and I continued getting my groceries. My cart was damn near full by the time I made it to the register. Almost $300 later, I headed out of the store to go home.
I had just loaded the last bag in the trunk when I felt something press against my back.
“Don’t make any sudden movements, or I’ll blow your fucking head off.”
A shiver ran up my spine. I looked around the parking lot, but I didn’t see anyone to signal that I needed help. Plus, I was sure if anybody had seen us, they would have thought we were just a loving couple or something. The guy was standing so close to me that the gun wouldn’t be visible to anyone.
“What do you want with me?” I tried not to sound as scared as I was, but my insides were shaking, and it felt like I would pee on myself.
“I want you to take a ride. As long as you cooperate, I won’t hurt you.”
My phone was in my bag, and I had already put it in the car.
“Um, okay.” I didn’t know what to do, and I for sure didn’t want my head blown off.
I was pushed forward into a black van that wasn’t near my car when I first entered the store. This person must have followed me and waited all this time for me to come out.
“Sit the fuck down.” I was forced to sit on the floor since there were no seats in the back of the van.
The guy with the gun tied my hands behind my back and my feet together, while someone I couldn’t see sped out of the parking lot.
The windows were blacked out, so I couldn’t see anything.
“Please, can you just tell me what this is about?” I didn’t bother anybody, so this didn’t make sense. Beast was gone, so it wasn’t him.
“You’ll find out when it’s time,” the guy said with his gun pointed at me.
I didn’t say anything else, but I paid attention to his face and any markings on him I could find, just in case I got away.
I wasn’t sure how long we drove, but whenever we stopped, someone threw something over my head and dragged me out of the van.
