"Right," I nod."And that was your bosses' doing as well?"

"Of course.Now, I have a masseuse coming in an hour, then lunch afterward.Then I have Giselle coming over to bring you a couple of dresses for your dinner tonight."

"Oh, great.A massage sounds wonderful," I say, backing away."I'm just going to take a shower, and I'll see you later."

"Excellent.Oh, and Ms.Hagen, please don't try to leave.There's a bodyguard standing outside the door, and his orders come from the bosses themselves.You won't get very far.I'm sorry."

"You're kidding."

"Again, you have no idea how possessive they are over you.I've never seen them this way before.But I love it.You're perfect for them."

"Okay, this is getting freaky," I say as I charge toward the door, fling it open, and stare at a seven-foot giant who literally bows when he sees me.

"Hi," I say awkwardly, then shut the door in his face.

"Just go with it for now.You'll see them tonight, not a moment earlier—they're tied up in meetings and not taking any calls, unfortunately—and then you can give them all kinds of hell."

I take Gina's advice because I have no freaking choice.

I shower, have the massage of my life, have the best lunch ever, followed by a tub of ice cream—which I need, goddammit—get fitted with the most beautiful dress in the universe, have my hair and makeup done.

Then at a minute to seven o’clock the giant at the door escorts me to a limousine in which they’re already seated in.

I’m still 100% sure I've dreamed this up.

"You have absolutelyno right to keep me a prisoner here," I say the instant I slip into the limo and face them.

How do they get more handsome every time I look at them?
