Page 66 of A Bond with the Dark

After three years of being single and being so picky that I didn’t think I’d ever find love again. And here I am, in Vegas, with this hot guy I’m falling for.

And I think he’s falling for me too.

We’re walking hand in hand down the strip after dinner, enjoying the grandeur that is this city. City of sin. City of lights.

Just looking at the size of the buildings has me in awe. There’s so much money in this city. So much money that I could never dream of having.

He stops me in front of the Bellagio fountain to watch the water dance.

From behind me, he begins to sway.

“And I would love to go with you to meet your family.”

He smiles at me and kisses me softly.

My phone buzzes in my back pocket.

Claire is calling me.

“Hello?”

“Sayah, can you get here now? Something’s wrong with Anna. These guys are creepers, and I’m scared.”

“Where are you?”

“At some apartment. I’ll text you the address.”

“Do you need to call the police?”

“No, nothing like that. I think they drugged her. I’ve got her now; she’s sluggish but can still walk.”

“We’re on our way.”

I hang up, and Dom’s look tells me he already knows something’s wrong.

He pulls me toward the parking garage.

“They—”
