When I approach the glass door, I can already see my car parked outside. I walk us out and Thomas opens the back door for me. I give him a nod before carefully placing Kim on the brown leather backseat.

Once she’s in place, I close the door and turn to Thomas. He doesn’t look at me, averting his eyes towards the building. I pat him on the back.

“Thanks. I’d appreciate your discretion.”

“Of course, Mr. Warwick.”

Just as I’m about to get in the driver’s seat, I turn to him. “That includes my mother. If I hear anything about this from her, I’ll know exactly who told her.”

He meets my eyes and nods. “Yes sir, I understand.”

I slide into the driver’s seat and shut the door. The car is already running, so I take off immediately, glancing back at Kim.

“Time to go home, my little dancer.”

She’s still asleep, so she gives no reply. I find myself wondering how long the sedatives will keep her knocked out. My home isn’t too far from here, so it should at least keep her down until we get there.

And if it doesn’t? Well, then I guess the games will begin a bit earlier than I’d planned.

“We’re going to have a lot of fun together,” I mutter, looking back at her sleeping face again. She looks even more angelic when she’s unconscious.

It takes less than thirty minutes to reach my house. We pull up to the gates, and I press a button to open them before driving us through.

My house stands tall, sprawling out farther than the eye can see from here. It’s huge, most of the rooms are without a purpose yet. But that will change soon.

The lawn out front is freshly cut, the trees trimmed to perfection. At the far left, a lot of those trees hide the rest of my home from view.

This entire property is gated, and I also own a lot of the land outside of the gates. So if anyone ever tried to get close, they wouldn’t have much luck.

Unless they’re my mother. She has a very annoying way of weaseling her way into wherever she wants to be.

I pull up to the large garage, which can easily fit over ten cars. It currently has about six, soon to be seven once I pull in.

The door opens as soon as I approach, thanks to the sensor I have installed. It closes behind us once we’re inside. I shut the car off and get out, before unlocking the door that leads into the house.

Once it’s unlocked, I take Kim out of the car and walk inside with her. The cool air conditioning of my house hits us, and for a moment I just look around.

Kim is going to love it here.

She’s fast asleep in my arms, her chest rising and falling slowly every few seconds. I press a kiss to her forehead, breathing her in.

When I pull away, I head towards the large spiral staircase that leads to the second floor. Her bedroom is up there, already fully decorated and tailored just for her.

“Not that you’ll be needing it for long,” I tell her.

Eventually, she’ll move into my room with me, and I don’t plan on letting her leave it.

Upstairs, I cross the threshold into her room and walk towards the large bed that sits against the far wall. Reluctantly, I set her down on the soft comforter, making sure her head is rested nicely on the pillows.

My hand drifts to her cheek, where I run my fingers along her smooth skin. Her eyelids flutter, and for a moment I think she’s going to wake up, but she doesn’t.

“So beautiful,” I marvel. “You’re finally where you belong.”
