Page 22 of Accidental Abduction

Deciding to see exactly how much he’d punish me as a result, I quickly scanned to make sure there wasn’t anyone loitering outside the back of the building before I screamed, trying to make myself sound panicked.

“Help! He’s coming! Help please!”

The wind was knocked out of me as strong arms wrapped around my waist, Hudson pulling me tightly against his solid chest. His rough palm covered my mouth, and my panicked breathsfogged in the air in front of my face while he carried me toward the side of the building where he’d parked his car.

He rarely drove his car to work unless it was safer because of the weather, so it seemed like this little scenario of his had been planned.

A flare of jealousy burned through me at the thought he planned this forher, but then I grinned against his palm. Viv wasn’t fucking here right now.

Fuck that demure,psychotic, little plastic doll, I was as chaotic as they came.

And I had no plans of stopping this. The harsh light of day might bring consequences I didn’t want to face in the morning, but tonight...

Tonight, Hudson was mine.

“Don’t bother screaming. The music is too loud for anyone to hear you,” he warned as the hand covering my mouth loosened. “Stay quiet or I’m going to have to shut you up. Although, I think you enjoy having your mouth full.”

Nodding, my chest heaved as I waited for him to move his hand away further.

When it dropped to his side, I lunged forward, letting out a loud scream, hoping there wasn’t anyone outside the front door listening either. I didn’t want Hudson to actually get arrested for kidnapping me, but I also wanted to see what he’d do.

“You asked for it.” He let out a dark chuckle, banding a strong forearm across my exposed stomach, covering my mouth with a cloth, and quickly tying it tightly around the back of my head.

Hudson spun me around, his eyes wild as he looked down at me briefly before he bent and hefted me over his shoulder.

Yanking on his T-shirt, I scratched my nails across his lower back, trying not to giggle at the yelp and pained moan he let out. “Keep it up, little devil. Your time is coming.”

If I could have, I would have told him to bring it on...but as I thrashed and kicked while he carried me off, Ithink he got the message.

My head spun as Hudson shoved me into the back seat of his car.

Again, I had the fleeting thought that with anyone else I’d be terrified, but as he leaned in over my body, gently making sure the cloth covering my mouth wasn’t too tight, I’d never felt safer.

“Stay. Here. Don’t move an inch.” His tone was serious, but I could tell from the frantic scanning of my face, he was trying to make sure I was okay with this. “When I come back, if you’ve tried to escape, I’ll know. If I can’t trust you to behave when I need you to, I’ll have to leave you here instead of taking you somewhere quiet to have my fun with you.”

Nodding, I tried to calm my breathing, wordlessly assuring him that I’d be good...for now.

“I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

My ears rang in the silence of the car after he slammed the door.

Was he going to take me back to his house? Or somewhere else?

Either way, I needed to let Hazel know I was gone. I lifted my hips, shifting my arms to the side to wiggle my phone out of my back pocket. Thankfully, he had zip tied them in front of me instead of behind or I’d be stuck.

My fingers shook as I used my thumbs to type in the code to unlock the screen and open my text messages. Apparently facial recognition didn’t work too well when you were wearing a mask and had a gag tied across your mouth.

Charley: Left with Hudson. Won’t be home tonight. Be safe.

The wind howled outside the car, but I didn’t hear him out there. He must have gone back inside the building for something. I really hoped he didn’t run into Vivienne in there, because I was looking forward to the rest of this role play. And that bitch wasn’t spoiling this for either of us. Hudson deserved someone who actuallywantedto be with him.

Before my thoughts could spiral with more worst-case scenarios, my phone buzzed in my hands.

Hazel: Same to you, but please DON’T call me with details later. There are things I don’t need to know about mybrother.

I wanted to ask her how she knew something was going on she wouldn’t want details for, but the sound of the bar door slamming had my fingers flying across the keys. Hazel had known about my crush on her brother for nearly as long as I’d had it. It was hard to keep things from someone who knew you as well as we knew each other. But even she didn’t know how deeply my feelings for him had grown since I started working at the bar.

Charley: You’re no fun.
