“If it gets food in my belly, then sure. Massage your ego. You kidnapped me and now we’re dating. You’re a crazy, sick asshole, Peri.”

Peri leans down, closer to me. “You haven’t seen crazy or sick yet, doll. Just wait until you feel my tongue teasing and playing with your tight, puckering ass.”

I suck in a breath.

He kisses my forehead.

I cannot be turned on by all of this…

… yet I cannot help it.

ChapterThirteen

PERILOUS

Trust me,I get it.

She can’t be held captive forever. She has friends worried about her. She has a best friend named Molly who is worried about her. Her father is out of his mind wanting to know where his daughter is. Which tells me Annika plays thegood girlcard often.

But she’s nogood girl. Not with a throat like she has. Or a soaked cunt spilling all over my face like a warm shower at the end of a long day. Or how hard her sweet cunt reaches orgasm.

I’m also wondering just what lies behind the intentions and relationship between Annika and her father. For all anyone knows Annika saidfuck itand took off. She wants out ofSA, right? She wants to travel the world. Let them think that’s what she’s doing. Fuck, all I need to do is text her friends and her father saying that.

Listen. This is crazy, I know, but I said screw it and just did something for myself for once. I hopped on a flight and I’m out of the country. It’s time for me to find myself.

Then again, if someone tracks and hacks her phone…

Shit.I’ve had her phone turned off since I took it from her.

Still…

This whole thing is very interesting. It’s messy as fuck, that’s for sure. Holom wants his daughter back, safely. Luc wants me to find Annika and kill her. Just the fact that I have Annika in my possession and I haven’t spoken to Luc about it puts me in a dangerous spot.

I know at some point Annika is going to need to some fresh clothes. Some sunlight. Fresh air. The room—and building—is equipped with state of the art air filtration. The room smells sterile and fresh at all times.

I stand with my arms folded, my back against the door, watching Annika as she eats. She looks at me and licks a small glob of ketchup from the right corner of her mouth. She has a mouthful of cheeseburger and some fries.

“What?”

“Eat,” I command.

I don’t give a fuck if she doesn’t like me watching her eat.

My mind keeps working. I’m throwing out scenarios over and over. In reality, I should have nothing to do with this. Simple solution?

Drug Annika and tie her to the bed.

Gather up my brood and head to the Perg to speak privately with Luc. No Legion needed.

Bring Luc to the room and show him that I’ve captured Annika. He’ll for sure then hand me a weapon, to test my loyalty to him and the Legion. Just like he did when I had to fuck with the brake lines on that SUV… the one with the…

I turn and make fists, pressing them against the door. My muscles flex and I push my fists at the door, gritting my teeth. Every nerve in my body pulses.

“Hey, are you okay?” Annika asks.

Her voice is so sweet and concerned. It pisses me the fuck off.

I push from the door and spin around. The room turns a dark shade of red. In seconds I’m at the edge of the bed, my left hand pulling her hair, my face hovering over hers as her eyes grow wide with fear.
