Gray would come for her.

She had to keep the faith. It was hard. Especially when she’d panicked in the beginning, thinking she’d never see him again. Never see her friends.

Never give Immy another hug. Never dance all night with Cat. Or have Sampson grumble at her. Jump in puddles with Dahlia.

She’d never kiss Gray again.

Hold him.

Tell him she loved him.

But then this asshole had cuffed her to the underside of the passenger seat. And she’d stared at her wrist, eyeing her bracelet.

That was when she’d realized that Gray would always come for her.

She wasn’t alone.

She had so many people who loved her. She’d never be alone again.

The asshole who’d kidnapped her didn’t drive for long before pulling off the road. Then things had gotten rather bumpy. Which hadn’t been pleasant for her poor, bruised body as she’d crouched in the footwell of the passenger seat.

God, she hoped that Ilya and Triple-T were okay.

And Dahlia, she’d looked so scared.

Please let them all be okay.

She wasn’t sure she could live with herself if they weren’t.

It’s not your fault.

It’s this asshole’s fault.

He parked the vehicle then got out, humming a tune to himself. Was this fun for him?

He came around and opened the passenger door. Reaching down, he unlocked her handcuff where it was attached to the seat. Then he quickly grabbed her free hand, securing her hands in front of her.

He tugged her from the seat.

Fuck. He was strong.

He started humming that song again. And she realized why it sounded familiar.

It was one of Jenner’s earlier hits.

Could be a coincidence. Although it made her stomach roll over with nerves.

He dragged her toward a dilapidated hut. Oh God, was this where he planned to kill her?

All of her bravado left her in a rush.

The asshole kept humming that song.

“How did you find me?” she asked as he sat her on a chair in the middle of the cabin. She glanced down and saw that the chair was bolted to the floor.

Before she could use some of her mad ninja skills, he had her feet secured with rope to the bottom rungs of the chair. And her body was tied to the back of the chair with more rope.
