“Don’t sass me,” I said in a warning tone.

“I’m not. As your prisoner, I have the right to know what kind of abductor you are.”

“The kind who brings you food and water, so you should be nice to me, so I’ll keep doing it.” Sassy shit was getting my motor running. I should leave her before I showed her what kind of a selfish fuck I could be.

“Eh, don’t bother.” She waved her free hand. “Food and water don’t matter to me.”

“They’re essential to staying alive.”

“So is freedom. I have a proposal for you, Mr. Abductor.”

“What happened to Mr. Grumpy Sexy?” I squatted to be at her level. Proposal? I was curious but wouldn’t show it.

“Taking me against my will sort of tainted the title for me. I much prefer Mr. Abductor now.” She smiled and tucked her legs under her.

“Well, I prefer you don’t call me either. My name isn’t important.”

“You’re right. So do you want to hear my proposal?”

“Sure.”

“I work for you, and you let me go free after I’ve paid off my father’s debt.”

“I’ll consider yourproposal.” I stood and kept my face serious but wanted to flash a wide smile.

“Are you leaving already? You didn’t hear all the things I can do in and out of bed.” She raised onto her knees and pushed her chest out.

Fuck, my dick had a mind of its own.

“I’ve got some stuff to do. But I’ll return.”

“Please don’t go yet. I’ve worked out all the details.”

“I’m sure you have. Eat what I brought you, and I’ll hear you out. Don’t eat it, and I won’t listen.” I left the room, locked the door, and almost punched the concrete wall.

Something about her made me want to take her into my arms and soothe the hurt she’d experienced in her life.

But I wasn’t a good person. I also had dirty thoughts, like her pink lips wrapped around my cock while I fucked her mouth with her back against the concrete wall.

I was a vile asshole who needed to stay away from her before I took what I wanted. Who was I kidding? Her proposal sounded like she’d do anything for her freedom without complaint.

What in the hell was I to do with her? She wasn’t scared for her life at all. It almost seemed like she was relieved to be chained to the wall. Christ, that sounded messed up even to me.

In only one day, she had me thinking and feeling all kinds of shit. The chick needed to go.

Destiny

I watched the day change from light to dark from the small window near the ceiling. Evening had arrived, but Mr. Sexy Grump hadn’t come back. Yes, he was sexy and a grump. And I’d never tell him so. Nor would I ever call him Mr. Grumpy Sexy.

What had I been thinking back at the bar?

Obviously, I hadn’t been in my right mind because I was drunk off my boney ass.

I finished off the last Oreo and savored it. Milk would have been a lovely addition, but water would do. I hoped he meant what he said about listening to me if I ate all the food.

I wasn’t sure what I’d tell him. Sort of thought I’d wing it depending on what his reactions were. What would I do if he didn’t find me attractive?
