His demanding demeanor just infuriated me even more.

“And if I don’t want to work for you anymore?”

He chuckled, the deep sound echoing off of the brick walls around us. “Like you have any other choice.”

Then he turned and stepped outside the cell knowing I would follow behind him.

He was right.

I had limited choices at the moment, but that wouldn’t always be the case. And as soon as I could, I was leaving Vegas.

I was no longer just running from Allen.

I would also be running from Zander, too.

“Oh, and, angel,” he said, turning back toward me. “Keep defying me all you want. It only turns me on more.”

I hated his little nickname for me, yet at the same time, it was like he was caressing me with sweet words.

“Again, my name’s Eden.”

He waved away my words. “Angel … Eden. Same difference.”

And then he was gone, leaving me alone in the jail cell that he had put me in.

Bastard.

No.

Asshole.
