CHAPTER THIRTEENCole
Cole
I groan. Pain lances my skull, making light dance behind my eyelids. There’s an alarm blaring.
Fuck. I pry my eyes open and don’t recognize where I am. There’s a wood floor and a bed above me.
The cabin. Jayden. The girl.
The girl! I rise to my hands and knees, groaning. She knocked me the fuck out.
As I stand, I hear a clank. I look down to see my wrist cuffed. For a second I flash back to when I was a child, chained up and alone. Except for when I wasn’t.
I press my free hand to my eyes and force myself back to reality. I bark out a laugh. That damn minx.
Jayden’s gonna be pissed.
I fish in my pocket for the small key that my past forces me to always keep on me.
There’s a blaring noise that shoots pain through my head. I realize the door alarm is going off. I also hear my phone ringing in the distance.
I start moving that way and realize I’m barefoot. She’s taken my shoes and socks.
I grin as I pick up my phone. Jayden’s voice bites, “What’s going on?”
“It would appear our little prey has managed to escape for the moment.”
There’s deadly silence.
I head to the door to turn off the alarm. “Don’t freak out brother, we’ll get her.”
“Fuck,” he growls. “I’ve been calling you for five minutes.”
“I was indisposed for a bit. She knocked me over the head.”
“Christ, I knew something was up. I shouldn’t have left.”
“Where are you?”
“On my way back. Maybe 20 minutes out.”
I head downstairs for shoes, keeping Jayden on the line. I picture running her down. Grabbing her little body and pinning her beneath me. Her cry of fear. Her useless scrambles to get away.
I grin. My dick is hard as stone.
There’s plastic rustling on the other end of the line. “Fucking goddamn chocolate .”
I huff out a laugh. “We disconnected that fuse on my car, she’s not going anywhere.”
A thrill runs through me. Oh she’s going to be fun to hunt.
