Chapter 119
Dom was there. Just like she had known he would be.
Madison ignored the arm around her neck and tried to calm herself down.
She felt like her heart was going to beat right out of her chest. “I…this was not how I intended to spend the night, you know. I was going to drag you up to my suite at the Castle of Ostentatiousness and do things to you. Talk to you about…maybe…having a few cavebabies someday. After…we played with Heather’s little girls tonight, of course.
Read Frankie a Wonkus McBubbles story. Helped Heather get Ember into her sleeper.
I love rocking that baby girl. They are so wonderful. And I…really…I had plans for you.”
“Well, as soon as we are out of here, I think we’ll do that.
How many cavebabies do you want, sweetheart?
Two or three would probably be something we can handle.
They’ll probably be into everything. But…
my dad, your mom—they’ll babysit when we need it, I’m sure.
Or Max. He’ll be one hell of an uncle, that kid. ”
“How sweet, Acardi. Maybe you’ll name one Ernie,” Newcomb just had to add.
“Hardly, pal.” Madison dug her fingernails into his arm as hard as she could. He cursed and tightened his hold. She tried to bite him, but it didn’t work.
Madison dropped one hand. There was one other trick her stepfather had taught her. Told her it worked every time.
She had to get his arm off her, so she could…get to Dom.
Madison was going to get to Dom, and they were going to get out of here, forever.
She reached behind her.
He was wearing thin trousers. And she strongly suspected pretty boy Ernie wore thin silk skivvies—or tidy whities. He seemed the tidy whitie type.
She grabbed. Right on target. And twisted. As hard as she possibly could.
He howled. Screeched. Jerked back. “Let me go!”
“Oh, poor baby. Mads has Ernie by the balls, and he can’t handle it. Make a trade, Ernie. You let go of my neck,” Madison yelled it. So Dom knew what was happening. She didn’t know if he could see her or not. “And I’ll let go of your balls!”
Madison gave a vicious twist.
He keened. Like she was killing him through his penis.
Ernie dropped his arm. And Madison could breathe again.
She stepped away from him as fast as she could. “He has a gun!”
Then she heard it.
The sound of rock crumbling beneath her.
