"Go away, Hendrix. I just want one night to myself." Not true. I was torn between wanting many nights to myself and wanting him to hold me. Right now, with the door between us, I couldfortify my walls and keep him at bay. The same couldn't be said if he was standing in front of me.

"I told you I would see you later, Mais. This is me keeping that promise."

"Well, I'm relieving you of that promise!" I shouted louder as I walked into the bathroom to turn on the shower.

In hindsight, I should've waited to take a shower. I should've known trying to drown out Hendrix was a bad idea because it only gave him time to break into my apartment without me hearing him.

"Not a chance, sweetheart." Hendrix's boom filled the small room as quickly as the steam from the shower.

I whipped around with a scowl on my face. Thank goodness I hadn’t even had time to get undressed otherwise my words wouldn’t have the desired effect. "What the hell are you doing?" I would have asked him how he got in if I didn't already know the answer.

"Taking you home, where you belong." He pushed past me and shut off the shower.

Since I wasn't about to let him best me that easily, I returned the favor with my own shove and turned the water back on.

This caused Hendrix to growl, a sexy sound that shot straight to my nether regions. For that reason alone, I hated him. "This ismyhome and you broke in. AGAIN, mind you. So how about you show yourself back out the door so I can get on with my evening?”

I was hot and sticky from baking most of the afternoon. I desperately needed out of these clothes and into something fresh, so a shower right now would make a world of difference.

Not that Hendrix cared because he once again shut mine off, but before I could say anything, he was bending down. At first I was confused as to what the hell he was doing, but theneverything made sense when he tossed me over his shoulder so I was left to look at his ass. His mighty fine ass.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing? Put me down!"

I tried to kick at him but both of his arms were wrapped around my legs keeping me from getting any force behind the movement of my feet. My only other defense was to pull myself up so it made it harder for him to control me.

"I already told you, I'm taking you home where you belong. We could've done this the easy way but you had to be stubborn. Oh, and you might want to duck your head before you bang it on the door."

For the sake of my skull, I dropped back down. I also stayed down while Hendrix maneuvered down the outside steps. I was stubborn but I didn't have a death wish. One shift of unbalance and we would both be tumbling to our deaths.

Okay, maybe not death, but it would sure hurt and I didn't want to spend the night in the emergency room.

Once I was sure we were back on flat ground, I resumed my efforts to get away. "This is kidnapping, you know."

"Well aware. Just don't really care."

Huh. Well, alrighty then.

I heard a car door open right before Hendrix warned, "Watch your head." Then without any grace whatsoever, I was unceremoniously plopped into the backseat.

Because apparently Hendrix knew I would attempt to make a run for it, I tried to open the car door.

"Child locks?Are you for friggin’ real right now?" I screamed at him as he slid into the driver's seat.

"Don't underestimate the lengths I will go to for you."

I threw myself back into the seat like a petulant child with my arms crossed and a deep frown on my face.

I used the short ride to his house to come up with a plan to escape. Unfortunately, my brain wasn't being cooperative andthe best I could do was kick at him when he opened the door for me. Hendrix proved that despite his age, he was much faster than me and had one arm looped around my legs before I could connect with his chest.

"You're making this very difficult, you know."

"You're kidnapping me! It wouldn't be difficult at all if you just listened to me and left me alone."

"No can do, sweetheart. Your place is officially with me from here on out."

Wait, was he serious? I never agreed to that.

"I'm starting to think you've taken one too many blows to the head because there's no way you can be this dense right now. I only stayed with you because I thought I was going to jail. That's it."
