Page 70 of To Ignite a Dragon's Desire

I pushed myself back against the tub, feeling my heart beat faster as I looked around for a weapon. “You drugged me.”

“The way I see it, we’re even.” He unzipped his fly and started pissing all over the toilet seat. His hairy butt peeked out from under the waistband of his jeans.

I shuddered.

What did I ever see in him?

Nothing now. I didn’t know how I’d fallen into his clutches in the first place. I was smart. Pretty-ish. Not weak. But maybe it didn’t matter who or what I was—even the best of us could be trapped in a nightmare if we weren’t careful where we went to sleep.

“Are you all right?” He shook himself dry before tucking back into his pants. “Did you want to rinse off or something?”

The fake concern in his voice made me sick.

“You. Drugged. Me,” I spat through clenched teeth as I slowly climbed to my feet.

“You drugged me first.” The world swayed a little as Drew put his hands in the air. “And you were the one screaming, out of control. I figured it’d help you calm down a bit so we could finish our little talk.”

“Are you crazy?” I asked in a rush.

For so long, I wondered if I was the crazy one, but if I’d just listened to my gut, I’d have known the truth.

“Crazy?” He tsked. “Come on now. You’re the one who rode in on a random guy’s motorcycle like some Harley Davidson slut.”

Random guy?A laugh bubbled in my chest.

If only Drew knew…

Hope flittered in my stomach.

Lucan.

I had to survive this for him.

“And you really dropped your phone on the road?” Drew was still talking. “It’s a good thing you made it to me. The desert isn’t a safe place for women to be alone.”

I glanced at the door, knowing my purse was out there somewhere. He must’ve gone through it. That meant he had my knife.

At least I had the foresight to dump my phone before he could get into it and read my texts. It was probably the only reason we were still here talking instead of on the road.

I should’ve expected this, though. Should’ve stayed one step ahead.

In your defense, where’d he even get drugs?

On second thought, I didn’t want to know.

But I needed to keep him talking for a minute until my head completely cleared and I could think my way out of this.

“What exactly did you see happening after you shot me full of drugs?”

“Quit being dramatic.” Drew rolled his eyes. “It wasn’t that much. Sheila takes twice the amount and she’s skinnier than you.”

Sheila…

You know what?

I also didn’t care to know.

“Fine.” I forced myself to smile. “What do you want to happen now?”
