Page 87 of Prey

Fuck me, but I thought my heart had stopped beating when I saw her standing there in the middle of the bar, afraid someone might have recognized her.

Afraid I wouldn’t be able to protect her, even with Micah by my side.

It didn’t look like Dominic had seen her.

He would have texted me by now if he had.

What the hell was I supposed to do?

I didn’t need to ask her how she found me.

The little minx didn’t think I knew she had put a tracking device on my phone.

I let her have her fun. I didn’t think there would be any harm to it, considering I had put tracking on her phone too.

I should have fucking checked on her. Perhaps then, I wouldn’t have been so surprised seeing her standing there, like a fucking gazelle in a room full of lions.

The little innocent didn’t even know.

And Micah had been fucking amused by the entire thing.

“Aren’t you going to say anything?” she asked.

I looked at her, even though I could barely see her in the dark interior of the truck.

What the fuck did she want me to say?

Right now, I didn’t know how to open my mouth without saying something mean that would no doubt make her cry.

And fuck me, but that was the last thing I wanted.

She thumped me on the chest.

What the fuck?

“Roman.”

My jaw clenched as I pulled us to the side of the road, letting the engine rumble in the quiet night.

“What do you want me to say?”

“I don’t know. Anything? To let me know what you’re thinking? Or hell, feeling?”

I turned to her. I knew she couldn’t see me, but I had no doubt she could feel my eyes on her.

She shifted a little further away from me, her side hitting against the door.

I smiled in the dark.

She was trapped in here with me. Where the hell did she think she could go?

I unbuckled my seatbelt and then reached over for hers. She jumped from the click that sounded out to the near-silent car.

“You want to know what I’m feeling?” I asked her, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her toward me.

She struggled in my hold, flinching when another car drove past us, but I didn’t let her go.

I moved her onto my lap, positioning her so that she was straddling me. I pushed her down so she could feel my fucking hard-on.
