My heart is in my throat as I think about my options. There’s only really one. I need to run him off the road.
Swerving over his way, he slows, falling in behind me.
I try to take deep breaths to keep my panic down.
It’s going to be okay.
He repeats his actions, driving me off the road again. I move back toward him, trying to force him off the other side.
He yells something, but I can’t hear it. My ears are thundering with the sound of my own rapid heartbeat.
The third time’s the charm for him. This time he forces me off of the road so far that I hit a small hill, my car going flying. At first, I think I’m going to be okay. Then it hits the ground, my car flipping several times.
I grow dizzy as the car comes to a stop upside down. I feel like I am going to puke.
I can see Biggy walking my way.
“No. Don’t. Please,” I mumble, but it’s no use.
My vision grows dark.
That’s the last thing I see.
I didn’t want to wake up early in the morning to go to a meeting with Savage, but when duty calls, you go. I would haverather been cuddled up with Cami until she had to leave for her interview.
Hell, I wanted to go with her to it, but she told me I couldn’t go. She had to do this on her own.
Truth be told, I think she is nervous and she thought having me along might have made her nerves worse.
Plus, she is still not quite so used to relying on me. I don’t know if she will ever get used to it. With her having to live so much of her life alone, I can see why she would rather keep her independence.
So with much reluctance, I left her sleeping soundly in bed this morning without me. I didn’t even wake her for a morning orgasm because I knew she wanted to be well rested for this appointment.
Her needs will always come before my own.
“You sure that’s the best route?” Savage asks me, looking over the maps again.
He isn’t trying to question my knowledge. He is confirming that I have no doubts. It’s the way we work together. I tell him my thoughts, and he questions them so that I can look at them from other angles.
Reaper used to be like that too. I think that’s why I didn’t mind leaving my old chapter. I knew I was going to find my own place within this one.
“Absolutely.”
I can feel my phone vibrating, but I ignore it. I want to pull it out and make sure it’s not Cami, but she knows I’m in a meeting and will understand.
Seconds later, Savage’s phone lights up. He frowns.
“It’s Bailey,” he tells me as he answers, “What’s up? What? Hold on. Let me put you on speaker.”
He sets the phone between us. A dark aura surrounds me as he does. This isn’t good if he is putting it on speaker.
“I got a call from my reporter friend. She was wondering if something happened because Cami never showed up. I called her, but she’s not answering.” Bailey’s panicked tone comes through the phone.
My own panic begins to rise. “She was excited about the interview. She wouldn’t bail.”
I want to lose my shit. I feel so out of control right now, but I can’t. I need to keep it together.
For Cami.
