A metallic tang filled Zoe’s mouth, her tongue bitten to hold back a sarcastic retort. Gazing up at her former friend, Zoe wondered just how many signs she’d missed. The woman before her had all the features of kind, cautious Sienna but the moment her mouth opened, it was like her entire body was possessed by the devil – a feminine shell oozing pure evil. If Zoe had been so blind to miss who her friend truly was, what was the likelihood she’d misread Jon?“You’ve worked at the club for five years,” Zoe murmured. “Why didn’t you take him out at any point during that time? Why go after the girls his with?”“What was I supposed to do, Zoe? Shoot him at the fucking table?” she barked, clearly infuriated by Zoe’s intrusive line of questioning. In an instant though, her face had snapped back to cool, calm and collected, the transition prickling Zoe’s skin. “It’s a lot to process, I know. How about I give you some time to think about it? Say twenty-four hours?” She swooped forward, looping h

“Wh-what are you doing here, Sienna?”Manicured fingers slid into the pockets of her suit pants, wedged heels clumping against the dirt as Sienna strode forward, lips puckering at the name echoing in the dank cavern of the basement. “God, I hate that fucking name,” she spat. “You can call me Alexis…” she paused for dramatic effect, stiffening when Zoe failed to recognize the connection. “Polanski.”“Polanski?” Heated tears stung the corners of Zoe’s eyes, teetering along her waterline. “We were friends. How could… how could you pretend to be someone else for all this time?”Sienna snickered, blonde hair swaying as she twisted her head from side to side. “I thought we were friends too, Zoe. I tried everything to keep you away from Jon, didn’t I? I gave you the proof, I begged you, I gave you a warning and when you were still too damn stupid, I organized that attempted abduction in the hopes you would be so terrified you would choose to stay away from him on your own,” she paused in fro

Scraping his fingernails through the reddened trenches on his scalp, Jon shot an aggravated glance toward Booker. The old man was leaning against the car door, wheezing, pausing momentarily to cough into his checkered handkerchief before casting his gaze to Jermaine.“Have you fucking tracked the plate yet?”“It’s takin’ a little longer than usual, I know, kid, but just take a breath-”Black eyes bore down on the old man, Jon’s lungs blazing as rage boiled in his throat. “Don’t you dare tell me to take a fucking breath. The only reason I’m not losing my fucking mind right now is because I need to find her before…” The words died in his chest, not capable of entertaining the thought of something terrible happening to Zoe.Jermaine hollered from the passenger’s seat, snapping Jon from the horrible thoughts intrusively infiltrating his mind. His head bobbed, the phone hooked between his ear and shoulder as he motioned for Booker to come over. “It’s been traced, Book, back to a guy named

The car swerved, jolting Zoe’s head from the cradle of her knees. She blinked once, twice, trying to find some light in the darkness now shrouding the car. There was none.“George?” she swallowed, casting her gaze to the now-shadowed man in the front seat. “Why is it so dark?”“We’re underground.”He popped open his door. The seat scrunched against the fabric of his pants. Within a second, he’d swung open Zoe’s door, his breath – hot and musty – closing in on her. His hand gripped her arm, yanking her from the narrow space she’d wedged herself in. “Walk straight ahead. There’s a door right in front of you.”Zoe’s heart leapt to her throat, an eerie sense of unease falling over her. She glanced over her shoulder, realizing an attempt to escape would be futile. The dark was too thick, completely consuming her surroundings. George kept his grip tight on her wrist, marching forward into the pitch black. A crunch echoed in the silence, George’s free hand pushing on a door she couldn’t see,

The bed shifted, Jon stirring as he strained to lift the heavy lids covering his eyes. Exhaustion sank into his muscles. Slender fingers slid across his back, brushing soothing circles over the thin fabric of his t-shirt. His body visibly relaxed beneath the gentle touch, eyes still closed as the warmth of her chest pressed against him beneath the comforter.“I couldn’t sleep without you.” Zoe kissed his shoulder, the waves of her hair rustling as she nuzzled deeper into his frame.Cracking his eyes open, Jon’s heart thudded beneath the tight skin of his chest, the realization that she was back hitting him squarely in the face. He hastily shifted, rolling to take in the small furrow of her brows, the tear-stained cheeks. “Fuck, Zoe. I’m so fucking sorry,” he murmured, wide palm cupping her cheek as he tentatively scooped forward. “It was so fucking dumb and-”Zoe closed the gap between them, his words dying out against supple lips. “It was really stupid,” she whispered, her fingers da

“How am I going to know it’s you?” Zoe squeaked, rising on trembling legs as the whooshing of her heartbeat echoed in her ears. She steadied herself on the vanity, feeling a fresh wave of nausea roil her stomach.“Black button-down. Grey tie. Short brown hair.”He was clipped, curt and Zoe assumed he was trying to avoid detection. The phone disconnected, her legs hastily moving as she scrambled to pack a bag with enough essentials to last her a week, at least. Hoisting up her flimsy mattress, she clutched the small amount of cash she’d saved and stuffed it into her duffel. Thank God she’d taken to working the floor, she sighed. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have had the money to pay George’s discounted price.A sharp rap rang through the terse apartment. Tiptoeing to the front door, her heart thudding in her throat, Zoe pressed her eye to the peephole. A stocky figure stood in the doorway, distorted by the lens. She spied the black button-down, the grey tie, the cropped brown hair. It w

Burnt orange quilts spilled along the sofa Zoe was curled up on, the warmth of its rays coating her arms and face as she unfurled, stretching aching muscles. Peeking over her shoulder, Zoe stifled a giggle at Anja’s undignified position. Sprawled awkwardly over the recliner, Anja’s neck was twisted

Melting into the mattress, Zoe’s breath hitched in her throat as damp lips trailed down the side of her neck, taking a moment to nip at her ear lobe, catching the elastic flesh in his teeth. His breath was hot against the shell of her ear, the rumbling of his arousal thick in his throat.“I don’t kn

Nothing could’ve kept me away from you.The words tinkled in her ears, radiating down to thrum the chords of her heart. Blue eyes lifted, scanning his fatigued features for any sign of injury. Aside from the darkening beneath his eyes, a side effect of a lack of sleep, she found him unharmed. He sm

Four days.It had been four long, torturous days since Zoe had last heard from Jon. He’d called, late at night and almost incoherent. She’d been so frightened, so worried something had happened to him or was about to. He’d sworn he was okay, but the off kilter way he spoke, the emotion quivering hi
