Consciousness returned to Keira in waves, each one bringing with it a fresh surge of pain behind her eyelids. She wasn’t instantly aware. Whatever they had used to knock her out was effective.

The floor beneath her was cold and hard. Her head throbbed. Her mouth felt like it had been stuffed with cotton.

"Alexei," she mumbled, the events before her blackout rushing back in fragmented pieces.

She forced her eyes open, blinking against the harsh fluorescent light. She was in some kind of storage room, concrete floors, metal shelving stacked with boxes, a single window high on the wall letting in a sliver of moonlight. Her once-beautiful crimson dress was torn at the hem and smeared with dirt.

"Glad to see you rejoining the living."

Alexei's voice came from her left. She turned her head to find him propped against the wall near some shelving only a few feet away, his tuxedo jacket gone, white shirt stained with blood from a nasty gash at his temple. His hands were bound like hers, but he

    She turned toward him, her hands working at his belt. "Your turn."But he caught her hands again, his expression suddenly serious. "Keira, we need to talk about protection."Reality crashed back in. They were in a warehouse, held captive, with no access to contraception. The responsible thing would be to stop, to wait until they were safe and could take proper precautions.But looking into his eyes, feeling the connection between them that had nothing to do with physical attraction and everything to do with something deeper, she found she didn't care about being responsible. They may never get another chance at this. If things went badly she wanted to experience this. Forget doing the right thing."Are you on the pill?" he asked, his voice strained with the effort of stopping when they were both so far gone."No," she admitted. "But it wouldn't matter. I couldn't get to it anyway."His jaw tightened. "If we do this, you could get pregnant."The words made her freeze, thinking of her c

    "We should stop," she said, but her tone wasn't convincing even to her own ears."Please don't," Alexei murmured against her lips, his hand cupping the back of her neck as he pulled back slightly. "I don't want to stop.""Alexei," she breathed.She didn't pull away again. She didn't ask if this was a good idea or a mistake. He kissed her and she didn't hesitate in kissing him back. Instead something inside her melted, like it finally clicked in place.She groaned when he was the one to break their kiss.Alexei lifted his hand, tracing the line of her jaw, the pads of his fingers along her jawline his touch warm against her skin. Keira met his gaze.He was a man of contradictions, one who provoked and frustrated her, but also one who had stood between her and danger. If they ever got out of here, did she dare tell him he had stolen a piece of her heart? Was she ready for that? For him? This is all they might have.Alexei's thumb traced her bottom lip with tenderness. "I need you to be

    Nightfall brought a chill that seeped through the warehouse walls. Alexei's eyes had closed again, his body's desperate attempt to heal itself stealing his consciousness in waves. Hours passed with nothing but silence beyond their prison.Keira wrapped her arms around herself, shivering slightly as she watched the square of night sky through the high window. The room had darkened to the point where Alexei's face was just a pale oval in the gloom. She had turned out the light which hadn't been great in this room and turned on the bathroom light. Giving them just enough light to get to the bathroom to use the toilet if needed.Her stomach growled, reminding her that the meager dinner they'd been provided hadn't been nearly enough. They now had more water at least.A metallic clank outside their door made her jump. She held her breath, listening as footsteps approached, then receded again. The kidnappers were still there, patrolling perhaps, but not interested in checking on their captiv

    The men returned sooner than Keira expected. The door swung open with a metallic groan as three men entered. Two armed guards positioned themselves near the entrance while a third walked over to them, newspaper and phone in hand. Fucking cowards."Time for your close-up," the third dickhead said, all still had their faces covered, good thing right? "Your families need to see you're still breathing."Keira sat up straighter and more alert. She'd been watching over Alexei for the last hour, and he had seemed fine. So maybe he didn't have a brain bleed.Her mind raced. They needed these photos, which meant her sister and Roman had asked for proof of life. That was good. It meant they were working on something. If anyone could save them it was her family.Alexei stirred beside her on the cot, clearly disoriented from sleep and his concussion. She squeezed his arm in warning, silently urging him to get his bearings quickly."Don't make any sudden moves," the man said as he stepped closer.

    Agent Rogers stood in Roman and Blair's foyer, his presence unwanted despite the casual delivery disguise."How did you know?" Roman asked, his voice taut with suspicion."When foreign royalty gets kidnapped on US soil, the Bureau takes notice," Rogers replied, stepping further into the house. "Especially when a certain family with a history of... shall we say, unconventional problem-solving... gets involved.""That doesn't explain how." Roman narrowed his eyes on the FBI agent. He was going to get answers."There was a witness last night to the kidnapping. Unlike you lot, they came to the FBI. Which luckily I was the responding agent."Blair crossed her arms. "We were handling it.""It's good to see you, Blair, and I can see that," Rogers gestured toward the improvised command center. "Nice setup. Very Die Hard meets Ocean's Eleven." His gaze lingered on the equipment. "But I'm afraid this has become a federal matter of sorts."Luca stepped forward, his expression dangerously calm. "

    The new people arriving or returning hadn't come in to see them. Keira turned to Alexei, realizing now they didn't have their phones. The kidnappers must have taken them. Pretty stupid if they hadn't."What time do you think it is?" she asked.Alexei looked out the window where the sky was starting to lighten. "I would say almost 7 am.""I hate to think what my sisters are going through right now." Keira stood looking up at the window."You are the one being held hostage and you're worried about your sisters." There was no mockery in his tone, just a quiet observation.Keira gave him a look that spoke volumes. "My sister Blair is pregnant."Alexei's expression softened. He patted the floor beside him. "Tell me about your family.""What, now?""What, you have somewhere else to be?" His attempt at humor fell flat, but Keira appreciated the effort.She walked over to him, then sat down, putting her shoulder against his, seeking warmth as much as comfort. "Blair's my middle sister. She's
