cat getting petted, and I immediately stiffen.
    His lips curl into a knowing smile. The bastard knows the effect he has on me. “A long time, I hope,” he says.
    For some reason, I’m not surprised. He wouldn’t have bothered bringing me all the way here if he just wanted to fuck me a few times. I’m terrified, but I’m not surprised.
    I gather my courage and ask the next logical question. “Why did you kidnap me?”
    The smile leaves his face. He doesn’t answer, just looks at me with an inscrutable blue gaze.
    I begin to shake. “Are you going to kill me?”
    “No, Nora, I won’t kill you.”
    His denial reassures me, although he could obviously be lying.
    “Are you going to sell me?” I can barely get the words out. “Like to be a prostitute or something?”
    “No,” he says softly. “Never. You’re mine and mine alone.”
    I feel a tiny bit calmer, but there is one more thing I have to know. “Are you going to hurt me?”
    For a moment, he doesn’t answer again. Something dark briefly flashes in his eyes. “Probably,” he says quietly.
    And then he leans down and kisses me, his warm lips soft and gentle on mine.
    For a second, I stand there frozen, unresponsive. I believe him. I know he’s telling the truth when he says he’ll hurt me. There’s something in him that scares me—that has scared me from the very beginning.
    He’s nothing like the boys I’ve gone on dates with. He’s capable of anything.
    And I’m completely at his mercy.
    I think about trying to fight him again. That would be the normal thing to do in my situation. The brave thing to do.
    And yet I don’t do it.
    I can feel the darkness inside him. There’s something wrong with him. His outer beauty hides something monstrous underneath.
    I don’t want to unleash that darkness. I don’t know what will happen if I do.
    So I stand still in his embrace and let him kiss me. And when he picks me up again and takes me to bed, I don’t try to resist in any way.
    Instead, I close my eyes and give in to the sensations.
