Chapter Forty Three

Skyla

A rough jerk shakes me awake. My eyes are heavy and my body sluggish. God. I don't even remember falling asleep. One minute, we were in the kitchen, post-orgasm bliss and the next…lights out.

God, I must have been so exhausted.

When I'm finally able to pry my eyes open, I freeze. What the fuck.

I'm not in my bed, not in Asher's, not even in Liam's. I'm in a car, the backseat of a car and it's pitch black outside. Based on the way the trees out the window look, I'd guess I'm flying down the road. Either on a highway or speeding down backroads.

I go to lift my hand when I notice I can't. My hands are tied together with thick rope, my legs also wrapped tightly at my ankles. I'm dressed, so I guess that means I was able to slip on my leggings and panties again before I fell asleep, but where the fuck am I?

It's hard to see anything, but occasionally, a light will illuminate the cab. It's easy to tell that this isn't any of the guy's cars and fear grips me like a vice. Oh my god. It's him. He's finally got to me, hasn't he? How did he get in? How did he get to me? How did I not wake up? Where are the guys? Oh my god. What if they're hurt? What if it's too late for them…what if it's too late for me?

My body is shaking, adrenaline and terror filling my veins as I strain to look around the seat. I see a large body in the front seat, a black jacket and black gloves on his hands as he steers. A streetlight is coming up, and I know that at least the mystery of who my stalker is will be solved. Unfortunately, it's being solved in one of the most dangerous ways possible.

My stomach turns, my breathing quickening as the car is illuminated for only a second or two. It was long enough, though, and the shock of it all nearly takes my breath away. Him?! How could it be him? How could he? How could I have not seen this coming? Oh, my fucking god.

"Y-you," I stutter. "I-it's you? Y-you're my m-my stalker?"

He turns to look at me, a sinister smile spreading across his face as he takes me in.

"I told you it wouldn't be too long, my love."
