Crossing my arms over my chest I glared at the men beside me. They were both huge, all muscle. The guy to my left was in his early to mid-twenties, with a military short hair and big brown eyes. The man on my right had the same short military style cut, but his hair was blond. I looked up to the review mirror and narrowed my gaze. I didn’t get a good look at the guy driving, but he seemed to be the tallest of the lot, and from the quick look I’d gotten, the scariest. He reminded me of Lurch, with almost black eyes and the haircut. The only difference between him and the TV character was this guy had wicked looking tatts. The man I focused my attention on though was the guy in the passenger seat. He was the one who’d captured me and placed me in the SUV between big guy one and two. “You can’t do this you know. This is kidnapping.”
The man in the passenger seat turned, his leaf green eyes laser me with a ‘don’t mess with me look’. His hair is dark with white sprinkled mostly on the sides. His jaw is square and he is quite handsome in an, ‘I could kill you with my pinkie’ kind of way. He seemed to be the guy in charge. “I’d like to see you find law enforcement willing to hear you accuse a Silverman of kidnapping.” He raised a salt and pepper brow. “Carl is one of the most respected Silvermans too.”
“Ha! Respected my arse.” My snort is very unladylike. “He’s insane. They’re all crazy.” The men I’d heard on the phone to Carl didn’t sound any saner than him.
The big guy next to me chuckled. “They are, but they pay extremely well with huge bonuses, and are one of the most well-known, wealthiest families in the world, have connections everywhere, and if you’re lucky enough to work for them and they like you they treat you like family.”
“Matthew, shut it.”
Ah, lefty’s name was Mathew.
“Lighten up, Rafe.” Mathew shot back.
Blondie on my right spoke and his voice was deep. “I may have only been working for Mason for two years, but I’ve heard enough and have seen Stephan and Richard with Jade and Bailey and know what this woman between us is to Dr. Carl. She’s around for good.” Blondie laughed. “Mason is shitting bricks. And what I’ve heard from some of the other guys so are a lot of the other Silverman men. They’re all freaking about the Curse—”
“Don’t say another fucking word, Joseph,” Rafe snarled.
Great. Now the only guy’s name I didn’t know was the guy driving. He looked like Lurch, so that’s what I’d call him.
“So Lurch, are you going to add your input?” Mathew and Joseph burst out laughing as I stared up at the rearview mirror.
The man grunted and I burst out laughing. I mean, come on, if he was trying to change my name for him he failed miserably. Plus, I think the insanity was starting to catch. I mean, shouldn’t I be crying and terrified, not laughing and antagonizing the scary men?
“I like her.” Mathew commented. “She has sass. She’s going to need that to survive a life with a Silverman.”
Rafe groaned. “Mathew, seriously shut up.”
The terrain changed. We were driving down the winding path to the cabin gates. My stupid stomach flip flopped and I wondered how mad Carl would be. I closed my eyes and took a deep calming breath. Maybe he’d punish me. His hands were quite big. I bet they’d make marks on my arse. Oohh, a spanking. Was he into rope play? Would he tie me up and have his wicked way with me? My body heated and I shivered in anticipation. Opening my eyes I saw that the gates were open. When I’d run they’d been closed. The two guys I sat between stared at me. Argh, what the hell was wrong with me? I wasn’t into any of what I just thought about. I glanced up at the mirror and saw I was bright red. Damn something was wrong with me.
The car stopped and Rafe got out leaving the door open. I watched as Carl exited the…what the hell? “That is not a friggin’ cabin. A lodge, a wooden mansion, but not a cabin. A cabin is a cute little dwelling. That this thing is huge.”
“I told you the Silvermans are richer than God.” Mathew nudged me with his elbow.
I looked over at Rafe and Carl. Rafe smirked at Carl. “We found something I think you lost.”
Carl’s gaze darted over to the car and I sank down in the seat. The predatory look came over his face and I felt like a mouse being stalked by a very hungry cat. He’d changed from the suit to black shorts and a white wife beater, and damn, if he didn’t look just as hot in that as he did in a suit.
“Why the fuck is she sandwiched between two men?” His growl should have scared me, but it had the opposite effect. My pussy clenched and my breasts tingled and ached. I’d never been so horny in all my life. There was something very, very wrong with me.
