said.
    “What do you possibly get out this agreement?” she asked.
    Daren stared at her for several moments without speaking. His gaze didn’t roam her body, nor did he show any signs of attacking her. “You’re too young to understand the world.”
    “I’m twenty-fucking-five, Daren. I’m sure I’m over the edge for a lot of people.” The anger rose inside her at his words. “You’ve taken me away from James and my town. I think I deserve to know exactly what you want with me.”
    “Then I can tell you that I want fuck all from you. My boss may be a different way inclined.”
    Daren kept mentioning a boss, which only settled to put her on edge. If there was someone else out there worse than Daren then she never wanted to meet them.
    “I’m more than happy to keep you confined to this room for the remainder of the journey to England, but I think the trip would drive you crazy. Be good, and I might let you out.” Daren winked at her then closed the door locking it behind him.
    Why had he visited her ? Did he want to freak her out with his horrid words? She touched her neck, missing the comfort of James’s necklace.
    “Take deep breaths,” she said. “Everything will be all right. James will fix everything , and this will be a bad dream.”
    She took several deep breaths to try to rid her mind of the panic so close to the surface. Her life had taken an unexpected turn. She didn’t want to continue on this path. Prue wished she could open her eyes and be back in James’s study without any fear or worry. He’d smile at her, and everything would be all right in the world.
    Standing up in her small room, Prue moved toward the window. She wondered how long she’d be forced to remain on this boat. The thought of travelling to England held little excitement. She’d never wanted to visit England.
    The hours passed. She didn’t know how much time had passed before the lock was being turned in her door. Turning, she saw Daren stood with a plate of food.
    “I thought I’d bring you something to eat. It is past seven and has been awhile since you ate.”
    He closed the door then took a seat on the bed.
    “I thought you’d starve me,” she said.
    “I’d do no such thing, unless I’m told to.”
    “All you do is take orders?”
    “No, most of the time I work alone. This, however, is a difficult matte r, and I need every option open to me.”
    Prue stared at him confused. Why was he confiding in her?
    “I brought you something,” he said, going behind his back. She tensed waiting for something horrible to happen.
    Her gaze searched his hands.
    “I’ve come to help your face as it looks a little swollen.” Daren patted the bed beside him.
    Cautiously, Prue approached the bed waiting for him to lash out or do something she’d regret.
    When he made no other move to touch her, she sat down on the firm mattress with her hands in her lap.
    Daren placed the medical kit beside him on the bed then lifted up a piece of fruit. “You need to eat to keep your strength up.” He pressed the fruit against her lips. She opened her mouth , accepting the food he offered.
    “I can feed myself,” she said.
    He pushed the plate next to her. Slowly, she took bites of each delicious fruit and preserved meats on the tray. Her gaze never left his as she ate.
    The man before her watched her , clearly waiting for something.
    “Have you spoken to James again?” She recalled what happened during their last conversation. Her appetite vanished at the pain his hands could cause.
    “No, I’ve no cause to speak with him. I imagine he’s doing everything he can to find what I’ve asked him to. You’re his woman, but I think this will be fun.”
    “How so?” she asked.
    “The Owners have never been without their women. I’m paid to know everything about my competition, and I know all about their fucking possessive streak. Since learning more about them, I’ve often wondered what would happen when one of their women was
