Richard: Caveman Instinct --- Gypsy Curse Book 2 Read Online Free Page A

hoped if I tried to explain everything, he’d let me go. “I’m vision impaired. I don’t know what you think you know about me, but I’m not blind, well, not completely. I can’t see you if you stand directly in front of me. I have to turn my head to the side. I have a rare eye condition called Horizontal Perpendicular Nystagmus, which causes my eyes to make repetitive, uncontrolled movements from side-to-side. I can see, though, just out the side of my eyes.” I knew I was rambling, but I was so scared, and my head hurt from hitting the corner wall, and my side hurt from hitting hard into the table. “Please, let me go now. I’m sure my friends have called my brother and the police will be beating down the door.”
    He chuckled. “Do you know who I am?”
    I shook my head. I didn’t believe he was a Silverman. The ones I’d met were sane. Surely, I’d have heard of a crazy one. The Silverman’s were well known.
    “I’ll tell you again. I’m Richard Silverman. I have three brothers. Zeck, Mason, and my youngest brother Andrew is in year eleven. My mother is Gillian and my father’s name is Albert. I have a bunch of cousins. Would you like me to name them, too?”
    Holy shit, he couldn’t be. This couldn’t be Mason and Andrew’s oldest brother. Surely, it would have been known if they had a crazy brother. Ethan dealt with Zeck. I’d met him and he seemed sane, but I really hadn’t been taking notice of his personality. He was super-hot, and he talked to me like I was normal, which just made him even more attractive. All the Silvermans were handsome, though. Mason had been a year above me and Andrew was a year below me.
    Nibbling on my lip, I tilted my head and moved so I straddled him and was close to his face. If he were a Silverman, he shouldn’t harm me. I focused my gaze on Richard. The longer I stared, the more my eyes focused and the more I could see the resemblance to Mason, Andrew and Zeck. “Oh. My. God. Why did you take me? I know your family. I’ve met your brothers. They go to my school. Mason and Zeck are …well, Andrew is, too. They’re, just so, so…” She licked her lips at just the thought of the wickedly sexy Silverman. “Well, they’re so ho—”
    “Be careful what you say, my little Raven. They may be my brothers, but I’ll still beat their arses. So choose your words carefully.”
    “Um, well, I knew your brot… er, everyone knows your brothers. Zeck, he, um… deals with my brother, Ethan. I’ve met some of your other family members, too. They’re all…They…”  Shit. I was so nervous. Pinching my arm, I closed my eyes and winced. Opening them, I gazed up at swirling blue orbs.
    “Why are you hurting yourself?” He gathered my hands into his own, bringing one up, he kissed each knuckle repeating the process with my other hand. Stiffening in his hold, my stomach flip-flopped, but I still wasn’t a hundred percent sure if all this was real or some cruel joke.
    “This is all so weird. Why did you take me, and please give me a real answer and not that silly ‘you’re mine’ crap.” I was proud of myself for keeping my voice firm and clear.
    Richard let go of my hands and moved them to stroke my back in a soothing motion. “The Silverman’s have what I call a gift. Some in the family call it a curse. The story goes, in the old country, we helped save a group of gypsies, and they gifted us with prosperity and the ability to know our soul mate.” He sighed loudly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath in then slowly let it out. I watched him, transfixed by his every movement. “Awesome, lucky us, I’m sure you’re thinking.”
    I didn’t think that at all. The more he spoke, the more I was sure he was loco and had a few screws loose. I was starting to feel sorry for him.
    “Yeah, the gypsies forgot to mention when we find our soul mate, we turn into possessive cavemen. You, Bailey Rodgers, are my mate. My soulmate.”
    I stared up into the most
