been married to that bastard—hell, she could still be. That’s why she wanted to find justice for him.
I was disgusted with the emotions coursing through me. I tossed the file on the ground and left the room. She had no way to escape because my men had the place surrounded, but I needed to get some air. I walked out into the light rain, tilting my head up to catch the cleansing water on my face. All of a sudden taking her seemed all the more important, like I had more to prove. I hated Santini even more than I already did. After catching my breath, I looked at my guy and took the ties he had in his hand. It was time to take her away now. She was closer to the situation than just an eager detective. Lana had graced his bed. Revulsion and pure jealousy coated my mind. I shook off the feeling and walked back into her tiny house.
“It’s time to go, Lana,” I said as I entered the room. I knew she would try to hit me with whatever she could get her hands on so I came through the door in a roll, catching her off guard. I wrapped my hands around her thighs and took her down on to the carpet. My face landed right on her sweet snatch and I didn’t miss the opportunity to take a sniff of her heat. I could smell her arousal; she was actually turned on. It could stem from fear or from real desire. I’d find out soon. I kissed her covered mound lightly and pushed off before I used the zip ties.
“Let me go!” Lana screeched. She didn’t even flinch when I touched her heat with my mouth. Damn, I what I could do to her. It’d be only a matter of time before I had her bouncing greedily on my cock.
Lana continued to squirm as I used the ties. As a cop she knew that she was only going to hurt herself by struggling. “You can be quiet and this will go smoothly and painlessly…or you can continue to piss me off, and it won’t work out so well for you.”
She tried to sound tough as I got up from the ground. “You’ll pay for this,” Lana hissed from her now seated position on the floor.
My grin was so huge it should have frightened her, but she still had her tough girl panties on. “No, I won’t,” I said.
I scooped her up and flipped her over my shoulder, her jeans brushing lightly against my face. Then it dawned on me that she slipped on some clothes. I smiled because she thought it was a barrier between us, but if I wanted, it wouldn’t be. I walked calmly to my car and dropped her in the trunk.
“Where are you taking me?” Lana asked, shaking Sergei out of his thoughts.
“You’ll see when we get there.” He looked at the defeated beauty and regret was starting to seep in. He didn’t like her tied up like that, but he also knew she wouldn’t behave if he let her loose again.
“I know why you’ve been looking for Santini.”
“Why does it matter? Are you going to tell me where you buried him?”
“I told you before, I didn’t do anything to him. Not that I didn’t or still don’t want to rip his heart out, but when it comes to Santini, my conscience is clean.”
Lana just stared at him for a moment before she asked the question that was written in her expression. “Are you going to kill me?”
“Not if you behave,” Sergei answered. He had no intention of harming her, let alone take her life. No, as every second passed he was certain the guys were right.
“I’m supposed to believe you?” she asked with ridicule.
Sergei was offended, but due to the circumstances he’d let it go. “No, but it’s your choice how you want to handle your captivity.”
“Hmm…” Lana said, before turning away from Sergei to stare at the wall.
He could see the fatigue of the past two hours was wearing on her, and he didn’t like that he was to blame for her being uncomfortable. “Are you tired?”
“Yes, I am,” Lana said sleepily, eyes closed and head pressed against the head rest. Sergei stared at her, thinking about what was best. He would offer a compromise.
“I can’t trust you to behave
