She nodded and walked away on her tiptoes. Fuck, she had no idea the sunlight hit her body in the nightgown, showing the outline of her figure. Jesus, she was fucking beautiful. After the bathroom door closed, he rolled to a sitting position, grabbed the phone on the nightstand, and called down to the kitchen.
“Good morning, this is Dominic. Could you send up a tray of breakfast for us, please?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Thank you for the one we had last night. She fell asleep before trying anything, but I thought it was delicious.”
“Thank you, sir.”
He hung up and called Graham.
“Hey, how’d it go last night?” Graham asked.
“Good. I got her taken care of.”
“Faith is anxious to meet Rebeka.”
“I was thinking about that. She doesn’t know how much her life has changed, so I want to keep her in the room for a few days until she comes to grips with it.”
“Smart move. You don’t want her to try to escape withoutknowing and understanding everything.”
“No, I don’t. I have to leave sometime today to check on my lounges.”
“Do you have someone to manage it?” Graham asked.
“Yes. But I like to check in, and I’m renovating another one and want to check on the progress.”
“Just lock her in the room. She’ll be fine. We’ll check on her.”
Dominic turned his head when he caught movement from the corner of his eye. “Hey, I have to go. I’ll call you later.”
“You got it.”
Dominic put the phone down and turned to face her. He could tell she heard some of the conversation. Her arms were wrapped around her waist, and he could tell she was upset.
“I want to leave.”
“You can’t.”
“So I’m a prisoner here, too?” Rebeka asked.
He hated the tears in her eyes. He sighed. “For the time being, yes. It’s to keep you safe, baby.”
“Why?”
“Baby, I don’t think you realize the position you’re in.”
“So tell me.”
“The man who thinks he owns you won’t stop until he finds you.”
“What if I go to the police?” she asked.
He snorted. “That won’t help. His father has some friends in high places.”
“I’ll pack a bag and leave town.”
“You’d have to move around for the rest of your life. How are you going to support yourself?”
