Stay strong, Lourdes. You have to go.
Barely daring to breathe, she tiptoed to the trunk at the end of the bed where shed moved her suitcase and the clothes she wore earlier. She quickly pulled on her blouse, jeans, and shoes, then withdrew the key fob from Enriques jeans, which hed tossed haphazardly on the armchair. Once she slid the pieces of his phone back into place, she crept to the door. The red LED light on the mounted keypad glared at her, daring her to open the door without feeding it a set of numbers first.
She had just one chance to jump into the drivers seat before he caught her. To drive away, leaving him stranded. Furious.
Heart thudding, she unlatched the deadbolt and turned the handle. She paused, staring back over her shoulder.
He slept peacefully, oblivious to her betrayal.
Maldita sea. Thats exactly how he would see it. As betrayal, not as her trying to protect him. After rolling her tight shoulders, she pulled open the door and ran.
An alarm blared behind her. Shrill. Mechanical. Impossible to ignore.
Frigid mountain air kissed her skin. Motion-sensor lights lit her escape in stark white. Adrenaline quickened her pulse.
“Lourdes?”
Enriques groggy shout escaped the confines of the cabin. Fear skittered down her back. She smashed a button on the key fob, and a double beep echoed as the vehicle lights flashed in the driveway. The cabin alarm fell silent. Gravel crunched. Her eyes burned. The breeze lashed her hair across her face. Owls hooted, and crickets chirped somewhere in the forest, oblivious to her mad dash toward freedom.
Dont look back.
Footsteps pounded behind her. Closing in fast.
“Lourdes, stop!”
A heavy weight barreled into her, slamming her into the side of the vehicle. The SUV squeaked and jostled as she grunted, the jolt knocking the air from her lungs.
“Goddamn it. What is the matter with you?” Enrique whipped her around. “You fucking seduce me, then run? Was that your plan all along?”
She flinched in the light of his fury. Something like shame or admittance mustve crossed her face because the anger morphing his into a tight mask tripled right before her eyes. She swallowed hard. He crowded close to her, and the sharp teeth of his unfastened jeans scraped against her waist.
“Now, Im disappointed.” He snatched the key and phone from her, disassembled the cell, and tossed the items onto the hood of the SUV. “You think youre such a seductress? I told you the cabin was wired, yet you test me. Do you know what happens to girls who misbehave?”
