'Who the hell are you? What are you doing? Let go, mm-'
Callie's protest was silenced by the man's rough hand clamped over her mouth.
Who would've thought that after finishing her night shift and returning home, she'd get ambushed right at her doorstep!
No black belt in self-defence here, but if this guy thought she'd be easy prey, he was dead wrong!
Callie swallowed hard and chomped down on the man's palm, hoping to inflict some serious pain.
To her surprise, the man didn't even flinch, not even a tiny groan.
Instead, he tightened his grip.
What was wrong with this guy?
Maybe her bite wasn't quite 'chompy' enough?
Just as Callie geared up for another bite, she heard approaching footsteps and men's voices.
More accomplices?
Since when did muggers operate in groups?
A man's slightly nasal voice said, 'I just got word from HQ. He killed Viper! This time, we can't let him slip away.'
'Don't worry! He's wounded, ain't going far.'
'But if he does escape, we're screwed!'
.
Callie's heart pounded so loudly in her chest, she was surprised the men didn't hear it.
Wait, could the 'he' they were talking about be the jerk holding her hostage right now?
Unbelievable! Not only was he injured, but he was also on the run for murder-wait!
So this wasn't a mugging?
But that didn't make Callie feel any better.
If anything, it was worse.
This guy might just kill her to cover his tracks!
Just as Callie was panicking, the man leaned close to her ear.
His voice was hushed and ice cold, devoid of emotion. 'Play along. Or both of us die here tonight.'
Play along? With what?
The man didn't give Callie time to react.
The moment he finished speaking, he spun Callie around to face him, his hands firmly pressing her against the wall.
Callie was trapped between his warm chest and the cold concrete surface, with no wiggle room.
And then he forcefully claimed her lips, swallowing her objections.
What in the world was happening?
Callie's eyes widened in disbelief, and she wanted to resist, but the man had arms like steel cables, bulging with strength.
Plus, the conversation she'd overheard and the man's not-so-thinly-veiled threat gave her pause.
Perhaps it was best to play along, for now.
Reluctantly, Callie placed her hands on the man's back, seizing the opportunity to give him a hard pinch.
Apart from the scowl on her face, the scene between them almost looked like some kind of wild, hungry lovers going at it in the dead of night.
'Jesus, please, make time fly!' Callie prayed silently.
As the footsteps drew near, her heart jumped from her chest into her throat.
Suddenly, she felt the man's strong hands move to her back and ripped her blouse apart with one swift move.
