Kidnapping Casey

Page 17

   


"No way in hell. You have to take me home. You can't just adopt me and take me home like I'm some damn pet. You can't take me from my planet. It's kidnapping and I won't go."
Argernon flinched. He slowly climbed off the bed as well. He kept a good four feet between them. Regret shone in his eyes. "I am sorry, Casey, but I bound you. The sex was too intense and I did not expect my overriding desire or the fact that I couldn't bring myself to pull out of you. There's something I should tell you."
"I am going home, Argernon," she said softly, firmly. "You can't keep me here."
He blinked a few times. "I can keep you and I will. You could be carrying my offspring, Casey. We are breeding compatible." His gaze lowered to her stomach. "Even now my seed could be taking root." He looked into her eyes. "I can keep you. I am only sorry that you are so distressed to stay with me. I was hoping you would be pleased."
"Pleased?" She gasped. "You're kidnapping me from my life, Argernon. I have a home and a job."
He took another deep breath. "Now you will have a new home that you will share with me. Your job will be as my bound. I will cherish you and protect you. I will feed you and care for you. That is your new life."
"You son of a bitch!"
Argernon frowned. "I don't understand. In my language a bitch is a female animal in mating drive."
"Exactly!"
His lips twisted into a grimace. "My mother..." He closed his mouth. "Insults are your human way of dealing with anger. I understand. It doesn't change anything. I am sorry you are upset over this. I was hoping you would be glad."
 
Chapter Five
Casey was locked in Argernon's room and she was considering committing murder. He had dressed, given her a large shirt to wear and food. He'd left her alone hours ago to brood.She'd tried to get the door open but it wouldn't budge. She only had access to his room and to the bathroom. She had found a dagger-like knife that was now stashed under the pillow on the bed.
He'd brought her some kind of fruit plate with some cooked meat. She had no idea what kind of meat it was but it wasn't like anything she'd ever tasted before. It was like some kind of long strip of steak that was tangy and delicious. The fruits had been terrific, though strange looking. The drink he'd given her was red--its taste similar to fruity flavored water.
Rage boiled inside her as she paced. Argernon couldn't kidnap her to take her to another planet. She'd had sex with the guy. Admittedly, it had been great sex, but that didn't mean he could keep her like a pet. Sitting down hard on the bed, she tossed her wet hair over her shoulder.
She'd figured out the shower when he'd gone. She was furious with him and she didn't want to smell like him or sex so she'd washed all traces of him off her body.
Argernon left her right after dropping the bomb about keeping her. He'd said he had duties to perform. What in the hell did that even mean? What did the guy do besides going around having sex with a stranger and kidnapping her after the fact? Casey burned with fury that she refused to let go of, because if she let it go she knew the fear would grip her.
The thought of being taken to another planet where she'd be at an alien's mercy terrified her. She didn't know Argernon at all besides how amazing he was at fucking her. For all she knew he could be abusive. Hell, she thought, she'd known her ex-boyfriend Don better. He'd been a cheating bastard, a liar, and in the end had used his job to almost rape her. What horrible character traits was Argernon hiding from her that she'd discover down the road? The fact that he was a kidnapper wasn't lost on her either.
The door slid open suddenly, startling Casey. She glared at the tall alien as he entered the room. Argernon studied her as he paused inside the door that shut firmly behind him. The door worked fine for him. Obviously the pad to open it needed his handprint. Argernon watched her with caution radiating from him. His gaze left her glare to glance around the room. His attention returned fully on her.
"How many weapons did you find?"
Casey swallowed hard. "None. I wish I'd thought of that."
Snorting, Argernon edged around the room, keeping some distance from her. He watched her closely as he moved. "I assume that an angry female with intelligence is spiteful, Casey.
Hand over the weapons that you found. If you harm me it won't do you any good. There are over a dozen men on this ship who will not let you leave. We have left your planet's orbit and have docked with our ship. There is nowhere to escape to."
"You are lying to me."
"I do not lie. It is a useless endeavor and not honorable."
"So kidnapping a woman is honorable?"
He frowned. "I did not plan on this, Casey. I went to your woods to visit your Earth and seek out your wildlife. I'm a hunter by nature and I wished to explore. I never counted on seeing you running from those men or saving you."
"You took me to the cave. You planned that."
"I wanted you but that was after I had rescued you. You drew me. You still draw me. I want you right now. No woman has ever made me feel as you do. I can't resist you."
Casey's eyes flew to the front of his tight black leatherlike pants. He was clearly turned-on. The outline of his thick cock was unmistakable. He was definitely not lying about wanting her. She jerked her gaze up to his face to glare at him.
"Too bad for you I'm not some brainless slut who sees a big dick and forgets everything to fuck a man. Let me go, Argernon. I want to go back. It's been fun, well, up until you told me I couldn't go home. I'm not something you can just take home and adopt. I'm a person and I have a life."
