Page 37 of Keeping My Enemies Closer: Pt. 1

“Who says that I can’t keep you here?”he repeated.

“The law,” I shot back.

“And who is going to report me to the law?”he asked, and that’s when I knew.

“Give me my phone back,” I hissed, anger finally licking up my spine.

“So that you can call the police on me?”he smirked.“I think not.”

“Kasimir, you can’t do this,” I repeated.“You can’t hold me here against my will.”

“Yes, I can,” he argued.“I can, and I am most certainly going to.”

“Are you crazy?”I demanded.“I have a job, bills...my mother.You can’t just hold me here prisoner.”

“I’m keeping you, Zoya,” he said, and there was no way that he was not completely out of his crazed mind.

“No, you’re not,” I fired back, and then he started humming that same tune as before.“Quit singing!This isn’t funny!”

Then, before I knew it, Kasimir was in my face, his hand wrapped around my arm.“I am not kidding, Zoya,” he hissed down at me.“You are not leaving here.”

He was serious.

God in Heaven, he was serious.

Changing tactics, I asked, “Why?Why are you doing this?”

“Because you let me cum inside you all night last night, and I refuse to experience that with someone else,” he answered, shocking the hell out of me.“Because you took my dick like you were in love with me, and unfortunately for you, I am now addicted to how you feel wrapped around me.I am addicted to the way you sound, the way you look, and the way that you steal my sanity when you cum for me.You will be lucky if I ever let you leave my sight again.”

Oh, God.

“Kasimir, you’re not thinking this through,” I said, trying to steady my heartbeat, trying to calm my voice.“People saw me leave with you last night.If I show up missing, someone is going to say something.”

Kasimir cocked his head as he said, “That’s not true.People saw me leave withMontana Hugheslast night, not you.”

“My...my friend knows the truth,” I reminded him.

“And you think I’ll have a problem ending your friend to keep you with me?”he asked, and I knew that he wasn’t bluffing.

“Kasimir-”

“Tell you what, I’ll make you a deal,” he said, throwing me off.

“What kind of deal?”I asked suspiciously.

“If you agree to move in with me, then I will let you move about life freely,” he answered, and I could feel my lungs seize in shock.“Move in with me, and then I will let you come and go as you please.”

“Have you lost your mind?”I choked out.“I can’t move in with you.”

“Those are your two choices,lepestok,”he replied.“Live with me voluntarily, or else you will never leave here.There is not a third option.”

“Kasimir-”

“Now, I have an early meeting with my father and brother, and you will stay here while you think it through,” he went on, not caring that he was turning my life completely upside down.“And before you think to call for help or any such nonsense, I’ve already stationed two guards out front, and my office is locked, which houses the only landline and computer in the place.”

“Kasimir, you can’t do this,” I repeated.“I mean...just...we need to talk about this.”

“Which we will when I get back,” he stated calmly, and he had to be insane for this conversation to be even happening.
