Chapter Seven
"That was pretty funny watching you and your boyfriend fight." Sam stood over Tessa holding his fast food bag.
He was talking through chewed food, and his lips were making a disgusting smacking sound. Tessa cringed and pulled on her legs, which were still tightly tied to the bed. She wished that Levi would have at least untied them before he went. That way she would have a little bit of defense from this guy if he got weird.
Where is he anyway? Levi had been gone for almost fifteen minutes, and Tessa was really starting to get worried. Even more worried than when she had first been abducted. She felt a strange connection to Levi. There was an odd comfort from being with him. It felt like she was meant to meet this man.
"I mean it was great timing for us." Sam snorted. "Your boyfriend seems like a dick, though."
Tessa was getting increasingly annoyed with this guy. He took a step closer to the bed, putting another fry in his mouth. He gave her an odd smirk before wiping his greasy hands on his shirt.
Tessa stopped herself from rolling her eyes. "I'm super glad my life and problems can be so entertaining for you. I knew I had a purpose on this earth." She narrowed her eyes, pulling on her arms.
Sam cocked his head to the side. His posture made her uneasy. He stepped closer to her, reaching into the brown paper bag.
"Hungry?"
"No." She shook her head.
"Oh, come on. I thought you were going to be a good girl." Sam bent forward, closer to her face.
Tessa leaned as far away from him as the ropes would allow, which wasn't far. "I said no."
Sam pulled his hand out of the bag, holding a few French fries. "Eat."
He smiled at her, showing off his crooked teeth. Sam then shoved his hand toward her face.
Tessa gasped, turning her head away from him. "Stop it!"
Sam put his knee on the bed, next to her side, and pushed the fries against her face, smearing the cold grease across her cheek.
"Eat." He chuckled as he pressed the fries harder against her face.
Tessa turned her head from side to side, trying to get him to stop. It only made him laugh louder. She let out a scared grunt and pulled on all her limbs even harder. Bits of the food broke off and fell on her chest.
"You're making a mess, girl." Sam dropped the rest of the food, and it also landed on her chest.
"Seriously, stop!" Tessa's eyes teared up again. Was she really in this mess because her dad had made poor money choices?
Sam looked into her eyes before looking down at her cleavage. His smirk grew more wicked as he reached down, grabbing a large piece of French fry from her. His fingers lingered on the top of her breast before he ran the food over her skin. Tessa closed her eyes, tears falling from them.
Just then, the hotel door slowly creaked open. Tessa opened her eyes and turned her head to find Levi standing in the doorway, holding her water. He hastily dropped it onto a nearby chair and stepped into the room. Relief filled her chest and maybe a bit of affiliation, too.
"Get the hell away from her!" Levi kicked the door shut and took large steps around the end of the bed.
Sam slowly stood from the bed, letting his fingers trail off her a little too gradually. "What the fuck is your problem? I haven't even done anything, yet."
Levi stepped to him and slapped his hand, causing Sam to lose hold of the brown bag. It went flying, smashing against the wall before falling to the floor.
"Stay away from her." Levi stood over Sam, the difference in the men all too evident.
Levi's arms were flexed and his muscles were bulging, making his tattoos look even more impressive. His green eyes flashed as he clenched his jaw, his nostrils flaring.
Sam took a step back, wiping his hands on his shirt again. "Dude! You know the boss doesn't care if we fuck with them as long as we don't hurt them."
"Not her. Don't make me fucking repeat myself, Sam." Levi stared at him for several seconds before cracking his neck.
Finally, Levi turned and looked down on Tessa. Her breath caught in her throat just taking in this man and the atmosphere he created around himself. He was confident and commanding. This might not have been the best timing or situation, but Tessa's body was taking notice of him and his.
A slow tingle started in her clit, and it only increased when Levi spoke to her.
"Love, did he hurt you?"
Sam tried to protest, but Levi lifted a hand to the man's chest, pushing him back a step. Tessa took a shaky breath, relaxing into the bed.
"No. Not really."
Levi turned his stare on Sam. He shoved the man again, causing him to bump into the wall. "Not her."
Sam lifted his arms. "Fine. Damn!"
