Passion Unleashed: Carrying The President’s Child Novel – Men Are Most Dangerous After Dark “Don’t make a sound, and I won’t hurt you. Blink if you understand.” The voice rolled out from the back seat–low, smooth, and commanding. The calmness in his words clashed with the intensity of his action, the barrel of his g*n was locked on the back of her skull.
One wrong move, and she knew it’d be over. A shiver crept down Roselyn White’s spine. She blinked, giving in. She had just wrapped up her first Ub*r trip for the night when a stranger forced his way in and hijacked her ride home. Paralyzed with fear, Roselyn sat motionless. Just a short distance away, several men in black suits advanced with drawn w*apons, their expressions fierce, scanning the area like hunters closing in on prey. “He’s out alone today.
This is our best shot to as**ssinate him. Besides, he’s inhaled a high dose of that potent ap**odisiac, and it’s about to take effect. He can’t have gone far. If we don’t find Nathan Lawson, the boss will make us disappear down in Crocodile Bay.” As the footsteps of the group gradually faded, Roselyn glanced up at the rearview mirror. The man in the back seat had an unusual flush on his face. He was clearly Nathan–the target they were after.
His name sounded familiar to her. She felt like she had heard it somewhere before. “Don’t try anything funny. Start the car,” Nathan said, as if reading Roselyn’s thoughts. His thumb disengaged the safety, and his gaze turned sharp. Roselyn stayed stiff, her pulse racing. The g*n alone was reason enough to stay cautious. “Look, I can give you some money instead, sir. You could book another ride, okay? My grandpa’s in the ICU, and I’m just trying to make enough to help him. I’ve been juggling two jobs to stay afloat–and now, here you are with a g*n to my head.
Why is this happening to me?” Her eyes welled as she clutched at whatever shred of mercy he might still have. Nathan sat slumped in the back, his breath un**en, his body burning from within. The ap**odisiac he’d been dr**ged with was tearing through his system, blurring his grip on reality. He caught the tremor in her voice–genuine and worn. He hadn’t planned to endanger anyone tonight.
