Chapter 58 Seduction

Chapter 58 Seduction
I froze at the sound of Julio's roar. My mind went blank for a split second before reality crashed down on me.

Morrison was here.

And I was naked. Collared. Tied up with rope.

Fuck. This was the worst possible timing.

"Get off me!" I fought against Julio's hold.

This psycho. I'd slapped him once and he'd gotten horny enough to tie me up and fuck me.

Julio wrapped his arms tighter around me, then yanked the blanket from beside us and covered my body completely.

The gesture caught me off guard. His first instinct had been to protect me from being seen.

But I refused to feel grateful. He'd created this entire situation in the first place.

"Julio, you're under arrest. Put your hands above your head. Don't try to resist!" Morrison's voice grew louder.

He must be walking from the door toward the bed. This room wasn't large. Morrison would see my current state any second now.

"Untie me. Now!" I hissed at Julio.

"You should have thought about this when you called him here!" Julio shot back in a low voice near my ear.

I couldn't argue. He was right.

Morrison was here because I'd contacted him. After leaving the island, I'd sent Morrison a text message with my location.

We'd agreed that if I didn't return after three days, he'd use my phone's tracking signal to find me.

I knew Julio well enough to understand his obsessive nature. I'd prepared for the possibility he wouldn't let me leave.

But I never imagined Morrison would arrive at this exact moment.

"This is your fault for losing your mind! Think of something! Do you want people seeing me like this?"

Julio shrugged with complete indifference.

"I don't care. My body looks great. I'm not embarrassed."

I bit down hard on his shoulder. This vain, shameless exhibitionist!

He probably wanted to show off his physique to everyone. More importantly, show off his eight-inch cock!

"Julio, stand up! Come with us!" I saw Morrison's gun pressed against Julio's head.

He'd reached the bed already.

I burrowed deeper under the blanket. Morrison couldn't see me in this condition.

Then I realized my hands and feet could move. Julio had untied the ropes.

"Done." Julio kissed my cheek.

"Relax. I won't let anyone see you." He promised me.

Julio climbed off me and wrapped the blanket more securely around my entire body.

Morrison looked at me lying on the bed with obvious confusion. But he clearly had no time to deal with me right now. He kept his gun aimed at Julio's head.

"Come with me." Morrison gestured for Julio to walk toward the door.

Julio pulled a handgun from his robe pocket and aimed it directly at Morrison. I hadn't anticipated this development at all. My eyes went wide with shock.

"Get out. Or my gun will blow your brains out!" Julio's voice was cold.

I finally understood what Julio was trying to do. He wanted Morrison to leave so I could get dressed.

But this was assaulting an officer. Morrison could shoot him right now and be completely justified.

I sat up in bed, making sure the blanket stayed wrapped around me.

"Julio, put the gun down!" I tried to reason with him.

He turned his face toward me, confusion clear in his expression.

"Ashley, why? You obviously don't want them to see you."

Morrison obviously hadn't expected Julio to have a weapon. His body language showed increased tension.

"Put down the gun! Julio, I'm saying this one more time. Put it down, or I'll shoot!" Morrison's warning rang through the room.

"Julio, if you go with Officer Morrison, he'll let me stay here and change my clothes." I spoke quickly, trying to explain.

I used my eyes to signal Morrison, hoping he'd catch on and back up my story. Even if Morrison would be justified shooting Julio for assaulting an officer, the Adam family would never let him get away with killing their heir.

Morrison understood my hint. He nodded.

"Julio, if you're worried about Ashley, you don't need to be. We won't do anything to her. We'll let her change in the room before coming out." Morrison paused mid-sentence, his eyes shifting to me.

He'd clearly figured out what Julio and I had just been doing.

Morrison stared at me with disbelief, as if accusing me of calling him to arrest Julio while I'd been having sex with the man.

All my blood rushed to my face. My cheeks were definitely redder than a monkey's ass.

Damn it! Did he think I'd wanted this? Julio's brain lived between his legs!

"OK." Julio put his gun away.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Morrison and I exchanged glances. His expression also relaxed considerably.

"Julio, come with me." Morrison pushed Julio's shoulder, urging him toward the door.

Julio didn't move. He looked at me on the bed.

"Ashley, you've been playing me this whole time." Julio's voice was quiet.

I heard the accusation underneath his calm tone. But I didn't feel guilty at all. Julio had been manipulating me too. James. Warner. This room. All of it.

I'd only outsmarted Julio once. By my count, he still owed me.

Morrison led Julio toward the door. He was considerate enough to close it behind them as they left.

I picked up my clothes from beside the bed. Then I realized they were completely unwearable.

The button on my pants was missing where Julio had ripped it off. The collar of my shirt was torn from his violent hands.

"Fuck!" I kicked the food cart in frustration.

"Oh!" Pain shot through my toes and tears sprang to my eyes.

I sat on the bed clutching my foot. My toes were already swelling and turning red. I'd kicked too hard.

What a terrible day.

I called Morrison with no other option.

"I need clothes." My voice was clipped.

"What do you need clothes for?" Morrison asked.

"Mine aren't wearable!" I shouted into the phone.

"I tore all her clothes." Julio's amused voice came through Morrison's phone.

"Shut up, you bug!" I screamed.

"Enough! Both of you be quiet!" Morrison's roar cut through our argument.

I'd forgotten this was Morrison's phone. I hung up. Morrison would bring me clothes.

About ten minutes later, Morrison knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Morrison pushed the door open. His eyes stayed fixed elsewhere, refusing to look at me.

This cop was acting like some virgin.

Morrison held out the clothes. I noticed his ears turning bright red.

"Officer Morrison, do you want to sleep with me?" I teased him.

I'd only meant to joke around with Morrison. I didn't expect him to practically jump.

"Ashley, what are you saying? Do you try to seduce every man you meet?" Morrison glared at me.

I'd helped Morrison catch Julio, and this was how he repaid me? By insulting me?

I grabbed the clothes from Morrison's hand.

"Get out! Before you accuse me of trying to seduce you too!"
