Jonathan grinned as his eyes trailed over Nadia. It had been too long since he'd been this close to her and he delighted in that frightened look in her eyes.

"I've been watching you, little kitten," he mused as he stepped toward her, "and I have to say, for all the security that man has on you he still hasn't figured out that I have eyes on the inside. You were never safe in this building. I've just been waiting for the right time to snatch you up."

The fear in her green eyes hardened as she threw her purse at his face. He growled and batted it away from him, but he wasn't expecting her shoes to immediately follow after. He cursed as one of the heels clobbered him in the head.

"You're not taking me anywhere!" She roared as she pounced on him and tackled him to the floor.

"You were always my feisty one," he chuckled and growled as he gripped her hair and flipped her over. "I've missed this," he grinned as he pinned her arms over her head and clipped a carabiner to a loop in her pants. "We'll have plenty of time to play when I get you home."

"No!" She screamed and struggled beneath him. She lifted her head to crack it against his skull but he dodged her attack and gripped her hair and slammed her head against the floor to stop her struggles.

This was far too easy.

He laughed at her limp form. She'd be out just long enough for him to get her out of here. He pulled a grappling gun from his side and shot it through the hatch. He tugged on it twice and cuddled her to him as he lifted them out of the elevator.

"Miss Nadia!" Her guards roared from outside the elevator as they pried the doors open.

Those idiots are too late.

Nadia stirred awake in his arms and pushed against his chest. "No...no..."

He held her head and pressed his lips to her ear, "shh, little kitten. You're with your Master now," he whispered. She turned her head and bit down hard on his cheek. "Fuck! You bitch!" He yelled as he let go of her. She twisted around in his arms, unhooked the carabiner on her hip and gripped the edge of the hatch while she kicked her heels into his stomach as she screamed for her guards.

Jonathan growled as he gripped her hips and pulled against her tight grip on the hatch. "Jeff, Kaden fucking help me you idiots!"

"Don't think they can help you, Jonathan," a gruff voice called from behind him as a team of five black clad military grade men slid down from the top of the elevator shaft.

His heart pounded as he released Nadia and she fell into the elevator in the arms of her guards below. Jonathan looked around at his men, knocked out and tied up against the wall.

Son of a bitch that asshole is good, but I'm better.

He raised his arms in defeat as he stared into the dark eyes of the soldier in front of him. "You have to hand me over to the police, gentlemen. It's my first offense. I know my rights. Your precious little charge will be fighting lawsuits from my family for the rest of her life if you don't," he smirked. "And my family has enough power to ruin the Sholas."

The men around him burst out laughing. "You hear this shit, boss? Threatening us with mommy and daddy already."

"Mm, I hear it. You guys know what to do," the gruff man scoffed as one of the soldiers pulled his hands behind his back and zip tied his wrists.

"Wipe that grin off your face boy," Their leader growled as he stepped up to him and leaned into his ear. "No one said we had to hand you over right away," he said and shoved his fist into his stomach.

Jonathan choked as he fell forward and a black sack was tied around his head. He sucked in a breath and struggled against them before a hand cracked against his neck and his body fell limp.

A/N: Pffftt!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Jonathan got knocked the fuck out! It would be too easy to kill that fucker....yet. But I'd love to know what these guys are going to do to him.
