“Incapacitated?” she echoed. “Is that what you like to call it? Because those men look more dead than incapacitated.”
He didn’t so much as flinch from the verbal jab. “What do we call saving your ass these days? Oh, right, saving your ass,” he said sarcastically, and then he took off walking.
Julia wasn’t sure if she wanted to laugh or cry. There was no denying that this man had just saved her life.
But there was also no ignoring that he’d taken two other lives in the process.
Shoving aside the menacing reminder, she followed Sebastian, and they made their way through the forest. Their soft breathing and the crackle of twigs beneath their feet were the only sounds in the otherwise still air. At one point, Sebastian ordered her to stay put, disappeared in the shadows, and returned a moment later with a black duffel bag, which he must have stashed earlier, and then he slung the bag over his shoulder and signaled that they were resuming the trek. The temperature was dropping, making Julia grateful for the long-sleeved plaid shirt she’d worn over her tank top. She was glad for the sneakers, too, because they made walking in this mountainous terrain much easier.
But the longer they walked, the more concerned she got, until finally she couldn’t hold her tongue any longer. “Where are we going?” she whispered.
Sebastian spared her a glance over his shoulder. “To meet our ride.”
Bewilderment rippled through her, and it only got worse when they stepped into a rocky clearing ten minutes later and she laid eyes on the white-and-brown horse standing by a cluster of rosewood trees. The animal neighed at the newcomers’ approach, then dipped its majestic head to munch on some blades of grass.
Julia stared at the horse for several long moments, then turned to look at Sebastian. “Okay. I’m sorry,” she muttered, shaking her head repeatedly. “But before I go anywhere else with you, I need to ask this—who the hell are you?”
