Slow Burn

Ось переклад англійською: --- "Hey, little one, take it easy," I hear a pleasant voice with a playful tone. "Though, I wouldn't mind cuddling with you."

Open the door. I want to get out!“ I say. ”No!“ he says. ”Alex, I want to get out! Open the door, please!“ I repeat. ”Son, it won't help you," he says and starts the engine. I'll take you home. I roll my eyes, take a deep breath, and tell him the address of the neighboring house. “That kiss didn't mean anything!” I blurt out as we drive. “You caught me off guard, and I couldn't-” “Resist?” he finishes for me.

"Are you the one setting conditions for me now, huh?" he interrupted, surprised by what he saw as her audacity. "No, sweetheart, I make the rules here. You came to my family, so you play by my terms. And they’re simple: you’ll do everything I say. Otherwise, you’ll really have to go back home. Got it?"

Do I know what obsession is? Oh, yes, I do. I’ve been chasing it around the world for nearly eleven years. The one and only thing I ever wanted — a gold coin of Louis IX, minted to commemorate his coronation. Imagine my surprise when I find out that, after the owner’s death, his entire collection went to his granddaughter — a girl who seems to have no clue she’s sitting on a fortune. Or maybe she does… and she’s just driving the price up. But to get what I want, I’m ready for anything. Even to pretend to be someone I’m not. What I didn’t expect was that first, it would be her beauty that would captivate me… then her innocence and kindness. And soon, I won’t even know what I want more — the coin or to protect her from the same predators circling her inheritance… predators like me.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you home.” “You really don’t understand normal words, do you?” I start to get irritated. “Do you think you can get away with anything?” “Oh? Can’t I? Not everything?” He stops, smiling. “People don’t belong to you.” “Seriously?” he feigns surprise, clearly enjoying my confusion. I ignore his gaze and keep typing in the address to find the nearest taxi. “You’re brave,” he drawls. “Alright, I get it — let’s switch places. Tonight, you can do anything you want. Pick whatever you like, I’ll make it happen… but on one condition.” This night could have ended differently, but I made my choice — and agreed to his reckless game.

Kidnapping unconscious girls?” “Let me think,” he said, furrowing his brow. “You’re number ten tonight. I’m falling behind. Need two more.” His voice dripped with mock despair, and as he sighed and looked away, it was as if her fear didn’t even register.
