Yellow (The Safeword Series, #2) (2015)
“You’ve clearly lost your damn mind.”
Haunting music drifted like smoke from the speakers overhead. The doors of the elevator were like a fun house mirror, turning our reflections into shapeless, faceless caricatures. The walls seemed to creep in with every passing moment, like some sort of tomb. None of it was nearly as frightening as the glares I was getting from Mary - and the realization that my first swing at this covert stuff had blown up in my face.
I had no idea how long until we reached... our destination; the office, or the roof so she could hurl me from it...
I bit my lip and cast a cautious eye in her direction. She was a far cry from the grinning woman who greeted me with a smile as big as her curly locks. She’d even hugged me, clucking her tongue at my extended hand, surprising me with how strong she was when she nearly lifted me off the floor. She stared straight ahead now, like she was ready to get out of the elevator before she went off on me.
“M-Mary,” I stammered, wringing my hands because honestly, I had no idea what else to do with them.MoreLess
