Jeremy kissed Jessica long and hard on the mouth. Clearly he felt like she was in his power and could do whatever he wanted with her.
She tried her hardest to fake some enthusiasim, and Jeremy didn't seem to suspect anything. A moment later he drew back from her. "You stay right here and make yourself comfortable," he said huskily, placing heavy hands on her shoulders. "I'll be right back, and then . . . "
Jeremy disappeared downstairs. As soon as he was out of sight, Jessica leaped to her feet. Dashing to the window, she pushed the curtain aside and peered out into the snowy night.
Where are they? she wondered, panic slicing her heartlike a knife. Sam's car was nowhere in sight.
Jessica raced to the other side of the cabin. The same veiw met her eyes from that window. Oh, no! They didn't make it. The realization hit her like an avalanche. The whole time she'd been sitting on the couch with Jeremy, Jessica had felt protected by her knowledge that help was just a shout away. Im alone here, Jessica thought, her teeth chattering. they got lost or had an accident. I'm alone.
