Captured Miracle Read Online Free PDF

The size was just right. I was a solid four. The realization that he knew my exact size made me wonder just how long he’d been plotting my abduction. How much did he know about me?
    Peeking over my shoulder, I found that he was watching me intently. There was no shame in his eyes when I caught him staring. Instead, there was challenge.
    On a huff, I turned back around. Shoving my feet into the white high waist maxi skirt, I tried to think up a way to get my shirt on without giving him a show. All I could do was keep my front turned away from him as I pulled the nightshirt over my head. I shoved my arms into the holes of the cropped champagne tank top. I didn’t have a bra, but the shirt had a nice flow, making my lack of a bra seem almost planned.
    I turned around to face him, “I don’t suppose you thought of shoes?”
    “When it comes to you, love, I think of everything.” Calix reached into the compartment, producing a strappy pair of gold sandals.
    “What else have you got in there?” I grunted, already bending over to strap my feet into the sandals.
    “Everything you’ll need until we’re home.”
    Home . The word made me feel sick to my stomach and I felt my skin pale dramatically. The blood drained from my face in one quick swoosh, dropping to my feet. My skin was sticky, cold and clammy with sweat as I gasped for breath. I felt dizzy and my breaths were shallow as I gripped the edge of the seat, my moist fingers digging into the leather.
    A frown tugged at Calix’s brow, marring his breathtaking beauty. “Nova?” His movements were slow and careful as he crossed the distance between us. His hands settled on my arms, running over the length of them gently. “Are you all right?”
    “Home.” I breathed the word, trying not to let myself cry. “Where is home?”
    He sighed. Sliding a finger beneath my chin, he forced my head to tilt back. His cerulean eyes found my dull brown orbs and his full lips parted. “Your home is with me, Nova. We will be living in Alberta, in the mountains. I’m certain you will enjoy living there if you’ll only accept this.”
    One tear slid from the corner of my eye, but no others followed. However, when I spoke my voice croaked. “I don’t want to accept this, Calix.”
    He shook his head, slowly closing his eyes. For the first time since my abduction, I saw something like regret flare in the depths of his steel eyes. My breath caught and hope reared its head in my chest. I sat still as Calix leaned forward, resting his forehead against mine. My breaths stilled in my chest and my heart raced. Feeling him so close to me, like this, set confliction loose inside my body. I ached to pull away, but I desired nothing more than to stay like this with him. I sensed a rare vulnerability within this strong, powerful man, and I couldn’t help but want to caress it.
    Before I knew what was happening, Calix lifted his head from mine. His hand cupped the side of my face, his touch warm and soft. I forced myself to remain still as the pad of his thumb swiped across the delicate skin beneath my eye. “I can’t let you go, Nova.”
    My heart broke. Again. “Why?”
    “Because this is bigger than just you and me.” He whispered and my heart thudded. I searched his eyes frantically, hoping to find an answer lurking in their depths. I didn’t. The vulnerability I’d seen in them only moments before had vanished to be replaced by the cold hard man who’d taken me. My captor was back.
    I had to try. “What’s bigger, Calix?”
    He dropped his hand. “If you have to pee, I suggest we go now. If not, I’ll let the driver know we’ll be on our way.”
    I let my eyes fall to my shiny blue painted toes. This was the last thing I’d done with my sisters. We’d given each other pedicures last night before bed. Only last night, I’d laughed and joked with my family - the family I would never see again. My breaths were sharp and shaky as I tugged my gaze from my toes.
    “I have to
