Free King of Slaves (Jenna's Story) (The Slave Series Book 5) by Elin Peer Page A

long hard stare. “You’re really serious about this?”
    A firm glance was all the answer he got.
    “All right.” He sighed. “I’ll pitch in too.”
    Kioni nodded. “Thank you.”
    “I actually came by because I have something I think you need to hear.”
    “What?”
    “It’s that woman again.”
    Kioni crossed his arms and rested his head against the headboard of his bed. “Jenna Davis?”
    Zurry nodded and fished his cell phone out of his pocket. “She phoned her family and I’m told she mentioned both our names.”
    “What did she say?”
    “I don’t know yet, I just received the file from security.”
    “Good, play it.”
    Zurry pulled out his phone, found the audio file, and started playing the recording.
    There were two loud rings before a female answered.
    “Hello, Jenna?”
    “Yeah, it’s me.”
    “Oh my goodness, are you okay?“
    “Yes I’m fine, sis. Did I wake you?”
    “No, I mean yes, but… that’s okay, what on earth happened to you?”
    Jenna made a small grunt. “You’re not going to believe me if I told you.”
    “Try me.”
    “Okay, long story short; I met the king, and when he bluntly came onto me, I rejected him in an equally direct manner.”
    “The king came on to you? Are you kidding me?
    “No.”
    “That must have been one harsh rejection if it landed you in jail; what did you do – kick him in his nuts?”
    “Tsk.” Jenna clicked her tongue. “I called him a baboon.”
    Alex started to chuckle. “A baboon? Seriously… that’s… ehhm… I don’t even know what to say.” Her chuckle grew to laughter.
    “It’s not funny, Alex.” Jenna’s voice sounded like she was smiling. 
    “No, I’m sorry… but at least tell me if the guy is as hot as in his picture, then?”
    “I wouldn’t know, since I didn’t see his picture,” Jenna answered dryly.
    “But you saw him in real life.”
    “Yes.”
    “And was he worth his title?”
    “What do you mean…? His title as king?”
    “No, you idiot. He’s been selected the sexiest royalty alive – three times.”
    Kioni’s vanity made him smile. He’d always found it ridiculous when magazines compared him to other princes and kings around the world, but right now he was somewhat pleased that Jenna’s sister knew this about him.
    “Ohh… by whom, Monthly Magazine for Blind People ?” Jenna snorted and Zurry’s head snapped up to look at Kioni.
    The sister chuckled. “Ahhh, damn Photoshop. I should have known it; he was just too yummy to be real.”
    Jenna sighed. “Well, if I have to be completely honest, he is very handsome.”
    “Then why did you say no when he came on to you?”
    “Ahh, come on Alex, either you are out of your mind or I woke you up in the middle of an erotic dream or something.”
    “Why?”
    “Because honestly, who sleeps with a guy just because he has gorgeous hair and dark chocolate brown eyes?”
    Alex gave another low chuckle… “Ohh, so he has gorgeous hair?”
    Zurry smirked and shook his head. “What is it about your hair, man?”
    “Shhh,” Kioni hushed as Jenna responded on the recording.
    “Why are we even talking about his looks?… The man is a tyrant, and he locked me up for two and a half days without access to a bathroom or the outside. Believe me when I tell you that he could be Mr. Universe and I still wouldn’t touch him even if I was hanging from a cliff and he offered me a hand.”
    Both men frowned and exchanged glances.
    “So when are you coming home?”
    “I’m not.”
    There was complete silence on the line and then Alex pleaded. “Jenna, you can’t stay, it’s not safe. Come home, please.”
    “I’m fine now, just shocked and angry at Zurry and the king. I’m meeting with my team and then hopefully we can get to work.”
    “Who is Zurry?”
    “The king’s best friend and an even bigger asshole. I think he’s the war lord or something… the guy looks fierce, with battle scars and a constant scowl.”
    “Sounds scary.”
