“N-No…” I shake my head. “My name is Cara. Your men must’ve gotten me mixed up with Leanna. I took her shift tonight for her.”
He blinks, almost in slow motion, and I can see the wheel in his head turning. Even though I shouldn't, I snuggle deeper into his arms. I can’t explain why I feel protected by him, but a part of me wants to stay here forever.
“Hmm, well that changes things a bit then, doesn’t it?”
I pull back from the warmth of his chest.
“What are you going to do to me?” I’m afraid to know the answer to that question, but I have to ask. His eyes grow darker, and his nostrils flare almost like he’s breathing my scent in.
Those firm lips of his part, and my stomach flutters in response.
His next words rain down on me like a bucket of ice water.
“I don’t know yet, but I’m not letting you go.”
