There was something about that agreement that just didn’t sit right with her.
Something that just smacked of a man with an agenda.
The arousal that burned between them was another warning.
She’d warned him not to mate her without her knowledge.
He hadn’t kissed her. He hadn’t taken her.
But still, she swore she could smell the subtle intensity of the hunger burning between them.
She shouldn’t be able to smell any such thing. But the delicate, barely there scent of a man and a woman merging still seemed to pique her sense of smell.
And that knowledge terrified her in ways she didn’t want to face at the moment.

“Come on.” He held his hand out to her.
Liza couldn’t force herself to take it. She couldn’t allow herself to touch him.
Because she wanted him.
She wanted him in spite of the fact that she felt manipulated as hell. She wanted him in spite of the knowledge that she was being used.
Used to catch a killer.
Used to save a child.
But she was being used all the same.
Slowly, his hand lowered.
