Scarlet stepped out of the restaurant where she had dined with Lilith, the wind brushed against her arms the moment she came out making her pull her coat tighter around herself. The dinner had gone rather well. Lilith was still under her control and that was a good thing..for now.But just as she turned the corner, she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes remained locked on the man standing few feets away from her.The man named Luke was standing by a parked car, leaning against it like he had all the time in the world, his eyes locked straight on her. He was tall and had that maddening calm on his face. But his eyes were sharp.Scarlet’s breath caught in her throat. She blinked, hoping it was her mind playing tricks on her. But no, he was still standing there in flesh, staring at her.She turned fast and began to walk, no, almost run, along the sidewalk, her heart pounding loudly in her ears.“Scarlet,” he called behind her, his voice was louder than her racing heart. “Don’t run.”
