“Savannah, stop walking away from me.”Jackson’s voice chased her down the long hallway, sharp, controlled, threaded with something dangerously close to desperation.Savannah didn’t stop. Didn’t slow. Didn’t look back.Her pulse hammered against her ribs as she pushed through the double doors leading into the east wing sitting room, the one room in this mansion that didn’t feel like it pressed the air out of her lungs.She needed space.She needed to breathe.She needed a world without Sterling eyes watching her every move , including Jackson’s.But Jackson wasn’t a man who let things go.He followed, steps long and unyielding, his presence filling the doorway before she could gather her thoughts.“Savannah,” he said again, quieter this time, “look at me.”She spun around so fast it startled him.“Look at you?” she choked out. “I’ve been looking at you for weeks, Jackson. And every time I think I understand you, something else detonates in my face.”His jaw flexed. “That’s not fair.”
