She moved right. I was already there. Every time she tried to get around me, I blocked her path, close enough for the faint scent of her scent to settle under my skin and stay there. Finally, she snapped her gaze up at me, fury blazing in her eyes. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” “You.” The single word hung between us. I released a slow breath. “I just want to talk.” “But I have nothing to say to you.” “And I do.” “About what?
