Claimed by a Dangerous Man
"Who did that to you?" His voice pressed, demanding.
But I had to shut him down if I wanted to keep myself together. "If you get to keep things from me, then so do I."
βIf I find out who he isβif I find himβ¦β
βI hope you donβt,β I cut in. βBecause Iβd rather he was already dead.β
βI won't be at peace until you see it for yourself. Either his grave, or his death right in front of you.β He inched closer to me, pulling my chin more and more until our faces were very close. βAnd remember, Leandra ....β His words sounded like a promise. His breathing was so heavy, so determined. βThe moment you watch that bastard die, youβll see me there too.β

Being my best friendβs delivery girl isnβt exactly my idea of fun. Usually, itβs annoying.
But this time? This time, it led me straight to him.
He kissed meβthis stranger, so alluring that it made me think of him all the time. The scent of his body, his heavy voice, his pierced grey eyes ... it all stayed with me. Haunted me. Drove me crazy.
The problem? He wants nothing to do with me.
He keeps his distance, tells me to stay away, says I need to forget him. He says heβs a dangerous man.
But how do I forget someone whoβs already under my skin? How do I let go of the one man whoβs already claimed my heart?
