I stood on the other side of the door while she shouted in outrage, “You’re just going to leave me cuffed to your bed naked? Pretty skeezy move, don’t you think?”
“Stop the poltergeist shit and—” I almost said I’d uncuff her. Stupid move. I couldn’t uncuff her, no way. “I’ll come back in.”
“It’s not me.”
I leaned against the closed door, trying not to picture her heaving chest and her pink cheeks. She was quiet for a minute, likely reflecting on the clear-as-day lie she’d just told me.
“It’s not something I can control,” she said, the fight draining from her voice. “It just happens. I swear.”
Truth.
Was it too much to ask that whatever trouble she was in was beyond her control? Probably. But I wanted to believe that. If she wasn’t at fault, then I wouldn’t have to turn her in to my alpha. I could leave her in my bed, cuffed, and the two of us could get better acquainted.
“Who are you running from?” I asked.
Silence.
Sighing, I asked, “What kind of trouble are you in?”
“I never said I was in trouble.”
I laughed.
She gave a growl of frustration. “Are you going to stand out there playing bad cop and stupid cop, or are you going to come back in here and let me go?”
She wasn’t going to talk to me, not really. And I needed answers if I was going to figure out my next move. I knew just where to start.
“I’ll be back soon,” I said. “Try not to break anything else while I’m gone.”
“I knew I should never trust a shifter,” she called, her voice growing fainter as I strode down the hall and out the front door.
I couldn’t trust me, either. I couldn’t trust that I’d keep my hands to myself.
