TJ stroked her cheek
and jaw line with his knuckles. What was it about this woman? How had she
gotten under his skin, making him second-guess his own judgment? He couldn’t
afford to doubt any decision he made. His life depended on making the right
call on instinct.
“I’ll be back, Rae.” He rose and looked down at her. “And no one but me will ever see you like this.” He bent and kissed her, a light brush of his lips to hers. “And it’s their loss, too, darling.”

Her eyes
widened. Her lips thinned. “You son of a bitch! Untie me now!”
If only he

He jerked it away and then grasped her chin roughly.
“Shut up. I
don’t have time for this, or for arguments. I’m leaving. If you scream like
that again, the neighbors will find you before I get back and they’ll have a
lot of questions. Remember, what answers they don’t get, they’ll invent.”
She snarled at him. “I hate you.”* * * *
