Damn him. The man reeked of scare tactics. He wouldn’t win.
She wouldn’t let him. Did he really think she would back down that easily?

She swallowed hard and bit her lip. His hot breath tickled
her cheek, and his male scent surrounded her like a musky cocoon, turning her

To her horror, a small whimper escaped her lips.
A hard smile played across his mouth, his gaze cool and

Arrogance.
Power.
Pure male confidence.
His eyes remained locked on hers, daring her to challenge

Without thinking, she grabbed his collar, yanked him down to

A groan reverberated in his throat, low and deep, a sexual
sound that left her panting for more. Lust rippled through her body, invading
