(Teaser) Dark Lover by JR Ward

Chapter18

            "Look, I'm going to take off. This was just--"
          Wrath was in front of her faster than she could blink. "I can't
      let you go."
          Fear licked her heart, but she put up a good front. "You
    can't make me stay."
          His hands lifted to her face. She jerked back but he
     wouldn't let go.
          The pad of his thumb stroked her cheek. Whenever he got
       too close, she became spellbound and it happened again. She
       felt her body swaying toward his.
           "I'm not lying to you," he said. "Your father sent me to you
      Because you're going to need my help. Trust me."
