Sinful Seduction

(Excerpt might change slightly in final version)

She ignored his words as she saw his bruised knuckles. “You’re hurt,” she said, sounding more accusing than she’d meant to.

Reaching out, she took his right hand in hers. It might have been her imagination but an electric current seemed to jolt through her at the contact. His palm and fingers were rough and callused as she inspected his knuckles. He jerked slightly at her touch, but didn’t pull away.

“This is nothing,” he muttered in that deep gravelly voice that did strange things to her insides.

Frowning, she shook her head and stood. “It’s not nothing. You’re coming back to my place so I can patch you up.” When it seemed like he might argue, she continued. “It’s not up for discussion.” She couldn’t explain it, even to herself, but she wanted to take care of this man after everything he’d done for her. Fighting off all those men, and for a stranger, it was incredible.

His dark eyes widened as he stood next to her—towering over her. Men never towered over her, never made her feel small and petite, but this guy did. It was jarring. Exciting. “Fine. But you’re telling me more about those men,” he said as they headed down the sidewalk.

“What’s to tell? I don’t know them.” As music and the sounds of happy, drunk people reached her ears, a sense of calm slid through her.

“But you know why they wanted to take you.” He wasn’t asking. “Because those guys didn’t have mugging or rape in mind.” His blunt words made her stumble as they reached the end of the sidewalk. As if realizing what he’d said he cursed under his breath. “Sorry.”

She shook her head, fighting off a shiver as she pointed left. “This way. And I really don’t know what they wanted.” But she had a small idea. Maybe. She needed to call her father as soon as she had some privacy. Then she would take action and hire security if necessary—which she was 99.9% sure it would be. Involving the cops would be pointless and while she was very appreciative of this stranger’s help she wasn’t going to tell him everything. Especially not since he had a gun. The guy had saved her so she wasn’t worried about him hurting her. Well that and her internal radar wasn’t pinging out of control. She’d learned at a young age to figure out who was an asshole and who wasn’t. Blue definitely wasn’t.

“Hmm.” The sound he made indicated he didn’t believe her. But he didn’t say anything else, just stayed close to her as they headed down the sidewalk. When they neared a cluster of drinking college-aged kids laughing and clogging up the sidewalk, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and steered around them. “Stay close.”
