“I need your help,” she whispers as she looks at me. “I wanted to tell you last night, but…but I was scared.”
Havin’ her naked in my bed, lookin’ at me as if she’s about to cry isn’t helpin’ my beast from roarin’ inside me. It wants out. It needs to know what the feck this girl has gotten herself into.
“What is it, Clover? Ye can tell me anythin’. Ye know that by now.”
“He’s going to come for me, and he’s going to kill me.”
Her words slowly sink into my soul. I’m already breakin’ all my rules for her. I should focus on work, on the club, but as much as I try, I can’t fight how she makes me feel. It’s wrong to want her as much as I do. It’s feckin’ bollocks to crave her like I do.
I knew there were secrets she’s been keepin’, and even though I wanted to shake them out of her, I’ve let it be. But now that she seems to be on the edge of confession, I wait. Holdin’ my breath, I keep my hands fisted at my sides. If I don’t, I’ll grip her shoulders and pull her into my arms. It’s not what she needs right now, though. I have to treat this gently. I’m not a gentle person, not by any means, but with her, I’m goin’ta have ta be.
But before she can admit anythin’ to me, I say, “I know who you are, wee thing. I remember.”
