It was the intellect in that gaze that gave her pause. She saw challenge in his eyes as well as a warning. This was a man you didn’t want to fool with.
“Tell me what you’re really doing up here,” she said, not about to break eye contact first. He might be dangerous, but then again, he didn’t realize the kind of woman he’d crossed paths with either.
“Checking my cattle, just like I told you.”
He was either telling the truth or he was a damned good liar.
She reminded herself that he could just be playing along. If he knew who she was and what she was doing on his land … “Can’t you please untie me?”
“No.”
“You really think I’m going to get away?”
He smiled. “If I give you half a chance, yes.” He turned back to his cooking.
“There wasn’t another reason you just happened to come up here?” she asked quickly.
He turned off the stove and gave her his full attention. She found herself holding her breath. There was something about this man that scared her—especially the way he made her heart pound when he was this near, his gaze so intent on her that she feared he could see into her soul.
“As a matter of fact, there was another reason.”
She expected him to finally tell her that he knew who she was. That she was the reason he was here.
“I wanted to spend a few days up in this country because I enjoy it. I thought I’d be alone. But since I’m not …” He was taunting her. Her feminine wiles were wasted on this man. “So, Jinx, what exactly are you offering?”
“If you think I’m going to sleep with you, you’re going to be disappointed,” she snapped and slid away from him.
He laughed. “Hell, I’m already disappointed. I thought we were being honest with each other.”
“I should just let them kill you,” Jinx grumbled, trying to get to her feet. With her hands tied behind her, it was a struggle.
Dawson rose abruptly, grabbed her waist and lifted her to her feet. His dark gaze bored into hers. “Now that we’re being honest, no more games. Seduction might have worked on your rustler boyfriend, but quite frankly you aren’t very good at it and anyway, you’re not my type.”
She swore as she tried to kick him in the groin. He’d obviously expected it, because he stepped to the side, grabbing her as she lost her balance and started to fall to the cave floor.
“Enough foreplay,” he growled as he hauled her back over to the stool and pushed her down on it. Leaning over her, his gaze fired with anger as he said, “I’m getting my cattle back and you’re going to jail, and if your boyfriend comes after you, he’s going to get himself killed.”
