“You should sleep.”
His orders were getting a bit out of hand, but she let it pass. He’d killed for her. When a guy took that step, you cut him some slack.
“I’m not getting into bed before I wash the dirt and blood and heaven only knows what else off me.”
His gaze wandered all over her, and the skin under his heated gaze tingled. “What about you? You can have half of the bed.”
“No. It’s not a good idea.”
“I was only talking about getting some rest. Nothing else.”
“You know, you’re a very attractive woman, Sela.”
“One with her own mind. I know who I’m attracted to and who I’m not.”
“And what type of guy are you attracted to?”
She debated playing it safe, then thought about how close she’d come to death over the last twenty-four hours, and skipped right over the games to the truth.
“You.”

That wasn’t the problem, except for how clueless she appeared to be to the danger around her. The other shot centered on the building’s underground garage. There, in stall seventeen, not far from where Zach sat, a man fiddled with something under the hood of her car.
And not just any man. A guy dressed in black, his gaze skipping around the garage as if looking for witnesses. He’d even taken the time to disable the security camera. He just didn’t know he’d missed one—Zach’s.
Thanks to this development, Zach knew he had to break his word. When he’d convinced Adam Wright, his fellow Recovery Project agent, to tap into the cameras in Sela’s building, Zach promised to watch but not get involved. That wasn’t possible now. He pressed the green button on the bottom of his watch and sent Adam an emergency pulse. Just in case.
