EXCERPT
“Whoever it is has gone,” he said, his
voice low and rumbling. “I heard footsteps going down the hall.” He
crossed his powerful arms across his chest. “Keep your door locked at all
times,” he said and turned to leave as quietly as he came. He heaved a
huge sigh and keeping his back to her said, “I know you are in danger, I want
to help you. But I can’t unless you let me.”
“I can’t,” she stated
simply. She was tempted, oh so much, but she couldn’t simply lay her
problems onto someone else’s lap.
“Why not,” he said turning back
toward her.
“I just can’t,” she said, her brown
eyes were flat and still. She didn’t trust her voice to say anything more
however, and pressed her lips together to stave off the burning of tears she
felt in her throat and behind her eyes. She watched as Kyle turned the
key in the lock and twisted the knob, opening the door slowly and examining the
hallway beyond carefully, before opening it wider and stepping
through.
“Regardless of your feelings toward
me,” He said softly, back still turned, “I will keep you safe. I only
wish you would confide in me.”
And then he was gone shutting her door
behind him.
